Having driven at speeds that would get an instant ban! Only slept 2.5 hours in the last 40! I am now drinking Vodka redbuls while stood amongst 20 8s. Photos to follow.

Guys,

Having slept the sleep of a severly drunken man (God we drank some weird stuff last night!), we (me and Mike, we are close you know ) are now preparing for another day of fun and frolics.

What are we preparing for?

1. A superb breakfast
2. A drive around the lake to a castle, where we'll have some serious photo ops
3. A nice meal at said castle (I think that's what they said anyway)
4. A BBQ this evening, where no doubt there'll be more green and red stuff (no we're not drinking liquidised EBC pads!!!) to tickle our pallette!!!

Anyhoo, the welcome has been incredible from the A8-Freunde, we couldn't have asked for anything better.

The best bit??? There's more to come

We'll get some photo's up as soon as we can, I've got 196 just from yesterday to sort through!!!

Default and Direct from the front line.............

"We go out of the studio now to our fearless reporting team on the front-line right in the thick of the action. Over to you Conan".

"Thanks Des. Well as you can see we have had breakfast and mine consisted mainly of orange juice and a mouthful of something I ate and drank last night. Damn this heartburn!

We are here in the middle of the most amazing 8-fest. Our insipid reporting team of Tony (the camera), Darren (load carrying) and me CtL the (good looking hunky) reporter. Surrounded by 8 of all kinds our current favourite....

The S8 with a V10. We get a ride in this later!

Highlights so far include, the 2 1/2 hours sleep in the first 40. Not being worried by seeing 140 on our speedometers for extended periods and the impromptu party last night after dinner illuminated by headlights, entertained by Mr Bose and lubricated by Ozo and Vodka from the boots of 2 8s.

See the slide show here.

More later.

Back to you in the studio des!"
