Hi Glen,

I 'spect you're right on the second count, and, as I didn't offer the
first claim, I'm in the dark about its accuracy (not knowing...)

BTW, fellow Quattro lovers, a warning:  Do Not, repeat, *NOT*, go to your
friendly news stand and grab a copy of the newest issue of Excellence mag.

If, at your peril, you should ignore the preceding advice, at least cover
your eyes as you rapidly flip past the review of the new 993 Carrera-4
and the remarks by Walter Rohrl (sp?) (necessary umulauts assumed) comparing
and contrasting the C-4 with Quattros!  Sadly, it's too late for me...Alas...

Cheers,
