Default Audi Driver International - Castle Combe - 2012 Meet Report

What a great day out that was.

Back at home now, having driven through some quiet heavy rain and following a diversion as the A350 was closed because of an accident around Westbury.

The weather was pretty good, bar the couple of showers but it did get chilly towards the end of the day.

Big thanks to all involved from us we had a good day, the big boys brekkie was just what we needed and a big for that.

Really great to catch up with everyone.

No photo's from us this year as i forgot the camera

Sorry we had to dash off at the end but had to get back, and just as well i didn't leave it any longer as the motorway was rammed due to a big accident on the M5.

Thanks to all that came especially those that came a looong way to ADI.
It was also good to see a few new and recent faces, including hopefully a new member for the forum from Bristol in his Black PF S8. The red PF A8 that Alex bought along looked great to - good to see you Alex, and Mannyo taught us all how to "quick detail" a car using bug shifter spray
