[urq] Audi at Sebring

[Martin Dapot]

	This is tangential to the UrQ site but of interest anyway maybe.

	I was at Sebring over the weekend and went to the Audi display tent.
	Only 3 cars, an R8 Diesel Le Mans Car, a 'customer spec' R8(road-going type)
	presumably for the GT category and..... a 1984 Red, with white wheels, Sport
	Quattro. So maybe Audi does remember the 'one that brought them there'.
	Asked the stand personnel if they knew whose it was but they were not very
	knowledgeable or helpful. Anyone have any idea?

	Tit bit gleaned directly from an Audi mechanic when asked why the diesels are
	so quiet:
			1.	The turbocharger(s) smooth out the exhaust pulsations.	
			2.	After the turbocharger there is a mandated particulate remover
				so that there is no evidence of the usual diesel exhaust smoke.

	Between the 2 of them the sound is very effectively muffled.

	I have a couple of photos of the Quattro if of any interest.
