Driven: Long Distance Running in H&R’s Audi A4 SEMA Car

There’s a dirty little secret about SEMA cars. They’re fantasy for the most part… for the most part impossible. Tires and wheels are impossibly big, suspension impossibly low, trick paint impossible to maintain, and the cost is impossibly high. Of course, this isn’t always the case though, so when we had a chance to log a nearly 1800 mile round trip run to the Audi Club’s Wisconsin headquarters last month in H&R’s B9 Audi A4, we were curious to see just how we’d fare.

Motoring Con Brio! By Giovanni Tomasi

MARIO ANDRETTI WAS QUOTED saying: “Motor racing is like one big family, ultimately, and when you come back to it, that's really what it feels like.” For many of us that participate in High Performance Driving Events, amateur racing, road rallies, and other driving related activities, arriving at an event is like a fun reunion where new family members are welcomed and old ones are relished. What I discovered over the many years of involvement in “spirited motoring” activities is that t...

Route 66 Arizona by Arnie Cares

I WAS GOING TO WRITE about our trip along Historic Route 66, with only passing mention of our 2006 Audi A4 3.2L quattro. Unfortunately, our Audi decided it preferred things the other way around! To start from the beginning, my wife and I talked for years about driving along Route 66 or what’s left of it! Starting in reverse order from the west (the original Route 66 went east to west), it begins at the Santa Monica Pier and heads east for 2,448 miles through eight states including Calif...

Even among Audi enthusiasts, the allroad is somewhat of a cult car. It’s the only car-based vehicle ever to conquer Land Rover’s off-road course, thanks to a unique air su...
