The Old Buoy's new toy arrived today.  1990 RR Coupe Quattro Turbo in white.



First impressions: Phil has been a fastidious owner and the car is in great shape.  The brakes are a little underwhelming however it's a very nice ride and the S1 bonnet attracts a lot of attention.  It was most frustrating to be thrown the keys only to find that the motorway was clogged and there was little chance to really stretch it's legs.

I'm looking forward to getting to know the car better and picking the brains of some of you long term Quattro Owners as to how it should perform and behave.

I'd appreciate any pointers you guys might throw in our direction.

Skill is, sucessfully tightrope walking across the Niagra Falls.
Intelligence is, having the sense not to do it.

you reckon Jem?

Yes I do, its has around 450hp I think and traction/stability to match. I may be wrong.
Its pretty damn horny, I would rather have it than a mk1 with a 1.8t. No matter how much I also like a good mk1 with a 1.8t ;)
