Hi Marc, i bought it four years ago with 57,000mls and it was 23yrs old and like new. Since then i have done 65,000mls and maintained it to the highest possible standard. It has never been taken apart or painted and today it drives as it should, i drive it every day. It is expensive to run but, i have wanted one since i was a teenager and is also my hobby. It is the original 'UR' quattro 5 cylinder turbo.
I have done three holidays around Europe. Sweden,Denmark,Audi museum in Germany,Switzerland,Luxembourg,Belgium and France. This year Austria and Italy. Touch wood it has never broken down and has always started. I love it.

Isn't that a derogatory description of a foreigner or that is what I always thought?

Yes it is. So with that in mind I choose it to lessen the impact that it has on me in a country that I love.. I sometimes found myself bristleing at it so I just turned it into a light hearted joke fo me to use here.

Does not bother me anymore.
