What a brilliant event. +++
Haigh Hall is a wonderful venue, the show is well organised, has a great attendance and it's FREE (other organisers take note). We met up with Steve (Tintin) and Darren at the hangover removal (breakfast) pre-meet meet and were treated to a full english x 2 as the kids gave up after one sausage :D. We were also served coffee by a barman with the biggest hangover I've seen in a long time. Poor B@stard :ROFL:. By this point I'd had enough of the kids already so put them in the boot. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344798699 We then convoyed to Haigh Hall and parked up in our spot. Kenny was already there as he'd been up since silly o'clock helping to set up the show. Hats off fella +++. Ian and David turned up about 11am with the lovely pearl white D2 and Ian's blue D3 A8 and then some random guy with a 56 plate D3 S8 and a newly installed Milltek turned up and joined the party. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344799559 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344799559 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344799872 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344800004 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344800106 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344800334 No idea who's finger that is :D. Then the heavens opened but being British I carried on regardless and took some nice beading pics. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344800606 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344800606 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344800606 A few more 8 pics http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344801159 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344801159 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344801159 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344801159 Some of the car highlights: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344801549 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344801549 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344801549 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344801549 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344801549 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344801549 and we also did a bit of this: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344802009 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1344802009 All in all a fantastic day. The kids were kept amused. I got to talk car bo££ocks and it ended up sunny. Couldn't ask for anymore. Will be there next year. Can't wait +++ |
Great pics. That old Polo was mental. Literally zero ground clearance. Some fine machines on show. Considerably more than 300 cars on show, including 24 Ur quattros, I lost count of the amount of 911s and not forgetting that beautiful late fifties genuine Porsche 356 Speedster.

some stunning cars there, looks like a fantastic day, and those 8s are looking very well fettled+++
and love the colour of that green Skoda Octavia estate in the first pic:love: |
Oh I would love to own that coupe

It was a great turnout, and notably one of the best 8 turnouts in terms of range:
PF S8 FL S8 Final Edition S8 D3 S8 D3 W12 D3 Pre face D2 2.8 not sure we've ever had all that German muscle in the same place at the same time before :love::love: Thanks to Kenny for organising.... +++ |

The pearl white S8 was fantastic especially when (first shock) Ian cleaned it :eek2: and (second shock) the sun came out :D.

Yes, but the sun has been known to come out before, even in Engerland. Me cleaning a car however, I know, its a bit much to take in..... ;) |
