More on my v8

[Lawrence C Katzenstein <Lawrence.C.Katzenstein-1@tc.umn.edu>]

Hi,
   More news! It turns out that the Audi mechanic discovered that 
the last person who put the timing belt on 11,000 miles ago didn't tighten
the crankshaft well enough. In fact, it was so loose that the Audi
mechanic couldn't believe it lasted this long. Supposedly the other guy
will pay for the repairs, but he hasn't called back in two days. However, 
small claims court in Minnesota goes to $6500 and i have the testimony of
the master mechanic at the Audi dealership so this guy would be a fool not
to pay.
   For those who have expressed interest in the car, I'll let you know
when it's fixed. I still think the V8 is kind of like the old Elvis-
spiffily dressed and functional but overweight. A number of you have
talked me into seeking out a 200TQ.
Best,
Larry
