Re: Interesting item on eBay web site item#250257432: 1983 Callaway Turbo Scirocco

[Mike VanAmburgh <vwvr6r@fiber.net>]

OK, I can't take it any more!  WTF is a UrQuattro?  I know it's an all
wheel drive Audi, but is it sedan or coupe?  I keep seeing this car
mentioned, but still don't know WTF it is.  :-)  Help me...heh!
