Re: Where are the Audi pros?

Before I studied engineering, I was a tinkering junkie.  Studying the stuff
formally took away much of the interest for several years.

I don't blame an Audi shop for not being in love with the marque.  H*ll,
I'm not either.  I just found it met my requirements better then the rest,
as I suspect it met many of yours.  Why else would we put up with these
things?  My current shop I would recommend to anyone, but it's their
competence, not their love of Audis.
