Re: VR6 Cabrio?

["Adam Lindsay" <adam@mindex.com>]

I would just like to state that a VR6 Cabrio seems like a mad phat idea. The
whole idea and concept of driving around a Cabrio that is that fast...wow I
would do, if I had the cash.....

Convertables are so cool....my friend he had a Yellow 325is and he traded it
in for a Black 6cyl Z3...and I just have to say the Z3 gets 10x more
attention even though its not as uniquie as the Yellow 325is.(It was a 325is
with M3 body, prior owner didn't want wife to have M3, but his companies
colors was black and yellow)

All I have to say is AUDI TTS!!!
