    Do you want us to write the book too?
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    Without Audi’s blessings I would not accept the book as "The Official History"…
    BTW, it’s Audi quattro, not Audi Quattro. See eg. http://www.audi.de/audi/de/de2/unter...ro_rallye.html

    I also would not accept a book that someone did research for on an internet forum. There is no guarantee that the information provided here or on another site will be accurate. Then there's the fact that the photo's we would supply will be copyrighted.

    If I were writing a book i'd contact Mr Holmes or Audi and do it properly.

    This is a pet hate of mine on this forum. People who come and ask questions then have books or websites which are done with other people's work. To add to this there people usually don't add anything to the forum, they just take.........

    He's been on a number of forums asking for info... I appreciate you can often get snippets of info from forums, but the first place to start is normally with the press office or Martin... neither avenue this guy has bothered exploring!

    For some reason official Audi media department isn't very keen on quattro rallying heritage but if Walter Treser or better yet, Roland Gumpert would agree help I cannot imagine better source.

    I would never dream of accusing you of this either. You're a long time valued member of this forum who gives back a lot more than the forum probably gives you

    Audi's identity is diesel now. They don't want to talk about their cars getting dirty in forests and in places like Kenya.....

    They still mention quattro but it's not the basis of their advertising as it used to be.

    I loved this ad back when it was on TV

    And what about ex-rallying journalist and ex-Audi Sport press spokesman Dieter L. (L for Lutz) Scharnagl…?

    I agree. I wouldn't ever do so, unless as a means of making contact with someone — using a forum as a conduit, if you like. Mind you, different people have different standards when it comes to 'research'...
