Default Did anyone see the May issue of Racer Magazine?

Jeff Zwart a 5 time Pikes Peak Hill Climb Champion was asked to write an article for the magazine. They asked him to drive up the Pikes Peak Hillclimb 12.42 mile course in . . .an Audi TT Quattro! Not only that, but he drove his OWN Audi TT Quattro!

Ok, I read the article and Jeff made a few mistakes about the car, like saying it has a twin turbo, that Freeman Thomas designed the Beetle first. But that can be overlooked

He is a friend of Freeman Thomas as well! That is pretty cool. I have posted each page of the article in a different post, makes it easier to download for those with slow connection speeds.

Yes, for those with good eyes, you will notice that he has a 225TTQ with 6 spokes! He also is driving 30+mph up hill in a turn with the hatch OPEN! lol I thought that was pretty funny!

Ok, without further ado . . .

I can't see the trunk open part. I just see a spoiler on the boot. Can I have a hint?

Default That's actually happened to me once or twice, trunk get's ajar for no reason...

I had to stop, open it, and then shut it. Weird. Wonder if the sensor is just a wee bit sensitive or maybe the latch ain't all that latchy.
