Yes I am a newbie to the form. I have an 04 A8L that is my daily driver when it is to cold or snowy for my motorcycle. Last year I bought a 1989 BMW 325I convertable with a blown engine. I replaced the engine last december in what turned out to be the coldest december ever. Unheated garage. Today I just purchased a 1998 A4 with a bad motor. Why do the really good deals appear in the cold months? I have relied on other forms to help me thru the bad spots with the BMW, the wifes Honda motorcycle, my harley, and other projects in the past. Hope you guys will be as helpful as the other forms I belong to. Thanks in advance, Jetsam
