[V8] rear power seats.

[Ron Wainwright]

1st off I'd like to say that I can't believe there are
so many foreign members. A belated WELCOME :-)
 I for one would like to see you guys post more. I
have great respect for the care you guy's put into
your V8's. 
 I am very jeliouse for all the great Audi's you guys
get & we don't :-(. Some of us are going to the extent
of putting 6 gangs in our cars....converting Auto's to
Manuals, dropping 4.2's in 5sp's (we didn't get a
manual 4.2 here in the States), ect......
 Some of us are even trying to build DTM power. I'm
guilty ;-)

 & 2nd thats for the great info Ari!
 I for one wasn't awair that the rear seat option was
an option for the (SWB) V8's anywere...never mind the
fatherland.
 Ari, whats your interior color? Have any info on your
car...motor mods? ect??????

 Thanx
Ron
91 V8 5sp built!
