Top day out, although I knew that having been a couple of years back...

Given the generally bonkers nature of most of the cars there, I'll be languishing down the bottom of the table somewhere. However, I'm actually somewhat chuffed to have beaten the limiter by 1mph, with 156mph. Last run of the day too...

Not bad for a car with original engine, turbos, clutch, 'xorst, etc, and nearly 150k on the clock. :)

The other Audis present did, um, improve on my speed a little ;)

Nice to meet everyone too, even if I coulnd't keep everyone's name straight.

Yes, a great day was had by all. Our "luggage loaders" did us proud. I managed 174 just after the break.....

Nice to meet up with you all again. Roll on August for the next Vmax.........
