I always wanted to see the black Audi wagon image. My understanding (could be way off) is that such a car left a pile of R Gruppies miffed by photobombing a gathering's class picture. Anyone have the image?

Somewhere on the West Coast, the R Gruppe had a get together and wanted to get a picture of all the cars together. Apparently they all drove to a parking lot to line up the cars for the shoot (not to be confused with spoons) and while this was in progress, a guy in a Black Audi Wagon got into the mix and refused to move out of the picture. At least, that is how I remember reading it. There are pictures around somewhere as well.

Best,
Tom

Close.

RGruppe reserved a lot at the hotel in Monterrey for parking and it was coned off. Someone with the BAW parked in the lot overnight and left it there for the duration of the weekend. Yes, it was slap in the middle of the lot so everyone parked up and down and all around it.

Tradition has it that a pic os "ducks in a row" is taken, but no row was available for that many cars. The founder and director of the RGruppe would not sanction a pic with the intruder car in the midst.

Some saw this as pretentious and it became folklore as far as the RGruppe influence goes. I was there.

What is annoying is the GD audio lane912 put here.
