    Back in the Audi saddle!

    Hello! Finally found my way back to Audi. It's been probably around 24 years since I last owned one. Had 100s, couple of 200 turbos, 3 GT coupes and an 80. One coupe was a full race 2.4 ABT, once a saloon racer. Been through a few phases like Land Rovers but happy to be back to something...
