Is North Wales Snowdon area? if so I'm voting for that.

I know its a bit too much for an annual meet, but one year we should do Stelvio pass or Furka pass as a convoy. That would be massively fun, plus Switzerland is great in general.
I have been to Furka pass twice and have seen car clubs and bike clubs doing it. It would be so much fun in the 8'ts. Never done Stelvio pass, that's the one I really want to go on.

Snowdonia is, indeed, in North Wales and Guy lives in that area, so I guess that might be a likely location if it gets the votes. We could even stage a photo opportunity of the Menai Bridge filled with '8s. :)

I'm anywhere except East Anglia - I spent some years there as a kid, and also went back last Easter, and it's just a bit flat for my liking, with not enough sweeping downhill bends and crests for me..+++.

I do also like the idea of a "European tour" though (Stelvio pass, and a few others). In fact, I can't think of a better GT car, in the true sense of that badging.

:ROFL: this is how i'd be pressing the button (the pig that is) Press me

I'd love to do a South West / Devon meet but i just can't commit enough time to the organising as I have already committed myself to do Ten Tors training for the local Scout group and coupled with working away from home just make for a very busy Dezzy.

Anywhere for us would do but North Wales may let me get a chance to do

Europe's longest Zip Slide which is in Snowdonia +++

I've voted for North Wales, Derbyshire Dales or South West, but would probably go anywhere as long as 'ickle BMWs are allowed again :)

If it's North Wales, we must get this en route:

Wales Mach Loop

The MOD even publish a timetable of low flying training for us +++

Low Flying Timetable

Or, if it's East Anglia, perhaps we could divert a little to the west to Santa Pod to satisfy Marcin's questions :D

On another note, some of our journey back yesterday included the North Yorkshire Moors, only saw a small bit of it, but looked like there must be some fabulous roads there.

Diametrically opposite for me. S.E. or North Wales. But I'll go anywhere.
😀

South West for me cause I think its a under appreciated part of the UK for car shows, meets and such but I don't think the dates will work for me as its our first year anniversary and been invited to minnesota for our mates wedding.

But you never know.

North Wales or Derbyshire Dales seem to be looking the most likely then. The CEO of Inchcape has promised Audi-branded support this event, so ideas on what we might like them to do in terms of support would be welcome - I've already given him some, but would love to hear the thoughts of others….

Oh, and Stockport Audi have given me this for my "feedback" on their service..;)
