I was talking about what you mentioned - the S4. Actually, the one they started as the 200 Quattro - the one with the flared fenders and those obcene inverted rotor breaks. The irony was, it got totalled (and us almost killed) just couple of months after we finished paying about $6000 for assorted repairs just to keep it running. A true car from Hell, but quite pleasant when running, my wife loved it.As far as Ronin is concerned, my car of choice there was certainly the black Euro M5.
***I remember seeing a Mazaratti listed in the local paper (the Daily Local News in the late 70's when Dave Barry still worked there) for about $3000 (what's wrong with this picture?). I cut that ad out and taped it to the refrigerator. One of the best short-stories I've ever read.
"For Sale. 1974 Mazaratti Biturbo Sedan. Chocolate brown, birdseye maple with gold accent, tan interior. Immaculate. Needs work."
Yeah, right, Immaculate, needs work. A vicious car with total lack of control, fast and brutal. Fortunately, most of them spent more time in garages being fixed than on the road. Those twin turbos BEFORE the caburators didn't help much in terms of reliability. I don't remember who it was, but it was once called "the best car to give away in a divorce settlement". Yes, one could get them CHEAP.
