My hat is off to any automaker that collects, restores, displays, and even loans out its historic models. Audi is just such a company, eager to remind us of its rich heritage. Located near corporate headquarters in Ingolstadt is Audi tradition, a warehouse where the firm's collection of over 300 cars is kept and maintained. It's not a museum and not open to the public for this is a working facility, but if you know someone, a visit can sometimes be arranged. Audi enthusiast George Achorn, who produces Fourtitude.com, definitely "knew someone" and was able to spend the better part of a day with a knowledgeable guide. The above shot of two Auto Union Silver Arrows being worked on is an example of why it's worth a few minutes of your time to read George's article and peruse the photos.
