But a bit too uptown and it doesn't quite have that "dude with the tattoos" appeal :-) Out here the ultimate cat's meouw would be an all tricked-out truck with a huge engine, and where you need a ladder to get in. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

But a bit too uptown and it doesn't quite have >that "dude with the tattoos" appeal :-) The rack on top lends a bit of macho flavor, especially if you bungee a bunch of wood and pipe to it. It has an interesting 6-speed automatic tranny, two paralleled 3-speed gear sets, two clutches, no torque converter. It upshifts in 80 milliseconds. > >Out here the ultimate cat's meouw would be an all tricked-out truck with >a huge engine, and where you need a ladder to get in. On Sunday I let The Brat drive it up to a waterfall near Sierraville, a beautiful twisty-turney up-and-down run with no traffic at all. She drives a Jeep Rubicon and was amazed at how low the Audi is... reminds me of my old Austin-Healey Sprite. Only more reliable and a zillion times more power. She liked it. German cars don't feel anything like Jeeps. John |
