Hoosier Audi Garage

[odie]

I haven't updated the page lately, but I haven't done much to the garage either.

I did do a little work in the garage this past weekend. Had to change a headlight low beam bulb in the S4. This requires the removal of the headlight unit, which requires the front bumper to be removed. A lot of work just to change a bulb.

This is definitely common for VAG vehicles. Really lets you get to know your car haha.

That's one way of looking at it.
On the plus side, I now can remove the front bumper if needed.

Just wish I were doing something cooler than changing a light bulb.

And this is why no longer own my 2004 A6 S-Line...

Love the garage, fellow Hoosier!

 

[LoanRebel]

just saw you replied to a post of mine almost a year ago. We have a 2007 Q7 3.6, had it since new has 30k on it. before that a 2004 A4 1.8t, before that 1997 A4 2.8... best car I ever owned...

keep up the nice work on & in the garage

Where did you get the artwork? I want to do something similar, just need to find the art and time...
Nice stable of vehicles, I have a 2008 A4, 2010 S4, and a couple of VW's. Great cars but the brake dust on all of them is an issue. I usually replace my pads with Mintek red and they throw almost no dust in comparison. I had an 01 TT and replaced almost new pads because I was tired of cleaning brake dust on a daily basis.

I got all of the Monaco posters off of ebay...there were a couple of different sellers.
I do the same with the brakes, but use Hawk pads. HPS on the S4 and Ceramic on the Q7.

brake dust on the Audi's & most German cars are ridiculous. I change them right away. I have used the power stop kits that come with everything & am very happy. Nice compromise between dust & noise.
My current car is an H2, big difference from the German cars. The wife gets the nicer car... I go up to VT regularly & the messy dirt roads up there are better for the hummer
Again love what your doing with your place

Nice garage, nice car. Fellow Hoosier here as well.
I work in New Albany, live near Marengo.

What a winter we had, I saw you liked playing in the snow, wouldn't hurt me if we didn't get the chance for the next couple of years!

Thank you. I work in Louisville and live near Georgetown, IN.
Wow, Marengo, you guys have had all kinds of weather up that way!

That's where I have been looking, need to find just then right pics. I have a large Vinyl Audi graphic that I need to mount, frame, and hang. Maybe something to do this weeekend... After clay bar and detail on the A4 and S4.

I sure hope that you changed all the bulbs ( maybe not a functioning HID bulb). Hate to take all of that apart more than once!

I must first say - nice garage and vehicles! But alas I'm very disappointed. You see, we St. Louisans have a much different definition for the word "hoosier" than the rest of the country and when I saw the title I thought "I gotta see this, a hoosier with an Audi???" I was expecting a much different garage lol.

Anyway keep up the good work and for those curious to how we define hoosiers in St. Louis check out Urban Dictionary - #3 is spot on but may not make sense if you're not from here.

Where did you get the vinyl Audi graphic? Interested in seeing that.

Thank you, I think.
I've never heard of your definition, I even have family that lives in St. Louis. I'm going to have to give them a call.

Not sure where I found it, some website that allowed me to specify the size. It was about $30. I spent some time today sticking it to a backer sheet of plywood and framing it(25x40). Turned out pretty well!

Yea, I like that! Looks good.

Here is the eBay link to where I got the vinyl graphic:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audi-Logo-L...mblem-Crest-Any-Size-Background-/120908830865

I mounted it on a piece of 1/4" plywood and framed it. You can specify the size, mine ended up being 24x40 framed.

I haven't done much to the garage lately, except for a few more things on the walls. But it's still getting used.

Love the simple, uncluttered look of your space. Definitely something i'll be applying in mine.

 

[Scott V]

Nice clean look to your Audi themed garage.
I became a major Audi fan a few years ago and love every second behind the wheel, summer through winter.

 

[Scott65]

Great taste in artwork, the garage looks great! The framed Audi graphic looks familiar?

Jason, those some **** rotors you got there! And I'm a HUGE fan of Hawk pads! That aside, great job on your space! It's simple, usable and looks great!

 

[KristianS]

Nice Hawks! On my to do list for my Avant.

Thanks. I've had good luck with the Hawks and only use them on our cars.

Nothing to do with my garage. But I did take the S4 out for a little fall drive yesterday.

Starting to do a little more on the garage.
Added a few more cabinets and hung a few more things on the wall.

One picture to show some progress.

Love the Audis!! Nice space you have!

 

[dokebi1221]

Love your S4. Nice drop. I also have an Audi.
Not to be biased or anything, but people in this forum with Audi's have the best garages IMO...Okay, maybe little biased haha.
