Bru Guy Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 HI There folks. Just picked myself up a 97 S8 (childhood dream finally realised) so looking for tips & tricks. Meet sounds interesting. Are you planning anything further north? Are there any Scottish members here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A8_Tony Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 You've gotta check out the map There are a number of Scottish members. The A8OC is planning a number of events throughout the year. The most northern one so far will be the Yorkshire Tour, which is pencilled in for September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bru Guy Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Cheers for that. Map unfortunately aint working, maybe its my browser. Spotted a few fellow scots on the roll call though. Would be nice to get a convoy to Yorkshire in sept!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A8_Tony Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I've had some updates regarding the venue and costs to hold the meet there. Charges on the day will be £10 per car. That's £10 per car. Don't care how many people you have inside This is significantly better than Billing, as they wanted to charge us for the pitch, plus £10 on the gate!!!

IceBlue8 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Sorry - the missus has said I can go alone! So that's one less for catering. Anyone for a convoy from Scotland?
