Hey Sarge!

My sentiments exactly, BTW nice press in Euro Car Mag. I think we all
were cheering for you (I was standing and applauding) when I read the
article. About time Audi gets some positive press and much deserved
attention in a national mag. Thanks Euro car if you're reading this.
It's actually timely and amusing that you sent your posting. I spent
some "time" selling cars at a F*rd dealership (inbetween jobs). They
were all laughing and calling my audi a "mullet" until we got one of our
famous Wisconsin snowfalls. All of the sudden my Q became a valuable car
for transportation, it was fun to see the Explorer slide around. 

Anyway, there are fancier, faster, bigger, more "exotic" cars on the
market today, but I wholeheartedly agree that the Audi quattro is THE
BEST all around fun-safe-quick-sporty-classy vehicle anywhere !

Later.
