[V8] The original 5-speed 4.2 goes down the road!

[diemarthadie@aol.com]

You really won't have a complete collection until you've tracked down that 1 edition of 1994 V8 that may (or may not) have come into the US...
 
Then you can relax and apply for non-profit museum status :)
 
Congrats :)

Just wanted to thank Steve for a GREAT CAR.   
 
This is my 6th V8 and by far the nicest.  The power of the 4.2 with the 5 speed 
is amazing.  After the 250 mile trip back home, it was only approriate to meet 
my wife at HOOTERS to celebrate the new purchase.  I followed her home in her 
new 300C AWD Chrysler (330 HP) and she had a tough time pulling away from me.  
 
I am going to make sure she doesn't pull away and bring the car down to Keith 
and have some exhaust work and the ECU "Chipped"
 
This is the 4th V8 I bought off the list and the third from PA.  All 4 have been 
"sight unseen" and all 4 have been great.  (I think I need a bigger garage)
 
Everyday is a V8 club meeting at my house!!!!
 
 
Thanks for the great V8 list

Well, Bob Blake picked up my Audi V8 4.2 5-speed today and drove it back to
Virginia.  It will now become part of his stable of five Audi V8's!
Driving the car for the last time made me think of it as somewhat of a time
machine.  The car is so smooth, supple and effortless that it was as if this
car just rolled off the factory floor!  And to think, if you subtract out
the cost of the 5-speed conversion and the dual XM/Sirius satellite radio
system, Bob almost got the car for free. :)

You got a good one Bob!  I bet you enjoyed your ride home!
