Greeting , new to the list from SA.

Greetings Audi Fans,
 
I'd like to start by introducing myself, my name is Richard Gann and I'm 
from South Africa and am currently living in Boulder Colorado.
 
On arriving in this fair country I was a little disappointed, while 
browsing through car magazines, to see the adverts bragging about cup 
holders and power brakes rather than 0-100 km\h times and handling
as is done in South Africa. After all this is the land of the Automobile!
But like many things in the U.S. ,there out there, you just have to find 
them and so I stumbled on this news group.
 
South Africans love cars or so it seems, we have Mercedes Benz, VW/Audi,
Toyota, Ford, and Nissan\Fiat plants that assemble cars and do R@D to 
adapt cars to local conditions. In fact there was talk of all right hand 
drive cars being produced there. We also love to drive fast and have one 
of the highest auto fatality rates in the world! For example on Easter 
weekends in the past it's not uncommon for 250 people to die in road 
accidents and when I talk about roads I mean highways comparable with 
German Autobahns,although we do have a speed limit (75mph).
This is a country that needs Audi's safety!
 
Well enough of my ramblings and I post some interesting questions 
separately. 
 
Regards
Richard Gann
