That's too bad.  I kind of got pumped up reading about the MTM tuned S3 in this
months eddition of European Car.  One could knock off quite a few unsuspecting
challengers in that machine.

BTW this is my first post to the list.  I've been posting on the Syncronized list
for a while now, and of course that is how I learned of the quattro list.  It is
great to see how much interest there is in this page.  Based on how many Syncros
were sold, I would say we have a strong group.  Compared to this though, the posts
on the syncro list are just trickling in.  Looking foward to reading more.
