Annual Meet - The aftermath
WOW!!!!! That would almost be simple enough on it's own, but WOW!!!!!
I'll do a full write up tomorrow, but the meet was simply awesome. The treasure hunt was brilliant, the hosting by Harrogate Audi was superb, the return drive to the hotel was glorious, and the drive to York Raceway was sublime. Lots more details to follow, but that'll keep you waiting with bated breath for now 8) MASSIVE thanks to Darren & Mike for all their help, and a HUGE thanks to everyone who turned up, you made the effort worthwhile. And guess what? There's an important announcement here |

Been home about an hour now, what an awesome weekend. So glad I decided late on to go. The location was fantastic, the Hotel was welcoming, great brekkie and very nice to allow us to park on the lawns.
You can't beat getting out of the South East for some great driving and stunning views. I drove back the M11/M25 with Rutgerf. Had a really easy drive down the A1. He'll be at Dover in plenty of time. Can't believe he drove from Holland. Kind of makes me think Germany isn't that far really. Those that didn't come really missed a treat. Mike, Darren and Tony's work in organising the meet, produced an awesome weekend. Harrogate Audi were incredible, that lunch was out of this world, they went to so much trouble for us. Loved the treasure hunt and York Dragway, got a new PB. Though how in the hell is Darren's car going so fast when its a standard car? I'm going to have it scrutinised a lot more closely next time. Roll on next year. I forgot my camera, so look forward to seeing other people's pictures. |
