Picked up the car Friday. Brought it home to ATL Friday-Saturday; 9 states, ~1000 miles between 1PM Friday and 5PM Saturday. '07, 3.2 S-Line, Lava Gray Pearl Effect, ~9500 on the clock after getting it home. Sirius, Premium Leather, Open Sky, 18" wheels, rear side curtain airbags.

Here we are about to leave its original home:

Test track in the background, beyond the field:

Now contemplating mods and accessories. Oh, and I need to add a line to my sig.

Default Congrats!!

I'm in ATL as well and have just started looking for one of these - I'd love to have an offline conversation with you about it if you're interested. Send me an email (link in my username).

Congrats! Sounds like my car, except for the miles. You'll have tons of fun with it.

Default did you meet Jon Linkov by any chance? He's a mid-atlantic Audi guy from way back and a regular

on the audifans lists. So you did CT-GA? That's a great way to get to know your car. I did San Diego = Greensboro in my UrS4 in about 38 hours total 8*)

Default Jon is the reason I knew about and ultimately purchased this car.

I know him from forums, have hauled him around to dinner a few times when he has been here in ATL doing media appearances, and didn't have a car.

I know his Dad, too. Met him at an Audi event before Petite LeMans several years ago. And then last summer, I went to lunch with him in Bowling Green and then got a personal tour of a chunk of the Corvette Museum, before Roc had to run off to a meeting.
