Hi Dr61: I spoke with Audi and ESI in Southern California a few weeks ago as they have some available but timing is going to be rough for a while. I am currently in a prototype I was supposed to be driving to NY and back on an unpublished drive in preps for a super drive in June. This job consisted of almost 900 man-hours of work and was canceled on Wednesday. I am scrambling for another review vehicle until I fly to NY on the 22nd. Possibly after the NYIAS I have another test drive of a unique vehicle for almost a month that is scheduled to arrive in Houston sometime next week. Sometime this spring or summer I will try and fit one in. Just really jammed up with the 4 + months of work being canceled last week and I am trying to recover the best I can. Wayne
Sorry you lost that long prep time and opportunity to publish. I hope you can salvage some of the information for use in other ways.
