Hmmm.... highlights....

1)  Shortly after buying our '87 4kCSQ (about 3 years ago) we had a
nice amount of snow fall in N. Iowa.  I was able to experience
what the Quattro was really capable of doing in a local discount
store parking lot at about 11pm.... YAHOO!!!  It went through
about 8-9 of snow like a dream, and it was mighty fun to take some
quick turns in a wide open parking lot!  SNOW FLYING EVERYWHERE...
Ahhhhh.... there are SOME things I like about winter!  ;)

2.)  Aquiring our '93 S4 -last July.  It took six months for us to
locate one that was NOT black (got a pearl white one w/ ecru
leather).  Anyway, about a month and a half after getting the S4,
I found myself at a stoplight next to a few teenaged punks in what
they thought to be a "hot rod" droF pickup with side pipes etc... 
they kept inching forward and revving the engine until the light
turned green.  I pegged the tach at just about 4 grand and slid my
foot off the clutch pedal... (this was the first time I had done
this, and it REALLY caught me by surprise), the S4 lurched and
began to accelerate like a banshee straight outta hell!  ;)  I was
in second gear almost immediately, and then the boost really hit
and I screamed past the truck so fast the I could hardly keep from
laughing out loud!!  ;)  I found myself at another stoplight a few
miles later right next to them again... but this time they
wouldn't "bite".  ;)  Ohhhhh.... I love the S4!  :) :) :)   It
might get even more fun next spring if put some of Ned's goodies
into it.  ;)

 
Oh yeah... #1 BUMMER.... the day AFTER we got the 4kCSQ, our
neighbor across the street backed into the left rear door!! 
ARRRGH!  (He is a quadriplegic <sp?> that drives a van and just
didn't see our Audi in the street... <sigh>   At least it wasn't a
major CrUnCh, just the door sleeve and some rubber moldings.  :P   

Ok... who's next??  ;)
