when do you get the ed30 then phil as I take it you'll be using the gti at the pod this time, possibly taking the ed30 to the one after so that you can compare the two.
-
yes, my local Stealer said" Your not gonna put the grey GTi down the strip are you?" ........ " oh of course not, theres no point" i said. oh boy 8mm of tyre tread just waiting to be worn!!!. We shall see ,depends on weather conditions, and yes would like to put the ed30 down it in june at the nxt festival.Should collect eddy in around 10 days time.

nice day!! good to meet hurdy, red, phil/steve lol?
shame about the rain...
-
did it rain then?? If there were any R32's they must have been happy :grin:
-
Did it rain? Did it rain? :angry:
Morning was good but the afternoon was a bit "moist"
Couldn't get the traction on the strip and bl00dy traction control kept cutting in even though I'd turned it off :angry:
14.12 at 101.9mph.
Needed the coilies on :sad: to control the mad hopping and tyre shredding :sick:
Met some more members for the first time too - so all was good
and Red Robin even became famous :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes:
-
RedRobin became famous?? To be honest for some reason i thought he was...tell us the story Hurdy :smiley:
-

Haha,
He tried to get a passenger ride down the strip in someone else's car (not allowed) and was told to get out by the officials - to a round of applause - and then he pulled a moony :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I nearly wet myself :grin:

Seriously? thats funny it it did happen!!! LMAO
We dont get any events like Santa Pod over here, booo! :drool:
-
lucky you left when you did Hurdy.. should've seen the snow on the M1 at J19... 2 inches fell, and settled, in a matter of 60 seconds.
-
Ha...cant beleive he did that....are you not allowed to go down the strip in a passengers car?? What car was it :P
Well Done Red! :grin:
-
Managed to get one of Hurdy's run filmed - have put it on YouTube:

hi it was my car that red was hoofed out of we didnt no that it was solo riders only.managed a 15.6sec, so lacking traction still wheel spining in 3rd was creamed by a tidy mk2 :sick:he must have had nitrous or something thats my excuse or im just crap.
-
just a couple on snaps of mr Stowaway being smuggled in whitegti's car (red robin)
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/philmcavity/Santapod040.jpg)
as he walks off in disgust, thankfully the moment after Mr Robin pull his pants back on round his waist. i everso nearly choked on my milkshake!

....Just got home - 4hr drive but in spirited company for first part (Audi S3's can really shift!! One had been on the strip and still had the numbers).
Great to meet some more peeps from here.
The officials were very nice about us not knowing about passenger rides - No problem at all. Yes, as there was a rumble from the crowd when I got out the car I decided to raise my arms in a salute which then got a very loud cheer and I then took it a step further by shaking my ass at the crowd and pulling my waterproof trousers down (but I did have trousers on underneath) - It was much appreciated though and for a very brief moment I felt a bit like Spike from the movie "Notting Hill".
Vid with when Spike opens the door to the crowd :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUjIYX9IAYs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUjIYX9IAYs)

....Nice vid for Hurdy, Dom :cool: - His best time of the day - Very respectable considering how slippery it all was.
-
Yes enjoyed the day, again nice to meet a few faces to names, hurdy,steveS,horney,Markymark,whitegtidriver,Redrobin, and a few other forum members cars but never saw its owners!.3 hour drive home which my dam vw sat nav directed me onto the M1 straight onto 1 hrs worth of traffic cues!!!.totally a different route to the one it sent me up on much to my disgust :angry:
Was quite a sight watching passers by gorping at the mk5's especially a certain carbon fibre bonnet and Tattoo!
Even found my wife being chatted up by some mysterious looking fella, knew alot about Mk5's... i wonder who he is????????????????.Likes a touch of carbon fibre aparently

We really enjoyed the day today albeit cut short due the showers. Was good to meet a few faces off here, Hurdy & Phil McCavity, wasnt brave enough to knock on anyones window and intro myself, no-one would know who I was anyway as im a newbie! :laugh:
-
Is that Hurdy chatting up your wife then? :lipsrsealed:

Nice to see you on the day Mark :cool:
Phil spotted your GTI front lip from 100 yards away :smiley:
Remember, if you don't go up and talk to people, you could end up missing out on something :wink: and I don't like missing out :laugh:

Great Vid that Dom, and my....err...fastest run too. pity the track was so slippy though.
Also a great compilation further down the thread :cool:
-
Thanks John,
I know it was dry when you did that run - how do you feel about the time when compared to the time you ran last year as stock? Let me know if you want a copy of that footage. Was filmed in hD so YouTube does not give it justice.
Dom

glad everyone had a good time, its a bit too far for the one day for me. gutted it rained though :angry:
-
Just spent my morning watching the vids on YouTube - maybe I should do some work soon....Sounds like a cracking day - any pics of Hurdy's "tattoo" - and not the one on your ar$e :grin:

Nice to see some of the motors off here in the end.. :wink: Especially Hurdy's tattoo'd beast.. :wink: Do like that Miltek, tailpipes looked proper :cool:.
I didn't really get much chance to speak with any of you chaps. As everytime I walked past the cars, noone was there.. :sad: Did introduce myself to Hurdy very briefly while he was demonstrating his ICE.. :grin:. But i'm sure they'll be plenty of other meets...
As for the actual show itself... Didn't think it was a great turn out on the whole to be honest (going on past shows)... (apart from the you boys of course)..
Hardly any Audi's ( S3's etc ) Leon Cupra's, just not many of the new hot hatch brigade at all apart from the Mk5's.. Rest was just the usual swarm of Mk1 and Mk2 Golfs...
Then on top of that, Santa Pod's usual sh!te organisation skills took affect and took hours to get the strip back up and running after a down pour, only to interupt the running after 5 mins of them starting again to run the FOOKING Jet Car down. Then sure enough it started raining again, that's when I did one... Just feel really sorry for the poor chaps who were running.. Soooo glad I wasn't..
I just think they need to throw some money at the place to be honest. As the prices have gone up a good 20-30% in the past year or so, but yet the facilities are gettin worse IMO.. :sad:
-
well it is GTI festival :grin:
its only in recent years that they let anything other than golfs have show stands
-
Suppose, but the last few i've been to have had a lot better VAG turn out.. Just thought it was a little quiet this year.. Probably down to the unsettled weather scaring people off..
-
Probably needs changing to VAG Spring Festival to attract a wider audience :undecided:
Yeah, saw you Vtec abuser and I thought that you'd still be by the stand when I got out, but you'd gone. I was gonna introduce you to some more of the regulars. Never mind, there's always the GTI International later this year. :smiley:
-
Don't think it has the same ring to it mate.. ha :grin:. But I just thought it was a little quieter than previous shows in regards to the other VAG members..
Look forward to Brunters though, must admit.. Will meet you all properly then.. :grin:
Oh and Hurdy, get some new rubber this time.. :wink: :grin:
-
whats happening for Inters, not seen anything about it on here yet?
-

probably because its far off, but i will probably attend
-
Keep eyes peeled in the next month on the shows and meets section for a stand thread.
-
Announcement will be made about the Inters club stand once a few details have been sorted.
-
Couple of vids off my phone from sunday.. (Don't think either of the ED30's are on here)
Not great quality once put on Youtube, but better than nowt.. :smiley:

Think Dom Posted that up... :smiley:

It sounds like you guys had an absolute ball over there. :evil:
I wish I could go to as show like that. Here in South Africa we dont have shows and meets like this. I would have loved to watch. :embarassed:
I looked at some of the pictures and the tatoo looks cool Hurdy. Maybe my mom will get one too? :grin:
Mike :smiley:

I was there and wa sparked on the club dislplay that was down the bottom as you come off the strip.
Was a bit miserable weather-wise and I don't think there was as many traders as there have been in the past. Good turnout of clubs though and I enjoyed walking round the show & shine.
I'd have been gutted if I'd pay to go on the strip though, it was shut more than it was open!
