FYI Stunning Prices

The usual good news/bad news. I actually live almost across the street from
Carlsen's Porsche/Audi. Gave them a call today; talked to Marty 'stead of
Linda. Here's the good news: He knows about this Quattro Post group (thanks,
Bob). They will have their own web page "soon". AND IF WE MENTION THIS GROUP
aka the Internet, WE GET 15% OFF! That is  quite a deal. 

Now the bad news. I am trying to find a roof rack for my '89 200QTW. Yakima
doesn't make one (despite that I've already purcha$ed  two separate sets from
them for other cars) and they don't intend to soon. I even have a relative on
the Board of Directors. Big so what. Anycase, Audi racks look bitchin on
wagons, as evidence on the RS2. So, I ASSuMEd that an OEM rack would be
inexpensive. WRONG. The rack; two long "handles" that run the length of the
gutters are $439.15. OUCH! The cool (aka desirable) feature is that they
don't have to be drilled.

More bad news. FYI, my BBS OEM 15x6" wheels that I like but don't love on my
car go for $475.75 EACH. Good Gracious! However, S6 wheels (17x8") are a
relative bargin at $443 each. A6 wheels (15x7) are also $443. I felt like my
dime was running out, otherwise I would've asked pricing on the 16x7" wheels
for the A4 which I think look bitchin. Anybody know?

Sort of good news. They have two Bently manuals for the 200 in stock. $175$;
$150 for internet guys/gals. Don't buy them up yet! (please) I need to get
another paycheck first!

'86 GT Coupe "a car you always look forward to motoring" (but too much body
lean)
'89 200 QUATURBOWAGON- so far a gem though ponyshort and wheel lipless.

PS what does UR Quattro mean? Euro? Sorry for my ignorance
