- I beg to differ. I had an Audi Fox (1974 model) for a couple
- of years, and don't remember having to lif the engine
- to get at the plugs. The only hassle was a pi$$-poor
- carb that was replaced by a Webber unit. This car was
- my first intro to FWD. It was steady as a rock in
- the rain at 70 (compared to my 2002 Ti BMW), it was
- a blast to drive, and reliable as all hell. Put
- on about 60k miles without a problem other than
- the carb.
