Roadmap to Understanding Audi
I've only been a list member for a few months and my '89 200 is my first
Audi so there are many Audi references that I don't understand - such as
UFO, for instance. Also, I don't understand the fundamental differences
between the many models and engines offered. How are the S-series
different from the 100, 200, 80, 90, etc cars? I looked in the Quattro
archives and noted that Alasdair Mackintosh proposed a FAQ and provided
a format that looked in part like this:
