Audi brochures etc.

[Tom Nas <tnas@euronet.nl>]

Hi all,

Some Audi-related remarks and questions:

-I have a spare brochure of the 1995 RS2 Avant (like the one I took on my
US trip), which I'd be willing to let go for what I paid for it: $10.
They're getting rare now- and it's a UK brochure so no problems with Dutch
text. Bought for someone who's no longer interested...

-I've also come across a Press Info kit for the A8 coupe, the one-off
produced for last year's German Auto show. It includes beautiful 3/4 front
and rear colour pics of the car. Anyone who'd like to donate the web space
to display them? I can scan, and send JPEGs.

-I _didn't_ get the complete AudiSport press kit for the '94 season, with
stats 'n' pics of all cars and drivers, because the dumb @#$#$ who was
selling it had decided to go for a walk of the swapmeet himself, and had
left his son in charge, who was clueless when it came to prices.
Apparently, the guy wasn't that interested in selling anything, because he
didn't return for two hours.

-Has anyone recorded the (ESPN?) coverage of the recent Pikes Peak event?

-Has anyone got photos of the AudiFest 97 up on his/her 'web page? Please
send me the URL if you do...

-I've joined the Dutch Audi Club, which caters mostly to older Audis ('60s
and '70s) but has a substantial number of '80s cars in its ranks. Benefits:
cheaper parts, repair secrets, trips to Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. In Dutch
terms, membership of 250 makes this a fairly large club. Nice people, nice
cars.
If there are any interesting items to be found, I'll let y'all know. So
far, they're selling 'Rad der Zeit', the Audi company history book, quite
cheaply ($7), and they should even have some copies in English left. They
also report that Audi's working on a new-and-improved version, so it might
be interesting to wait for a while. I'll also report on any interesting
club events that come up.

Bye,

Tom
