I've caught myself putting in bids and offers on 12 cylinder Teutonic
beasts sans the 4 rings lately.  Either it's a mid life crisis or the
realization that you only go around once.  I forgot who it was who said
that anyone who is anyone and can, owes it to themselves to own a 12
cylinder once in their existence (I think it was Patrick Bedard from R &
T commenting on the Countach.)  Having worked on and driven my share of
12+ cylinder cars that will never make any rational sense whatsoever, I
am in total agreement with this sentiment.

If you should see 2 low mileage V8Q's, one high mileage V8Q with a new
trannie and a 200TQA in the marketplace with my moniker on them you'll
know I lost my mind or gave in to pure animal lust and am waking up to a
12 jug convertible looking up at me from the driveway every
morning....just thinking out loud.  Man, I suspect I've been poking the
Audi gods (better known as the 300 Spartans) with a sharp stick once too
often since I sent the '84 5KS to Valhalla.
