Re: towing with a turbo audi?

In a note dated 3/19/97 you write:

<<Let me get this straight.  You want to buy a TQ and are curious about its
towing capacity.  I have a better idea.  First get off this mailing list.>>

Pretty harsh! I have heard several other listers comment on using quattros
for towing, and every quattro owners manual I have read (I have owned 5
quattros over the past 10 years and they all had manuals...) has referneces
to towing reccomendations re: capacity, hitch mounting etc. As a sailer I
have seen many "german driving machines" (i.e. 911's) tow small sailboats to
regattas and feel one couldn't do better than a tqwagon for such purposes if
one were so inclined. So, should I unbuskribe just 'cause I feel that towing
within manufacturer rated capacity with a quattro is valid???!!! Jeez, I
truly hope not!
