They just keep following me home.

I just can't stop. It's affecting my whole life...my marriage, my job, my sleep, and even my relationship with the neighbors. They all just smile politely and wave whenever the tow truck dumps another one in my driveway.

Today's score is a non-running 1996 A4 2.8 12V 5-speed fwd. It's not throwing any codes. TB is intact, engine isn't seized, coolant reservoir is empty, but it just won't turn over. It's been awhile since I've had the joy of digging into a starting system. Too bad I have to take half the fvcking car apart to get to the starter...

He usually pops up around this time. I wish he would just give up altogether.

No, it doesn't, but if Dave acquires just enough Audis, they may rename Salt Lake City and call it Ingolstadt. ;-)

you've got an inside parking spot for MY A4 again", says the wife.

I keep meaning to call you and come pick up my timing belt tools every weekend, but I just can't stay ahead of the to-do lists. If I don't make it today, it will likely be April before my next chance. Let me know if you need to hang on to them a bit longer than that.

Nice find! Let me know if you find any cheap B5 quattros you don't want to buy. ;)

I'm happy to store them indefinitely...

Yours are safely hanging on the wall of my garage. I'd sure meet you for lunch someday and return them.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.audiworld.com/a6100/msgs/90253.phtml">http://forums.audiworld.com/a6100/msgs/90253.phtml</a</li></ul>
