Just came back from AudiExpo in Burien, Washington.   Unlike other times, I
wasn't able to display my car because there are so many what appear to be
dealer cars occupying the entire block.  What was that?  I thought AudiExpo
was for people like me to have a chance to display our cars; never thought
it was an outdoor dealer lot for showing off their cars.

Not sure if that was the reason or not, but there were so few older Audis,
particularly the Type 44 cars that I really like.
I only saw one V8 Quattro, a white 5-spd with big wheels, but that probably
belonged to a vendor or some sort.  It wasn't even displayed where it was
supposed to; it was right next to a vendor shop.

Thinking that old V8Qs are very limited in numbers, and indeed it was, I
drove my wife's automatic V8.  Alas!  I had to park it away from the display
area.   It's not just our car, other Audis were forced to park somewhere
else due to congestion, which I believe was caused by those newer cars.   If
this is any indication of the future of AudiExpo, I see no reason to look
forward to it.
