Default Am in Beijing for two weeks, so went for a walk today, finding this:

In the Audi Forum, a W12 Avus Quattro. I like to try to find the time to stop in when I am in town; they often have something interesting. Today did not disappoint.

Happened to see an A2 on the street as well, but not quick enough with the camera.

So cool.

The black car beyond is a W12.

...and the original Avus wheel w/225x60x20's

You can see where Bugatti got some of its inspiration for the Veyron!

The R8 looks just "generic" in comparison to that!

Default Nice find. Is Beijing still as polluted as usual? A lot of homes still use coal. The thousands...

Of bikes are being replaced more and more by cars and its scary because they don't know how to drive.

Default How much will the dealer charge me to put me on his list???

Ju-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-ust kiddin'.

Loved that thing since they first released pics. Shoulda been what the R8 would be, instead of what it did turn out to be.
