Had a fantastic weekend, big thanks to everyone that came and made it such a wonderful event. Great to see and meet so many new faces.
Congratulations to you Adam on winning a cup in the show n shine, well deserved. I'm so pleased all your efforts have been rewarded..........hope you're feeling a bit better now.
Hazel and the kids thoroughly enjoyed their first show and no doubt will come again...........I had a feeling this might be happen but Hazel is now dead serious about buying a camper!
I've got loads of pics to post, they'll be up later on after the GP and football.
Hope to see you all again soon ;)

I'm interested.........I probably can't afford to get something better than a wreck that needs loads of work, but what did you have in mind?

Hi Paul, glad you had a good time. It was good to see you again and you're more than welcome with the bacon butty and coffee.
Had a really good, quick and safe journey back.........the cabrio did us proud.
Wasn't the weather great today..........and I'm still managing to NOT get burnt........unlike last year ::)
-
I just want to reiterate what Rich has already said ... had a cracking weekend and loved every minute of if!! Sorry to the people we didn't get to say goodbye too, thanks for making it such a wonderful event.
I took shed loads of pics of the 'show and shine' so I'll post them up somewhere for people to have a look at.
Ads hope your feeling better too matey - that was some drinking session !!
See you all again soon I hope - Peace & Dubs ;D
(ps. for you guys who remember I bought the snooper S3 at the show .. after some crafty surfing on the web I managed to get the company on the stand to give me the model up (the S4 neo like Ads) for the same price !!! I'm well chuffed, found a few new on eBay with 'Buy it now' options, so got my haggling hat on ;D )
-
quality show 8)
great weather, loads of dubs, lots of drink and comedy flares ;D
that is a steal if you got the S4 for 250!
-
Cudn't been that good Gav and I weren't there ;D :-*
-
Cudn't been that good Gav and I weren't there ;D :-*
true,
I can see it now, about four or five of them..gathered round a little barbie in the wind and rain.....some of the men probably crying like girls....
anything's sh!t without us mate ;D
-
Too right!! Bet there was no stunt driving on the way there either....
Poor them missing our company eh!!
And by little barbie are u meaning adam ;D
-
Shame you guys couldn't make it - there was much more of a party atmosphere compaired to Inters seeing as the whole show was on the same site.
One thing that I ended up feeling after a show like that was we have some 3000 members on the forum, yet there's not a huge presence at any of these shows!
I've had such a wicked time at both the shows I've been to this year, wouldn't it be gr8 if we could get more people along????
I know this is far easier said than done - I just can't believe what some people are missing out on for a few quid and a bit of effort ?!?! Anyone share my views ???
-
would have loved to have been there Dave, but as you know i walk a fine line with the missus..... ;D
I suspect that having spunked the moolah on the g60, If i'd ditched the vicar for a weeekend of vw partying i would have been living in my boot for the rest of the year ;)
how many of the gti site members turned up then?
-
Wish I cud've gone but my bf wasn't free and I was looking at houses bah!!
speaking of him heads down he#s on now
la la la being a good girl!!
-
I think it was just about double figures by the sunday, so not bad ...
As for you 2 being 'busy' ;D that's cool we'll let you off this time ;D
-
Oh thank u master we are not worthy - wens the net event people are going to then?
-
I've just nipped onto the site to see if there were any pictures up from this weekend VWoodstock so looks like we'll have to wait a little longer :(
Anyway, I'd just like to say that Mickela and myself enjoyed this weekend thoroughly and will certainly be coming to more of these events and shows. It was great to put faces to names and to meet so many relaxed and good humored people, was a good weekend and we were both giving it the old "lets get a camper" conversations too ;D What is it about these shows ! ;D
Congrats to Ads for his trophy and for being this weekends top drinker ! Although I reckon he's probably still got alcohol poisoning ;D
We managed to get back in good time for the footy and even got a tonne out of the cab with the roof down ;D But that was obviously on the racetrack that we took as a shortcut ! ;D
Once again thanks to all that was there for helping us have a good weekend and I'm sure there will be more to come :)

Spot on mate, make a bit of an effort to turn up and get to a whole new level of dub fun 8)
You don't need to be as mad as me and go to everything but there is real life out there! You know everyone there shares a common interest so it's not exactly difficult to make friends :)
I had a wicked time at Action, even the fookin stupid hayfever didn't ruin it! Big ;D to everyone that made it such a good laugh :)
-
Next time my bro (veedubgti8v) goes to one of these events, i'll tag along for the fun.
-
pics are up :)

And those alloys, all i can say is, sweet mama, i want a pair!! along with the camper
-
Nice pics JV, wish I could have made it. Will make a big effort to come to the next one, now the other half has bought a tent! :)

^ i'd take the old over the new anyday :)
not sure about that classic bug with TT wheels on.. but gotta love hte speedster.. was it a chesil, or real?
-
Last Bug looks good. Nice colour.
-
at first that beetle with the TT wheels looked odd but it grew on me. I think the modern colour makes it just about work :)
real speedster i think. the collection of 912's was great.
they were all part of this club:

Hey John, there was a right nice green Rivage cab there this weekend that didn't go into the show and shine as it was too dusty :( but there doesn't seem to be any pics of such a lovely car ! ;) How can this be ???

I swear if i had my car I would've been there........ :)
-
shocking oversight gibby! :) i noticed that as I was going through my pictures... kind of forgot to take many of the camp-site cars :(
just means you will have to make it to another show :P
-
I take it, it was mainly a Aircooled event?
-
Was this time, not so last year. Action was originally an air-cooled thing and has been running for years

Shocking oversight seeing as our campsite had the nicest cars IMO ;) Looks like I'll have to go to another show then, what a nightmare ;D
-
I've got loads of pics of the campsite and our cars...........I'll get them posted up soon ;)
-
Nice one Rich, look forward to seeing them ;D I might even have a sig pic all of my own at last ;D
-

He's planning a quarter mile showdown with gav at the gti festival on the 11th july..... ;D

*** must not look at speedster's - must not look at speedster's - must not look at speedster's ***

Lol ... God you can't wait for revenge can you Gav ;) How's she running after the tune Gav ?
As for what's next - more subtle stuff ... more colour coding and chrome bits / single wiper etc then saving for the rims and engine !!
I'm still torn between forced induction or Normally aspirated - I've got a pic from Action of a 2.1 16v with DCOE 45's all polished and looking PHAT - not that I'm jealous ofcourse.
You got some new wheels Golfgal ???
-

You scarred me for life dave.... ;)

-
Looking good. Save that cash and get engine sorted. Thats my plan to, depending on job etc............. :-\
-
<-- wishes he could afford a speedster

Glad you guys (and gals) had a good 'un ;D
And thanks for nice compliments about my (real) Speedster ;)
Love and Peace

Hi Guys,
Sorry its taken a while to get back on, but I think someone must have poured me a double JD instead of a single!
Thanks for all the congrats on the trophy. I have to say I was as surprised as anyone, considering the standard of the competition.
It was great to catch up with all the crew again, but it may be another year untill I can get back, hence drinking a years supply of whisky in one weekend!!
It seemed to really pick up on the sunday, finishing off a very long awaited weekend for me, a thrash up the M1 with Alex (Helious blue) in his rather phat-ended mk1 tintop was the ultimate finish.
So with another year of polishing and modifying ahead it just leaves me to say a big thanks, or an apology, to those who helped me, laughed at me, were embarressed by me, or bought me a drink.

Now then Ads, yes there was a lot of stiff competition in that show and shine but yours was a deserved winner and rightly so ;D
Hope you have got over your whiskey fest, roll on to next years action for you to give me some more amusement ;) Take it easy. ;D
-
Its taken me aaaaages to get around to this, I've finally uploaded my pics:-
