Find of the Day: 2003 Audi S6 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="68956"] words: Bill, photos: Chris Mangold What is it about wagons that have gripped enthusiasts but not the general auto-buying population? Perhaps it's due to very lackluster wagons out there and the stigma of a mom-bus that soured prospective buyers but some companies fought back including Audi. Stuffing V8s into wagons has been around for years but Audi seem to have hit the sweet spot with the C5 S6 Avant. That fabulous 4.2 growl and ta...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="67618"] words: Bill, photo: Autohaus Lancaster You hear about barn finds where someone finds a vehicle in a barn that has been tucked away by the owner who claims to get it running one of these days. Rarely do you find an older vehicle that hasn't seen the light of day for years in good shape but there are always exceptions to the rule. Back in the near past (the Bad Days), there were acres of brand new Audi and Volkswagen TDIs fresh off the bo...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="67293"] words: Bill, photos: ntkmotorcollector via PCarMarket I know, I know...it seems like I have a Nogaro Blue fetish as several of our latest Finds of the Day are Nogaro Blue.

After World War Two, Auto Union (based in Saxony) found itself in East Germany. In 1949, it was reformed in West Germany as Auto Union GmbH. In 1957, Auto Union was under the Daimler-Benz umbrella and then was...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="66446"] words: Bill, photos: Art and Revs The Audi R8 LMP1 was a tough race car to follow but the Audi R10 TDI LPM1 was the car to do it.
