I have a battery draining issue to solve, I think it is the voltage regulator. Tell Peggy to keep the Audi in the garage at night

The 1st drive wasn't a long on (yesterday), the front brakes bound up and we had to limp it home. Only got as far as the gas station. This morning I replaced the calipers and master cylinder. Joel and I fired it up and hit the road in the afternoon and we drove the $#!* out of it for about an hour, pulled in and looked it over then out on the road again. We burt about 1/2 tank of fuel and both were very happy with the power. :agree:

Just won a set of very clean 16x7 5 spoke A4 wheels on Ebay (under $200). I will pick them up in Alpharetta tomorrow. They have what looks like new Continental tires. It might put be behind getting them on the bus but I would love to get rid of the sidewall flex of the 14 inch wheel/tire combo. I could always get the wheels and seats in the bus and leave the black car here and have a GL bus for the weekend. :agree:
