Title: Where you from?
Post by: Si on 11 October 2005, 18:09
As the subject says really, 'where you from?'

Im from Cleeve, a little town between Bristol and Weston Night-mare (Weston Super-mare)!
Cleeve has got a pub, a post office, and a few houses owned by wee-smelling coffin dodgers.
.....FOR LOCALS ONLY   :laugh:

I live in Greenock, its about 20 miles west of Glasgow situated on the river Clyde. Not a bad wee town got a great football team Greenock Morton FC. not a bad dub scene either with your usual 8 n 16v mk 2s a couple of mk3 vr6 and a mk2 vr6.

Sunny Bridgwater in Zummerzet 'ere... There's loads of twisties round and about. Oh and a place called TSR - heard of it?

One of my favourite roads is 'Seven Bends' on the A372 near a place called Othery www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=51.0751&lon=-2.8721&scale=25000&icon=x (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=51.0751&lon=-2.8721&scale=25000&icon=x)

And although it's only about 3/4 mile through all the twisties I can honestly say I held an Escort Cossie from getting past me all that time in my Mk2! I was racing a mate in another mk2 going back to his house from TSR in town so we were full of it when this Cossie appeared outta nowhere!! lmao! God I love that road!  :laugh:

Sunny Basildon, just down the road from the birthplace of Chavism - Southend -on-Sea (By the way I ain't no Chav, you can tell cos I got a decent motor) This place is crawling Water Cooled Dubs and they look down at us golfs  :angry:

Theres plenty of Golfs around her but most them keep themselves to themselves. I pop down the seafront occassionally for cruise, theres always a massive turnout with a few Golfs from outof town. Don't know his name but theres a guy from Guildford with a lovely original MK1 1600 gti if anyone recognises the description let me know.

Other than that Baz is about the closest in Rochester, and his right thats full of bloody Chavs aswell.

Anyone want meet up PM me - lonely V dub fan, looking for friendship (must be interested in dubs).

Ha I am at teesside uni and blatantly refuse to leave my car anywhere apart from the cctv ridden, security guard patrolled union car park! I tried to leave it on a backstreet once but the site of a gang of so called 'chavs' made me give in and go and move it!

Saw a lovely slammed corrado with a 'Section5' sticker in the car park on monday...   Made my car look even taller than usual! lol

And if you find a vw meeting anywhere close let me know, my mate and i will bring our mk2s. We have been up to the meet in durham on sundays in the summer but the vw showing was pretty poo. About 5 of maybe 200 were vw's. very nice mk1 but that was all that stood out - well other than the travesty of a mk3 with an awful bodykit!  :grin:

Oh and how could i forget to give Keith Barber a mention at www.thornhillautos.com probably one of the most knowledgeable on the VW scene over the last 50+ years and holds nearly anthing you cherish for your beloved Dub.

Been here 3 1/2 months now tho and have settled in fairly well. Got a lovely flat with fantastic sea views, right next to the golf course i play and work at. And im makin regular trips back to the motherland whenever i can, to see the family, play in tournaments and hopefully visit a few more shows than last year!

Cool bro thanks for the welcome, acually the VW scene around Southern California isn't that big. it's mostly air cooled, i don't see too many watercooled VW's rolling around, it's mainly asian imports (Hondas,Toyotas,mazdas,nissans, ect....) i'm starting to realize how expencive VW's are i need a fuel pump right now i priced it , it's $300.00 dollars! compared to $65.00 Dollars on my honda.

I live in Kelso.  It's in the Scottish Borders.  We're about 50 miles from Edinburgh.  It's a nice enough town.  It's very popular with tourists which makes Kelso a nicer place in the summer.  The streets are cobbled which is bad news for my car.  Your heart will sink when you first take your new car through the town and it shakes itself to pieces.  It's got all the usual stuff you'd expect in a medium sized town.

Looks like a lot of work going into the mk2 in your sig! And yes, a driver's seat from a UK car will go straight into yours allowing you to have height adjust on your passenger side :wink:

Hi guys,

I'm 22 and I drive a MK2 GTi 8V, and I'm on the fence whether or not to buy a Civic Type R or MK2 16v, and as seeing as I've never had a chance to sit in either or had someone take me round the block, I was wondering if anybody would be kind enough to take me out in theirs so I can put my mind at rest!

I live in Chester, but can meet people half way to save on juice


Cheers

Hi. I've just put in a deposit on a 1992 Mk2 GTI 16v in Manila, the Philippines, so might just be the furthest from Britain of anyone posting yet.
I am from Sheffield originally though.

Golfs are very rare here, I've yet to see one driving around, though there are apparently about a hundred in the country, mainly imported 2nd hand from Germany. The guy I am buying mine from has 3 others (2 mk2s and a mk1) and is buying a mk3 for some reason.

This will be mine in 2 or 3 weeks, just enough time for him to put the stock wheels back on instead of the silly oversized alloys that don't fit the wheel arches.  :rolleyes:

See the vintage Alpine audio, which was installed in 1985 !
It is now replaced by an actual SD/MP3 audio and new carpets have also taken place instead of these on the pic  :tongue:
Cheers Vincent
