RE: cameraderie?

Hey Jon, I take exception to that.

I have a 1998 A4 FWD Auto/Tip, but I am not one of those you generalized on.
I have a Neuspeed chip, and plan on doing other mods soon as I can afford
them. And Paul Rivera knows I don't set my car up just for looks, as I will
be going back to autocrossing very soon, July 18th & 19th. And I also can't
wait for some serious REAL track time (Thunderhill and Buttonwillow) soon as
I can afford it too.

Also I try to wave or flash my lights at ANY Audi, but yes, it seems I get
ignored. Sometimes I think it is only me that gets excited to see another
car like mine (A4), sadly. But I will still keep on trying. And every chance
I get I try to tell Audi owners about both the Quattro Club and the A4org.

And as for my credentials, I have raced in SCCA from 1974 till 1987. So I
don't just think of a car as a means to get somewhere. It is a part of me.

So please don't think all A4 owners are not enthusiasts.
