No Meeting In March!
Annual Formula One Season Preview with Todd McCandless
Tues March 11th
7:00 pm
Designs in Motion, 140 Long Road, Chesterfield
Once again, our friends at Formula One Blog (F1b.com) have scheduled their annual F1 Season Preview on the same day and time as our March membership meeting. To allow interested members to attend this event, the board has voted to postpone our regular membership meeting until April 8th in leiu of our regular April social night.
The 2014 Formula 1 Season is almost here!
Todd McCandless, a.k.a. "Negative Camber" of F1b.com, North America's largest F1 blog, and famous world-wide, will once again give us his updates, skuttlebutt, rumors, and the general low-down on what promises to be a crazy season!
4-cylinder turbos, weird noses, double points, personal changes, new drivers, even Bernie checking out the latest striped fashion trends..., it's all good!
Please come early, around 6:30 is best, meet old friends and get a seat, as we have "table seating" for about 75, but can certainly accommodate more with extra chairs.
Light refreshments will be available. |

Audi Club Current River Float Trip
Saturday May 10th
7:00 am
Leaves from: Steak 'n Shake - 76 S Highway Dr, Valley Park
Celebrate Mothers Day weekend and enjoy a day of canoeing on the beautiful Current River with your Audi friends.
We will leave from Steak 'n Shake at the intersection of I-44 & Hwy 141 promptly at 7:00 AM for a 3-hour drive through Salem to Akers, MO. Our 10 mile float from Akers Ferry to Pulltite will take several hours but should be an easy float due to fast-moving water. The Current River is part of the magnificent Ozark National Scenic Riverways and remains almost as wild and natural as the day Indians lightly trod the Ozark trails.
We have arranged for a special 30% discount rate of $32.20 per canoe for Audi Club members.
Camping is available at National Park Services Pultite Campground, For more information and to reserve your campsite, visit http://www.recreation.gov/campsiteSearch.do. If there is enough interest, we can also drive down together on Friday night. Just let Jerry know if you are planning to camp.

2016 Audi TT Debuts at Geneva
Audi’s third-generation TT is finally here, blending lines from the iconic original with those of the sportier second-generation model. The new car will go on sale in the U.S. early next year, as a 2016 model, initially in TT and TTS trim.
The front of the new TT is dominated by horizontal lines. The single-frame grille is much broader and flatter than that of the previous model, with a single line crossing it. On the TTS, the grille is even more pronounced thanks to a shiny finish for the slats. There are also two large intakes on the TTS that give it an aggressive look similar to that of the outgoing TT RS model.
At the rear, horizontal lines give the car a wide and planted look. An automatic rear spoiler is standard, rising at speeds above (read more)
