Default Rhu Marina 35 Years of Quattro (old video found)

Just found this video on my PC and thought I would share, In 2015 Eddie Young organized an Audi meeting at Rhu Marina called 35 Years of Quattro, this was posted on classic audi forum but this video I don't think was posted, let me set the scene, a nice day was had by all with very good dry weather, Ed had someone bring up an early left hand drive Ur quattro and an S1 E3 original rally car from a collection in England, he had various people talking and an Audi dealer was there with cars for test drives, food and a disco at night, but he also arranged for a section of road to be closed by the MOD police for us all to have a drive/blast, in all it was agreed to have been a very good day, but Ed day was about to get even better, when the gent from England was packing the two cars away in the transporter Ed was asked if he would like a spin as a passenger round the gravel car park, well you should have seen the smile on his face getting into the Audi S1, I really don't know how he even got out of the car because his grin was that wide, the Audi S1 did have a clutch problem and a small stall did happen, need to stop babbling, click the link below and turn up the volume. Thanks Ed, errr, 40 Years of Quattro is closing in fast Ed had any thoughts of a repeat meeting?
