TTq apparently now on sale in US




I thought the q version wasn't to be around until later in the year (maybe 
later is now?) but riding around in the golf cart at Peterson Audi/VW (and 
Lexus/Toyota/BMW/Kia/Jeep/Eagle) here in Boise while looking for the '95 A6 
avant I'm supposed to be checking on for a friend (and still haven't got 
any hints on things to look at, by the way) there were a gray and blue TT, 
still partially cocooned. Complementing the seemingly-display-only black 
fwd one parked up on the showroom patio, I thought, but then saw the little 
"quattro" badges. The salesman/golf-cart-pilot said he didn't even know 
they were back there, just laughed when I asked about test drives.

The avant was nowhere to be found, having been sent out for detailing after 
undergoing the inspections necessary for Audi Assured status. I will 
definitely call ahead to ensure that it is there, not just "should be 
around" before the next time, possibly Thursday.

Took the opportunity to attempt to order a headliner for my GTI, having 
heard elsewhere that they were NLA - but using some odd computer system 
called ETKA (no really, that's what it said on the function-key overlay 
temaplate :) the dealer parts person checked for a good part number and 
placed the order, we'll see what happens in a week.
