Just to even things up a bit I awarded Amar 5 Infraction Points. That makes him the most evil member of our forum!
The infraction was awarded for exsesive jamminess.............

I'm really looking forward to it. They sent me a really cool invitation that's plastic, shows the head up display in action. I think I'm testing it vs the BMW,Merc & Jag rivals and as I have no brand loyalty to any of the aforementioned expect an unbiased report to follow. I've tried asking if others can come along but it's a strict no from Audi, only if you got an invitation and no guests.
Mike - you gave me spamy points not jammy points!! I don't spam Top spec D2 for sale PM for more info

Well. I'm going to take a different line, being that everyone has beaten me to the envy stuff
This could not happen to a nicer guy or finer member of this forum. We can all bask in the happy knowledge that Amar's proven track record of first rate reporting will bring us all a taste of the insights, joys and fun that he'll be enjoying Have a brilliant time Amar ps i could fit in your luggage

Thanks Nick, with that V10 S8 of yours you know the whole forum envious the hell out of you already!
I'll get better pictures this time round hopefully. It's in the UK not Germany guys. Still looks like it's going to be a great day.

Saw the most awesome looking grey S Line A1 the other day, I can't bring myself to pay D3 S8 money for one though. It reminded me of this trip and how the A1 would be a really funky daily driver. I'll let them depreciate a bit first.
