Default A good turn out from A8OC

Good to put some more faces to names and to meet up with the usual suspects

Still undecided about exhaust, RNS-E, and i-Phone

A big thanks to Ben for hosting the day and to show us his setup. What Ben doesn't know about Audis can be written on the back of a very small postage stamp... ;-)

Thanks guys to everyone that came today! You guys made it very enjoyable for ME!!

Apologies for the slight mis-calculation on space needed - I didn't expect such a big turn out!

Didn't get to speak to everyone as so busy but again, thanks so much for the support and great to see everyone!!!!

We need to find a 'Ben' near you fella

My thanks to Ben for an awesome day. Whilst the car parking calculation meant that there wasn't enough room for everyone, the plod took it upon themselves to make it even worse......Jobsworths!!!

It was good to catch up with Ben, and to understand his plans for the future, it looks bright, and he will need shades!!

Thanks to everyone who turned up from the '8's side too.....9 cars turned up which was very respectable for a Sunday afternoon gathering

4 hours 5 to get there.3 hours 15 to get home!
Worth going just for the drive. But got to have a fascinating day out. Meet mates, talk bollox, get parts for the car, buy bed time covers for me 8s, do deals, support Ben and the A8oc. Well worth the distance.
