I've always wanted a coupe quattro, but they didnt really sell them in north america (only a few hundred)

Now that they are older I don't think it will be too difficult to get through customs/inspections/etc. After 15 years of age, canada waives the 5mph bumper, catalyst, etc, bullshit you normally need to import a car.

So? urQ or not?

if the back end was a bit shorter that would look nice...i just think the rear windwos are a bit too elongated...kinda like the 300zx 2+2 but more pronounced

Get one.
Audi Revolutionized the WRC back in 81-82 with this car and other forms of racing later on.
There was also quite a stir caused when Michele Mouton became the only woman to win a WRC event at San Remo in '81. She just missed winning the '82 Driver's Title.

looks cool, but from what I've heard didn't those have electrical problems? I could be wrong though:)

Clicking into this thread I didn't know if you meant the car, the razor or the video card. :)

I've got a few older Audi's, I am now a master at the goofy little problems they have :)

then you're set. Its getting into the scene-knowing what to do and where to get the parts from. Since you know the mechanics, I would say it gets a :thumbsup: in the looks department.
