[Oct 18, 2015] Birmingham Audi (Solihull) Dealership Meet (Part of the Lister... (Birmingham)

Popped over to Audi a few days ago to ask where we are all going to park and they told me they've been trying to get extra parking from us for ages but apparently someone at our place keeps telling them no so I doubt we'll be able to help.

Parking at our place isn't a problem got email confirmation last week, Sandra if it's needed I'll stick the location up.

Responded to the email this morning don't think I'm going to get a test drive I would imagine we all want Rs models lol

RS 3 for me, looks like one test drive.
Thank you Sandra :)

kind of hoping the majority of you guys are young pups under 25 thus increasing my chances of getting in an rs

Under 25 are not permitted to drive I think.
Yes that's what I mean, the more of you that are under 25 increases the chances for the old duffers such as myself

RS3 for me too. It'll be interesting to run an 8V RS3 back-to-back with BLUEY 8p. And I've already an 'old duffer' back-route planned - this being my last year to be regarded as such as come next April I'll move into the next category of 'no cars available for you sir thank you'. Yeh, right... :racer:

Yeah, but I doubt its the dealers choice on age restriction I bet its the insurance company. I'll be gutted if I don't get a test drive but will still be interested in putting some faces to the names and seeing other members cars.

If all else fails I'll ask @DieselJake to take me out for a spin in that insane car he has :grin:

It helps being an old duffer sometimes :)

Weather is looking good for the weekend too, well when I say good, I mean its going to be dry.

I just replied to the email with my name and number as requested.
 
Im sorry to say I'm getting the impression some of you not happy. Let me clear this up. Under 25 will get to drive some of the cars. It won't be RS cars though. The dealership will keep you right

I don't think anyone's unhappy Sandra, personally I'm looking forward to it whether I get a test drive or not

By the way I don't suppose anyone has vcds that they could bring along to this event? I have some stuff I'd like to investigate on my car if possible.

Just a quick question with the driving licence do we need just our photo card ?? As when I've test drove cars before there never even asked. I guess as I'm looking to buy they assume I have a full licence (which I do)

Well, as the paper counterpart is now dead, yep. but if you have both bring both :)
 
One test drive is not enough in my opinion

agree'd, Must admit,I was a little disappointed to read that. Especially given how hospitable Stafford, Stoke and Crewe have been in the past (albeit with accompanied drives in some cases).

Martin, if you take your photo card and a note of your national insurance number with you please.
