I think there are a few hundred.  I don't think The Plough in Hickling is known 
for its food.  The beer is good, though.  (Theakstone's XB, 6X, etc.)

It is.  You were quite near to me, as well.  Rutland is being restored to its 
historic position as England's smallest county - I pass through Oakham on my 
way from Kettering to Hickling on the second Thursday of each month.

I regard _that_ comment as proof positive that you were really here.

You'd have to ask our membership secretary.  Bear in mind that the "UK quattro 
Owners Club" is primarily for _ur-quattros_.  We have comparatively few members 
with other forms of quattro - indeed, although we have more urqs than the USA, 
the "quattro concept" in normal road cars seems less popular here than in the 
USA.
