UR q omen?

[Greg Spark <sparkg@wave.co.nz>]

I'm seriously considering acquiring a UR-quattro (pref MB).

To this end I drove 2 at the weekend. Unfortunately not good test drives
as no open road nearby.

1st was actually Dave Eatons old 85 WR - 115000m. This car has had extensive
rebuild after ending up on its roof down a bank (by owner *after* Dave).

Anyway, on returning to dealer I opened the bonnet to listen to the motor.
After spending a few minutes leaning over the engine bay I stood up and walked
around to turn off engine when *BANG* the top water hose burst spraying hot
coolant everywhere including over my son and his friend standing nearby.

Fortunately they only had very minor burns on face and neck but it could have
been very nasty - especially if any of us had been leaning over the hose
when it went. 

Is this a message from the Audi Gods telling me a URq is not on my future??
