[urq] Vintage 80's steering wheel

Reminds me of the Hella-branded wheel that I nabbed in Germany. It appears to be virtually identical to the 3-spoke Audi-sport wheel, I think made by the same Italians. Anyway, I found it in a ratty 90 (typ85) destined for recycling by the idiotic "Wotan team", sitting in their back lot with grass slowly taking over. I loosened the wheel, then found the key laying somewhere. Surprised that it started, I decided to have a beer-fueled spin around the empty lot. Foot-to-the-floor displayed still ample torque, which revealed a broken seatback, which reminded me that the steering wheel nut was no longer nutted! Luckily, the brakes still worked.
