I didnt get any pics today as i seem to have misplaced the charger. But, it was a great visit again and there was a healthy selection of cars on display (although not the 350 that was expected - bit rude those who were booked to go but didnt as there was a keen reserve list). The factory tour was very interesting and well worth the donation to the Air Ambulance. Cant wait to see some pics below.

Yep, thoroughly enjoyed the event, thank you folk. I think one nice part of the works tour was that you went at your own pace rather than have a guide all the way through.

10 out of 10...

Just like to say thanks for organising another great Sunday Service.

Turnout was a little disappointing but there was enough interesting stuff on show to keep us occupied for a few hours.
The factory tour was well worth £5 of anyone's money and it was great that it was helping to keep the Sussex Air Ambulance in the air.

Thanks also go to those members of RR staff the took the time to make us feel welcome and enlighten us about the factory. (Not to mention those organising parking and refreshment).

Looking forward to seeing the photos.

Hi Eddie.

I saw your car but didn't see you. I got a few photos, I should be able to get them uploaded tomorrow.

A really really good meet, my first SS and really looking forward to the next one.

Sounds like a good one, shame I couldn't make it, stuck at sea on this bloody ship again, went last year and was gagging to get in the factory, maybe next year! Anyone buy any goodies from the gift shop? £125 quid for a key ring last year lol!

Here are mine, I was in the Red Megane just along from yours Eddie, had a good nosey around your car, as well as those belonging to the rest of the Audi boys (Ian & Dan), and your lovely T350 Adam, though I don't think I managed to get any pictures, was too busy out the back when I made my way around!
Nice morning, bit muggy though nowhere near as hot (almost unbearable) at the last one at M-B World! Had a great hoon over from Guildford via all the little villages over to Wisborough Green and through to Petworth etc... Always great to meet your people

Anyway, here are mine:

No one got any photos of mine except for me! smile

Just realised I can put those photos in a slideshow, much nicer! Here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51802421@N08/sets/721...

Waugh-terfall - How are you hotlinking the photos from FlickR to PH now they've changed how it all works? I can't seem to be able to grab a link to the actual image anywhere.

Also, how are you uploading them? I'm uploading them straight from Aperture 3 on my iMac using the FlickR uploader which comes with it. They look crystal clear and really sharp in Aperture on my iMac, but looking at them in the slideshow on my work computer they look really soft and fuzzy - any ideas? Yours look really sharp.

Yours was the Nogaro S4 Avant? If it was around the side (THINK it was) then it was one of the shots after the Blue RS2, I must have fingered the lens after those as every other photo after that for a bit had huge smudge marks over them furious school boy! So sorry about that! smile

Flickr's gotten a little over-complicated when it comes to hotlinking, which is annoying... Basically, from the Photostream, click the desired image, you'll get a bigger version and the mouse pointer should appear as a magnifying glass, right click and it'll give you the size options, click the one you want, and you end up where you would have been after one click on the 'old' Flickr...

As for uploading, I just log in and click on the Upload Photos and Videos under the YOU tab and upload through the uploader on the actual site

Hope this helps

Cheers, thanks for that. I might try exporting from Aperture to my desktop then and try uploading that way. See if it looks any different. It might be the way Aperture compresses the photo when it uploads.

Mine is the nogaro S4, yes(look in my profile). No worries, I have hundreds of photos of my car anyway. Nice to know someone appreciated an old Audi estate in the car park amongst all the exotica! biglaugh

Liked it a lot, bit of an Audi lad myself! I got a good laugh every time I looked back towards my car, tucked between some nice TVRs, next to the Phantom Coupe along from Eddie's RS6 Not sure it could have looked more out of place if it tried. Might get some R26.R decals to stick on for laughs for the next one! hehe

It seems the photos exported from Aperture manually then uploaded to Flickr using the online Flickr uploader are quite a lot better quality actually, although it takes ages.

This photo was uploaded using the Aperture built in uploader...



And this photo was exported and then uploaded using Flickr online uploader....
