My wife and I would like to thank those that organised this great weekend, as well as everyone who attended, for making us welcome at last weekend's event. This was our first meet and we weren't quite sure what to expect but we really enjoyed ourselves. My wife was very fond of the Blue John cave and I think she would have spent a small fortune in the shop given half a chance.
It was great to meet so many people and it was quite a sight to see so many A8 and S8 cars together and I saw quite a few members of the public looking as we drove past in convoy! It was a great opportunity for us to experience this for ourselves. Once again, thank you to everyone and we may see you again soon... David |

^^^^^ Wot he said. :)
I love the convoy too, although it’s quite difficult sometimes to keep it together. |

Seriously though, I can only re-iterate what everyone has said, Mark (and Lyn supporting him) did a fantastic job this year and we only drove him slightly mad in the process, which is standard! So a BIG thanks from myself for all your hard work and for the time you put aside to make the end result as perfect as it was! +++ |
Having just got home we have to totally agree with and support all the sentiments above, everyone involved did a great job. +++
Ray, I hope Gwen is safely home now and things are more stable from now on. In fact we also were in the same area as you on Monday, but not quite as far South as Bakewell, though might have been able to join you had we known. :o We drove to Edale on Monday morning ( pretty close to Treak Cliff cavern) and, difficult to comprehend in this forum I know, but the S8 was parked behind the Ramblers Inn there and didn't move for 48 hours! |

Hmm!! Nice thought. Convoy of a tri-axle and an 8. :D I was out again yesterday with the big bus but only around the Clitheroe area. Also narrow lanes and a pub carvery lunch. Thanks everyone for the thoughts on Gwen. She is back home, but tethered to an oxygen concentrator. About 15 meteres of plastic pipe means that she can patrol the house, paddle upstairs to bed and can meander around some of the garden. The equipment was ordered Monday afternoon, installed first thing Tuesday and within the hour I was allowed to transport her home. We have O2 cylinders for emergency and travelling. End result is that she is much happier to be home, today is Isaacs first birthday, she missed his Christening on Sunday, and again very slowly improving. All we can do is keep hoping. |
It was even more than I could have anticipated +++
I too would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved with this! And I am so pleased I attended this meet, and also to have met you all :D It was amazing to be "racing" the English countryside as well. That demonstrated a side of these cars I had not previously experienced! All in all I drove 4570 km or 2839 miles. These cars are superb +++ I had to add oil :ROFL: about 1.5 litres |

Thanks for coming to the meet Johannes! It was great to meet you and really nice chatting with you. Hopefully we'll see you again next year? :) Did you manage to get to A8 Parts and get your roof lining replaced? |
