Matthias writes about his Type44:
"At first, we had a '84 Golf II Diesel. But then a friend offered a Type44 from his father-in-law in September. He advertised it as "a great car, undestroyable, cared for, little mileage". We said "No, thanks!" without even looking at the car (too expensive fix costs, higher fue consumption, premium fuel and so on...). Then, two months later, he tried again. I started recalculating and searched for infos (technic, common problems, future repairs/costs to be expected through your homepages. I started to like the thought of driving a big car and even a 5cylinder. My first was a '82 Audi 100, my father always drove Audi. And I only found positive things: Cheaper to operate than that small Golf, more quiet, more powerful, more stable and more beautiful!!
|
So, shortly before the friend would have sold it to a dealer, I became the owner!
Here is the data:
5cylinder NF, 02.90, 87.oookm (54000Miles), ABS, tinted windows, sliding roof, trailer hitch, heated rear view mirrors, wheels are 205 on 15", offset 38mm (this required to readjust the Panhard-rod on the rear axle to ensure that the axle is exactly in the middle and the tires would fit), great condition (Garage car - no contact to salt, even if the body probably wouldn't care), it was only driven during summer holidays. I payed 5000DM (around 2400$) for it in late 2000."
Now (October 2001) Matthias also has white turning signals and a black-haired shacking Elvis!
Matthias' newest "extra" is a cool drawing of his 44!

| Arno writes about his Type43:
"I send some pics of the now very rare Type43 Avant 5D GL.
A few sentences about the car: Built in 81; less than 160000km (100000Miles) on the clock, very much cared for and in original condition, not restored or modified.
Best wishes form Austria!"
To speak of this car as being "very rare" is almost an understatement! And to find another one in this great condition should be very hard!

| Thorsten has a lot to tell about his C5 (and some things I don't know how to translate):
"As a real Audi freak I'd like to have my speedy in the WWW, too. Therefore I included a pic. Here a few details:
Audi A6 4.2 quattro, registration date: 01.08.2000; he has the the following:
Navi-Plus with 6x CD changer, Audi-telephone between the front seats, multi functional steering wheel, accoustic parking system, Xenon, solar sunroof, S6 rear view mirrors "retractable" and automatically dimming, inboard rear view mirror automatically dimming.
Sport suspension by Audi, but it has to get deeper (see picture),
|
removeable trailer hitch, leather seats with driver's memory and 2 places in the back, 4xseat heating, 10x18 with 265/35/18 Yokohama (front & back), track broadeners (f & b) custom built to enhance free space and excellent round spinning, Fortex stainless steel last muffler with 90mm (3,5") pipes left and right.
So, all in all a pretty nice vehicle which makes driving a real blast."
"Pretty nice vehicle"? The man seems to have fallen for understatement! ;)

| Perhaps you remember Oliver with the many Audis. Recently he has bought some more and saved them from becoming compact blocks of steel. Here is a tiny overview of his collection:
"I bought this Audi 100 GL5S 04/78 in 1995 with 38.000km (24000miles) from a 100year old. He was the first owner. The car is reseda green metallic, has steel sliding roof, central locking, powersteering, power antenna, power windows, radio Grundig with four speakers, windows in broncecolor (brass colour?) and automatic. I drove it 60.000km (37miles) in one year. Now he rests in my barn, polished and all wearing parts replaced.
The Audi 100 Avant CD 5E 09/79 joined me in 2000 from a 86year old physician. It had 105.000km (65000miles) on the clock. The colour is onyx green metallic. It is equipped with a genuine Audi catalytic converter, automatic and all!!!! extras like cruise control, powersliding roof,power windows, power steering, central locking, air conditioning, headlight cleaning, fog lights, rear fog light, aluminium rims, seat heating in the front, headrests in the back [standard in the front], ski bag, automatic nivelling, power antenna and radio Puebla Stereo CR. It, too, serviced me one summer long and now has 144.000km (89000miles). Only the paint could use some refreshing.
In the middle a view at four beautiful Audis. In the front an Audi 80 LS Type 81 from 1978
in inari silver metallic with 28.000km, on the right my '84 Audi 80 quattro with 136PS KK
engine, on the left my '72 2-door Audi 100 LS and behind them all my Audi 90 from 86, hardly visible."
Save Audis, rent barns! :)
