Well I was there, but parked with AudiSRS.
Went over to see the Aspect Valeting team and they recognised me first - "Hi, you were in Wales, weren't you?"
Only saw two other A8's, a D2 and a D3 in the A8OC area, but didn't know either of them.

Did see a lovely old (1984 maybe?) Audi 200 Turbo which the owner had for the last 30 years. He also has an S8 (D3 I think).

And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

The 200 turbo, a seriously flawed car. Put your foot down and its pot luck that the torque steer will keep you on the road or off. Plus the loudest yet least effective climate system. And seats designed for people with banana backs. An unleasant place to be

Only Sunday. Too busy looking at cars to be sure which area I was in when I saw the 8's TBH.

I thought I saw a D2 with a boot spoiler and IIRC it was silver? Somewhere in the centre next to a D3. Neither car was familiar.

It was a good show not been for years and the last time was in my old D2 . I did see a number of A8's about and all looked wicked . I was there on the Sunday in a Black A6 C7 Allroad which I parked not far from the Aspect Valeting team . The kids and a great time looking at all the tricked out Audi's..

The Avus with red leather and boot spoiler would be barzya8's newly acquired car
