Well, after having sold my 91 V8 5-Spd about 3 years ago, the itch just wouldn't go away!I wound up buying the wife an immaculate 91 automatic, Pearl/black.The car was purchased by its second owner in 2000, and since then has had $31K in documented service and repairs, most at dealers.Owner didn't want to sell, but for health reasons decided to let it go. He insisted on finding a good home for her, and I guess I met with his approval. Said the only thing he currently noticed wrong was some electrical gremlins. (Shocking surprise! LOL)
Replaced the in switch yesterday (it still had the original), and all is well. Still some niggling things to attend to, as well as to de-funk-afy some previous nonsense, but I'm a purist, and like things the was they should be, so .......
The wife absolutely LOVES her new ride, and can't believe I didn't turn her onto one of these sooner. Her fault, as she refused to drive my 5-speed, and hey, actually I liked it better that way!
On a very sad note, my 92 V8 that I had in storage disappeared! Turned out that there was a dispute at the shop I had it stored at, and somehow someone there had the car scrapped! So, my V8 Avant project just went up in smoke. 
Getting prepared for small claims court!
Now I'm looking to find another 92 V8, so Please let me know if you know of anything.
Keeping the dream alive, the Audi way: AAA Gold Plan, Skinned Knuckles, Unobtanium Parts and an Empty Wallet!
Thanks,GT
