When I bought my S4 coupe, I was told that a previous owner was John
Geils of the J. Geils Band. Not as famous as Emma P. but not totally
unknown.

Hi

I remember John Geils of the J. Geils Band!
Several great songs, including "Cali-forni-cating."

When I bought my S4, I was told that a previous owner was Mamma Cass Eliott
of theMammas & Pappas Band. Looking at the condition of the seat, I
believed it! I wish it had been sweet Emma's bottom or should I say
Emma's sweet bottom. Apparantly her outfits helped the Danish leather
clothing industry! Must go now!

Then there's the guy (who wishes to remain
anonymous;-)who wanted to replace a rear hub drive
shaft that was damaged many moons ago, so he went out
and bought two more of the b*ggers from the
classifieds!!

--- In lotuselan@y..., ***@***.***e:

The Crown Prince of Brunei once owned a S4.

But there again when you have 3000 cars it must be hard to
find that little plastic thing.

Paul Newman first went racing in one in 72.

And the late Jim Trueman, Bobby Rahal's Indy car owner, Mid-Ohio owner, RedRoof Inn developer, SCCA FC 1978 champ etc was racing the Elan of Continental Sports Cars in the mid-to late 60's.

Perhaps it is J. Giles
[band]

or
"see what happens when you try to please the relatives when you name your
child!"

Don't know about pleasing relatives but I wanted No.1
son to be Leslie Owen Thomas Ulysses Selby. I lost the
battle on that, so I thought that with a Welsh mother
I'd get away with Thomas Elan Selby (per the Elan
Valley in Wales). That didn't work either.
I've since told him what I wanted to do - he wasn't
impressed. The kids of today, eh?!!:-)
