Reply to "Is It Spring Yet?"

@Butcher Boy Dave, can you send me a note with details. I’m so glad yours is finally running better.

It took 5 months to get my Audi tranny sorted out, but it is finally done. Only $4k total but TONS of hassles. It turns out you can’t replace an Audi transmission without Audi permission from Germany. It locks the donor transmission! Insane. You have to satisfy them it’s not stolen — finally done somehow.

WIt my Audi gone, I drove the Speedster a lot more than expected this winter — not exactly daily driver, but much more than I would have normally.

The other huge non-Speedster news is that I built the audiophile system of my dreams. Off topic for sure, but it kept me busy. Vandersteen, Ayre, Aurender, Benchmark (and Samsung Frame to boot). All the fixins. I rebuilt the dresser to be an open back stereo cabinet to hide all the invisible pieces. Getting old has its advantages…
