[urq] Nostalgia

[Louis-Alain Richard]

I'm a relative newcomer, 09/2001, and I do miss the numerous posts of that
period. Now, since it won't get any better in the future, why don't we
regroup 1 or 2 or 3 lists together ? That's what I do by subscribing to a
few of them and for me it is a very good way to learn about my probable next
car before I own it. 

We have covered the Type 44 and 85 issues numerous times, so now it's time
to learn how to replace those O2 sensors on an RS6 !

As for the flame wars, I think I arrived after the "hot" period, but I do
remember the one about the torque wrench extension for the 5 cylinder crank
bolt. That was the first time I was involved in a "live" discussion over the
internet, live because we were many people trying to understand something in
quasi-real time, with only 1 or 2 minutes of delay : I still remember that I
could almost hear some of you thinking in front of their computer. Anyone
remembers the year/date/title ? I've searched the archives a few times, to
no avail.

Huw, at least, if one day this form of internet chatting disappear, we will
be proud of being part of it during its heyday!

Doing its best to keep traffic alive, an urQuattro engine swap is a good way
to raise many questions...

Does anyone else sometimes feel nostalgic for the time when audifans.com 
(coimbra.ans.something.net in those days) got 200 new emails on Monday 
morning, and tailed off to 100 or so by the end of the week?  Back when 
people were coaxing 220 hp out of 5000 turbos, and a few intrepid souls 
struggled to put MC1 or MC2 motors into 4kqs?

Oh, and the flame wars...

Those were the days, my friend.
