J_C Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 You're welcome to put the A8 on our display Jim, there'll be quite a few others to keep it company by the looks of it! I'll PM you my mobile number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starperformance Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 My plan is to arrive about 11.30am it is a long journey but this A8 is a fantastic car to drive. It has the 3.0 diesel engine & all the goodies. Just fits into my garage at home. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 OK, this is a definite no show for the S4 (they're keeping it for a week ), so definitely no track for me tomorrow So look out for the brightest blue, full Audi dealer livery A4 Avant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kite Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Well done to John and Bub @ the concours John I think you need to chrome your spare wheel set. You A8 boys know how to have fun Caddy and I had a great day, good to see everyone. White A5 diesel, a car to die for, especially with all those options. What a great drive home Techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 [ QUOTE ] What a great drive home Techie [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, it was good! As mentioned, well done again to JC and Avus, and thanks to Techie for the ride to and around Castle Combe. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure11 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 What a cracking day out that was and great to meet more fellow tyremokers. Can't remenber the last time I asked if I had had a bowel failure. Fortunately my passenger was able to confirm it was the brakes! Which was funny cause at the time I thought I didn't have any and thats was why I was going into the esses so fast!!!! Great day out. When's the next?

craigyb Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Sorry I couldn't make it guys, was on call and got dumped on with a load of work this weekend. Gotta pay for the new S8 somehow. Hope you all had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A8_Tony Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Got back about 1/2 hour ago. Long trek, off to bed now Bloody great day out, managed to get the car sideways , and 2 track sessions Thanks to all who organised pitches and passes. Here's to the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Top day and top result in the rugby to round it off! Good to see such a good turnout and to meet some more TSN'ers. Thanks to J_C for sorting out the passes and congratulations to both you and Avus_Bub on your concours results (even if John had gone AWOL for the presentation). mgoliver - your A5 is a beautiful car and may yet make me think again about the whole A5/S5 dliemma. It looked fantastic behind us on the parade lap. Kite - top little blast on the way back there apart from the usual middle lane hogs and the muppet in the Civic TypeR who seemed to be asleep in the fast lane. Was finding it very hard to lay off the throttle at times. Will sort through the pics tomorrow and see if any are worth keeping but in the meantime, car of the day was:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avus_Bub Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 We had a great day Good to meet a few more TSN'ers Some great track action too. I'm sure the Apollo sucked a couple of small children in when it went past once.......... Good to see that monster RS4 keeping it honest for a few laps though!! I enjoyed the little 2 lap blast, er, I mean parade laps at the end too. Ben, I hope the brakes were ok on the way home JC, you only beat me by 14000 miles!! TBH I was well stressed this morning fussing and fecking about with the car. Sorry if I appeared rude to anyone Jim, I hope you enjoyed the day. Thanks for putting me in touch with the KW guys, I hope to have an answer next week BUB Now where's the nearest platers................? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Top pic of that Apollo - Didn't it sound awesome on track!! Did you take any pics of my carbon? I was 'otherwise engaged' all day and didn't get around to taking any pics except just one of my friend enjoying herself! People in the GTI forum are asking for pics . Great day! Btw, Amanda was fastest lady of the day on the Audi TT cone course (She's not competitive, though ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 ....Cheers Bub Nice pic. I know someone who'll be pleased to see evidence of her cleaning skills .

techieboy Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Here's another one, showing a bit more of the bonnet (and a rather horrified friend). Had a long lens on the camera at the time so couldn't capture everything in it's full glory but, at least it looks red in this pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
