Whn I was young I used to go in the Alps to watch the the rallies, when Michelle Mouton was racing Audi Quattros 01:38:41 mine is a very ordinary quattro, and in my case it's spelt "quattro" because only the special racing turbo ones like the ones you saw are spelt 'Quattro" 01:39:38 those Quattros were insane, they were the forerunners of the Mitsubishi turbo 4wd cars that have 500 HP etc 01:40:50 butr Im really a motorcyclist, I only have the Audi because it was the only car I could afford that I was interested in 01:41:15 all other cars just seemed too boring and slow compared to a motorbike 01:44:28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRkyAKApFOw 01:45:38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe0uPHIpQEo 01:46:09 oh yeah! 01:46:52 you know that Audi entered the Quattro in the American muscle car rallies and beat them so often that the Quattro was banned in the USA ?
