Fire up the quattro!

Another companion purchase, this time for the Audi quattro Andy got me last year.  This car is the later short wheelbase version that won the Ivory Coast Rally in 1984.  This is the first model I've bought made by Revell, probably better known for model kits than slot cars.  Size-wise it compares well with the Fly model (although obviously shorter) but disappointingly doesn't have proper four-wheel drive.  It is fun to drive though as it's not as magnetic as the Fly version so does get its end out round the corners.  The dirt effect is also well done.  But it's probably not well matched against the Fly quattro on the track.
