Greeting from NH
Hello everyone!
I just joined the Audi forum and thought I would give you a bit of infomation.
I currently own two Audis, a Buick and Dodge pickup. The Audis are a 1988 Quattro 90 5-speed and a 1989 Quattro 200 Turbo 5-speed. The Buick is a Park Ave and the Dodge a Ram 1500.
I have been involved with automobiles for long time. Drove a stock car in the 60's, raced Datsuns and Alfa's at Watkins Glen in the 70's and am currently involved with NASCAR at a local short track.
My son (26 years old) was a customer service person for Porche/Audi. He got me interested in Audis.
The Audi 200 is used for transportation to work each day and has about 260,000 miles on it. I drive about 100 miles a day so the milage will continue to add up fast. It is a fantastic car and very comfortable. The 90 is somewhat of a garage queen. My son and I used it as a projet car and it is almost ready to go. If I had a problem with the Buick (the 200 would never have a problem [:@]) I could have it on the road in just a few hours.

RE: Greeting from NH
Welcome to the forums. Hope you like it here. How are you currently involved with NASCAR? How long have you had the 200? Have you put the bulk of those miles on it yourself? You must know those engines inside and out. Which one do you like better?

RE: Greeting from NH
I purchased the 200 from a friend a few months ago. He is a maticulous (**** compulsive) aircraft mechanic so the car is almost perfect.
I work in the tower as an official at a local NASCAR short track. The race director makes the official on-track calls but I make about 50% of them. It's great to have a bunch of influence and little responsibility!
