Nice Audi.

 

Speaking of Audi, is anyone here old enough to remember when Audi had issues in the 80s about the accelerator sticking and people were dying in them? I know its not like that anymore, but everytime I see one, thats what runs through my mind.

Ha ha, thanks for that thought eleven. I remember them being rust buckets in the 70s but no horrors like that. Was that a US thing because of adding auto and cruise?

My memories of the 80s quattro was rallying domination :thumbsup:

Yeah I think it did have something to do with the cruise control.

 

I think the model was like 3000 or 4000? Maybe I'm wrong but this did happen and it burned into my memory as a kid.
