New Years Greetings to All! I would like to know how many V8s are  
still on the road. I am about to cobble together my '93 and parts  
from the list, still need the plastic lenses all around and various  
parts from the front.

Nationwide has been a great letdown. Instead of fixing my 5 mph  
accident damage, they Totaled my V8 for $4500. "Total" Scam for 6  
weeks. They generated bogus values of $2000. and then $3000. from  
rural dealers that turned out to be fraudulent~ from CCC1, an  
experian company. Then when I went to Audi dealers, who allowed the  
'93 was worth about $5000. or more for my improvements. Nationwide  
then challenged the dealers, saying they had $2 to $3000. evaluations  
and one changed from $5500. to $2500. under the pressure. So, keep up  
the values thru straw sales!

Finally, I bought a '92 Avant A6. Good old German engineering, again,  
places the cabin air intake where our V8s have the drain recess to  
the outside next to the right fender. You guessed it, the water gets  
around the old rubber gasket on the bottom of the air filter tray and  
goes down the 4" airway into the right foot well! Anyone know how to  
reach the rear right side bolt on the filter tray under the  
windshield , so I can apply caulk? ~Happy Happy!
