That canvas would look AWESOME in my man cave... can I have one?

 

I am defiantly envious!!! Would love to own an Ur Quattro.

 

I'm sure she would do one. Just look for her on FB. Karen Eddleston.

Your car or mine?

 

I'm sure you could get one for S6 money.

 

That sounds so dirty

 

I don't know. What I paid for this car was way under book value only because the dealer didn't know what he had. So I had to buy it.

Besides, one in the condition your is in is hard to find.

 

A friend of mine accross town just sold his two. One was not as original as mine but great and sorted like a road rally car (some say the one I should have bought) and the other was older, nice and fairly original. One went to Maryland, the other to Germany. I think they were around $15k.

 

Not much URQ action lately though, with the current weather conditions I am tempted to sneak it out for a play. Just have to move too much dead car out of the way to get to it or I believe I would. I did take the dust cover of for a little wheel test fit photo shoot last week though:

They look kind of OE don't they? What do you think? Tires are a re a little tall. These are BRAID Winrace A 17x8 with +45 offset. I used some 20mm spacers on here to make them effectively +25, almost stock. They have winter tires on as they are my wife's A3 winter setup. Hope you don't feel too lead astray by the heading for this post now LOL. Before I played with them on the URQ we had them on a friends S4 for a week as he and another friend were kindly tearing around northern Michigan last week spectating at the Sno*Drift rally with their cars resplendent in BRAID wheels and decals. Maybe you saw them.


We also had a four car team and provided one of the lead cars as well as displaying at all the service areas.:












I also received some more inspiration in the mail from ebay. Not quite the right color but way closer than my black one. Anyone want to buy that BTW?

I also bought all Francois's spare parts after he sold both his URQs earlier this year.

I'll have to go through them and see what I can use. Getting excited about getting the car on the hoist to rebuild the front and rear suspension but first I have to work on our Jeep, Sprinter and race car. PHEW!

 

Pretty sweet! Have you ever thought about posting over at motorgeek.com? Similar site as here but a lot more guys with classics like you. I'm sure they would love to see this car!
