It was really nice to see You all and our stand was one of the best in my opinion
Really nice cars there. Venue itself was not what I expected, really unorganized and some arrogant people out there - Audi Allroad club member with dirty car at the cue and Audi A2 owner playing annoyingly loud music he liked. And terrible toilets. But at the end it was nice day out with my family surrounded by nice classic Audis and them owners Was proud to be the only V8 out there As my hands there busy with little ones, did not have chance to take many photos.. |

So verdict on AITP9 it was fantastic barring niggles about the entrance & getting over 2,000 Audi's through a single gate led to some impatience, even some flared tempers with some marshall's being verbally abused and even sworn at. Not necessary and shameful behavior at what is supposed to be an enthusiast event. After leaving the main road and entering Deene Park it all looked very nice and as we came over a bridge on the single track road we were met with sight a upward sloping hill with 9 long rows of Audi's at a standstill. WTF was the initial reaction but then everyone was in the same boat. It was so slow that you could get out and walk about, We had Neil Birkett, editor of Audi Driver magazine behind us so after having a pleasant chat with him, jumped back in moved another 20 feet, jumped back out seeing other members in other queues, Coxy, Kully and several more. Eventually got in (it took an hour) and found our plot where several members were already there, it was a bit squashed but we got everybody in. The other niggle was the too few portaloo's which resulted in long queues for those too. This was by far the biggest AITP ever and I'm sure Calvin and his crew will have learned quite a lot of lessons from the experience, a new venue is always going be a suck it and see situation.
So to the photos, a few us met at the retail park off J27 M62 at 7:00 - us, Dave & Angie Ditchfield and a beautiful B2 80 Sport, Lewis in his 90, Richard Ward in his stunning B4 Coupe and John (JML) and Nicki in their Cabby. At Trowell Services we met Specky and Dave Thorhill in his swb recreation and Carl Waldron in his Cabby. On coming off the motoway we met at a roundabout few more Robert in Tun's old 90 20V Sport and Maciej Gaca in his C4 Avant and couple of A seres A4 Avants after some rather shall we say spriited driving we arrived at the entrance. Official Entry Photo's could be purchased inside here we have us, Lewis 90 and Rod Inwood (Couperman) The queue (there was a A5 at the back of one of the rows and the number plate was FFS Which made me chuckle ) The Classic Audi Stand and other cars that caught my eye For me the highlight of our stand were these two beauties (Garry Hoey & Ozzie) Best of Show - original genuine Sport quattro The end, Huge Thanks to everyone to came and supported Classic Audi and see you all next year

Great photos David
Weather was great to got burnt to prove it We had a great day I was like a kid in a toy shop Some great cars on the classic Audi stand Car done over 900 miles and never missed a beat so I am happy with that for a 30 odd year old car And mine was covered in paw prints from a cat and could not find a car wash that was open Hope to be there next year with a BBQ and decent seats
