Yes! Somebody did turn up at the event in an RS6.
Ah...I remember that well - my first club meet, I think, as I got my S8 in early 2008. And coincidentally, I was talking about that meet and photo at this weekend's annual meet (to Sarg, I think?...).

Great fun - as they always are

Close, but no cigar... unless of course someone was coincidentally talking to me about the same photo. Spooky!!!

No worries. It was a great story about the photo itself, and would be so much easier nowadays with a drone... so long as the operator brought the batteries.

I think it was me talking about this meet (Bruntingthorpe)
This was the first one I attended.
My fellow passengers, (brother, son and me,) bumped into an old business competitor. We were having such a laugh that we failed to follow instructions and hide when the plane came over to take that shot. So there we are, standing and yapping away. Sorry

If anyone has an original it is possible to read the plates and ID the cars, some of which are still with us I guess.

It was my first meet as well, I think. I was talking to Mike about it at the Kelso meet too

At this time I had a 4.2 QS and Bruntingthorpe is only about 20 miles away, but I had not discovered the forum by then

Just think, I could have attended a meet in an actual Audi
