[urq] Classic Car Club urq feature on HDTHR TV

[quattrodude at comcast.net]

hey just re-read my email, I wanted to let peeps know that all i was saying is anything can be expensive...not bashing KAMMLER in anyway or the program... 



Sorry if people thought that's how i was portraying it, not my intention at all..just saying more of a comparison and cost of inflation right? 

Bomb 3years ago i could get for $75...now same part looks like about $120 (Yeah I think I need another one)... 



Actually I think a lot of the parts you can find pretty cheap...(if at all) 



Again sorry...JP

I don't disagree that things are not cheap, but come on, I think any car is expensive to fix in this day and age! 

If your navi pukes in your car what that $2K??? AC is prob $3-800 pending on what it is, and lets not get started about eco friendly batteries! 



Anyway, I think more the point is...What is the problem, I think my problems/costs would be A LOT cheaper if I knew the exact fix the first time around and not spending hours and hours or needing shop time to figure out sometimes very basic things/fixes. 



With that note - at least for Oregon people, I called up DMV, we can now register our vehicles at "Special Interest cars" - woot no more DEQ and fees! and a permanant license plate. Also check with your insurance about how much cheaper it will be to insure depending on your usage, I'm now only paying $106 every 6 months for full coverage! (but there are restrictions of course). 



Cheers for now

There I am eating lunch watching an episode of the British series "Classic   
Car Club" on the HDTHR (HD Theater) channel of my Time/Warner cable   
DVR.......... and what is featured?? A gorgeous white 10V WR urquattro! 
  
It was profiled in the shows "cheap-to-buy-classic" section that has  also 
featured other cars like the 928 Porsche, etc.. The show info is wrong, so  a 
keyword like "quattro" might not pick it up in a search. 
  
Although it is great to see such a twin to my old car on screen, of course   
it felt like someone twisting a knife in my chest.......... ;-) 
  
When the host got to the point of explaining how any problem in an old urq   
would quickly lead to financial collapse and a river of tears, I let out a loud 
 "Amen, brother!" lol 
  
Anyway, look for the program and its sister shows, "Wheeler Dealers" and   
"Auto Trader". They all remind me of a TV version of the UK magazine "Classic  & 
Sportscar".
