**GTi Festival, Santa Pod 13th October - Rained Off, Sorry**

[richie2480]

Well I'm here. I'll wave the flag. GTiRob93 is not happy. I've just met up with him at the Pod. He drove 3.5hrs from Bournmouth. Think I'll have a bacon roll and a cup of tea. There is still quite a turnout.

Well today was pretty much a wash out after all. There were 3-4 non food stalls and those that were there were non VW. All the permanent food stalls at end of drag strip were closed. There was still a turn out for the "show'n'shine". Guys busy wiping down there cars under an umbrella in the rain :-).
Did meet Mike Brewer though (Wheeler Dealers). He was doing a shoot for the new "Wheeler Dealers-Trading Up" show. At 11am there was just me from Bozeat(5mins away) and Rob from Bournmouth(3.5hrs). It was his first VW show as well, sorry Rob. You're going to have to wait till next year now.

Me and Mike

Well done for flying the flag for the guys that showed up. I finished work at 6am this morning, looked at the forecast and then went to bed. Really wanted to get the motor down the strip again this year, but it wasn't to be. Gives me a chance to do a few tweak over the winter ready for next year.

Gtirob93, email me your postal address and I'll send you some site merchandise stuff for setting the record for committed/disastrous show appearance!

Well done to Richie and Rob, sorry we didn't make it but the plan is to kick off at the season opener in April.

Fingers, legs, arms, eyes crossed the weather will be good for then.
