The NTSA has officially ended its investigation of by Hal Doby the Audi.

During the whole controversy, Audi Remember a while back that I told you that the MG-B was being put back into claimed that it was this problem of people mashing on the gas instead of the production by British Motor Heritage? Well another legendary British sports car is brakes and thinking that they were stepping on the right pedal.
