sigh......

this from the person who tells us not to believe *any* documentation on
the quattro system used in any of audi's race/rally cars because it's
all bullsh*t????

and ignores the extensive 'racecar engineering' article on the a4
quattro which says that the torsen centre was an option.

and we have phil telling us (from personal experience) that the a4's had
no centre diffs at *all* at least in some cases...

more selective memory retention scott, or just selective with the facts
again????
