-
So who's in charge of all this now ?
-
Chuff/Blue.
-
I'll be going but I don't think my car is up to standard for the club stand yet. So I'll see you guys there!
-
may not be able to make this either/make the club stand. some nice guy in a beemer opend his door onto my car today and taken a small amount of paint off the arch.
going to clean it up and seee how it looks tonight/tomorow.
-
Is there any space left on the stand?
Hopefully getting the mk3 paintwork done thursday so it will look fresh.
I can post up a couple of pics if needed
-
I'm off the stand, the car is in the garage this weekend. Unless you want my courtesy car (knowing my luck a Honda jazz or something as equally sh!t) filling a spot haha
-
Hey I have a couple of issues please can someone put me right ??
1- what time we all getting there for ??
2- does anyone have a map on the site as to where the stand will be ?
3- how am I gonna know who the rep will be on the day ?
Is anyone going from the East Midlands maybe a convoy going there ??
-
I'm going from Derby.
-
Just been given the day off so me and my bro might go. I'm coming from Swadlincote.
-

Wish I knew how to mate!
-
me too lol
-
Right then, what's going on with this?
Need to be onsite 9/9:30 kind of time. You can get there later but actually getting your car to where it needs to be gets difficult.
Pay on the gate.
If it's the usual spot right next to the grandstand you drive around behind the start of the 1/4 mile and up the other side. The organiser types regularly stop you and ask where you are going and have a nice map of where you need to be.
I'll be there with the piano man, no car for me though. So who is still in?
-
Ill be on this if theres space?
-
We be there too !
-
right then fookers. the golf seems to be fixed :whistle:
it was clean when i left work :rolleyes:
it will be going. :grin:
as JV said, tell them you are on the Golf GTI forum club stand, they will send u round.
going by the names on the list anyone wanting to be on the stand can, best to have more than 3 cars unlike some years :lipsrsealed:
look for the fat cnut with upside hair on his head in a Vauxhall Fleece - :cool:
-
Was toying with entering the show n shine, but I'm lacking in a bit of confidence as I don't think mine looks unique enough, so please put me down, will it be an issue if we're there later than you guys?
-
shouldnt be apart from getting round to the stand, - just dont drink any dr pepper and you should be fine :grin:
-
Nice one Chuff.
-
I'm debating this, there still room on the stand?
-
I'm debating this, there still room on the stand?
yep, and do it, :smiley:
-

I'll let you know tomorrow morning chuff :afro:
-
The garage told me it should be out Saturday morning, that gives me from like 10-12 to clean the girl up and change the headlining. It's cutting it fine for work but i am on that stand
-
I take it you need to be fully modded to go on the stand? :grin:
-
Nope.
The general requirements are:
you turned up
you cleaned it
you are vaguely sociable
the more golf gti like your car is the better
we were a bit lonely last time:

-

I'll just be cleaning mine tomorrow and using quick detailer Sunday morning to tidy it up :wink:
-
I will be there! full clean to day! and might even purchase an induction kit today ehehe :whistle: 1.4 :( poweeer lmao
-
I could have gone if I hadn't forgot about tax and mot that expired end of march, oops. The body shop also managed to bodge every trim they put back on this morning leaving the car looking like its just survived an earthquake.
-
What's the score with passengers on the qtr mile
strip as I want to take my 13y/o son ?
-
Car is cleaned and has a full tank of fuel ready for the morning, weather forecast is looking good as well!
-
all this preparation :huh:
car aint moved since thursday, aint got a clue on fuel, its dirty. :cool:
-
Car washed rinsed and vacuumed, detailing kit put together and fingers are crossed for a drive down there! Bro is being here for 0800, mrs Ginge is doing us some Bacon sarnies and we should be there for 0930-1000. If for any reason we come in my bros A7 would it be welcome on the stand?
-
not really, they got pissy before - best to keep it GOLF only to stay onside with the organisers as they give us a decent stand

Don't sit in the passenger seat? :lipsrsealed: :grin:
-
We are settings off from Derby at 9am. Should be there about half 10 :rolleyes:.
How do we get the car to the stand when we get there?
-
At that time they might not let u thru ! As JV stated - they like cars on stands early as possible
Will all depend on the marshals :smiley:
-
All being well I'll be there for 8.30am...ish.
Car is still not clean and I haven't even looked for my race helmet yet! :undecided:
-
I'm sure I can sweet talk them lol. If not I'll be gutted lol

My face is red haha. That wind tho. :angry:

Called in this afternoon, saw a couple of cars present, but no-one around :sad: still there is always October. First time I have attended, and with great weather it was a fab event. will check and see if people are attending next time, and get myself along in good time.
-
Me and the mrs caught the sun and wind in our faces too.Great day out.Fire Force 3 was awesome.Wished I had brought my car in to the show n shine area after some of the cars we seen.Sorry I didn't get to meet any of you,we watched fire force from near the club stand tho.
-
Yep the jet car was amazing, just when you thought some of the cars running were fast, you realised they were in slow motion!!!!!! Nice Golf R running down ther strip, showing quite a few cars a cleen pair of heels. wind burn was quite bad, but only realised when i got home, and the Mrs said you look like roger radish !!!!
-
That bright orange golf was pretty rapid tho,think it was quicker than that redneck golf.

Watched with envy at your very nice R running down the strip, and wondered what you had done to it, but looking at the details, I now understand.
