Mechanics in/around Seattle, WA
I've been taking my silver 1988 90 to Motorworks on Bel-Red Rd since I
bought it in March. Dwayne (the owner) has been our family mechanic for
the last 8 or 9 years. He's seen my 2002 and VW's and my parent's
assorted Japanese rides. He's always treated me extremely fair...I
guess I deserve that since he put an addition on his house with the
money I've paid him over the years! No benefit to me for the plug, just
someone I'm satisfied with taking care of my baby. His number is (425)
453-7082.
Regarding a previous thread about some sort of acknowledgement on the
road for the Audi enthusiast...I'm looking for Tim King, Pat Korach and
the other Audi drivers that drive in and around Seattle. I need some
acknowledgement! Flash your lights...do something! Some guy in an RX-7
gave me the "I'm number one" salute after we raced across I-90 to
Seattle. Not my style of acknowledgment, but nice to see that he cared,
unless he was p*ssed that I had more motor than he did.
And to the person that put the digest URL on my windshield over on Queen
Anne, thanks. The list is great! What do you drive? I've looked for
an Audi driver in my neighborhood, but to no avail.
