Default Annual Meet.....come one, come all

Well, it's nearly that time of year again, when I start to put together venue etc for the annual A8/S8 meet.

I'm about to book a venue, and have two in mind:

Billing, works out just about perfect for space, but can be a 'mare if it's wet.

Another venue suggested by VW lowrider (not sure on name here) which is also up for consideration

I am well aware of the fuel costs involved, so would like to make sure that it's as central as we can get, so anyone who's interested in this years meet, please put your names below.

I'll also arrange meet t-shirts, and plates if enough people are interested, so please let me know if you are

Sounds good to me - Billing is good for space, and thankfully Botang has the 8 with the BBQ carrying conversion, so works well.....

For the uninitiated, its a really friendly gathering of folks who all share one genuine common interest in the car - There is no such thing as a crud A8, its a flagship for gods sake so dont think your's wont be good enough... If it has the Spaceframe badge on it, its better that 99.9% of the cars you'll pass traveling there....

Family, spouse, kids, etc all welcomed. The more the merrier....

As Tony says, if you are interested in being part of a big A8 meet later this year, let us know. Post your name, location and willingness to travel in this thread. I'll start:

Ian@A8parts - Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Will travel pretty much anywhere....
