What do you know about my technical credentials???


If you have trouble with controlled powerslides, I'm sorry.  That is not my
issue, my powerslides work dandy.  I just don't believe in trailbraking.  I
think it is a remnant from Tennessee moonshine runners and has no place in
running consistent fast laps.

We've been selling these damn things since 1974, and I PERSONALLY find the
newest Torsen/EDS quattros much more controllable in all high speed
situations, regardless of road conditions, than the old open/locked diff
cars.

Maybe I should talk to Audi and Hannu if we can put together a q-lister
course in Lapland next winter and get this thing sorted out once and for
all.

If you want to keep that tone of voice on your msg, let's drop this to
private channel.
