Over the Fourth of July weekend, the ACNA website will be switching over to a new website design and updated Joomla software version. It is possible you may experience some downtime of the website, or some limited functionality. Once the switch is started, it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours for everything to be working normally. While we have not set a specific time that the switch will go over, it will most likely happen sometime on Sunday, July 5th.

Due to ongoing issues with our move to a new server, we have temporarily opened the "Members Only" pages to general viewing. You will no longer need to log in to view Board of Director Minutes, Bylaws and other previously protected files. We expect this change to be in place until the website software can be updated in the near future. 

Please note that you will still need to log-in to access the Renewal Application and Change Address form. 

If you experience any issue in accessing the files that were previously protected in the Members Only area, please email Matt Daniels at matt.daniels(at)audiclubna.org.

Toy Collector Unites with Audi to Celebrate Marque’s 100th Birthday

Toy Collector and Audi are joining up online to celebrate the brand’s centenary with a blog showcasing Audi’s history in model form, and a charity auction that will give bidders a chance to own a strictly-limited 1/18-scale 1935 Audi 225 Front Roadster - among many other fantastic Audi, Auto-Union and DKW miniatures.

Every week until July 16th, themed blog entries will be going up on the Audi Centenary Blog on Toy Collector, with each entry focusing on vehicles from a different era of Audi history or motorsport, as represented by diecast models selected from the Audi Miniatures Collection.

Over the same period, all the models featured in the blogs are being auctioned off in a special section of the Toy Collector site’s forum, with the proceeds going to the Helen & Douglas House which provides hospice care for children and young adults. Interested parties can bid at any time up to the brand’s actual birthday on July 16th – all they will need to do is to take out a free Toy Collector membership.

The first blog entry covered Audi’s pre-war road cars, in the form of the 225 Front Roadster and 920 Cabriolet, while the second looks at the Auto Union racing cars of the 1930’s.

The model of the 225 Front Roadster on offer is extra-special, as it will be finished in white, like the full size car recently re-created by Audi specially for the centenary. CMC is making just 1,000 of the 1/18 scale models in this shade, and these will not be available in shops, only direct from Audi. The model debuts in July, and the auction winner will be one of the first to receive one.

Also up for auction are a 1/24 920 Cabriolet from CMC, Brumm and Revell Auto Union Streamliners, soon to be joined by many other models including iconicmodern Audis like the Sport Quattro, TT and R8 as well as classics like the DKW Junior and Auto Union 1000SP Coupe.
