[urq] Many questions...

[Allan A. Fulsher]

In 1986 two identical red 5000 CS Turbo Quattros were campaigned in the 
Northwest in SCCA Showroom Stock (very minor mods allowed; mainly a bolt in 
cage, tires and struts). I watched them at Portland International Raceway. 
Both failed to finish for mechanical reasons. Watching these then new 
magnificent looking machines led me to purchase a 5000 CS Turbo Quattro.
