If the looks are any indication of
the handling I want one (maybe two..... the wife needs some wheels)

Anyone know where I can find a European or Middle Eastern job listing.....

Mmm, I am not sure you'll want that job. Two days ago I've been told (by my
University friend, who now lives in Israel) that a FWD non-turbo A4 1.6L is
about $45k US. Now add the 100% sales tax....
He just sold his Favorit and bought a Charisma. Audi is way outside his reach,
although he's a professional (teaches Mathematics at the University).
