I guess now we're "Monkey Wrenchers"? Maybe it's me but that makes it seem like we do stuff 1/2 assed....or maybe I'm just pissed because I'm sick and I just spilled coffee on myself.

it's all in the person that's wrenching on the car, particularly in the world of body work.

Maybe, but I'm having flashbacks to the old q-list "Monkey Lads" e-mails.

Default "the B5 S4 had a much more proletarian owner base..."
I guess being an "old school monkey wrencher" beats being a prole... lol. Copy editor to the front page, stat!

Default Countdown to the turbos exploding and Borg Werner stock soaring. 5.... 4... 3... 2...
Hopefully they learned from the B5.

Default Amazing how the S4 has gone from being a competitor to the M3 to competing with the 335i. Isn't that
lowering the bar?

Default well there is a "regular" 3 series, the 335, and the M
we have the A4, S4, RS4.. I guess it makes sense. esp now that the new M is going to have a V8... seems to match up well with the RS4... and the 335 and S4 will both be turbo 6's.

depending on lots of unknown factors though, the B8 S4 could be a darn sweet ride when it comes out...

The RS4 is the M3's direct competitor.

Default So does this mean Lehmann, MTM, Mihnea and Tony (EPL) are "monkey wrenchers"? I suggest we protest
this slap in our collective faces through emails to "abuse@audiworld.com" or whatever it is. The writer of that article needs to make some "edits".
