Did the shopping in mine today and spared a thought for you as I took a 10 mile detour home. These cars are so good, worth a small bag of peanuts judging by the prices on ebay mind, but quite magnificent nonetheless. Even if I should fail to get rid of mine I shall be content, wrong bloody colour and all.

Wife psychology is thus: Spending 2 grand on the current one to bring it to Spec of S = bad. Spending 2 plus what I get for mine on an S8 = fine. ?????

Sounds like all had fun, must admit that I am not the most sociable of bunnies but once the dust has settled I would like to engage a little more with people. If only to escape the fun that is exam season

Looks like you all had a great time, pics are superb.

I planned on making it down today but we all know what happens when you make plans!

Look forward to the next meet.

Glad everyone had a good time - wish I could've got there....

Was in Swindon for Sunday and ended up wasting half a tank of v-power getting there and back for it to pee down most of the day, when I was racing my rc nitro buggy - went home early when I broke it good and proper and ended up stuck in traffic jams on the M4, going through Bracknell and on the M25

Hi Guys,

Just to echo the sentiments of other good ole boys here, A HUGE THANK YOU to the organisers, and also to the last men standing when I finally caught up with you in the bar at Stoneleigh.

As I attempted to explain I had come directly from work, so sorry for any embarrassment caused to others to be seen drinking with a Sainsburys employee!!!LOL

Lovely to finally put some faces to names, and I sincerely hope to meet many more at Audis in the park, if not before.

I hope everyone got home safely, and enjoyed themselves in Warwickshire and neighbouring counties.

Best Regards to all,
Steve

As we have met in Warwickshire and are going to Ireland later this year, we are thinking about an Annual meet in BLACKPOOL AND THE LAKE DISTRICT next year, with a later trip to Sconny Botland, to be known as ExplorA8tion Scotland!
