Default AudiSRS breakfast meet, Towcester 1st November 9am

At Buddies diner, before 9am for 9am brekkie. http://audisrs.com/about56277.html

Professor Peach and I were the "big boys" at a meet there a few months back. Though this time there will be a Maserati!

But does a Maserati count?
Not an S or RS
Not an Audi
Not German
Or are they planning to have him for the breakfast

Not at all folks. This is not an AudiSRS event, just a group of folks who originally met there who have a varied mix of machines now. We get together to talk rubbish (sometimes about cars, sometimes not) every couple of months. It's just a friendly gathering of like minded people. Whatever you drive - We even let a Clio join us. 😃😛

I might have been interested but 9am on a Saturday morning is no good for a night owl like me

It's only about 20 miles down the A5 for heavens sake!
We'll probably sit down and eat at 9am as the place opens, and still be there 10ish.

HP. Just reading your signature and I noticed the Ford Focus. "Gone, but not forgotten" with a sad face adjoining.
Chin up mate, give it time. I can't promise that the memory will go, but with time, it will diminish

Read again.
It's the PF S8 that's gone but not forgotten (Agate grey one in my sig pic - had it for 11 years!), Focus is still trundling on as the runabout.

That's 2 hours for me, so will have to pass - I've used all my weekend passes for the rest of the year!

Tempted by the Goodwood one but need to see if the Mrs fancies attending. I did the 4x4 one a couple of years ago and parked on the main straight - was good fun
