My new '97 A4 TQ is here!

[Igor Kessel <e6941tb@ix.netcom.com>]

Hello, virtual club!

This morning I received a call from Don Rosen Porsche-Audi, breaking the
news to me. I think I took the quickest shower in my life and within minutes I
and my better half (and the future driver of the said car) were hurrying on a
date with a new family member.

It was sitting on the lot, very new, very Pearl and 100% quattro! All plastered
with white plastic, beautiful!

Those fugly Eagle GA on the pathetic 15" OEM rims do look goofy. Like
pregnant doughnuts. Not for long.
I called MOMO several days ago, whoever told me that nonsence about Arrows not
being made fer Audi was full of excrement. Those wheels and two sets of
225/50/16 SP8000 are being sent to me, as we speak.

The dealer has confirmed that they'll take the OEM Eagles off the car and credit
me for them wholesale. I also asked him to find the way to install a 3-spoke
steering wheel on my car (I'll gladly pay extra), coz for '98 A4 1.8T comes with
this wheel as a stand alone option. He promised to work on this. Maybe I'll get
lucky....

I let the wife do the honors and open the car and start it up.
Jeez, what a sweet piece of hardware! And this intoxicating scent of a new car!
Beats any designer parfum, if you ask me. Excuse my being so excited. The last
time I experienced this was when I bought my last new Lada in 1986. And this is
my first new Audi.

They are also kind enough to hold the car for me on their lot, till I come back
from Britain. By that time the wheels should be here, and the Euro-locks from
Ron's parts too. I will pick it up on the 12th.

Another 20 days of waiting....

Thanks for listening to this non-technical, non-useful childish drivel of mine.

Cheers!
:-)
