Default You might like this ;)

This was at a local Audi pub meet last night:









Extremely original, especially given it's owned by Kim Collins at QST so the urge to pump up the power must be hard to resist!

Some other lovely stuff there - note the PES supercharged S5 in the foreground! Owned by the chap who's started importing them into the UK.



R8 V8 too

Oh hell yeah, I saw a picture Dave uploaded to his facebook with the sport quattro in the background and just wanted to see more! So that's a genuine one then? The others about are mostly dilynax conversions.
Thanks for sharing Adrian, that's a proper Audi.

Oh yes, it's the real deal Kim reckons he's had it about 15 years or more - makes very few appearances from what I could gather. Used to take it to GTI Intl back in the day

If you get a chance to grab any more pictures, please do. This is simply the coolest Audi in the world, it doesn't get any more special. One of 164 that people own worldwide and 214 made. It does 0-60 in 4.8 seconds which is good today, never mind circa 1983 or whenever it was made. It looks immaculate, it must be worth at least 100k? I'd have this over any Audi, especially today's dreary model range.

The windscreens are more upright on the factory cars.

Didn't know Kim had one of those. Reminds me of the red URQuattro he had blasting up the strip of GTI international in 1989/1990... Made his name there with the times he set

So they are - here's a pic of a converted one from the Dialynx site to show the difference

Surprised at the lack of comments on this thread - call yourself Audi fans. Adrian gives us gold, thread of the month... And he gets less response then he would have on a BMW forum!

Thanks for posting Adrian
