Congrats! It's still young! Did you reset the trip odometer at 222,000 to make them match up like that?

Now, if you were driving at 22 mph at 2222 rpm's when that happened I'd have been really impressed.

Ha!

It took a couple of looks before I saw what they'd done on the Audi with the cocktail stick!!!

Right as rain! NO dash cracks, plenty of power.

-Had the pan gasket replaced at 200k, and -since it's such a pain to get that far in, had the crank bearings replaced at the same time.

Looked at the old bearings, and they were still like 20k (not 200k!).

Still pulling strongly. She's up on the lift right now, getting belts, new oil, and a couple of squeaks in the rear suspension looked at. (hopefully just bushings, but always worth a full inspection!)

Love that car... just wish I could find some blue pinstripe to re-cover the seat back inserts.
