The Audi Club started as a group of “old-school” Audi owners who regularly posted on an online forum and decided that it was finally time to meet. Since they were coming from all areas of the U.S., Carlisle was the perfect central location. They’ve been coming here since 2004, and each year their crew gets bigger and bigger. Old, new, shiny, rusty — it doesn’t matter as long as it’s from Audi. This show continues to be a great combination of people, cars, food, stories and fun.
