Great day. Really nice meeting everyone, catching up and checking out all those drool worthy cars.
Mike. Sorry I didn't see you to say goodbye. I had to make it back to get to a concert in Brum this evening (just leaving to go there now). Thanks for arranging the pre meet breakfast, brilliant way to start the day. Much appreciated. Here's to the next one. And Amar, you have to bring your girlfriend along again too, unless you have your own wheels. But bring her anyway

Another post from your romping reporter . . . . .
Mike turned up for the fat boy breakfast at the Crown in what we all assumed was a theatrical "smoke effect" entrance, but it turned out to be a slightly loose rocker cover gasket leaking oil on his manifold - nothing that couldnt be fixed, so 8 cars turned up at the crown and most had breakfast before departing to Castle Combe a few minutes away in a convoy of 8's! When we convoyed in we met up with Darren and Mel & Steve who had already arrived - 10 cars! A further 3 cars (Oli, Ian & Dave, and TopGolfer) arrived so we were up to 13 and there were a few other 8's dotted around the paddock including a Green P reg 4.2 A8 from Sheffield, a Mike S8 lookylikey Ming blue, and Roberto in his White D3, plus a nice D4 A8 at one stage! Reffro and Darren both went on the track to mix it up with all the RS's but A8_Tony was sorely missed for his more entertaining driving! At one stage though Mike did look a tad worried to be going out with Darren as a passenger!! It was great to see Amar and his girlfriend there and thanks to her for bringing him along - he needed his 8 fix as much as all the rest of us, especially at the current time. . . keep your eyes peeled for his green car still guys. . . Finally Ben was also presented with a scale model Bugatti Veyron as a token of appreciation for all his hard work and input to both the club and all of the cars he has worked on, and to wish him well as he embarks on his new role - I'm sure we will still all remain in touch! From a personal point of view it was just great to catch up with everybody especially those I didnt see for a while, testing Nicks' stereo in the V10 S8 was as good as expected, and proving by measurement that James' suspension was indeed still at least 20mm LOWER than Mike's Projeckt AnA car was worth lending him the tape measure to see the look on his face! Thanks again for a great day everyone, and to mike for organising the breakfast and the passes!
