Audi Driver 2008 International & Awards Gala Dinner

[PhilT]

I've emailed all those that provided details, and the passes have gone out today by garanteed delivery by tomorrow 1pm.

If you wish to attend, but do not have a club stand pass, there may be the opportunity to squeeze a couple of additional cars on the stand. These will have to be first come, first served as space is limited.

Thanks Phil - Pass arrived today.

[BigMo]

probably a bit late here phil but is there room for a lowly rs6 at last minute? Looking to get there for 10ish and away for 2 latest. Much appreciated fella!

[dubbers]

Amazing day! Weather was perfect, blue skies, 18c and great visibility. Some great sounding cars going round the track, kept me & mrs + our 9 month old baby girl entertained. Cheers mac4RS & otherhalf for making us welcome.

Here are some fairly ropey camera phone photo's of the RS246 entourage....





The picture was so bad (yes, shooting into the sun - i know ) that I pressed the arty button on vista.

[PhilT]

Thanks Dubbers. Glad you had a great day.

Again, many thanks to mac4RSand RS4Steve for "holding the fort"

Many thanks from SR_71 & myself Phil, passes arrived Friday morning.

Only made it for a few hours in the afternoon but was nice to meet you Mac4RS, other half & friend and thanks for the T-Shirt - I think it will definately need a hot wash or two! Also nice to meet you Marky aka Fort Knox!

[starmist]

Had a great day, 1st time on track with S3, lots of nice cars there.

[Marky]

Fort Knox LOL

Thanks guys, great day, can't wait until next year. Really nice to put some faces to names.

[mac4RS]

Great day, great weather, great people, great cars - is there anything else I could add?

It was a pleasure to assist with the 246 stand (I didn't do alot - got addicted to the track...), but I think I met most of you, so I can now put a face to the names.

The positioning of the stand was excellent - both convienent for 'popping-out' to the track and for viewing.

A BIG thanks to PhilT of 246 for arranging this event and an even BIGGER one for the T-shirts and Tops supplied.

Nice meeting you starmist and your Dad again - he looked VERY quick on the track.

''Marky - can you clean your car before come to one of the events again''? It just looked sooo dirty...

''Oh & rs4Steve, your car was really really quick - but next I wont slow down to let you past me''

Kind Regards,

Mac
