Is it the white one?
The white one was at the Mosport DDT this past weekend. They were getting the car sideways around the corners while everybody was cheering. Argh, which I was there to see that!
EDIT: found the link to the picture, yep, I think that was the one there that day.

I kind of wonder about Audi..
I hear ads on the radio about '25 years' of quattro, and have seen ads showing the urq rally cars flying through the air.
We even see that they have the Sprongl's car on display. Clearly an indication that the urq sort of started the 'quattro' product line.
Yet it's the same Audi that seems to delight that when I go in to look for parts for *my* urq, they'll either be not available (some important parts, like front ball joints), or just CRAZY expensive.

Considering that other brands (BMW, MB, Porsche) have heritage divisions that endevour to help keep older cars on the road, it's a bit of a 'slap in the face' that Audi makes a big deal of the '25 years of quattro', then turns around and ignores the same cars that made it a name..

Sweet urq Katman! I agree, Audi seems to be interested in only selling new cars these days...
sometimes I feel like they don't even want to have anything to do with cars that are over 4 years old!

I flew in all the way from Halifax to see it.
I dropped by at 7pm tonight to see your new showroom, Alex. You actually took a night off?
A friend of my had an urQuattro, nice to see one again.
It was also nice to see the new A3 colour: Garnet Red looks great.
