So how many 8's are going? it's a bit of a trek for me but would be willing to make the effort if there were a few going. Or would be turning up in an A be fround upon?

Hi Dezzy

Well Jayzee and A8L Chick have both said earlier they may be up for it, but if not it may be just me, myself and I from here

If anyone can confirm bar unexpected dramas that'd be great

Am sure an A8 will be just as welcome (certainly by us lol) - I'm expecting half the attendance to be B5 S/RS4s

Adrian

Just don't let them take you out in any of their cars. It makes ours feel very slow (I know from experience) but they ain't half as elegant or comfortable.

So the Devon boy made it to the big city, what happened to the local 8 owners? Oh well there were 2 8's in the car park. Nice to meet you Adrian E hopefully at an proper 8 meet next time.

Hi Dezzy

Nice to meet you too Can't believe how far you drove to get there - that's committment!!

I guess being the 1st meet of the year some people haven't dusted their cars off from the winter yet, plus was always an SRS club meet more than anything else.

Hopefully next time there'll be a bigger turn out as the evenings stay light for longer. I got home at 11.30 after driving home cross country - placing a car as big as this down lanes not wide enough for 2 cars to pass is rather 'interesting' but I'd rather do it in the dark so you can see headlights coming towards you!

Real mix of cars and people there - enjoyable evening of talking all sorts car related! Even had a professional racing driver in attendance.

Adrian
