Shame, it really amazes me how far things have come for better or worse from the time i got my first car an audi80 SE 1978 model, that was as basic as it could get....and do really miss its simplicity.....oh well on and upwards....

PS how come you didn't get whitewash the house to match?

Audi 80!? Funny, my first car was a 72 Audi Fox. Total crap-box, but very fun and I could do most of the work myself, or ask my Dad for help. My brother and I drove the wheels off that car, literally. The rear beam axle fell out on an especially awesome handbrake drift on a snowy street corner.
