ADI 2010 Report

[Just_Ben]

What a brilliant day!
I had agreat time, very very busy but great!

Always a great bunch from on here!

And, on a personal note, I am SOOOO grateful for the AMAZING model you gave me! I was genuinely touched (not in a Navy Mike way) and it is going to take pride of place in my new office!!!

I have been looking over it with it's own (supoplied!) magnifying glass - it is better quality than many actual cars I have owned!!!

Thanks again and here's looking forward to the next meet - Nurburgring anyone! I'll pack me bag!

also had a fantastic day. was good to see some old faces and meet new ones. all the 8's looked good and clean apart from mine.
love some of the mods, project 'ana' is looking fantastic but my 8 of the day had to go to james. i just love the look of his car. i just wish i had the time, money and patience to do the same
good to see you amar but wish you could have been there in your green s8. hopefully you will get her back and get her back on the road looking as good as before( please dont give up on her yet)
had a few laps round the circuit and took a good few mm of my tire tread but it was well worth it. these cars are just amazing and when on the track we can mix with the big boys in there more expensive RS models. saw the pic of mikes face before i took him on track and i am glad nobody got a pic of him when we got back although he did seem very calm, maybe it was just shock

best part of the day for me was when ben received his Bugatti Veyron. it was well deserved by probably the best man i know. as mike said if it was not for ben going above and beyond the call of duty then i would not have got the chance this year to have gone to the german meet and the nurburgring. i would again like to thank you for what you have done and i am sure many other 8 owners would like to thank you your a top bloke ben.

I've been scanning forums and youtube for pictures and video of me on track (yes I know its vain) and found this:-

Only a brief clip of me at 6m30s. And found this photo, not a lot of lean angle, even though I was pushing.

Yes Mel the new A8 has Adaptive air suspension with 4 selectable modes (auto, dynamic, comfort and lift) selectable through MMI
I would also expect upcoming sportier models to maybe have further lowered suspension

Was the R8 driver an older gent called Richard by any chance? He was my 'coach' at a Porsche day I did with work the other and was talking about probably driving the R8 on track at ADI... He drives an '8 and was the first winner of Le Mans for Porsche (in 1970 I believe).
