Default Finally back

After approximately 20 hrs driving in the past four days I can certainly say this was a worthwhile trip.

I have loads of pics to add and can say without doubt it was very interesting watching the ambassadors of a8parts and a8freunde meet and share their views on how best to celebrate these iconic cars.....lets just say there was excessive amounts of gin involved!!!!!

I will add pics later tomorrow...but for now brain is totally fried and eyes very weary.....needless to say however I will certainly be up for next year.

I got to bed at 0130 this morning after a round trip of 1423 miles! I was up for work at 0630!!!!

Bit tired now so I'll pop my report tomorrow with a couple of photos. A great weekend travelling with top companions and meeting some true enthusiasts as well as cool Aluminium.
