I recently upgraded my 2007 A6 to a 2014 3.0. I have a factory set of roof racks I used just a few time to carry my kayak. They are like new and attach solidly to the roof using out-of-sight holes…Continue

This year's national Audi Club event was held in Austin right before the Six Hours of the Circuit of the Americas. Our members were treated to several days of Texas-sized hospitality, Texas-sized rain, and a memorable race ending it yet another Audi -12 victory in le Mans P1 class. Frank Oliver and Bob Greving sent back pictures and comments from their Texas adventure - more here.
We hope you will join us for our Second Annual Drive to Mount Dora on November 9 - details of the event are in Down the Road, below.
If you're interested in getting together with fellow members we'd like to hear from you, especially if you live in South or Southwest Florida. If you're interested in sharing information about an event or becoming a regional contact for the club, contact walter@audiclubfl.org.

Fellow club members and Audi enthusiasts,
All are cordially invited to our 2nd Annual Fall Drive event. We'll tour the Green Mountain Scenic Byway, stop at the Yalaha Bakery, and finish our tour with lunch at the Bavarian Haus in Mount Dora.
We'd like to run an informal MPG rally as well, especially if we have a few TDI Audis along for the drive - for bragging rights if nothing else. We may have additional details about this before the event.
Date: Sunday November 9, 2014
Start times vary by location - stay tuned for details.
[Tampa group will depart from IKEA Tampa]
Lunch, Bavarian Haus Alexander Street Mt. Dora, noon
There is no cost for this event. (other than what you eat at Yalaha Bakery and the Bavarian Haus)
Please RSVP to walter@audiclubfl.org by noon Friday, November 7 so we can make restaurant reservations.

S3 Manual still on the table for the US
"The fine folks at Fourtitude recently sat down with Audi of America President Scott Keogh, and among other things, learned that the potent little S3 sedan could be offered with a manual transmission in the United States someday. That sort of sounds like the usual company line to us, but Keogh reportedly said the company is "looking very closely" at adding the manual to the S3, which currently is only available with a dual-clutch automatic."

August - worldwide growth for Audi
QuattroWorld reports on the growth of Audi sales not just here in the US, but in China, Europe, and around the world. "At the half-year press conference in Munich, CFO Axel Strotbek stated: 'Despite major challenges, Audi is systematically continuing along its path of high-quality growth.' Audi appeals to customers with its attractive model portfolio. The company therefore expects to deliver significantly more than 1.6 million cars of the brand with the Four Rings this year, once again breaking the prior-year record."

Member Bill Fluhr sends us this epic shot of his odometer right as his 1997 Audi A4 reached 400,000 miles:

Show them that the next time someone tells you Audis aren't durable cars. Some certainly are.
Have a picture of your car or some Audi-related news of your own you'd like to share? Send your photo to Walter Moore walter@audiclubfl.org.

If you have a special Audi such as one of the S or RS models or a pre 2000 that you would like to sell, we will list it once in the newsletter. I will need the year, model, color over interior color, and your email address. Longer and non-member postings can be placed in the website. We will also list DKW, NSU, and Wanderer motorcycles. If you are looking for a particular car, once again S, RS or pre 2000 model plus a bike, we will also try to accommodate you here.
For Example: Wanted: Wanderer or DKW motorcycle of motorbike pre 1950 walter@audiclubfl.org

Final Words..
Welcome to our new ACNA members. Our membership numbers continue to grow; we are now well over 270 members, which mean additional critical mass in different regions of the state and hopefully more events and greater participation. Those of you who are new to the ACNA will receive an on boarding note from David Loppert. If you have any questions feel free to drop a line to David. If you have not had a chance yet check out both the ACNA website, and the Audi Club of Florida website. There is a great deal of good information plus some excellent photos of member’s cars.
