RE: quattro cabrio

["Tom Saltino" <saltinot@mindspring.com>]

MTM of Austria built a one off quattro cabrio.  A better description would
be S2 cabriolet.  RS2 front end, K27, Porsche Brakes, full MTM 20 valve
modifications etc.  I think it was around 380hp.

Well, the Cabriolet is just as ugly from underneath as the Treser was
from the top.  No, there is no quattro version - it can't be done
because of the extra stiffening.

We usually refer to the Cabriolet as "the boat" and suggest that buying
one was definitive proof that the late lamented Princess of Wales
was as thick as a board.  If further proof is necessary, look at the
men she picked.
