Low audi content (Goodwood FOS + clutch replacement.)
Dear UK (and a possible small minority of KEEN american) listers,
Is anyone going to the Goodwood FOS (ho ho) later this month. I'm going for
all three days and will be camping there somewhere. I'll be flashing my
lights (and probably setting my wipers off a fair few times in the
excitement) furiously at every audi I see over ten years old and as one of
my lights is full of condensation it should be very distinctive!
Secondly, I have just had my clutch replaced (108.5k miles, probably on the
original, which for uk conditions (plenty of stop starting) is not bad?)
together with that actuating fork thingy and some sleeve or other. When they
checked my gearbox they needed to add around 0.5 litre of oil. I would guess
that it is worth checking the level occasionally, if so should it be as full
as possible? There is a marked reduction in noise when cruising at speed
since this was done.
Thirdly, I am not significantly lacking in the intelligence dept. (1 degree
already and another three months off completion for those interested (always
assuming that possession of a degree is any measure of intelligence in the
first place (my network link is poised for the response to that one!))) but
what do the following stand for. I have managed to sort most of the
acronyms, etc, out (not easy when you are used to audi 80's, 90's 100's and
200's) but still a few elude me. TIA (thanks in advance?). Bearing in mind
the recent post on bombs, it is a strangely liberating experience, admitting
ones ignorance, just thought you'd like to know.

P.S.
Sean Ford has put more miles on his 100cs in the last three months than the
previous owner put on in an average year, assuming the 100cs 21k is the one
referred to in the post, see, I didn't get a degree for nothing. Here's one
for you, GWF!
BTDT? (the one really foxing me, hope its not too obvious.)
BCNU?
C&D?
imho - in my honest opinion?
btw - by the way?
hth - hope that helps?
bw - band width?
