Yeah I know it's late. I'm sure you found this somewhere else on the web already. But I wanted it on the blog. Like I said earlier, this blog is for ME! If you happen to like it too, all the better...

Audi RS4 Avant, yet another unicorn in the USA...
It probably isn't a mystery at this point that I am a wagon fan. More room than a coupe, more sporty than an SUV. Maybe not as "cool" as a convertible, but definitely "cooler" than a sedan (in my humble opinion).Throw in a mighty Audi 4.2 liter V8 and you have something that could be considered perfection.
If that is of course 450 hp @ 8,250 RPM in a car that can haul ass and groceries interests you in the least.
The Audi R8 GT - Made for the masses?
The R8 GT. 560 HP of Audi Quattro goodness. A tremendously capable out-of-the-box race car from a brand with a storied motorsports pedigree. So why do I think it's for the masses?
Audi Kundensport
Anyone who says money can't buy happiness, doesn't have enough to buy their own seat in the 24 hours of Nurburgring.
How to entertain 10 of your very best friends...
If I was actually living my fantasy life, my stable would probably look a lot like this.
Walter Röhrl - Vintage S1 goodness...
No one can part a spectator sea like Walter Rohrl. Or maybe it's the distinctive sound pouring out of that turbocharged Audi 5-cylinder that make humans scatter as if you were, well I guess like if you were hurtling a ton and a half of rally perfection at them...
Group B - Still too fast to race
Quite possibly the most comprehensive, intense, all encompassing video on the golden age of rally racing. Excellent sounds, great in-car videos, tremendous commentary by some guy with a British accent.
What more could you ask for?
OK, it's an hour and 16 minutes long, but OH-SO worth it!!!
Winter Driver Safety and Education
In the dog days of summer, sometimes it's hard to think that soon it will be winter again... Are you ready?
2011 24-Hours of Le Mans
With two of their cars already added to the DNF line, Audi Sport’s one remaining machine finished in triumph, taking the checkers in the 79th running of the 24 Heures du Mans. After the two spectacular crashes of Audi’s No.1 and No.3 R18 TDI’s the three man team piloting the No.2, knew there was only one option left; ultimate victory.
And then there was one...
Le Mans. 24 hours of vehicular carnage. 24 hours of human endurance. 24 hours of emotions that range from confidence to hope to excitement to fear to disappointment to joy; sometimes within minutes of each other. Audi's 3 car effort once again triumphed, but not without drama and a few harrowing moments. Like McNish's horrific crash barely an hour into the event.
Yet another sick ride not available in the USA...
Why does the rest of the world get to have so much more fun than we do? We never get the cool toys; like the RS4 Avant, the KTM X-Bow, or the now-in-my-dreams RS 3...
Some more pure sound thanks to Audi...
Tuned Audi's all have a distinctive sound. Not unlike more familiar racing platforms - such as the 911's raspy air-cooled note; or the deep rumble of a Mustang 5.0 liter; or the high-pitched whine of a vTec 4 cylinder at 9,000 RPM.
The Audi powerplant, so eager to be boosted, so willing to be flogged. Perhaps a force-fed 5 cylinder is just noise to some, it can be magical to others.
Me? Place me first on the list of those who get aroused...
Turn up the volume, open a cold one, and prepare to fall in love again...
2012 Audi A6 Avant -UNCUT
It's no secret we're wagon lovers here at BlendLines. What a wonderful alternative to the hulking SUV. As far as wagons go, the Audi is by far the most appealing. Sorry. I meant to say 'Avant'. If I was talking BMW's it would be 'touring'. If the video was about Acura, 'Sport Wagon' would be more appropriate. And if it were a Volvo? Well, I would never drive one so it doesn't matter....
Enjoy the full clip.
Final Lap ALMS Sebring GT2
May and June are long months this year for ALMS fans. So what do we do, we relive great race moments, like this breathtaking final lap battle for GT2 victory in Sebring 2007. Just as the #2 Audi R10 takes the checkers for Audi Sport the real battle begins. After 12 hours of connecting apexes it comes down to an Italian and a German, car that is. If you’re a little ADD, like myself, skip to 3:05 and hang on to your seat. Ed una bella vittoria
