Audi Spotter's Guide



Hi all,

I've been gradually improving/expanding my site over the last couple of
weeks (thanks for the many visits), and have been brainstorming about
possible additions. One I'm currently working on is the 'model codes'
section- but I've decided to make it into an Audi Spotter's Guide for
novice and veterans alike. The idea is to make a page for each model with
pictures (three-quarters back and front, see
http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/AudiJunk/othercars.html if you want to have
an idea what this will end up looking like) and a brief description of the
model with years, changes, and a guide to differences between US and
European models. Models covered are early-'70s to present (if there's a
volunteer for the earlier models please let me know).

The reason I'm writing this is that I need your help.
I've been gradually collecting/shooting pics of Audis, but there are a few
missing. I need front and back three-quarter pictures of the following cars:

-Early-'70s US Fox
-Late-'70s Euro 80
-Early-'80s US 4000
-Late-'70s to early-'80s US 5000
-Late-'70s to early-'80s Euro 200 5T
-Late-'70s to early-'80s Euro 100 Avant
-US 5000 wagon (both turbo and non-turbo)
-US S4
-Euro S4
-US S4 Avant
-US A6, both first and second generation
-US A6 Avant, both first and second generation
-US S6 Avant

I'm really choosy, too. The pics have to be taken in broad daylight,
without obstructions in front of the subject, and of (preferably)
undamaged, standard cars without non-OE spoilers, lights, wheels etc and
with doors, hood and trunklid closed. Images need to be at least 800 pixels
wide, and without too much JPEG compression artefacts (high-quality
setting). I'm using brochure pics for some models now, but I'd love to be
able to use pics of actual cars for everything... and of some cars I don't
even have the brochures.

Anyone willing to contribute? You'll get full credit, of course. I'll
notify the list when the section is up and running.

TIA a lot!

Tom

PS Any suggestions for useful additions to my site are always welcome!
