Or possibly some gokart racer?!? ;-)

Great seeing you all.

It's 40 degrees in Davis. COLD.

That's half of a GTG, getting to ogle everybody's rides. The other half of course is the eating, drinking, talking but it would be nice to be able to all park together.

Good to meet some new people, see the new A3 3.2 Quattro and see the many Audi's parked around the side streets. Very cool!

I was very tempted but chose to save it for another time rather than possibly spread my cold around. Good job on continuing these gtg's as it will truly strengthin a truly great group of enthusiasts. My daughter just came home from Davis and it's just as fvcking cold here! Have a good weekend...till Thunderhill!!!

-and yea we need to rope that lot off 'Audi Parking only'
:)

Next time I wanna hear the full back. ;-)

I'm thinking about Thunderhill seriously now. Is it worth it for someone who's never been on the track before?

BTW my burger was amazing. I'll be back there again.

Shoot me an email and I'll keep you posted on the exhaust progress.

I'll now keep my eyes peeled in the Palo Alto/mid-peninsula area for my Nogaro twin!

union square & height/ashbury was a MESS.

sitting next to me upstairs?

i was the long-haired asian guy with a scraggly goatee.

well!

A LOT of fun. You can't even imagine actually. I was on a high for a week after, at least!

I assume that means I'm gonna get to *drive* my car. I'm really looking forward to finding out what it can really do. Do I need better tires, brake pads or anything? I've still got stock everything after all this time, so a couple upgrades wouldn't be out of the question if that would help...

of prior to the event, but if you're servicing your car regularly, you'll be fine!

you'll be finding out more about what you can do vs. the limits of the car.

yes, even in stock form.

for example, i was a passenger while Randy Pobst drove my car around Infineon/Sears Point on street tires. i thought the tires were squealing during my sessions and about to break loose while i was driving (i lost the rear-end a bit earlier in the day), but he was taking the turns so much faster.

go, have fun, learn, drive within yourself and as you get a better feel for your machine, you will drive faster <b>and</b> smoother.

to on our B6 S4s. Our brakes are more than adequate, bite well, and you will most likely not push them enough to make them fade.

I will be pushing harder this time, so I'll really get to see how the stock pads hold up at their limit.

I read someone's account of a 2000 B5S4 on thunderhill that said the stock rotors/pads couldn't keep up, but if you have experience with the B6 stockers faring ok, then I'll take it as is.
