some of my pics - In order:

Mini Meet at the pub the night before with Vera, David, IT & his Daughter - here's a few pictures I took before darkness descended of my car and Vera's

I also had an interesting bet with a Yorkshireman (namely IT) which concerned me showing him pictures of MikkiJayne's grey S8, whereupon a difference of opinion occurred about the colour - I said that it was Dolphin Grey, and having owned a Dolphin Grey S8 (now owned by topgolfer in Bristol), Ian assured me that it wasnt. What I didnt tell him was that a few weeks before I had actually asked MikkiJayne what colour her S8 was, and she had said Dolphin Grey. . . you can see where this is leading. . . . so anyway a £5 bet was shaken upon and we awaited the arrival of MikkiJayne the next morning so that all could be verified and the wager settled. . . . you're ahead of me again lol . . . . here also is the picture of me collecting said fiver from the Yorkshireman in front of the Car at Castle Combe! :D

I love it when a plan comes together! +++

Yes, not a black car on our stand at all!! :p
Vera's is Pelican Blue apparently. Dont recall ever seeing a blue pelican but there you are.

(I do have to day that the S8 Plus in super gloss black DID look rather tasty tho' +++ )

Our Stand at Castle Combe :

RichardRacer living up to his name on the track!

The S8 Plus previously spoken about! :love:

Other Pics from the day :

Of course it was only a "virtual fiver" as far as Yorkshire Man was concerned. He was not out of pocket at all!
He actually acquired said fiver from me in exchange for a spare "Special Visitor" (free entry) pass to ADI that had been passed to him by A8parts. :ROFL:

So I effectively saved £5 on the usual entry price of £10 and gave the other £5 to Neil. :Confused:

and finally - CtL (Mike) added his name to the draw in the Main Audi Stand for the chance to win a passenger hot laps session in a race prepared R8 driven by e-FPA champion Steve Warburton, he then won the 1/2 hourly draw and suddenly realised that he would probably be killed . . . . . by Angela if he risked going in the car with still damaged/broken ribs from his accident. . . . . . guess who stepped in to help him out? :D

It turned out that Steve owns an original Audi V8 (D1) which he had driven to the track in so we had a great conversation about that. The R8 did 2 hot laps at full chat and it was pretty quick as they let us out onto the track in front of the other cars to get maximum benefit!

I spoke to steve later and he said that a full tank of fuel was doing 3 sets of 2 hot laps before the DIS flagged up 70 miles of range left!! :eek:

How very kind of you Neil. That's what friends are for! :D

Had the Yorkshireman not had a backup plan, the bet would never have happened lol +++

.... and you didn't just save a fiver, and considerable seconds on entry to the grounds, you spent the whole day feeling 'special'.... :p

The whole exercise only really went to prove how crap the camera and/or screen is on Neils phone as it really, really didn't look Dolphin Grey in the poor photo that Neil showed me.... :D
