Germany Trip 2012
As there is no such thing as a fair fight I thought I would get in early with my insults and inuendo before Neil (Architex Ma8tey) does! +++
Your raving and romping reporters, accompinied by RanjS8 and Notorious will be meeting up this evening to talk stratergy and advanced bo££ox while drinking diet water and lo cal ice. Ferry tomorrow and then a mad 3.7 litre crawl across europe to Germany hoping to get there before we have to come home. More to follow................. CtL :p |

the crawl will be slightly less of a crawl now that my manifold flaps arent sticking!!! OK now all you folks be sure to look after the shop while your top team are checking out the competiton!! I want to see lots of reports and pics from both Audis in the Park and also the Classic German Show at Wigan! +++ |
Lucky gits, have fun. I'll be heading up to AITP so will grab some photos. Edersee looks like a beautiful place, be safe on the autobahns, and if you see an RS 6 - don't bother racing it. ;)

Enjoy! I'm afraid work commitments and just being too close to my "real" holiday meant I couldnt make the trip. :( Maybe next year.
|
Yes enjoy yourselves you lucky people as am well jealous!!! I am just going to slum it with Amar and the other boys at AITP .........don't forget we want lots of piccies :)
Ohh and the autobahn is as fast as you can do ;) |

The fun starts and the ferry hasnt even left yet. I knew I should have come along. I just had to rest as I came back from a drive round Europe last weekend. Cant wait to see the report & pics. |
Hello again all
This is your romping reporter. I'm sat opposite your raving reporter and Ranj - Well after much merriment and talking expert car bo££ox we are all safely on the ferry and holed up in the club lounge bar. :-) The hot sunny weather we ordered is delivered and Mike has 35 miles of fuel showing as remaining on his DIS and it is 37 miles to the filling station in Belgium that he wanted to use! We have installed a couple of screen mounted video cameras in both our cars so watch this space!! Tune in for the next exciting episode! +++ |

... and they can still do you for dangerous driving above all else if you are driving like a plonker. Oh, and they really, really dont tollerate any sort of racing.... ;) |
Update.
With 2 Grossen bier Bitte in front of your raving and romping reporters, we have completed the tasks for today. Badly! :)
We set out to document all the 8s, talk to as many owners as we could and talk german car Bo££ox. Unfortunately, baggy heads, lack of German language and baggy heads made it all too difficult. So we took some photos and headed back to the bar where Sergay proved useful as a spy! He is Russian after all. Notorious and RanjS8 have headed off to the Germany.DE meeting 65Km away and Neil and I remained to carry away 40% of the prizes on behalf of the UK. Neil came second in the attendees choice for best 8 and I won longest distance travelled to get here (1230Km) and I still have to go home! 25 cars attended on the saturday drive out to a Schloss (castle to you) and it was an 'intersting' and ring peice adjusting drive! There is video of me who, after a spirited (read stupid) overtake followed by a test of the ABS on a blind bend, Once again adjusting the ring peice and we continued on. A photo or two to follow................. |

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. |
here are a couple of pics

I think Mikes Porsche Wheels off the Projekt AnA Car look awesome on the murple-mobile. The silver on the rims picks up the chrome on the mirrors and elsewhere +++ |
Was I there? Was I drinking? :Confused:

Drunken Logic....
Given that you are unsure on Q1, suggests that the question arises as a result of Q2......
The game is up Mike I think Taggart is on your case now...lol |
