Post by: AlanD on 20 March 2008, 09:17
Good news chaps. I wasnt going to be coming becuase I was going to the VW v Vauxhall thing the weeke before. I can no longer make that as its my mates 21st and we are going hungover paintballing on the sunday so can no longer make it :(

But on the bright side I can now make this :D

Have we got anywhere as far as meeting at a service station or anything? Im in South London so will M25ing then up the M1 isnt it? or what ever M road takes you to the pod.

:edit: Just seen your post Ash, didnt know you was coming to this too, we should be nice and easy to meet up with :) PM me your number again, I lost it when I got new phone, cheers :)
Title: Re: GTI spring festival

Title: Re: GTI spring festival
Post by: Ashmond on 20 March 2008, 09:25

Title: Re: GTI spring festival
Post by: AlanD on 20 March 2008, 09:33
Just had a quick look on the map, I think the best place for us all to meet is at any service station on the M1. People and what not like myself and Ash can meet up before it easier. Then roll on up from there? Views?

Post by: topher on 14 April 2008, 12:34
Best time to find us is when it rains. That's when we rush back to the office (aka my golf and joe's passat) to shelter and take the p!ss out of people walking by getting soaked.

piece off piss, the invertor is the hardest bit and thats easy, has instructions on the back, need to take glovey off though and cut/drill holes for wires, but all in all easy peasy!

o thats does sound easy have u got any pics of yours? so i can see what the finished product looks like
Title: Re: GTI spring festival

There you go, no wires or anything! Just need to screw the invertor against the side of the glovey, havent bothered yet!

is that wired through the double din head unit?
Title: Re: GTI spring festival
Post by: Ashmond on 14 April 2008, 13:20
No I got a motorised 7" system, touchscreen, bluetooth handsfree, divx dvd player, sd card the lot, so much stuff on it (ebay £240) the reason I didnt get a double din was because on mine its face off so if anybody steals it they'l have a hard time getting it to work without he panel (which is always with me may I add)
