Re: V8 Engine and the gathering in Seattle

I think the plate is pretty cool too :) For those of you don't live in 
the Seattle/Tacoma area probably didn't know we had about 16 people get 
together last night at Harts Brewery, near downtown Seattle. It was 
really fun, there are 2 91' 200TQ sedan, a 91' 200TQ wagon, a 90' V8, a 
90' 200TQ, a 92' 100 quattro, a 92' 100 non-quattro(my car), and I think no 
less than 4-5 4000s quattro plus one 81' coupe(this belongs to Robert and 
his wife?) unforturnately they left early so we didn't get a chance to 
see their car. 

I really like those 15 x 7 1/2 one piece mesh style forged BBS wheels on 
those 91' 200TQ! 

Anyway it was a real fun evening, unfortunately no one thought about 
bringing a camera to take some pictures of the group.
