[Michael Williams <daserde@ucla.edu>]

ok guys this will piss you off....but dont get too mad...i jsut felt like 
sending it out to some people who know better than i do about this stuff 
so that you could help me.  This is a letter that that friend, Ross, sent 
to my other friend...anyway...Ross is that really stubborn one and 
apparently he dislikes Audi as seen in this letter.  So if you guys can 
help me out here i would appreciate it...thanks



>The reason only Audi was the only German contender at Paris Dakar was that

>1. Mercedes (traditionally and continually)

>My list for the top Deutscher marques for Performance (also, in reference

>1. Porsche (no contest)
>2. BMW (maybe not as good, but handles like a Porsche)
>3. Mercedes (geared more for a luxurious ride than for speed and handling,

>4. Audi (sorry, 1.8 turbos aren't shit compared to a normally asperated
