Hey all
who's going this year and is there any meet up planned while were all there?
would be good to meet some of you nutters lol :grin: :wink:
-
I think a few of us are planning on meeting up before we get there and convoying in so we all go in together and get the same area.
-
I should be able to do that Rich. taking the Friday off work, so unless you are thinking of some ungodly early hour I should be able to meet somewhere.
My route would normally take me round the bottom of Northampton. But could cut across to MK and pick up the M1.
Or whatever.
-
Cool! Not sure when i'll be leaving, gonna be when the bloody women are ready lol :grin:
so any plans for a golfgti.co.uk stand or meeting point? where all forums peeps can say hi?
:smiley:

-
Hey daisy, if you come along to this one you might see me stay up later than 1.30am ! :laugh: :laugh:
-
OOOO now that would be worth seeing, but can you stay up and not have your cocoa too :grin:
-
No way ! One step at a time ! I'll go cocoa cold turkey on the Saturday night though just for the zany hell of it. :grin: :laugh: :laugh:
-
OOOO steady there next you will be leaving teddy at home and sleeping without a pillow :grin:
-
Hey daisy, if you come along to this one you might see me stay up later than 1.30am ! :laugh: :laugh:

-
Insane, if you want to meet up with me, gti89, TheDubFather, wotto and anyone else that is going, send us a PM closer to the time (or I'll send you one) and we can arrange a time to meet up in the bar there. :grin:
-
OK will do matey ;) would be good to come say hi
was just going through the "Sooooo..... What does everyone look like and what do they drive?" thread
at least i know what you look like now :smiley:
*but wonders if i really wanna put up my ugly mug shot for everyone to see in that thread* psml! :grin:
-
And just spotted the dubfather! rofl :grin:
(http://hometown.aol.co.uk/thedubfather2000/CraigDavid.jpg)
classic! Can i get a rewiiinnndddd! :grin:
-
lol - That's a quality mask gaz has got, FAF ! I don't think I'm in that thread so you wont have seen a pic of me (cant remember and cant be @rsed searching through 37 pages !) but you've probably seen a pic of rich and gti89. Deffo meet up though. :smiley:
-
Bump
only 8 days to go people :cool:
-
Raring to go!
Are we there yet? :laugh:
-
well me and my lady are coming to this as well now. spoke to gibby up at santa pod last weekend and he convinced us! i've been before about 4 years ago. he also said he'd save us a camping spot as we'll be coming up late friday, that cool with everyone?
-
Its fine by me, the more the merrier, my misses will be glad that she aint the only woman going now :cool:
-
Cool mate - the more the merrier!
Does raise a question of how we can hold on to enough space though! Have to get there early.
Anybody got a spare gazebo say - that could be put up to gain sapce then taken down when late arrivals get there?
-

Sounds good to me.............don't forget to leave a space for me. With any luck I'll meet up with you before going in. Have we arranged a pre Bugjam time and place to meet up yet?
-
I can bring my gazeebo. Its just whether I can get there early enough as I'm working nights until the early hours of that morning.
-
yeah i was thinking that, vaughn seemed to think it'd be fine though. we'll be leaving the south coat about 5 so with anyluck should be there abvout half 7?? all depends how bad the m25 is i suppose!
-
Rich - I think I will be going up as early as possible. So i might be there before you.
No nobody has arranged a place and time to me up yet!
-
I can bring my gazeboo, but I am going to lincolnshire straight from the show so was planning on travelling light, so unless i can find somewhere to leave it to pick it up from on way home then I wasnt planning on bringing it.
With regards to a meeting place I arranged with vaughn that I would meet him inside the gates on the grass verge on the left as you enter the site, and plan to meet him about 9:30 - 10am
-
Good man joe, glad you are coming, I can be very convincing when I need to be ! :wink: :laugh: :laugh:
Len, you're not camping with us are you ? Oh yeah and wotto, Vaughn's missus is coming and so is one of his mates g/f so there will be a few more laydeeeeees in the camp. :smiley:
Camper is in the garage getting a service at the moment and it needs some more work doing on it, fekkin back plates on the rear brakes and handbrake cables :angry: I'll be setting off on Friday morning but I don't know what time yet as I don't know if I'll have to take my little lad to school, if so then it's not going to be before 10am. :sad:
-
Vaughn, won't I have to meet up with you for my ticket or will you be able to meet me at the entrance if I am a bit later?
I hope I can get there early enough to meet up at your designated time but if we have a sh1t night at work I may not get to bed before 7am! Mind you, maybe then I would do better to not go to bed but stay up, get there, set up the tent etc., and then crash out :undecided:
-
OOOooooo its getting closer! :grin: So can't wait for this!
Will anyone be racing their golfs this year?
I did last year, Just for fun mind, One serious rush sitting on that starting line,
with all those people watching, "thinking please don't stall it! please don't stall it!" lol :laugh:
-
Rich, Vaughn has still got my ticket and he was talking about posting mine as he'll be on site before me, I'd say PM him to do the same for you then you don't have to worry about meeting up when you get there.
Insane: I'll be in a camper so doubt I'll be thrashing that, I dont think the Santa Pod clocks go for the amount of time it would take me to do a 1/4 mile anyway ! :laugh: Thrashed the Golf up there last Sunday at GTI festival though and that was quality but you do worry about stalling it or something going pop as you hear the engine screaming ! :laugh: :laugh:

You know that, such a buzz though, Still remember first time i did it, i was shaking like a leaf and rushing like a nutter lol :laugh:

First time I've ever done it on Sunday and it was a bit hairy scarey for the first time, but I loved it after that. :grin: Wasn't doing it to race anyone I was just curious what the old girl would do it in. GTI festival is only a one day show but they did two of them this year. :smiley:
-

gtijoe is arriving at about 8pm on the Friday too and camping with us, I think it might be an idea to find out exactly how much space we need to save for everyone on the campsite. Paul, as you are going to be one of the first there on friday do you fancy sorting a thread out for that ? :undecided:

-
Good man. :grin: So is Len camping with us then ? :undecided:

Yup he his, wonder if the boiler suit is coming with him or not :grin:
Is any one up for dressing up on the sat night? FOr the 70's disco thingy?

The boiler suit would be FAF ! :laugh: :laugh:
I wont be dressing up on Saturday for the simple reason that I cannot be @rsed ! :laugh: :laugh:

Hey all
since i coundn't find a offical Bug jam thread, Thought i would just reply here
Big up all those i met at the Bug Jam over the weekend, It was good to meet you guys,
Not going to try and mention names as i'm bound to forget someone
Will def have to come find you lot at the next one, And hopefully My kniterider will be around aswell :grin: ;)
-
good meeting you too fella, was short but sweet on my part...had to go get some of those fajitas!!! mmm :tongue:
-
lol. yes same aswell mate. went off to watch the stunt car then the jet car demo's
i just never get board of seeing fireforce go down that track :cool:
overall had a wicked weekend, drunk plenty of beers and had a great laugh
also luckly left quite early on the sunday, and by the sounds of it from another forum,
missed the 5 hour que's to get out :shocked:
so when\s the next GTI meet up?
:smiley:
-
Queues to get out of there were sh!t. It took me an hour and I'm afraid I resorted to cutting across the field and jumping the queue :embarassed:
Next year I either leave very early or stay all day.
How come none of the Bugjam veterans warned us about the queues to get out?
-
Guess everyone had to many beers :grin:
i totaly forgot about how bad it gets when 25k of people all leave at the same time
*makes mental note for next year*
:smiley:
heard rumours there was a accident at the main road that caused the hold up,. but could just be a rumour
so if that was your first time, what do you think? did you enjoy?
cheers
Ben
:smiley:
-
Mate, it was fantastic........glad I met you. Yeah with a bit of foresite I should have predicted that situation, but didn't hep me at the time :angry: Logged for next year
-
Erm i went across all the fields and out the exit by the main gate. Took me all of ooooo five minutes to get onto the road and it was plain sailing from there. :cool: :cool:
-
i normally leave 5 ish on sunday and its ok (no piss takes about me leaving 7pm on friday this year lol) mind u no queues!!!
:cry:
-
mind u no queues!!!
There wouldn't be would there gaz as you had a blue light and siren on your exit ! :laugh: :laugh:
It took me all of 10 minutes to get out of there but we didn't leave until after 3pm.
Insane: The next meet for all us lot is probably going to be Edition38 in September if you fancy it. :smiley: Although there is a night out in Lincoln in August.
-
Nice one cheers gibby will look into those events when i get back later on
good to meet you btw at the weekend
would be good to hook up again, when we all have our cars together aswell
who was it with the red mk2 racing down the track that i met, so sorry such a bad memory,
tis all the substances in my past life thats done it :laugh:
anyway,, you nearly ran me over about 1hr after i met you, burning down the fire up lane :grin: :wink:
-
no idea.................. :embarassed: :laugh:
-
ha ha! i thought it was you, just don't remember you being called Ian Beales Fish and Chips :grin:
btw the track is where you drive fast, and the fire up lane is where you cruise back to the start,
not race down at full wack for another go, lol :grin: :wink:
-
Oh what was your best time btw :smiley:
-
:embarassed: :embarassed: errr, can't say i remember getting that close to someone. Although a lot of people were right arrogant tw@ts and didn't move. Maybe thats why i just booted it. :embarassed:
Times i think i managed a high 14 but not sure, they were only doing times at the scrutineering shed at the top end and i couldn't be bothered to stop and get out each time.
Sorry about that. :smiley:
-

:smiley:
-
In reply to Rich's post as you know last year was first time but had no trouble getting out at all then.
Think this year it was down to a combination of the long period of rain and a bad accident on the M1 that saw that closed for a while. Just everyone decided to leave at the same time.
Took me an hour and a half to get out. Took Karen about 4 hours!
But we did meet up at our friends in Milton Keynes so that worked out fine in the end.
