[V8] This may be too far out even for me....

[Bryan Bassett - CDS]

Hey all,
I still have mine. Had the body redone a couple of years ago and pulled the
roof racks and headlight wipers off. Cleaned it up quite a bit. Currently
has a fuel issue but otherwise pretty nice ride. Very much like the one in
the museum only the imola yellow...
Still have the 20vtqa as well as a 95.5 S6a, 02 S8, 03 RS6... Yeah, it's an
illness.
Cheers,
Bryan
