I'm holding out for the L W12 quattro.

Oh dear. The weekend before last I was sorely tempted by a 1997 Audi A
8, being sold for a mere ten thousand dollars. I drove it. Fine
shape. I called the mechanic I know who owns one.
"On no account touch it with a bargepole. The Audi dealer here is crap
and no one else has a clue how to work on them."
"So what do you do?"
"I do all the work myself."
[long pause in which he did not volunteer to look after my potential
whizzy, all-aluminum, fab car]
So I put my bargepole back where it rests. Maybe Robert and I could go
Dutch on one? Eighteenth century Dutch. I bet we could get an A8 for
the price of a couple of nice black tulips and a South Sea Bubble.
