We are hoping that there will be a get together with BBQ. Some of the day is spent talking 8s with a bit of 'you show me yours and I'll show you mine'!

We also will be doing 3 events. A VagCom brief followed by some demonstrations.

A detailing demonstration with proper washing, compound polishing and products to use.

If there is time there will be a 3rd event which will be a practical demonstration of a maintenance routine that will save money.

More to follow.

Been lookin at the numbers of people, looks a good amount.
So who is could at drawing plans on here??. I know what u thinking wheres this going LOL, Well with a bit of thought and planing im sure theres enough of us to make a A8 sign with cars and get one of the foto people on here to get some good shots of it from a glider, if not my uncle whos a pilot there could poss take some for us as he is foto buff.
Thats if Tony agrees

P.S as we got the colours of cars on list it can be made so the colours r evened out to make it even better hence the planning. Just a thought thats all.
