I'll be there, it's only a 15 min drive from my mates house, plus it will be good to meet with the guys coming to Edersee/Nurburgring and talk tactics.

Most especially do we trust Darren's D3 Sat Nav won't just have the major roads of Germany and maybe let him have a go in front;)

I guess I should be there as it is only 15 min drive but I feel that none of our Audi's S8 or A6 is good enough condition to be displayed for public admiration

Ahh don't be silly - just think of it as a more convenient parking place closer to the action - all 8's are always welcome +++

ainarssems 24th July 2011 04:19 PM

In that case I better be there if just to make your cars to stand out more. Now off to weld front bumper and polish the paint. Ohh.. who am I kidding you will be lucky if I wash it.

Might pursue my mate to come in A4

Singh 27th July 2011 08:15 PM

Audis in the park was brilliant last year, I may come in the '8. Will let you know a couple of days before. I don't plan far ahead.

What time should we arrive? Do we meet somewhere and then attend all together or do we show up one by one. How long does it last as I have to work Sunday night so will not be staying late.

Ok all I've spoken to Calvin the organiser and he would like club stand cars there at the show ground for 9am or as near to 9am as possible, so I suggest we meet nearby at 815-830am then cruise in together.

There is a large car park near to
The Overstone Arms, Stringer's Hill, Pytchley, Nr Kettering, NN14 1EU

Its only a couple of miles from Wicksteed Park so should be easy for everyone to aim for coming from the various directions.

The show goes on until mid to late pm and tends to break up after the awards and prizes are presented for the various show n' shines etc but if you need to leave earlier then its not a problem to go when you need to

OK is anyone else coming along to say hi?? +++

That's a shame Matt, was looking forwards to seeing it again!
See you there later on anyways. +++

Singh 6th August 2011 05:11 PM

I'll be there in the A8 as buying Neil's H&R spacers but why oh why can't this start in the PM. Ruins my Sunday morning lie in. :(

First picture from the meet. Batteries have died in the camera even so I put a new ones in yesterday, I think it is shorting out- time for new camera. So I only took one picture on phone and bad boy BAJIT(it does sound like bad boy does it not?) have left already. I am sure there will be many to follow.

Architex_mA8tey 7th August 2011 03:52 PM

HERE is a link to my pics from the day! Thanks to those that made it, probably our lowest attendance at a meet but still a good day was had by all +++
Interestingly the four cars we had there were a pre facelift A8, a pre facelift S8, a facelift A8 and a facelift S8!
Other cars seen were a silver V10 S8 on an 08 plate with low mileage at the show and shine, a silver late FL 2.8 with Final Edition wheels, Xenon pluses and blinds etc so a nice high spec for a 2.8 (spoke to the guy and told him to get on here!) and a couple of other D3's and a silver D2 with D3 "dustbin lid" wheels

ainarssems 7th August 2011 03:59 PM

Mine's got to be best looking of the bunch in pictures or is it just me??:)

Ive never seen it so shiny though! bonus marks awarded :D

ainarssems 7th August 2011 04:08 PM

i do not take any comments from competitors, just from independent judges
I mean look at those FL they look too soft, mine is badass oldschool

PsYcHe 7th August 2011 06:00 PM

Definitely our lowest attendance.. Disappointed I couldn't make it this year.

Singh 7th August 2011 07:12 PM

Good to meet up today guys, Ainarssems, sorry I didn't get to say bye. I had to get into London and was running late. The 8s all looked fantastic. My favourite car was the silver RS 2, there really wasn't anything else that intresting for me... Oh I nearly forgot, the noise the supercharged S5 makes is stunning.
