That Coupe is just amazing, certainly see where the A7 gets its style from. Is the red D2 having a bit of an identity crisis

I think Chalky said that the badges were already on there but he has plans to remove them soon. . .

it is a very nice colour, just was a wee bit confused as Neil said it was a 2.8 and the badges had me even more confused, but at my age a confused state is not unusual TBH

Thanks to all, especially Neil for the organising (and the reminding everyone that i was sat at the wrong Crown wondering where everyone else was).

We all had a great day, kids loved the parade lap on the track well 2 out the 3. As it was a parade lap and there was no overtaking so I hung back a bit then floored it for the final bend but we caught up the cars in front a bit too early and I was having to brake mid bend and that made the 8 a little floaty. Well what’s the point in having a 4.2 if you can’t frighten the kids now and again? There are photo's somewhere as there was a car on track taking them but they wanted 25 notes for them and i didn't want them that badly.

Some really nice wagons there as always and a lot of drool down the front of my shirt.

Hmm a worrying mix of work, women, VW's and Smirnoff no doubt!
