Two years ago, the Audi Club of Florida dusted off a competitive event that had not been run in over 40 years, our own iteration of the Mobil Economy Run. Last year it was a knock off of Audi’s A to B MPG rally in Europe, so the question was, what we would do for an encore. After much debate and discussion with one of the AoA regional managers, it was determined that we start at two Audi dealerships Ft Myers and Melbourne, meet up for lunch at an equidistance third location, Audi Coral Springs, then proceed on to Key West.

Just a reminder, the Audi Club of Georgia will be holding our April Quarterly Meeting today at 7:00pm at Jim Ellis Audi of Atlanta. Our meetings are a great time to meet new club members, learn about upcoming events and give us your ideas for new events. Please register if you plan on attending.Jim Ellis Audi of Atlanta is located at: 5901 Peachtree Ind. Blvd Atlanta, GA 30341
