Hi Dezzy

Well Jayzee and A8L Chick have both said earlier they may be up for it, but if not it may be just me, myself and I from here

If anyone can confirm bar unexpected dramas that'd be great

Am sure an A8 will be just as welcome (certainly by us lol) - I'm expecting half the attendance to be B5 S/RS4s

Adrian

Just don't let them take you out in any of their cars. It makes ours feel very slow (I know from experience) but they ain't half as elegant or comfortable.

So the Devon boy made it to the big city, what happened to the local 8 owners? Oh well there were 2 8's in the car park. Nice to meet you Adrian E hopefully at an proper 8 meet next time.
