<b>A Midsummer Audi Night's GTG</b>

<b>Date: August 8th
Time: 5:30PM to whenever
Location: Uno's, Bear Hill Road, Waltham, MA</b>

We are meeting at the Waltham Uno's on Bear Hill Road for some meeting and some eating. As we did at the last GTG here, we'll have a "Best of Model" and "Best of Show" contest, but this time we were able to round up a few prizes. In addition, we will have a few door prizes open to all Audi-owner attendees.

With about a week to go, we have a pretty good list of attendees, but a bit thin on the A3 and A8 folks. Here are the attendees to-date.

<b>Best of Model and Best of Show Contest</b>

Get your cars cleaned up and ready for another "Best of Model" contest like we had last time. Judging will be based on various criteria, but be assured that cleanliness is one of them! The model categories are:

Best A3
Best A4 (B5, B6, B7 will all be judged together)
Best S4 (B5, B6, B7 will all be judged together)
Best A6/S6/RS6/allroad
Best TT
Best A8
Best Old School

Please note: Winners from the last GTG are ineligible. Here is a list of last April's winners:

Best A4: (tie) DosQuattros / A4AdMan
Best S4: Stoplitz
Best A6/S6/RS6/allroad: nene
Best A3:rastheimer
Best A8: Non-Turbo Tom
Best TT: (tie) MEEM / alms_TT_ny
Best "Old School": QU4TRO (C4 S4 from NH)

In order for your car to qualify for judging it <b>must</b> be at the GTG by 6:30pm as judging will close shortly there after.

Once we determine the 7 "Best of Model" cars we will have a vote (by show of hands or other method TBD) to determine the "Best of Show" winner. Prizes??? <a href="mailto:Phil@eastarsinc.com">Phil Yiu</a>, the Northeast distributor of Adams Polishes, has made a generous donation of some very nice detailing products for prizes (more info on those later). For other prizes, SmokinS4â„¢ has received two pair of wheel storage bags from <a href="http://www.rimandwheelworks.com/">Rim and Wheel Works</a> in Waltham, and I will talk to our friends at Bernardi to see if they are interested.

<b>I have NOT received any responses about volunteering to be judges. If there are no judges, there will be NO contest!</b> Please reply <a href="http://forums.audiworld.com/newengland/msgs/38795.phtml">here</a> or e-mail me at bostondriver@gmail.com if you are interested in being a judge.

<b>Parking</b>

We'd like to keep all cars as far away from the restaurant as possible so we leave as many spaces as possible close to the restaurant for regular patrons. I know this has been said before, but...one space per car please. <b>This map might be revised shortly, so please check back here sometime later this week</b>

A6/allroad/S6/RS6: Park against the rock wall closest to Bear Hill Road.
A3/TT/A8: Park against the rock wall closest to the highway.
A4 (B5, B6, B7): Park in the two rows immediately across from the A6/S6/RS6/allroad group.
S4 (B5, B6, B7): Park in the two rows immediately across from the A3, TT, A3 group.
Old School and the non-audi attendees: Park in the row of spaces nearest and parallel to the highway.

Here is the overhead shot of the parking diagram:

The PiMp just loves losing in competitions ;(

but it will certainly make us re-define the future contests. I do not have you listed as coming, as I am unaware of a reply in any of the previous posts that you are attending...

Are you attending???

and they are going to put some stuff together for us. No detils yet, but as soon as I find out, I will update the post.

so your A4 will be up against other A4s (B5, B6, and B7). This makes it easier, as we do nto have to look at 60+ cars to determine which one is the cleanest. But don't fret..."clean" is most definitely one of the main criteria for the model contest.

UNLESS someone else clicks in b4 I do. I don't think I would want to win by default; that's about as pathetic as always losing.

I might attend with some authentic germans I have visiting that week. The car I take might be a 4 cylinder gas sipper ... Hehe will see what mood I'm in.

Trying to get her all prettied up for TT east

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and leave the shotgun at home, don't want to scare off the young folks LOL!!!

Or draw unwanted attention from the Waltham police.
