[V8] 4.2 litre V8....not interested?

[Roger M. Woodbury]

Well....not interested is a bit strong.

What has happened is that since I have been driving the 20-Valve Avant, I
have found that the basic utility of the car, coupled with its enormous
performance (compared to my 89 200Avant), fits my needs exactly.  Thus,
while I can feel the thought of a beautiful V8 Quattro plucking at my heart
strings, the reality is that the Avant is a better vehicle for me at this
point.

If you recall my original musings when I sold my '93 V8, the issue was that
the vast majority of the time I needed to be either in a pickup truck, or
perhaps a station wagon, which is why the 20-Valve was bought to begin with.


The Avant is a success, and although so was the V8, the V8 is a lousy car to
carry ten bags of fertilizer in, or an office chair, for example....
