A8oc Meet Report

Thanks to everyone for a great day out! Tony & Mike for orgainsing the meet and everyone else who came. It was good to put names to faces and perv over some lovely '8s.

James and Neil - Thanks for coming over to mine and picking me up for the convoy down today, it must have been horrible to see the A8 parked up in the drive in that state! (For those of you that don't know since my last post in this thread the A8 was involved in an accident last night and thats why it wasn't able to make it to the meet, I am taking the day off tomorrow to get it back on the road asap, aim to by Friday)

Sorry to go off topic, anyway. Great day out and I can't wait for pics. Will upload a few I took in the next few minutes. +++

P.S James - Your car is an absloute stunner, when looking at pictures I did prefer your final editions, but in the flesh its a completley diffrent story. The stance on the car was so much more than perfect, I couldn't believe how good it looked following it down. Easily the best looking and most tastefully modded '8 I have ever seen +++

Tony - The best sounding V8 I have ever heard, I want it!

One as a tease!

I'll wait for Tony to do the formal write up. But it was fun and great to meet all you guys.

This has been photoshopped... I can tell by the pixels and that I have seen some photoshops elsewhere :)

Couldn't resist it!

Just in the door 10 minutes after driving up the road using the wee man's iPod and speakers for the ICE (bloody MMI!)

Ditto what Singh said and thanks for the Barbie, those who played mother and didn't give me food poisoning are appreciated.

I want James's S8 in my study and whilst I would not go as extreme as him it's definitely made me want sport suspension if not coilovers all round. Ah well, budget will determine.

Tony was not a brummie, much to my disappointment. :D

The sight of Mikes hair at nine in the morning, flapping romantically in a force nine gale as he filled a bucket to wash his car after driving through a puddle. This will truly live with me for ever.

Watching Oli drive through standing water on the M1 at naughty speeds and lazily twitching from side to side. Then following him. "sod it, it'll be a very good looking crash and the look on the tow truck drivers face when he see's what he has to try and winch out of the ditch should be amusing"

A dog called Diesel sniffing my balls whilst Mike talks about polish and rubbing. Oh yes. Haven't enjoyed a sunday that much since Father Flannegan passed away.

Ian in the back of mine sniffing the air as if wine tasting. "Ahhhh, gearbox"

Dave diagnosing a stilleto as the cause of my broken rear vent. The boy's a psychic I tell you. He likes his peppered steak slices as well. He saved them several times from Ian's brake testing. I now know why my wife sometimes whimpers. One forgets how quick they are.

Builder22 "Oh no, I'm not a builder" ????? Lovely to meet you and your brother by the way. Thanks for talking to me, not knowing anyone was a pain at first :)

Ben Williamson, Ian and Dave, thanks for giving mine the once over. That would be a remap, sports cat mit ludicrous exhaust, Sport/S8 suspension, xenons, brembo's and various interior updates to smarten it up a bit instead of an S8 on the shopping list then.

Thanks to Singh and his friends for being annoyingly young. In my day we lived in hole in t' road etc... Nice car, me bitter? :ROFL:

Ian for showing me his diesel, nice.

Must go, need wine. See you all soon :)

Bill

What a great write-up! Sounds like a good day was had by all +++
