I'll second that. even though the weather wasn't too agreeable Still one of the best times I had had in a while. I'm glad to meet everyone I met There as well. Got lot of folks. Keep in touch and if you are ever up my way give me a message and I'll give you my mobile number. I wish i had gotten a chance to say good by to everyone. Got seperated looking through the show and then left trying to beat the rush. Hope everyone had a safe journey home. Whens the next show? Whos got the beer. :)
Take care,
Brad

Pulled a sicky - dam why didn't I think of that !!! ;D
Had a wicked time though, nice to put some names to faces and glad to see the friendly atmosphere this forum has goes well beyond these webs pages!!!
I'll post up some new pics of the Golf with the new chrome / clear bits as soon as it's done. I'm not quite as bad as Gav doing it all the car park, but I don't see it all waiting till the weekend !!
Hopefully see you all again @ some more shows this summer - even got the girlfriend thinking about selling her 2001 Civic for a GTI, so shows what an impression a show like Inters can make. ;D ;D ;D
-
woke up this morning in a kingsize bed, warm, dry......no revving supercharged engines waking me up....felt a bit sad ;D
had a wicked time, great to meet some guys from the forum. top fellas all of you.
breakfast at the vaughn camper cafe.......
got home and the missus thought I had changed my car.........bugger
-
p.s.
when driving anywhere with golfgal give yourself a good 200 yrd gap...
the girl's a stunt driver ;)
-
Changed your car eh - and you hoped she wouldn't even notice the new bits ;)

lol yeah she text'd me about that! crazy!
-
err...got home last night, my missus pointed out that I had a sunburnt face......
as it rained all weekend i can only assume that I burnt my face leaning over the barbecue with those crazy irish guys at 3 in the morning......
-

if you ever meet her, the badgeless grill comes with the cross hair lights, and costs ?45
the rear clusters.....?20
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
No probs matey .... our lips are sealed - just don't let her ever get on this forum or your rumbled for sure !!!
-
Had a really great time, it was great tieing up with you all. Boy do we have some stories to tell..........especially our journey there, 6 hours from Guildford......you couldn't write the script it was so eventful :o I'll go into more detail about that later once I have my photo's uploaded.
There were 2 things that really stuck in my mind. One was obviously that amazing shortwheel base Audi quattro :o
The other was that incident when we came back from the bar Saturday night and came across these guys who had been through our camping area. When confronted we quickly discovered they were French to which 'mk216vdubbya' immediately responded in totally fluent French........I don't know who was the more shocked, the French guys or us......in fact I seem to remember 'golfgal' saying: Was that one of us just said that :o Nice one Gav :)
Echoing whats already been said, big thanks to everyone that made it what it was. Hopefully see all of you again in 1 months time at VW-Action.
SoundillusioN, Shaun, I really hope you do get your car fixed. Really gutted for you mate, that was a gorgeous pre-accident Mk1. Keep in touch, let us know how you get on.

I'm not the only one then! My face is burnt as well! Doesn't seem to matter what show I go to and what the conditions are......I get a burnt face! I can't even blame the bbq.
Even if its raining I'm going to wear sunblock in the future :)

I've just set up a GTI International 2004 album in the gallery for anyone that wishes to upload their pics :)
-
thanks for the loan of the map rich, you should of followed me cant believe i beat you. now which way i`m going next year ;D
-
Ian and Shaun said they saw you pull onto the A12 as we went past......a little further down. We dropped out of the queue in the end and headed off round the back roads ourselves. Loads of other VW's doing the same.....got there in the end.
Big smash on the M25 left us stationary for around an hour otherwise we wouldn't have done too bad.
How was the steak ;)
-
very good, but i think i baffled the missus with all my plans, just don`t know what to do replace mk4, replace camper, restore camper, mk1 cabbie 2.0 16v carb conversion. think i`ll sleep on it for a couple of months.
all i did was get on the a12 further up, where you saw me i had just filled up with petrol. also saw s11eps near cambridge asleep in a layby 8)
-
was great to meet u all - would have been nice to covoy home with u but i think i was being a bit of a shopolic. ::)

lol y? what did golf girl do?
-
cool great pic's.
And you got a few of Gary's new car ::) teh Cupra R didn't last long! do you know anyone else that sells a car when it is only 5 weeks old and spends almost all the money on a MK1 that quick!
-
Gary is buying an awesome mk1 there but think is at least slightly mental swapping the Leon so quickly!!
Is he going to get the mk1 before the rr day do you know?
-
lol y? what did golf girl do?
came up behind Rich on the dual carriageway, he'd slowed down rather a lot......she hadn't!
in an effort to avoid him she did a very graceful 360 spin (I think she may have issues with one of her brake calipers) and went off the road.
2 secs later, she reverses out onto the dual carriageway and is ready to go ;D
The coppers turned up about 5 secs after....
-
LOL and i missed that? sh!t! Did she get done by the cops? Or did she manage to
Flirt Blag her way out of it?
-
lol y? what did golf girl do?
she did a very graceful 360 spin
yeeehaaaaaa GO GIRL! Did she get a rollcking from them?
-
3 minutes later, after much eyelash fluttering the nice policeman pulled out into the middle of the dual carriageway with his blues on to stop all the traffic so me, golfgal, Rich and G6 Dub could bugger off...
i like it when you get a personal service ;D
-

:o :o
Did I miss something? When did that happen? Which mk1 is he buying???
-
i think it`ll be a bit special for that money. it`s not that purple turbo`d engine one is it
-
Rich the retro purple MK1 with the cupra engine and gear box, roof rack etc.... (they are all calling him a pimp!)
JV he hopes to but if not Chris who was with us yesterday said he will come along in his G40 polo if teh MK1 is not ready and if it is ok with you?

Cheers Rich you are a technical wizard mate!
only one slight problem though the pic appears to be missing bonnet strutts, bonrath power roar and .....ahem *cough* a supercharged G60 lump ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
gavs car looks well good, shame them clear 'caters didnt fit - i reckon he will make em fit somehow 8)
-
cheers Vix, need to attack the front end with an angle grinder methinks...... :o :D ;)
-
Definatly a good time. I'll definatly be coming to action. Gav's french, my 65 quid pack of fags, and the drunk doing handstands in the bar on the table are two things I'll remember for a while. Too much fun. I don't think the weather spoiled it at all. didn't for me anyway. once again it was good meeting everyone.

-
Get Brad to post it ;D
-
Or send it to me and I'll post it ;)
-
Will do its most amusing everyone sitting down but you standin up drainin the can down ur throat lol!!
-
The new front end looks good with those cross hair lights. A nice set of crystal clear indicators would finish it off well now. (maybe a purchase at Action - it's too easy to spend money there - I know!)
-
Adam you'll make me weep....
i bought a set of crystal front indies on the sunday....obviously went straight to the car park to fit them but they wouldn't go in....the original amber ones are thinner at the back, the new crystalones won't go all the way back into the aperture, there's a metal strut that obstructs it.
bollocks >:(
-
ahem does the swear checker not pick up bollocks ^^^^^ ;D
bollocks bollocks bollocks bollocks bollocks bollocks
(believe it ro not I'm actually 30.... :D)
