The Project Pad

That's my daughter in the pic

There's a euro show gtg there as well, it's funny because the rarest car there wasn't parked in the "show lot". Owner had a hand written note on the dash that said he was taking offers in the $30's. anyone know who this is? The car had a PA plate on it. Anyway I was very surprised to see it, nice treat.

Seems to have been around in PA for a few years, I've seen pics of it in the Hershey show lot too.

I think there is a for sale thread on vortex for this car.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, the one on the 'tex is from Canada where it was recently imported from Japan and restored; same color though.

The front plate helps ID this one:

I'm pretty sure i would have hopped right in that car from the sun roof, and stolen that car without breaking anything in a matter of minutes.

Thats one of 3 RS2 i've seen around western PA. there's a pearl white one that the CEO of alcoa in pittsburgh drives, this blue one and a black one. the black one has only ever been seen by myself and a few of my friends, i cant get my phone out fast enough to get a picture of it ever because when i see it im driving and it always seems to be passing me going the opposite direction.

Are you serious? I need to keep my eyes peeled!

I just moved to Pittsburgh so hopefully they pop up.

Thats the CEO of alcoa's car. that one is 100% federalized and legal for US roads because it was imported by audi for him specifically. he got the car from audi because alcoa played a major role in providing and testing the materials used to make the space frame chassis in the A8's back in the day. that car has been around here since like 1999 or 2000. also i did some digging on info about the black one, turns out its owned by bob nickel who owned sewickley audi/porsche. bob passed away last january so who owns this car or his whole car collection now is unknown to me. i talked with his business partner's son which is who i bought my USR6 avant from and bob has the car here on the show and shine law somehow. rob told me he was sort of hiding it till 2020 when it could be legal but who could resist to not drive it. when it was on the street he had used a dealer plate on it so that he could get away with driving it. i guess thats one loop hole you could use if you have access to a PA dealer plate. i guess the car used to spend time down at brumos porsche in florida too as bob was good friends with the people at brumos racing. thats about all i know, not sure if its a 100% accurate but it seems right.
