RE: Safe cars

[Ian Rawlings <Ian.Rawlings@UK.Quza.com>]

Audi seem to get ignored all over the place, I've seen countless ads in
the local papers for second hand BMW/Merc dealers, and general car
dealers that stock such cars, but trying to find a dealer that
advertises an Audi in its books is almost impossible..

Despite this, there are so many Audis in this area it's incredible.
They're all over the place. On the way to work each morning, I must
letch at somewhere between 6-10 new/old Audis on a 20-mile journey.

Not many Quattro versions though, so I can safely sneer!
