Title: My day at Inters
Post by: tinman on 09 May 2004, 22:07
Cmon everyone, post how your day at Inters went.

Who you saw - what you saw - what you liked and what you didn't. And tell us if you had any good moments getting there.

And post your links to your pictures here. If anyone need pics hosting mail me and i'll sort it.

Mine is coming up - it'll take a few minutes to type :)

OK, the problem of the week - take the Golf to Inters or the MG.

Unfortunately, i sent a mate over to collect the Golf from storage in the morning and it refused to start - which rather made our choice for us. Pity :(

Anyway, got rolling in the TF at 1030, hit the A12 by 1130 or so, and went into chase mode on a VR6 almost immediately. 60-70 miles of chase was the Best fun i've had for a very long time.

Full marks to Vixster for having the only car that really stuck out. I'm sure it was your car. Hope that problem doesnt cost too much to sort out :)

Wandered around for bit and only spotted 3 originals. 2 were on Wagenwheels stand, and the third was a female on MaxPower stand - looked original to me. And the leather looked good also.

I'll post pictures of what i thought looked good later.

All in all, apart from the rain, good time.

Had a great couple of chases on the way out. Cant figure out why everyone was driving like a saint generally.

Apparently 3 black slammed mk4s with stretch tyres were seen going down the A12 that morning tailing each other as if they were glued at high speed. Quite a sight it seems. And quite a pace.

Yeah I couldn't understand it there were virtually no standard looking cars at all, don't get me wrong I've got no problem with modifying to improve performance, but I just think the look of the car should be left as VW intended!
Yeah the max power girl certainly got my attention, unfortunately I was too slow with the digital camera when she was bending over the Corrado dragster while lifting her tiny leather skirt up ;D

btw the Mk2 on Wagenwheels stand was mine  :)

Not sure, it hasn't done that before and has been fine all today  It should only chirp if someone is getting to close or interfering with the car, I?ll have to get the manual out and have a read. It could have been the car stereo systems that were booming, or maybe it was getting all excited with all the other Golfs around....
