I'm an allroad enthusiast just
like you. When I saw the Speedvision Test Drive of the allroad
in late 2000 I said I have to have that car! I had just bought a
VW Gti and was in no position to buy a $50,000 car so I kept the
AR in the back of my mind. One of my oldest hobbies is
motorcycle sportbike riding and I had been doing track days to
the tune of 3-4 per month. In 2002 I would normally use my
girlfriends GMC Yukon to tow the trailer to the race track but
the Yukon was going off lease in November and she was
anti-car-payment so i had to find an alternate to the Yukon. I
searched high and low for a vehicle. I test drove and looked at
dozens of pickup trucks, SUVs and vans. In August she and I
stopped by an Audi dealer on a whim to test drive the allroad -
just for the hell of it. I was smitten. I knew it was perfect
for everything I wanted. August 8, 2002 the Atlas allroad came
home with me.
As a new regular on Audiworld
forums I began to connect with other allroader's (my forum name
was RR_allroad at the time) and make some real friends. We even
managed some get togethers over the years. Audi ownership is a
test in patience and mental stamina. Probably one of the most
rewarding cars to own the allroad is very complicated machine
and as such requires a commitment to own long term. I decided I
wanted a place to keep what I have learned about the allroad in
one place so here you are!
