Anyone else have one of these? I'm not a slot car enthusiast, but couldn't pass this one up. I<br>The manufacturer is Ninco (made in Spain) and it is about 5" long. The have another color scheme (yellow/black, I think) on their website.<br>

Although it has quattro logos on the car, it is a unique RWD model of the A4. It looks like some kind of unlubricated open rear differential, since gears are plainly visible. It also appears to have mid-mounted electric motor, mounted very low for a low center of gravity. It takes its power from the road surface with a simple dual contact system. It has that "on rails" steering feeling, but I hear things can get really loose feeling if corners are taken a little too fast!
It has the IMPROVED Audi Advantage service and warranty plan...where the "hand of God" reaches down and gently places you back on the road surface in the rare instance of a loss of traction event occurs.<p>Kirk (:o)

...when you are put back on the road, there is no body damage. Well, sometimes you may find that the passenger cabin has popped off the frame, but the "hand of God" takes care of that too! Let's see, he also removes cat hairs from the driveline! :-)<p>Charles<br>

1:18 scale A4 touring car by UT model is the best. It's the best I've seen of all model cars.<br>These are die-cast models that only come in Silver color with decals. The hood and two doors can be opened. It has full engine, interior and decal detail. Extremely accurate! It has a 5-point seat-belt on a Recaro seat, plus shifting-lever, brake and suspension adjustment lever, fire extinguisher, roll-cage and much more! Priced at around $50. The 1:18 UT cars can be purchased at EWA Cars http://www.ewacars.com/ or<br>Replicarz http://www.mailordercentral.com/replicarz/<p> I've just finished a FAQ for A4 scale models. It should be up on A4.org anytime. If you can't wait, let me know and I'll e-mail my FAQ and pix to you first.<p>Kevin C.<br>Silver 1.8TQM<br>Vancouver A4 Club
