[@GeauxBigGarage]

I love the relationship Ken and Scotto have. Their level of friendship allows for such awesome candid dialogue.

[@gouldnj]

This collaboration truly takes Ken where he deserves to be, from a national treasure here in the US but now with a respected international company with cutting-edge products where he can shine in both rally and team-based road racing in America and Europe. Audi needs a brand ambassador for their younger demographic and Ken can be that. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Ken! Congratulations!!

[@irish3183]

Seeing El Gigante in a Peel P50 wasn't something I expected to see. Just like Ken, the first time I ever saw a rally video with the Quattro I was in love. It spurred on my love for Group B and other rally cars like the Renault R5 Turbo, Renault Alpine A110 and Peugeot 205 T16. Seeing an Ur Quattro in real life would be a dream come true because to me, when someone says "rally car" that's the first thing I think of because it kicked ass and pulled no punches. I have three Lego Quattros and three Hot Wheels Quattros to match.
