    R8 GT driving experience

    Had a call from Audi events this morning, I had been told by Jerry (jh001ace)
    had been invited to a Nurburgring R8GT driving experience next week, I contacted my Audi dealership to see why I had not been invited, I was told out of the 33 UK orders 8 customers had been picked out at random to attend & although I was not in the 8 I was in a reserve position if any invited could not make it, as it happens I got the call earlier to say I could go,

    so, next Tuesday they are sending a chauffeur to collect me, take me to Manchester airport and fly me to Frankfurt where another chauffer will take me to Nurburgring, dinner with the others & R8 team, hotel and then the next day a full GT track experience & then return home.

    I am very happy I will get to drive the car before specking it up, Jerry, looking forward to meeting you there!

    Obviously i will post my views on the cars handling and hopefully some pics
