Well it was good to see everyone and the god of weather was kind to us too.
We had 13 No. A8/S8's turn up and 1 No. RS6 (hello Amar!) and it included a good mix of D2 PF and FL (including Botang's Supercharged PF!  ) and quite a few D3's also. Great to meet up with a few new faces at their first meets and people came from as far as Bolton, Harrogate and Bradford to the meet which is very much appreciated. The food at the pub was excellent as always and they seemed quite interested in what cars we had out in the car park too!I gave everyone a taster/update on the proposed annual meet for 2015 and I will post this as a new thread shortly for everyone else. For picture lovers, here are the pics I snapped earlier - enjoy!

And here are the rest.
My apolgies, due to age I have already lost the relationships between names, cars and everything else new that I learnt today. I do of course remember the name Brenda that appeared during one conversation but I think I had better leave that stone unturned.

Ha ha, nice to meet you and Craig today Ray (Sorry, Brenda). Great to meet you all folks. I was made very welcome for my first meet (although I did meet Amar there at an AudiSRS gathering 5 years ago).

 It would have been nice to see another Ebony Black FE D2 at this event: at least there are more pictures of it now.. . That light cream interior (nor sure who's car??) also looks nice. Roll on the summer event..

Really sorry I didn't get there.
 In retrospect I could have, but the family screwed me over big time, then changed their plans at the last minute, too late for me.....
