Ah...I remember that well - my first club meet, I think, as I got my S8 in early 2008. And coincidentally, I was talking about that meet and photo at this weekend's annual meet (to Sarg, I think?...).

Great fun - as they always are +++

Close, but no cigar... unless of course someone was coincidentally talking to me about the same photo. Spooky!!!

Well...at least I got the first letter of the name right - sorry Sean! 'Twas fun reminiscing with you, all the same +++

No worries. It was a great story about the photo itself, and would be so much easier nowadays with a drone... so long as the operator brought the batteries. ;)

I think it was me talking about this meet (Bruntingthorpe)
This was the first one I attended.
My fellow passengers, (brother, son and me,) bumped into an old business competitor. We were having such a laugh that we failed to follow instructions and hide when the plane came over to take that shot. So there we are, standing and yapping away. Sorry :-(

If anyone has an original it is possible to read the plates and ID the cars, some of which are still with us I guess.

It was my first meet as well, I think. I was talking to Mike about it at the Kelso meet too

At this time I had a 4.2 QS and Bruntingthorpe is only about 20 miles away, but I had not discovered the forum by then :-(

Just think, I could have attended a meet in an actual Audi :D

Neither had I, sadly. Despite having an S8 continuously since 2002 I didn't discover the forum until 2011. :-(
