Thanks again to all who came. An amazing turnout somewhere in the neighborhood of 75 to 80 cars. Plus a beautiful late afternoon and early evening. No rain, except for a few sprinkles at around 9:30pm as MEEM and I were chatting in the parking lot.

Thanks also to everyone who stayed for dinner at Uno's. I spoke to one of the wait staff and they were really happy with how busy we kept them.

I'll admit that I was really nervous about the parking situation, but in the end I think everything worked out fine. I wish the parking by model could have worked out better, it did to a point, but in reality there were to many other patrons at the restaurant and at some point I was like what the hell it's every Audi for themselves.

Many, many thanks go out to the following people:

Boston Driver, who secured the location for us.

The contest judges:
FinallyS4
doctorno
stoplitz
sbh tuned
audisnawb

Plus the group from the NAAC.

Here are a couple of pics that I took of the group.

Pic came out way to dark to use, SORRY

Thanks again for everyone who came. I wish I could have met/spoken to more of you but so many people so little time. Hope to see you in June at the KTR event or at one of the upcoming NAAC events.

As far as the next "Big One" for our group, I am thinking late July/early August.

I am glad that I was able to finally make it, although I missed the "best-of-show" contest...although it is hard to compete against perfection (nene's RS6 as usual took top honors in the class). Well, at leat I got to park next to his car!

Here are a few of the pics that I took this evening...

My late arrival...washed, clayed, waxed, etc...VVRRRROOOOM!!!

Mr. Lee, right before he took my pic standing on that fence...

...some more cars, and either an intimate moment or an argument...you decide!

...I think it was not an argument, or they made up pretty quickly...

...some more cars, and that HAWT A3 roofline...

...some more cars...no cuddling here...

Okay, so I found a spot...next to nene's RS6 (RSSIX, great plate!)...at least I got to compare the spoilers and exhaust...but his wheels...NICE!!!

Our matching spoilers, but my car just pales in comparison...at least I know it was mounted correctly...

Then, TeddyBGame arrived with his new Recaro seats...

Thanks Dave for organizing this one! Great turnout, and I wish I could have stayed for dinner. Nice to see several familiar faces, and to meet a few new folks today. I am looking forward to our next big GTG, which is KTR in June (under the care of A4Rye). Then the Larz Anderson Museum for German Car Day. After that, maybe another Uno's run in late-July or early-August???

Hope everyone had a good time and a safe drive home!!!

meem

nice wrap-up and great job putting this together! thanks!

Boston Driver

I wonder what you will pull out of your arsenal to reclaim the top spot...

A4AdMan

acting as "ring leader". When I got home tonight and saw that I only had 12 pics I was shocked.

Glad you could make it.

A4AdMan

Thanks and it was nice chatting with you tonight about offset, mods and everything else.

meem

i think at all previous meets my cars have been disqualified for one reason or another ;-) in this case, i showed up late (6:20), which i thought would be sufficient to disqualify me, but it seems not :-O

meem

likewise :-) your car is getting better and better

meem

washed his car when he got home from the meet :-)

(i wish i could say i was kidding)

A4AdMan

I wish I could throw 3 grand at it right now and be done with it but alas I will still be in tortise mode. Slow and true.
