[V8] Audi strikes again, or I am pleased to provide therapy for all of you who have been V8-ing too lo

[Ed Kellock]

We had many conversations with Roger and I am not the least bit surprised
about his choice.  I believe this car to be a solid example.  And I think I
know a little bit about how Roger thinks and this was a right car at a good
time.  The cosmetics on this one appear to be for the most part flawless.
Mechanically, the low miles present a much more attractive starting point
for the mechanical refurbishment that he will surely give it.  Then, the end
of the road is a long way out of sight.  Starting from a refreshed/revived
62k, this one will go "forever".  It made good sense to me when he began
inquiring about the differences between basically 3.6 and 4.2 cars, as that
is for the most part really the defining difference in the model years.
Owning one of each, there are many times that I choose between them for
reasons that have nothing to do with climate control or green-means-GO
ability.  The only hedging I'd do on that might be to have a slight
preference to 91 and newer since that's when some of the newer features
started to trickle in.  Nevertheless, for the right 1990, even that fades
away.  I believe this was the right V8, regardless of model year, for Roger.
