[Vwdiesel] None Diesel, old Audi 100 sighting, I have never seen before

[Patrick Dolan]

I had one too.  A yellow 1971 or '72 100LS if I can remember the year.  I picked it up in Edmonton AB and left it at the airport for a couple of years (you could do that in the genav side in those days - free) to drive while I was in town.  A fantastic - but quirky - car.  Space, handling, comfort, reasonable performance and economy, but most (surprising) of all - dead reliable!
