2013 Annual Meet - The Fallout Report
Once again dear readers, your romping and raving reports are at the scene of the action. It is chaos here with quick detailer, 2 bucket method and wheel shine flying in all directions.
 We started rocking up last night and had an excellent meal followed by some drink that had an odd effect. It made this reporter a bit sqiffy and go to bed rather late! Never mind, I was still up at 7 to find His Honour the Laird, Lord Jim, just finishing! Our first OCD basket case was committed at 0705 and will be sectioned in the Verderers Court tonight! So its now off for a ride on a choo choo (that's a puff puff for the Heathens out there). Romping will update you later with pictures.

Badge correction and apologies
I now know, thanks to Reffro and others that I owe everyone a deep and humble apology for turning up with my car in such a state.
 It won't happen again. The offending item (which was there when I bought the car) has been removed and all is now well in the S8 world as you can see here: (PS Anyone want a 4.2 Quattro badge for the cost of postage....)
