[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="49345"] words: Bill, photos: David Auster Until recently, I was looking for a B8.5 S4 and while there were plenty out there, I was looking for something special...different. George and I were scouring sites when he spotted something he hadn't seen in years and me never; a 2015 Nogaro Blue special edition S4.

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="49272"] words: Bill I knew as we were inviting the Episode 7 guests that it would be a very entertaining episode...I just didn't know that I would have a breakdown midway through it.

find of the day: 2014 Audi allroad Prestige

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="49058"] words: Bill, photos: @thekidhodges There are a few cars that will make me genuinely say 'Wow' and when I came across this allroad on our classified page, that word slipped out. I'm currently looking for a new-to-me Audi and while this one is so very tempting, my wife doesn't want another long roof especially another red long roof. But there's a trick here...it's a wrap over Phantom Black Pearl. [gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full"...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48590"] words: Bill, photos: dog2bert There are a few things about Audi that I really love: the Avant and Nogaro Blue are just a couple.

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48557"] words: Bill Episode 6 was different. We've pitted chapters against chapters but this time, we went head to head with Team Volkswagen. Specifically Megan Closset (it's not pronounced like closet...think French), product manager of the Golf line and uber-enthusiast; Sean Maynard, marketing specialist at VWoA and builder of VWs I want, and finally returning guest, Jamie Orr, world traveller and also builder of VWs I want...there's a theme ru...

find of the day: 1996 Audi S2 Coupe

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48380"] words: Bill, photos: Etienne Maranda Sigh. A nice S2 Coupe or Avant does things to me and this one probably makes it worse. Worse as in it's not located in Europe but right across the border in Canada. Of course, it's a year away from being legal in the States but there are probably a couple of Audi Club Eastern or Western Canada members who can stash it for me... Anyway, I had the misfortune of running across this on our Facebook Audi Cl...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48279"] words: Bill, photos: Audi Sylvania When we were raffling an RS 3 with Audi exclusive paint thrown in, the color most people said they wanted was Merlin Purple...and it was also the color most people said they didn't want. It's a love-it or hate-it color. I happen to love it but didn't think I would see it on an Audi SUV until today. While scouring Facebook looking for a find of the day for our Throwdown tonight, I ran across this from a p...

find of the day: 1997 RUF CTR 2 Sport…Wait What?

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48191"] words: Bill, photos: RM Sotheby's OK...I can already hear the question being asked: Why the heck is Audi Club North America featuring a RUF as a find of the day? It's not a bad question...I asked the same when it was sent to me. We've featured vehicles that were powered by Audi engines but clearly this isn't one. So why? A couple of reasons why: It's a cool car (but that's not enough) It ran Pike's Peak (also cool but...) It sports stick...

find of the day: 2004 Audi RS 6 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48150"] words: Bill, photos: Craigslist The C8 RS 6 Avant is coming but this one is already here. Ok, it's a C5 and it's in Canada but our Canadian members may want to grab this. The OG RS 6 was only offered in the North American market as a sedan but we being us, we wanted the Avant. Since Canada has the 15 year import rule as opposed to the US 25 year rule, don't be surprised to see more and more of these show up on the other side of the border...

I figured we would get some hilarious Audi that really defined the word Beater but I was wrong. Will Barber, Audi e-commerce guru and all around good guy, pulled this almost-pristine Highland Green 2002 Audi allroad out of his hat. As you can see, this ain't no beater.
