[Vwdiesel] Nice Audi

[Herold, Walter L]

LOL I love it, but it was said in good fun.  When I went home for a visit, some years ago, my nephew (BMW Test Driver) made the comment, when I was thinking about buying one to use while I was there.  I wound up getting an Audi Super 90, and it was one super fun car to drive.  It was during that visit, that I found out what Audi stands for, where the name came from and how it was started

As a former DKW owner, I can tell you, without fear of rational 
contradiction, that DKW actually stands for "Das Kleine Wunsch" -  "The 
Little Miracle".

The only people who referred to Dekes as "German Kiddie Cars" were those 
envious Messerschmidt & Goggomobile & Berkeley & Isetta owners who 
chased DKWs and ate their smoke.

The grille on this fine car carries the 'four circles' logo of the Auto 
Union marque -  that logo appears today on Audis.  Anyone know what four 
car manufacturers those four circles stand for??  Nope Wartburg is not 
one of them, and no fair going to Google.
