I need to see what I'm doing that day but my boss is really keen on me taking an Audi down to one of these meets after I last suggested it, he brought the topic up last week. We've got a few brand new D4's on fleet, no S8 or W12 so not sure if it'd be worthwhile or do I just bring the '6? Will have a chat with him when back at work.

P.S We've just taken a lovely W12 D3 in, 'loaded' apparently, but I've not been in to see it yet, was mentioned to me at the Christmas party. I'm off for two weeks!!

This is one meet I might actually be able to make, though probably not to dine, rather a quick stop off to say hello.

I'm travelling from 'oop norf' to 'darn sarf' that weekend, taking my other half to visit her relatives in Southampton.

Coincidentally we'll be heading back to Bolton, right past that area, on our way home on the 28th, so it'd be rude not to call in. I'm not sure what time It'll be, but I would guess around 12-1pm, all being well.

I am very tempted, especially if Amar brings along a D4 or the RS6 of course.
But its so far!
No need to book for me, I may turn up if I can overcome my lazyness but wont be eating.

By all means bring along a D4 Amar, I think there'd be plenty that would like to see one - especially if your bosses are offering to "sponsor" the meeting by sending along a few Audi Freebies!

Bring em both... I really want to perv a bit harder at your 6, but other folk probably want to see the D4....

I'm happy to come to the dealership / you and pick up/return the D4 if it helps. I would genuinely like a spin in one..... It would be interesting to see how it contrasts to the D3 and A7......
