Looks like another fun day had by all

Definitely need to get my backside to more meets this year.

My wife, who was deeply sceptical beforehand came away awesomely impressed by everyones technical knowledge of the cars.

It was really good to meet some fellow '8 owners and especially look at their cars; after driving mine for nearly 10 years I think it must be the first time I've ever knowingly spoken to another owner - apart from the guy I bought it from!

Note to self - must tidy up the engine bay......

PS The weather on the drive South down the M40 was atrocious, as I'm sure everyone else experienced, but the new winter tyres (and the S8 of course) behaved impeccably and felt totally "planted". The only vehicle that actually overtook us, in a particularly awful stretch, was a VW Bora! I passed it a bit later so I think it must have been going flat out all the time.

It was very good to see the pictures. It's a shame I couldn't make it this time. Happy New Year to everyone.

Hi guys,
echoing everyone else, a great meet, many thanks to the organisers. Lovely to place so many more faces to names!!

As and when I get my ramp set up, I'll be sure to take some pics, and obviously, those members local to me, should they have need of my help, then please be sure to pm me!

Just remains for me to wish forum members all a very Happy New Year!

Best regards,
Steve

Great to see everyone yesterday old and new faces

Think that was the best attended meet of the year, certainly of the ones I made it to?

Calendars are ace Guy, glad you had some spares! Maybe a3 as an option for pre-orders next year? The a4 will go nicely in the study

Glad I left when I did - didn't get home till 5.30 thanks to idiots on the m40 and m25

Till next year

Adrian
