owdlvr - Dave H. - My Audi's
Alright, so I don't have photos of every Audi I've had ownership of (or the couple of parts cars that were questionably 'owned')...but here we go.
My first Audi, bought seven years ago was my '89 90 quattro. I'll have to scan some photos of it when I got it, but it soon became the Rally Project which has been a blast in DriveX events, rallyX and track days.
A few years ago (before the cage) I parked the car a good 20ft into the woods, and thus realized the very real need to own a street car in addition to the car used for racing. I bought a '75 VW Beetle to use during the summer months, and had so much fun I didn't take a single photo it. Once the winter came, however, there was a need for something a little warmer...and thus started the experiments with 4000 quattros.
I started my two-car ownership adventure with this beauty, a 1986 Audi 4000 quattro:
AKA "The Roach"
This car looked HOT. Too bad it was a mechanical nightmare. Each week I was chasing something new with this car.
My next 4kq was another '86 nicknamed "The Schnauzer"
This car looked terrible, but it was a mechanical dream. Total cost for 16 months of ownership was less then you pay in a single monthly payment on your car. It went 60,000km's and would regularly haul almost dragging on the ground. The car was four different colours, and almost every panel had a dent in it (or we put a dent in it riding bikes on it).
(for the record RACE is a company owned by a good friend www.racetechnology.ca)
I sold the Schnauzer just before moving out west. Needing a new street car, I bought this '88 90 quattro 8 days before we left for B.C. "The Black Stallion" has been pretty good, but it does have one bad habit...
The only reason I haven't replaced the rad is that the rally car is donating it's rad, when it gets a new one. I also got tired of having a 'rally project' and decided I wanted a Rally Car and Track Toy...so over the last couple of weeks I've been stripping the rally car down for it's full prep:
Not photographed:
2x Audi 4000 non-quattros
2x Audi 5000 quattro Turbos
