Well, my beast is on the cargo ship heading back to the states from Germany and is headed to MI where a buyer bought her. She has 55K miles and should bring him much happy cruising.
Thanks for all of the help, advice and entertainment over the years. I still have a 2001 Audi TT that my wife drives and she is accepting delivery today of our new (to me) Porsche Cayenne Turbo, 2006, 31K miles with two sets of wheels/tires I bought for $39K. Original owner and in my home town. Could not ask for more. Can't wait to see her this weekend as that is when I land back home.
All the best, alles gut.
