[urq] Didn't know if you all might be familiar with this

[KAMMLER1 at aol.com]

How much was the seller asking for the car? It looks so nice that I  doubt it 
will reach his (probably sky-high) reserve.

Have you gone and looked at the car? Actually, I  did go and look at the car 
yesterday- It is AMAZING- and it has definitely NOT  been repainted. The Ring 
colors are correct.(Well, not sure what your definition  of "correct" is- but 
if there is a question whether the car came like that from  the Factory- it 
did- so if that makes it not "correct" then you're "correct" but  assuming 
whatever the factory produced was "correct" then this car and  combination is 
"correct")  He showed me photos of the car that the selling  dealer used for a 
brochure they did of the car on the showroom floor before the  car was even 
delivered and the Rings were black. He also showed me a photo  journal of various 
other UR's in RED all with the Black Rings/Stripes- and I  would have to agree 
with him that it would seem odd that so many folks would  have removed the 
"correct" silver as you state and go through all the trouble to  have black 
stripes put on along with the Black Rings- Just doesn't make sense-  He even had an 
official photograph from AUDI showing black rings/stripes on a  red car- so 
not sure where your information is coming from but I hope being part  of this 
forum we would all be more cautious about comments before all research  has been 
done.  As for the front end road rash comment- again speculation  on your 
part I believe- it appears the car has always worn a two piece front bra  which 
was also there with the car- if anything you can see a very slight sign of  
that on the hood that I think could most likely be polished out without much  
trouble.  If I had the cash available, I would buy this car in a minute- It  is 
beautiful- I've seen nicer cars that have undergone incredible restorations  
and look incredible with Euro bumpers and lights and other modifications, but  
not original like this one- so don't be a hater until you go out and see it  
first- come on- it's only fair- you wouldn't want people trashing your car with  
false assumptions and "facts" now would you?  Email the guy and ask him for  
a copy of the photos he showed me of all the red UR's with black to start- and 
 then go look at the car before making judgements!  Cheers! Erik
