SilverSoop Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hi all, well...i left A.W.E on Friday at 10.00 after signing off and giving my pass and car pass back which was a nice bonus... So, i got to Colbournes Audi in Basingstoke at 8.00 in the morning and when i first got in, guess what was staring at me?? A black Audi R8 for sale at £91,995! Bargain, frankly! I was with my manager until 1.00pm because thats when we all finish on a saturday, i was trying to learn all the computer systems which i will have to deal with, and was trying to get to grips with productive marketing which i will be undertaking in the near future too... My manager gave me 2 pieces of good news, when i first got to work, i commented on the brand new Audi TT 3.2 quattro, and he said "have you ever driven one of those"? Obviously, i said no, so he said..."well, im sure we can sort that out"...Cool... And the best bit is when he said about my training, i will have to go away on business twice next month, one for my Health and Safety training and the other, i will be going to GERMANY to have my induction training and i will get to visit the factory also so i can see all the new Audi's coming out! Im thinking...Audi R8 V10... Also when i go to Germany next month, my flight, accomodation is all paid for...its only my very first day, but i already love it there lol...

I have 'done' the RS4 and the S8, but no R8 or RS6 as of yet (Jodie says hello to you and Gemma ) Cheers Andy mate! Say hi to Jodie from me and Gemma please matey... Yeh pop down mate if you have the chance too... Good news, i might have to go up Camberly for a week for training so i might see you up there lol... As i said to you on the phone mate, the RS6 is mental, for such a big car, the way it handles and the way it accelerates is just simply amazing! Hopfully, i'll get the RS6 for a demo car to drive around in a couple of weeks... I havnt had a go in the R8 yet but im sure that time will come my friend... Are you going to Santa Pod andy??
