[V8] Pining over another V8....

[Roger Woodbury]

I was close to bidding on that mysterious '94 V8.  It really looked like a
remarkable, and rare example.  

But there are others.  Maybe not with 50,000 miles, but others nonetheless.
As my mother always tells me:  there is ALWAYS another car.

Roger, I think your ship has already set sail (94 v8 that recently sold on 
ebay) I think the only V8 left for you is sitting in the museum over in the 
motherland(i don't think Audi is planing on selling that on of a kind avant 
anytime soon either :P) Al
