lol. that's funny. Also maybe you should tell Gage about a URQ rally car just sitting around... Also Gage, check out www.motorgeek.com sometime. I think there are 5 different guys doing SWB converted URQ's. There's a targa newfoundland B3 avant that is a converted to quattro car, an LS powered rs6. Good place to hang out.
I was all alone with the bear hunters and was having a really hard time, I give them credit though, they were trying to intimidate me into letting them through but they were clearly upset when they realized I thought they might try to harm me and then they got really nice really fast. After that they were actually a lot of fun, the seemed more like anti everything though and if the zombie apocolypse happens I'd be all about offering to be camp cook.


I dunno about a URQ sitting around, but there's an S1 replica hanging out in my back yard wishing it could find a new home.

I have everything to swap my coupe gt into a quattro 8v turbo.. Just no time right now.. Thinking about possibly selling my talon and building the coupe.. Only problem is that there isnt any coupes left for parts , and if I wreck it , Im fucked! Tons of talon/ eclipses in the junk yard for body parts... But damn , I would LOVE to have to audi on stage . Just somethin about that car , handles excellen on gravel , and thats in fwd mode..

Well I said they were the hot thing when i entered the sport way back. Got a soft spot for that 5 cylinder growl.
But they handle like pigs. Angry pigs, very fast pigs but still pigs..
Knew some very fast guys who speak the same languages I do and they sorta agreed that the were pigs...

You you may think they handle hex-a-lent but you haven't driven a well balanced car if you thing that... (and remember I only ever drove a car that also has the whole engine sticking out ahead of the front axles, but my engine is maybe 15-16" long being a superior V4 design, not 3 feet on lineline 5 almost leveraging the car onto the front bumper when you back off the throttle...

Sometimes a romance should stay as good dream...

I would only rally an Audi only if everything was being paid for by someone else.

Our hill climb car had 450+ hp yet we regularly lost to a high spec WRX PGT car. The big difference was delivery. He had good differentials. I did eventually find some good diffs for the car but the $10k or so was just not in the budget.

Goddammit Gage that car ain't some fuckin Nascar or ricer. Paint those wheels some nice color like white..Grrrrrrr, growlangry smiley

You go any buy nice wheels and them make them invisible by painting them black.
