We're spending a week in a Swiss skiing resort. Missus remarked yesterday that they were so many Audis around (it was rush hour, people coming back from skiing etc), so we counted.

No less than 68 Audis in 10 minutes!

Among these
2 new S8, 1 old one
3 new S6, 3 old ones
4 RS6
3 new S3, 2 old
4 B5 S4, 2 B6 S4
etc etc

Funilly enough, no RS4 in the lot. Haven't seen a B7 RS4 in the 2 weeks in Europe. Seems only Auckland is littered with so many of them.

I felt utterly stupid walking around in my Audi jacket (the one I got with the car, and the only piece of clothing warm enough for the conditions here).

Sounds a bit like China, except they have lots of crapter ones like 2.0 A8's and 1.8 A6's. Saw a few 3.7 A8's, still not too sure what engine that would be.

The 3.7 is a short stroke version of the 4.2 V8

I'd say Economy and I guess also a way of filling the gap between the old 2.8 V6 and the 4.2 V8 back in the day. I don't think they make the 3.7 anymore, there's no real need with the 3.2 V6...

Spotted, very nice looking brown Mk1 GTI at around 6 today, stopped at the Campbell Rd and Wheturangi Rd intersection. Is it one of ours?
