Default Clutch Blew Up at 29k

Is this a notorious problem? I've driven a stick since I was 16 so I'm pretty sure it's not my driving style that blew it up. I've only had the car for 1000 miles (bought it used) so it could have been the previous owner, but it still makes me a tad nervous is they're that prone to faiture.

The dealer is fixing it under warranty, but if it does it again I have a feeling they wouldn't cover it again...

Blame it on the previous owner and forget about it. Not a pervasive problem. Nice sig BTW!

Default OT: No more Focus?

I thought I recognized your handle from focaljet.com and focinw.com (blueboxorg.com domain confirmed it). You should hookup with the local PNW Audiworld nutcases. It's quite an, uh, energetic enthusiast community.

Default Dumped the focus about a year ago...

and picked up an Audi A4 wagon, then traded that in for the S4.

Little bit of a difference. : )

I'll def. be joining up the meets as soon as I get the car back.

Dropped the car off last Thursday and it should be done tomorrow.
