[urq] The revolt is on!Martin Pajak martin at quattro.caFri May 16 19:22:21 PDT 2008
Scott, Just sending this to the group because yet again I am trying to make you see that this is not a personal attack against you, just a difference of opinion. Having owned an all original example I can tell you it would pain me, yes me (Craig and Mike can't believe it either), to put on anything but an original part. I appreciate a car that has been taken care of for the last 25 years and is still as good as it was when few years old. We are talking about cars that cost $50k when new. Porsche or any other high profile car maker would not abandon their customers like this. I have nothing against you personally, however statement suggesting that if you look hard enough you can find anything, that's just bull. I have been looking and I can tell you there are plenty of parts that I have yet to find. Collector car prices for parts? Well, we (or at least most of us) want these to be collector cars deep down, but Audi is not making it possible by their actions. For a SQ owner not to be able to get a simple windshield which BTW has been put on millions of 4000 and Euro 80/90? I find that a slap to the face to someone who just spent 100k Euro on their car because they have see it on their commercials and just happen to get it cracked while on the Autobahn. Yes, at least that part is available aftermarket, however if I was paying 100k Euro I would want see the Audi logo on that windshield. Anal, yes, when it comes to UR (which means Original to anyone who still doesn't know), it should be UR, not "it was UR but now it's something else" Peace out. Martin
