Mike, I was just considering sending the same message. Some of our list-mates seem to occasionally either: 1) Neglect to edit the original message into shorter form before replying, or: 2) Their emailer attaches it, unbeknownst to them (and they should find out so it IS knownst). But in either case, we can shorten these posts a LOT by editing the replies and only including the most pertinent lines. LET'S DO IT!! YAY!! About autos-only in Audis: > human opens mouth, inserts foot.... > I believe the 5000 turbo, old style body, was only available as an automatic > ? This was 1980 to 1983. Huw, I can't speak for 80-83, but the 1984 5KT I had was - I think - only imported in auto. I know darn well the 1990 200 I'm driving was only available in automatic, and I think that was also true in 1991. Al Powell Voice: 409/845-2807 107 Reed McDonald Bldg.
