Title: Newbie In Need of Help!
Post by: MissVdub on 10 October 2006, 11:39
Hi there

I'm new to this forum and posted in the for sale section.

The trouble is, I can't read my personal messages -  it just comes up with 'an error occured' when i try to read them!?!  :huh: What's going on?!

Anyone know how I can fix it? Do I have to wait a certain amount of time after registering until I can access them or is the system just rejecting me?! :laugh:

Many thanks

How come it's over two days?
As for me...well, I'm in Lincs, just outside of Peterborough and I've had the beetle for 6 years. I've always loved vw's (for as long as I can remember!) and had a couple of mk2's.

Where are you guys based? Are you all over the UK or are you mainly mids based if you're having a meet in Leicester??

eek @ night out in Leicester (no offence to anyone who lives there!). I just moved out of Leicestershire so I know what the night life's like there lol  :shocked:  :laugh:

So give us some recommendations then!
Maybe starting out in the Queens Road area.

Didn't do the 'pub & club' scene much in Leicester as it's full of under aged eejits lol (in my opinion). I used to go for dinner there quite a lot though. The Terrace is ok but you'll probably end up in Creation at some point in the evening, in which case...have fun! lol  :laugh:

You didnt say if you were comin along though! would be good to get a bit of aircooled dub in the after show pictures!

We are a fairly random spread of people, I live in Guernsey at the minute which makes gettin to shows interesting, but you have to find a way. Unfortunately my mk3 wont be making an apparance coz the ferry times are rubbish but It'l be at a couple of shows next year, hopefully lower than ever aswell!

I'll be at more shows next year (I do a few aircooled shows every year) as I'm a sunshine baby and tend to hibernate in the winter :)

Guernsey's lovely actually. Speed limit sucks but its a pretty place to live. I wont brag too much about the beautiful views of the sun rising over the english channel i have from my flat :smug:

Bugjam does sound like a good idea for next year. im undecided for that one or the gti spring fest, but E38 is the one for sure. Check out the shows and events section for pics and write ups of them all. We arnt all complete pissheads, honnest!
