& amanda - are the 2 audis in your avatar photos yours ? good shout if so. off topic I know, but my own car is a 1988/9 A80Quattro - the engineering is astonishing (& madly robust, virtually made of girders) compared to the later audis I've played with, and yet despite running my quattro for 12 years now, I've never ever seen another like it, and I have been looking. other than this forum of marvellously helpful people, do you know of any other obvious web resources that I can look at to see if mine is either v rare (unlikely) or has been modified with badges etc ? i.e. I have quattro 4WD, an A80 (not coupe) bodyshell (damn tiny boot), 4-ring side decals, sadly underpowered FInj 1781 DZ engine, no power steering, a small painted rubber spoiler on the boot and no badges apart from the small 'quattro' front grille badge and a large QUATTRO badge on the boot lid. Is a fantastic car - daily use for last 12 years & no breakdowns, no replacements (ex front disks/pads 8 yrs ago) but since I haven't seen another am a bit concerned it's been made up from either the parts bin or from other cars!
