<< More on the details as I progress, but
 right now I'm in need of information regarding the cars.  I have some stuff
 that has arrived via our internal organization, but most of all I need a
 copy of Lewandowski's (sp?) Sport quattro book.  I know its out of print and
 hideously expensive, but I still want one.  Does anyone out there have one
 they'd like to sell (not likely) or know someplace I might be able to get
 one?
 
 Thanks, >>

quattro.  If you are interested, I can e-mail you specific details on the car,
