Default Audi Driver International - Report

Hello all - well another meet report from your romping reporter!

I arrived at The Crown Inn near Castle Combe at 0745 to find CraigyB's Black A7 in the car park from the night before. Surprisingly Dezzy managed to find the right Crown Inn this year () and rolled up next with Mrs Dezzy and the three Dezzy-ettes in the back, followed by Chalky Whyte in his Metallic Red 2.8 A8. Shabazmo (A7) and Notorius then turned up followed by Reffro and we all adjourned for the Big Boys Breakfast and were joined by Adrian_E shortly after.

We convoyed along to the Main Arena at Castle Combe at 9am and met up with Hashluck (Silver A7) and parked up en mass -



















We were joined later by Top_Golfer (good to see you Rich) in Ian/Clives old Daytona Grey S8 with beautifully refurbished Diamond Cut wheels, and also said hello to ADR UR Quattro from Luton who was there later in his beautiful Black S8 which came from Oscar Goldman a few years ago when he got it (did anyone get pics??)







Individual Pics of each car in the line -













Dezzy took the kids out for a rather fast drive on the track and Reffro off-loaded some ballast in his boot onto Adrian_E before blasting around a few rather satisfying laps at full pelt! We will look out for the online images of both from the track photographers. . . .

All in all a great day out - weather not too bad - it even brightened up towards the end of the day. thanks to all who came, and to CraigyB for his input on what I can and cant do on the A7 with VAGCom. . . . now who's up for a Xmas meet somewhere?? any suggestions???

Nice story, I haven't even been alive 25 years, it's got that sloping roof line like your A7 Neil.

Its the 100 coupe that the shapes of the A7 are based around. This one was in just superb shape, not surprising when youve read the history!
The sad thing is that my mileage in the A7 will overtake his mileage after about 2.5 years lol

Nice to see everyone again, or the 1st time for some Cheers to Craig for the RNS-E keys too and to Reffro for checking my vacuum thingies on my inlet manifold and demonstrating that they're working perfectly

Guys, it was great to meet all of you again. It's a pity I had to depart early. See you next time.
