I'm doing my best, honestly.
First obstacle, talk SWMBO into wanting to attend.
Second obstacle, making sure that I am free from work.

I'm going to have to miss this one as I'll be busy working as I've run out of annual leave. Merry Christmas to every one and I hope you have a good time at the meet.

Or maybe they will, #1 son says he might bring his S4 Avant as well but leave the rest of the family behind. It's a B7 so has a "proper" 4.2 V8.
So a potential lastminute +1 adult for lunch and a B7 S4 for the car park.

EDIT: Confirmed it will be me + 2 adults, all for lunch please.

Not sure what I'll be driving, maybe come in the Mini for a change.

I do have bids on a couple of Audis at the moment though, so who knows

Hello Guys and Gals,

I'll be up for this one, though I too won't be in an 8, I will be in an Audi though!!!

Lunch for one please, (Mrs T is not here yet)

Looking forward to meeting friends old and new, having had to miss this years meet, withdrawal symptoms are setting in.......
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a great New Year to all.

Steve

Who's up for it?

We are looking at a lunch timing as before because it'll be too dark for some nice car viewing later on - Oh and we're looking at this date to enable us to join up at this meet with the Audi Owners Club owners too if we can get a dozen cars each it could be a nice little meet!

I'm sticking my neck out.
Please put Gwen and I down for lunch.
I will probably be shouted at and beaten up but hopefully all scars will have healed before the 30th.
