It seems as though I always see the same names here on the list over the past few months. I have learned a great deal about my A8 and Audi in general and find myself yearning for more info...

So, as I was driving home from work today, thinking about the "secret handshake" as many have called it, I was wondering what else, if anything, that we all may have in common. (IE-what else do you do when you are not tinkering with or driving your A8)

Here goes:
36-married
4 kids- two hers/two mine
My Audi: '99 A8
Wife drives: 2002 Tahoe
Work: chef/Caterer
Previous Audi's: 1983 GT Coupe/1998 A6 Avant
For Fun: Ride my HD Road King/Fly Airplanes
Biggest Regret: Not buying an A8 sooner.
