Fellow ACFL Members.
What is Happening
Make sure that you have marked April 2nd and plan to participate in the "One Green Lap of the Sunshine State" MPG Rally." We will be starting after breakfast at Audi South Orlando, first cars off at 8:30 AM sharp and finish at the Audi Clearwater for tallying of winners, lunch and the awarding of prizes. There will be numerous classes for different engines and vehicles. Breakfast and registration starting7:00 AM with lunch at the finish, over $1300 in Audi collection certificates to be shared amongst the winning class teams, Trip-Tiks provided by AAA and the list goes on. For the younger participants, the ever popular "Kinder Rally" will also be run giving them an opportunity to test their skills in observation answering questions regarding things that are passed on route. For adults, we will also be running "Who is smarter than a fifth grader" competition. So reserve the date, keep your engine's tuned and tires inflated as registration is open. bob@audiclubfl.org. You need to be a member of the ACNA and driving an Audi with a functioning MMI to participate in the MPG rally. To participate in the Kinder Rally, all one needs to do is have some kids in the back seat strapped in, an Audi and an odometer that works.
Audi Fort Lauderdale recently purchased 100 ACNA memberships and will be shortly forming the Gold Coast Region and along with the new region should be a host of associated Audi centric activities. For those of you in the Miami, Fort Lauderdale Area hopefully this will be the impetus to get some interesting and exciting events going with drives to the Keys, fun runs, tech events etc. Our hats off to the team at Audi Fort Lauderdale for taking the lead. For additional information contact me bob@audiclubfl.org .

Twelve Hours of Sebring
If you have an interest, and you have not already obtained tickets, check with Andy at the AME perhaps a few are still available for the Audi hospitality tent. This should prove to be an exciting event as Audi plans to extend that 3 second victory from the 24 Hours of Daytona. If you have never attended Sebring, the AME experience needs to be on your bucket list. It is the only way to feel that Four Ringed immersion experience. andrew@audimotorsportexperience.com, orhttp://audisportexperience.com/audi-at-sebring/

A few final words.......
January was not the best sales wise, but still a good month for Audi up 2.7% coming off a very strong December and the 61st consecutive month of year to year monthly sales gains. Some months clearly better than others but certainly respectable. What I am unable to understand is while Audi increased sales the other boys from Bavaria seemed to have slipped on some ice perhaps and unfortunately must have hit their heads, According to Ludwig Willisch, President and CEO, BMW of North America who I am sure would be a great guy to sit down and have a warm Leberkäse sandwich and beer with to discuss cars, he is after all a car guy, BMW sales for "January suffered a bit from the strong storms that froze large parts of the country," Now I have been told we are under a global warming alert, rising sea predictions and all sorts of other horrible man made disasters looming in the future. I did not know that the weather was now also significantly different at BMW dealerships compared to Audi dealerships, which would lead to the basis for his explanation for the fall off in sales. The only real explanation I can come up with is an old retail cloths dictum "one does not sell bikinis in Montreal in January" or as it relates to cars, trying to sell predominantly rear wheel drive cars with summer performance tires in the middle of winter. Clearly a question of product offering and mix. BTW the Germans are smart (sometimes), new cars cannot be delivered with summer high performance tires during the winter months. One can only hope the boys in Herndon never come up with the same reason to explain a poor sales performance.
As a final note, according to a Bloomberg article of Feb 10, date lined Munich, BMW has fallen to third place in the world wide sales competition for the three top German brands' January reporting. BMW had been overtaken by Audi. Clearly the Abgas-Affair has not diminished the world wide demand for the brand vise-a-vie BMW.
Welcome to our new ACNA and ACFL members and we look forward to having you join us at some of the above events.

Cheers and Safe Motoring,
