Default Have you guys seen the book "The Audi File"

"All models since 1888" (hardback 424 pages).

If I was coming to CN I could bring that book and we could talk about cool cars like the 1914 NSU 13/35 (page 90) with a whopping 35 hp 3.3 liter straight 4.

424 pages and the TT is on page 410!! The URquattro is page 310. cool book.

No, not aware of it. Sounds like a must have. I have "A History of Progress", which is pretty thorough, but only like 275 pages.

Default its a misconstrued comment. like the old "wiseguy" and "toughguy" slang of the 20s.

"Oh a wiseguy eh?"

i.e.

"when are you wiseguys gonna learn some Audi history?!?!"

Eelpie you missed my whole "Humor it is a difficult concept" line from Star Trek II.

Default Its a good one. Trivia..

Neat pictures and diagrams of the old cars.
Technical specs like wheelbase, weight, mileage, etc.

Can anyone tell me what was special about DKW's first car built in 1919?

Default According to my references, the first DKW car was built in.......

1925, and went on the market in 1926. So I guess the answer would be either it was a motorcycle or a three wheeler.
