Bend’s annual Pole, Peddle, Paddle is today. They had 800 teams competing last year. Looking at all the skiing, running, biking, sprinting and canoeing involved makes me tired.
I’ve walked out to the mailbox 3 days in a row!!!
The latest update on my new S6 is that it will arrive at the Port of Houston Monday. When I ordered it about 3 months ago it was the last of 5 on the listed production schedule destined for Colorado at the time and the only one that could have the color and options selected.
Last years S6 version had the 5.2L V10 engine based on the Lamborghini V10 and it had more HP at 435, but a narrow peak torque band of 398 lb-ft from 5000 to 6000 RPM. The new V8 twin turbo has 420 HP and is much faster with peak torque of 406 lb-ft from 1400 to 5200 RPM. The 0-60 time is improved from 4.5 sec to 3.7 sec. Imagine the speeding ticket I could get with that! The speed limiter is set at 155, but Audi says it would have a top speed of around 190 without the limiter. If I got a speeding ticket for 190 MPH do you think they would let me frame it for after I got out of jail?
