I know I've used this before but do you know who Walter Mitty is? He was a meek man with a wildly vivid imagination in the short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. With our Find of the Day, you can imagine yourself as a famous race car driver and you wouldn't be that far from the truth. Here's the ad:

With everyone going ga-ga over the RS 6 Avant (even us with our Audi Club RS 6 Avant Sweepstakes), we may tend to look over Avants of the past. Now while this may not be a twin turbo monster nor as a desirable color as Nogaro Blue but this B7 has something the RS 6 Avant doesn't...a manual transmission. Here's the ad:

Goodwood, Gotland, Viper, Kyalami, Sonoma...these are some of the greens Audi offers but there's one green that I haven't run across until today: Micromata Green. I gotta say, I love it and it being on an R8 V10 plus Spyder is just icing on the cake. Claimed as the only Micromata Green R8 V10 plus Spyder in the US, it will definitely make you look twice.

Growing up, I never did look at an Audi 4000 with starry eyes or even any eyes. It wasn't until much (much) later that I began to appreciate them. Maybe because up until that point, I had not driven one and was pretty ignorant about other Audi models outside of the Sport quattro or the 90 Coupe quattro my friend had in college. Joining Audi/Volkswagen forums in the late 90s/early 2000s, people were talking...

People will look back at 2020 as the Year of the Pandemic but it could also be called the Year of the Avant. The mighty RS 6 Avant finally landed on NA shores and the A6 allroad made a comeback. So you can say long roof fans are all anog over Avants. That brings us to today's Find of the Day. This 200 Avant may look familiar to some as it was a Bring A Trailer car back in March of this year and...

Well this is new...or rather old. We've featured an Auto Union DKW F89L van before as a Find of the Day but I've never seen a pickup version such as this restored model. This one is in Argentina where apparently its lived its whole life...but you can bring this one home as it's well past the 25-year import law in the States (& 15 year in Canada). Here's the ad:

Several months ago, I posted a C5 RS 6 Avant and that one was in Canada...and so is this one. A recent import from Japan, this one isn't your average RS 6 Avant (not like any RS 6 is average). Here's the ad:

The Pacific Northwest...I've said this many many times but that region of the country seems to hold all the rust-free specimens from the Audi of yore. We've featured several Find of the Days from there and most are in great condition. Take this one. It's getting harder (and more expensive) to find an Audi Quattro and in my opinion, this one isn't priced out of range. Here's the ad:
It has a clean title. 155...

I help edit quattro Magazine and we just wrapped up Troy's Misano Red Project RS 4 segment in Q4 2020. I've been hungry for an RS 4 for awhile and then this popped up...an identical one to Troy's.

Audi is leaving the DTM series after many years and many wins but no worries...Audi's motorsports future is bright. Still, if you want to relive the past, you can always buy this Abt-Audi TT-R DTM that was driven by Mattias Ekström and others during the 2003 DTM campaign. Ekström, a two-time DTM champion, retired from Audi Sport in 2018. Here he is talking about the best moments in DTM wi...

Normally I wouldn't place a D2 S8 with 161k miles as a Find of the Day but this one is a little different...it has a 6speed manual transmission swap. Does that elevate this S8 just a bit? Here's the ad:
This 2003 Audi S8 is finished in Ming Blue Pearl over white leather and is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission that was installed by a previous owner. Features include ...

While on my daily hunt for a Find of the Day, I ran across this on our Audi Club North America - Classifieds Facebook page. I love finding an Audi that is pretty rare and/or well taken care of and this big sedan is both. I reached out to the owner, Rick, and he was kind enough to send me some photos and a little history on the car. Here's the ad:

There's something about finding older cars in the Pacific Northwest. Most of them are rust-free and most of them are in very good condition. Take this C4 S6 for example...it almost looks brand new and that Europa Blue color is fantastic. Here's the ad:

I love this car. I mean who wouldn't? But my love isn't just towards the design nor the drivetrain...it's that interior. I've seen many Quattros but most have been leather or cloth. This one has a mocha brown cloth interior with Zebra patterned inserts...delicious. Here's the ad:

When you think of Audi in the 80s, a couple of iconic vehicles pop into mind: The Sport quattro and the Quattro (ur-quattro). The Coupe GT was a version that didn't have the fender bulges of its muscular brother nor the turbo...nor the all-wheel drive. Yes, this is a front-wheel drive Audi but this one is a little special - it's a Commemorative Edition. The Commemorative Edition was set apar...

Last week we featured a 17k-mile 2008 Audi RS 4 Sedan as our Find of the Day and that was listed for $74,900. This week, we were pointed to its older, bigger brother - a 2003 Audi RS 6 sedan...with 18,000 miles. Where are all these low mileage RS cars hiding? This one is hiding on Bring A Trailer and here's the ad:

The Cannonball Run is not just legend or a funny movie from the 80s, it's still running to the day. We have a story on the COVID Cannonball Run coming up in our Q4_2020 issue of quattro Magazine. That one involves an Audi S6. This Audi S8 is also a Cannonballer...it held the 2nd fastest record time of 30:43 in 2018. Here's the ad:

The Audi V8 (D1) is one of those vehicles that, while innovative, is mostly forgotten in the US. The 1st car from Audi to use a V8, it was also the 1st Audi to combine quattro with an automatic transmission. The Audi V8 quattro DTM won back-to-back DTM Driver's Title with Hans-Joachim Stuck and Frank Biela in 1990 and 1991. I personally only know one person who owned an Audi V8 but I'm sure there are plenty of ...
