I had wanted a quattro, but I know this car is C928 LHK which has long since lurked on the internet. Being a Sport the value should rise equivalent to the quattro, so unlike the Rover I am not trapped with it unable to sell it (except to Skizzer🤣). I am excited to finally scratch that B2 bug (ok the quattro is a B2 but it is something very different) and while it hasn't got the 5 pot, the 4-pot is a much more sensible engine to have. However there are a few annoying things like bits of missing door trim and a respray that may or may not be the right colour I do not know, but fingers crossed. My aim will be to make it look totally OEM again, a lot of these cars are made up to look like cruisers, but I want mine to look like it would be bought by a Scientist, as they were originally aimed at. Probably. Overall now, while I am trying to be very sensible and practical with it, It will hit me when I bring it home I am sure. By that time, as the Passions once brilliantly put, I will be In Love with a German Film Star.

Nowadays, pimps have no imagination; they drive a black 4x4 with huge chrome wheels and tinted windows. The more adventurous will have a floor length, white fur coat and some ostentatious jewelry, but where's the flair? And where are the flares? Back in the '70s, superfly guy was rollin' low in a 2 door Lincoln with hidden headlights, a trunk lid shaped around the spare tire and opera windows in the C pillar. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lincoln-Continental-MkIV-/203706133628?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 That is proper gangster and has evil written all over it.

I would imagine it is ULEZ exempt but either way it may be the cheapest way in to Tatra ownership these days. Definitely would. Obviously, I wouldn't really as I don't have the gonads but if I was braver I would. I've seen videos of Tatra truck racing and those engines not only sound amazing but the clag is epic.
