Re: Audi S4, HOLY CRAP NUGGETS! *** now Sport Quattro

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

If I had a Sport, I'd be kinda wary of driving it much - the price of 
spares, especially body parts is scary stuff!
Howzabout GBP12,937 for a replacement roof, or GBP7,601 for a front fender, 
GBP3,600 for just a bumper cover! On the mechanical side, a cylinder head 
will set you back a cool GBP27,000 and there'll be no change out of 3,000 
for a set of cams.  And the list goes on!
Wouldn't take much damage to make one of those a writeoff!
