QCUSA Road America Concours 1998<br>at the Osthoff Resort, Elkhart Lake, WI<br>on the manicured lawn!

Nice car!

It was as fast as it looks! Suspension is custom but next on the wish list is the brakes & engine mods. Ooooooh would it be cool to find the money to build a 300hp engine for it! I think I'll go buy a lottery ticket for tonight's drawing! ;)<br>-C.<br>

Hey there Cat, Just wondered what you looked like and was hoping I would be able to catch a glimpse of you from the pics you post, but I guess not! Oh well, such is life. <p>Albert

The full A! body kit doesn't look too terribly overdone in this shot. It helps that red cars are gaudy to begin with, of course. :-)<p>-- David F.<br>1.8TqMS <-- replaced a red BMW<br>E30 325is

I could undertsand a trade for a 328I or M3, but what were you thinking!<p>You lost credibility in my opinion as the older 325 does not even compare to a new A4.<p>Doug Hanson<br>98.5 A4 2.8QSTip etc.

My apoligizes.<p>I am baby sitting my three year old who has tansalitus and been throwing up this evening. My mind is a bit scattered.<p>Interestingly, I won a 98.5 Santorin Blue with Ronal R28s just like the pitcture on the home boy page. My three year old saw it and said "daddy's car." What great taste for a three year old.

Or maybe it's just the reflection off the red jeans I'm wearing or the red chair I'm sitting on!<p>-- David F.<br>1.8TqMS<br>E30 325is

Now I've lost the forum's respect for damn sure!<p>-- David F.<br>1.8TqMS<br>E30 325is

HA! This thread has gotten to be a scream. And speaking of screaming, if a 3-year-old's vomiting on you, stay clear of your keyboard! :-)<p>Anyway, the deal is that I've owned BMWs for years, and I STILL own a 1987 (E30) BMW 325is that is prepped for club racing, but immobile in my garage at the moment :-( <p>I replaced a leased 1995 E36 BMW with my leased 1998 A4 as my daily driver. Even a complete moron would have to admit the Audi is MUCH more appropriate in Colorado winters.<p>Now, I've clarifed all that and hopefully earned back some credibility with my fellow "poster kids.<p>-- David F.<br>1.8TqMS<br>E30 325is<p>P.S. You didn't even ask about my wacky alias username and e-mail address (need an FAQ)!

I spent 7 years with a grey metallic Honda and it bored me to near death! Talk about stealth, I blended in with the concrete so well, people were always cutting me off because they couldn't see me!<br>

Boring, maybe, but also less visible (from painful, personal experience) to the long arm of the you-know-what. Actually, every car I've ever owned has been either:<p>1. Metallic colors: silver (2 cars), gold (1 car), or grey (1 car), or <br>2. Bright Red (3 cars).<p>Speaking of those Hondas, I traded in a red 1988 Honda Prelude Si on a gold 89 (my last Japanese car) JUST TO TRY TO KEEP MY LICENSE FROM BEING SUSPENDED.<p>Obviously, I love red, and was just trolling like the borderline sociopath that I am! :-)<p>-- David F.<br>1.8TqMS<br>E30 325is<p>P.S. BTW, the first purely aesthetic upgrade I've EVER done is clear corners/sides on my A4!

Oh? We aren't talking model Ts here- and current A4 is showing signs of age as well.

Only one ticket also....<p>Steve S.<br>97 2.8QM<p>with:<p>H&R Coilovers<br>Neuspeed anti-sway bars<br>Ronal R-28 17X8.5" wheels<br>Pirelli P7000SS 225/45/17 tires<br>TAP modified throttle body<br>K&N Air filter<br>Brembo Brake Rotors (front only)<br>Rofren Brake Pads (front only)<br>Synthetic Oil (Mobil One)<br>Steel Braided Brake Lines (to be installed)<br>ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid (to be installed)<p>and a bunch of other cosmetic stuff.....<br>

I had to email BigO, who apparently visited Elkhart Lake and maybe saw you in action, to find out the truth on this one as well. Definitely got me to thinkin.....<p>After I saw BigO's painted fingernails, I thought anything was possible.<p>Steve S.<br>97 2.8QM<br>

Purple today, green tomorrow.<p>(Betcha thought California had more nuts than Illinois! NOT!)

Sorry, but I just was trying to keep the subject on the A4! <br>It's kind of embarrassing and I really hate pictures of myself anyway! (The only ones I like were from about a year ago when I was still blonde). I went back to natural/med. brown after spending most of my life as a blonde & I'm not feeling as fun and spunky these days. Although, it is nice not having people assume I'm an airhead because of the color of my hair!<br>This subject is not for this page anyway.<br>Back to the A4s guys! ;)
