Last few.

Note how ugly Audi can build them. The VW bug got a fan from somewhere I know and the last 2 photos??? I have no idea of what they are.

Thanks Jay.

Wish it was easier to give a commentary between pictures. Some people manage to do it but I've not found out how yet.

Cheers,

Great pics JP. It seems you had the place for yourself, hardly any visitors to be seen on the pictures. My little toe is telling me that one of these days you're going to start building a 550 replica, you've been posting too many pictures of those lovely little machines lately Perhaps you can start with this one
I wonder where you got the idea...

Hello Kris,

I went on Wednesday; press day. Not fully public yet.

I would like to think of a 550 replica but something well done with upgrades where an upgrade would make a difference. Like a stroked 2.5 liter type IV VW powerplant with moderate cam, Porsche fan, close ratio gearbos. JRZ coil overs and decent disk brakes. Of well....

Thanks for sharing JP!

I've been there today. A little bit more crowd !
I'll post some pics too.
To post pictures with comments in between, you have to store your pics on another site like www.wistiti.fr where I store mines. Then on Rennlist, you create your post, write your comments, and where you want to see your picture, you use the "insert image" button which appears above the adanced message window. Another window opens. In that window you have to paste the adress you copied from the picture. To get that adress, you go on "wistiti" open the picture you want to post, right click, property, and there, will appear the adress of the picture you can copy to paste in Rennlist.


I hope this helps.

Thanks JP,

I wnated to do just that. Not as IT as you I guess.

Tried the RL "upload photos", the server took them all but never gave them back. So I had to do it again the slow way..

Good weekend.

Hello BJJones,

You serious? Sex on a stick? Must be something I don't know about sticks!

Seriously Stig Blonkwest driving one of these things around an Ice covered Norweigan rally ciruit on studded tyres faster than most men/cars could go on a well surfaced asphsalt track has to be seen to be believed. Well over 600 HP, no ABS, no traction control.........................on sheet ice!

Respect to the car and the driver, even though I have probably spelt his name wrong!

One of my favourite cars of all time.

Just to put it in perspective, my wife thinks that my 911 is a "very strange looking thing" so there is no accounting for taste.

I wonder what your wife thinks of "sex on a stick" .. just teasing. But the Audi... I still think of it as well... ugly!
