Anyone else got the "365 CARS" 1996 calendar?
... I was just leaving my office for the night and realized that I forgot
to remove 11 January (a sweet looking red 1971 Ferrari 365GTB4 Daytona),
and was quite surprised to find that 12 January is a pair of 1988 Audi
5000s (one Quattro)! The caption read:
"Audi's fortunes reached a peak with the introduction of its 5000-series
in 1984. Mid-decade, the sleek, sophisticated, five-cylinder cars were
beset by reliability problems and unfounded reports of freak acceleration
incidents. By the time the four-wheel-drive Quattro arrived Audi sales
had plunged."
Have a good weekend all!
