Gninnam = Me,me,me please:D

I have got a 2000 S6 on the drive, in fact it has been sitting on the drive for months, if it starts, I Will get the mate that was meant to be coming up in my car to drive that up instead to keep Ians '6 company :D

Singh

How long is your drive?

The program is up at the start of the thread.

Wish I still had my old A8 for the sound off :mad:

It sounded immense, hopefully its new owner will come along for the sound off..

Have a great day everyone...
 

...Unfortunately, I will be passing the Northern contingent travelling on their way South on my way up to Burley-in-Wharfedale for my cousin's 40th...then back South Sunday for my wife's uncle's 70th (I know, I know...)

Can someone record the "sound-off" so I can make a decision on an exhaust?

Very keen to hear the Milltek...

Zip

further update at start of thread.

Are the two '6s not going to join in to make the A8 logo?

Flippin 'eck. I can't even begin to imagine what the formation after the A8 Logo will look like, will we even be able to fit 40++ cars in a line? Thats going to look spectacular! Cant wait for this!
BTW: Saw an A8 owner at the petrol station filling up in front of me in a D2 3.7 FL, told him about the meet and he looked at me funny like you sad sad little boy, seriously wasn't intrested, lol! To some people the '8 is just another car.

Eeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr No! :p

Heretic! To some people there is no God...............

To answer the PM, I'm only a maybe now. I had a small accident with the car, parked the nose over a kerb and when I reversed it caught the undertray and ripped it through 180 degrees and pulled off the bumper........

Its at the repair centre now, I should have it back before then, but you never know. I'll know for sure next Weds.

Fingers crossed fella +++

Hi There,

Am unsure i'll make it. I am in Leeds on the Fri/Sat and will depend how things go there if i'm up for driving. Its kinda on the way home to Huntingdon....

Then again my beast will not be looking that imaculate....i still have trim bits out inside from the ongoing stereo install. The bumpers have a few notches and i'm missing a small side trim piece which i've yet to find a replacement for.

It will also be dirty and bug splattered and a touch shy !

Lee

Lee, you could join the rest of us driving down from the Leeds area. We are going down on the Saturday, probably leaving around 5pm ish......hopefully you'll still be able to make it fella, irrespective of the state of your car, we'll be pleased to see you there +++

I'm up for the meet. Me plus 1 possible other an not forgetting the S8 FL
Have no idea how to get this onto your list so apols if it's mis-placed.
Looking forward to meeting everyone

You are added. C U There! +++

well this time next week we should all be nursing our sunburn from a hot day in the sun, burning your hands as u touch the paint and burning your back as u seat in them burning hot leather seats.+++
Cant wait LOL.
Also need to add a A4 and family. Little ones Teacher coming along as hubby is Audi Mad, and there little one is Plane mad.
Have tryed to get hold of the R8 owner at brunting thorpe (spelling wrong)
He does them drive a supercar for a day there. Its his car but helps pay the costs to run the car.

Me me me! I wanna go in his R8
promise I'll be good :D

OK, car arrived back this morning, looking dare I say it better than before. So I'll see you all on Sunday

Nice one fella +++ Be good to see you there :)

Just remind me, where are you travelling from?

Bushey, Herts

Actually I'm be driving from Market Rasen, Lincolnshire on the day, as I am at my parents house Fri & Sat. Taking the A46 from Rasen to Leicester and joining the M1 South for a few junctions, will be there in time for the photo op.

To all bringing babys. Theres a fridge we can put milk in, to keep it going off if hot. Or if u got somthing else small u want to keep cool.

Oh dear, Sundays forecast is set for heavy rain..

i saw the same. Ile wait and see tomorrow evening, to see if they get tomorrow evening rite. They say rain after 4pm, So ile go on to venues weather cam at 8pm, see if it is raining.

I'm not sure which service you guys are checking, I usually trust what metcheck.com say, and they suggest light showers with 1.2mm rain falling between 10 and 4, hardly anything to write home about.

MRS A8 will kill me if i dont get her car in the A8 formation pic, after it was her idea.

We all know they get it wrong wait till the day+++

What time is the Saturday party arriving? I have booked my 335 in for a service at a BMW dealer local to the meet and they said they can drop me off in Lutterworth while they are working on it, anyone around? what time? +++

A8owner and I will be at the airfeild from 1400. A8owner will probably be there earlier.

Sure will. Hope to be there for my breakfast.

Car washed polished all day by Mrs A8 owner then went to pick kids up from school. Down came the rain and still is. Car semi loaded Girls just spent all there pocket money on things to sell at meet LOL. Kids r going around as if it was Xmas eve.
