Mr Lieberman, and Mr Mehta, I have to concede defeat. There will be no running of the Audi V8 Uber-quattro at the Texas event, as I now posess a lump of modern art sculpted by Mother Nature herself, instead of an all-dominating all-wheel drive wonder. Recently, a fire started in the fields next to the Audi due to a severe lightning storm. The flames swept across the fields like the opening lines to "Oklahoma!" and turned the Audi into a Renault Fuego, complete with a fried fringe on top. The carbon fiber hood melted to form a really interesting mold of the now carbonized engine. At least the old Audi Fox GTI survived intact, an even more irreplaceable Teutonic masterpiece. I guess I can't be too despondent, as I have also learned the military will not let me compete, as I will be deploying to the Middle East shortly, where I will spend some much needed time flogging Nissan Urvans, and loathing over Hyundai Trajets. Good luck Sajeev, take video and pictures of the Lincoln of the Apocolypse to share with me, and the Best and Brightest.

I’m curious to see how the melted hood looks. Do I sense a TTAC auction?
Also, best of luck on your deployment, Mike.

Sorry to hear, and good luck in the Middle East.
That picture does remind me of an A6 2.7TT quattro my dad had as his company car. Caught fire at the dealers when it was in for electrical issues. Went back to Ford products (Explorer) as company cars.

What? The fire just melted the excess flab off your still perfectly good race car.
Grab the bondo, JB-Weld and some hammers and get the lead out!
Do not look a fiery gift horse in the mouth.

Best of luck Mike. How about a Nissan Urvan review while you’re over there?

My condolences, but Jonny:

Should we have a Celebrity roast for Mike before he deploys to the sandbox?

It’ll buff out. Trust me.
Give the middle east a big wet al-salaam allekum for us, and best of luck there.

Don’t worry, Mike…I will carry the torch for both of us.
That reminds me, I better inform the B&B of our latest surprise. It’ll put everything we’ve seen so far to shame.

Thanks for your sacrifice, Mike. Good luck and God bless.

Big words Mehta.
But the bottom line is the V8olvo conquers all.
And just wait until you see the new paint job…

LeMons? What is that, a new strip club in Tampa?
