Nice pictures. :cool2:

Small turn out but it's good for the first official meet, great work by Finnus on the organising front. :0:

So, the question is, when's the next meet going to be? :D

:cheers:

[Finnus]

There's something pretty cool about seeing an RS6 hunkered down in front of or behind you while driving. It gives you a whole different perspective on the car's visual appeal.

So you can put a face with the names, order of owners in the picture from left to right (by RS6 ID):

John Hulbrock (John) - Daytona Gray
Finnus (Bob) - Muguello Blue
Nene (Nelson) - Daytona Gray
Speedracer (John) - Porsche 911 SC


looks like you guys had a blast

We did!



So, the question is, when's the next meet going to be?

There was some talk of meeting closer to NYC late fall for a romp through the Catskills ...

Thanks for the pictures Karman & Nelsons!!! Great to meet everyone.

Nice pictures Karman! Thanks for taking good car of my car so I could get to drive Nelson's. Cooper and I had a blast. (That was him you overheard in one of the videos telling me to sell the house and go buy the RS6.)

I've been trying to reach Greg Haymann at Autofirme to tell him about our stop, but his message recorder is full so he must be on vacation.
I have some great places and roads in mind for the next meet although no compaints about this one.

That must have been a 540i Sport :hihi:

Nice pics! Next time lets do a joint RS6.com and M5BOARD.com meeting :0:

Finnus:
Thanks so much for taking the initiative of putting this get together in motion. It was not very large showing, but I hope you realize that we did have a blast nonetheless. Although I'm all the way in Boston, I'm willing to represent my town if meets do occur in the NE area as much as possible. Thanks for taking time off your busy schedule to show us Western MA/Eastern NY!!!

Karman:
Thanks so much for coming, and taking the pix. Your presence was greatly appreciated. Great meeting you, and if you ever come to Boston, I'm one more friend you can contact.


John (aka speedracer):
Thanks so much for allowing me to take a ride on your SC beast. It was really wonderful to ride on a real sports car. Love the sound, inside the cabin and outside. Really thanks again.

John Hulbrock:
Thanks for coming to meet with us and shoot the breeze. Really sorry you could not make the afternoon drive/lunch, but it was great to meet you. Looking forward to future meets.


Thanks to all again for your support on this drive and fun factor provided.

[Speedracer]

Thanks for taking time off your busy schedule to show us Western MA/Eastern NY!!!

And Northwestern CT!

Gustav,

Absolutely! As I stated from the start, I would love to see some M3s, M5s, E & S55s as well as Prosches, S4s (new or old), etc. Any performance car and anyone interested in the same!!!

Nelson,

It was my pleasure. I hope I can help out again. John (Speedracer, let's start planning the next one ...)

I'm always grateful for whoever shows up, even if it was only one other person. It's a half empty half full point-of-view. I think the comments and pics say it all.

As it was, everyone was great and, yes, it was a blast! My friend Mike was ecstatic about the whole day and the chance to drive the beast.

:cheers:

I hope for one of our meets in the future, we can get the full range of colors. Red and green are going to be the tough ones. I think JJV-MA has a silver beast.

For the next meet, I will definitely help get the message out to some M5 boardmembers in the region.

:cheers:

[Finnus]

I've been talking up the next event to some of my contacts. I've gotten real interest from the owners of BMW M3, Murcielago and a Viper ...

John (Speedracer), any choices for dates?

Nice pics... I like the annotation: "John Holbruck(John)"


I'll be driving home in a special new beast of my own from Toronto later this Fall/early winter, on my way back to Nashville.
It's kinda out of the way, but I thought I would take a drive around anyway. Maybe I can swing by NYC for a gtg at that point if you guys decide to set one up in November, late. Love to meet you guys, and it would be fun to share my new toy with some of you Audi heads.

How soon do you want to do it— before this winter? I'm always up for it.

I'll be driving home in a special new beast

What kind of beast? And what happened with the other one?
Speed :p

Excellent pictures! :addict:

[Mr. Fru-T Pants]

Well, had to give up on the RS. I think it's still for sale at Mohegan Lake. I need to call to check on its status, so I can try and get my deposit back. As for the new beast, I'll let it be a surprise, but suffice to say, it's a unique Audi with lots of potential. Needs some TLC and some fine-tuning, but nothing that a little time, effort, and dough can't cure. I have big plans for her, and have nicknamed her Wendy. I'd love to get together.
It will be up in the air as to when I can take possession, as I've a busy schedule this month, and a shop where the car is located is doing a bit of fab work for me. I'll keep you updated.

Peace,
Fru-T

We need some pics like those from Chicago, but if we don't hurry there will be too much snow covering the cars to tell whose is whose...

Great photos!

Hello all, sounds like you had lots of fun.

I live in Michigan, but would love to do a meet in the midwest area, maybe a compromise say Ohio, or Penn. The weather is cold, but not much snow yet. Please post details of the next meeting.

[Finnus]

Noushy,

You probably should start a new thread, otherwise, only people who posted on this one will be notified of your post (and even then, they may not look at it).
