Hi Ned

I went through a similiar driving scenario with my 200Q  in 
the past week ( tons of stuff in the trunk and turbo snarling - good 
doggy - up and down the terrain).  Just as a point of info, what 
mileage were you getting?

And BTW where's the dog humor?  I need MORE humor, I mean
it offsets the Audi unintended anxiety (no recall, no telethon and
no hope for this syndrome).


Woof Woof Woof (Happy New Year to all)
