Find of the Day: 2009 Audi R8 6sp…RWD

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="64068"] words: Bill, photos: Jay Dub I love the MK1 R8 especially the V8 model. I know the V10 is the lustful one to get but the V8 will always have a spot in my heart especially with that gated manual. But one thing both the V8 and V10 has is quattro. For years and into the 2nd gen, quattro was always standard until the RWS model was revealed in 2017. Some though looked at other RWD supercars and wished their MK1 R8 were the same. Take this 2009...

Find of the Day: 7K mile 2002 Audi TT ALMS

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="62190"] words: Bill, photos: GeneG via Bring A Trailer The last week or so, a couple of cars have popped up for sale with ridiculously low miles. There is the 2002 Volkswagen GTI 25th Anniversary with eight miles on it that is going on the auction block later this month at Silverstone Auctions and then there's this 2002 Audi TT ALMS with 7k miles. While not so ridiculous as 8 miles, this specimen is quite the find and quite the TT. Only 1000 ...

Find of the Day: 2002 Nimbus Grey Audi TT 225 Roadster

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="61629"] words: Bill, photos: TW Adamek Almost from the moment the MK1 TT burst onto the scene, it gained a cult following. Jeremy Clarkson called the styling deliberately hip and cool but in his usual subtle sarcastic manner. And of course that lead into the usual 'hairdresser' jokes etc. But enthusiasts knew that this Audi was special especially when combined with a 225hp engine, 6 speed manual transmission, quattro, and the ultimate interior:...

Find of the Day: 2001 Audi TT Roadster

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="51317"] words: Bill, photos: Ryan Bellman Yes, I'm not a fan of the MK1 TT and I get abused for it daily but there are a few things that will make me love a MK1 TT: Nimbus Grey, baseball leather seats, Fat Five wheels, a manual...and this one ticks off all the boxes. This TT is a time capsule and I'll let the ad describe why: This is one of the cleanest Audi TTs you'll ever come across. The first Gen TT is getting harder to find and this one is ...

Runnin’ With The Devil: Eddie Van Halen’s Supercharged 2009 R8 (Find of the Day)

  [gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="23986"] words: Bill, photos: Performance Auto Gallery via Bring A Trailer First, I promise that I won't put too many Van Halen song titles in this article or else at least I'll try not to. Second, the MK1 R8 V8 is my favorite modern Audi and I ain't talkin' bout love...it's lust. This particular R8 has an interesting history. It's an early build that was spec'd by someone at Audi of America for a very talented person. The person in question? ...
