Title: We need another meet me thinks...
Post by: Vtec Abuser on 10 September 2008, 12:04
Not been to a car meet since Inters and getting withdrawal symptoms..  :sad: Was meant to be going to Trax last weekend (and as chav as it can be sometimes, it was just something to do), but with the weather being as glorious as it has been recently I binned it off..
So...
I think we need another meet asap guys as I really enjoy a good old get together whether it be a RR day, VW show, Santa Pod RWYB or just a meet for a few beers and a perv round each other Mrs... I... er... mean car..  :grin:
I know that you southerners have got a RR day beginning of Oct, but I don't think another meet will do any harm or maybe something to entertain us Northern Monkeys..  :wink:
So who's up for it?
Suggestions welcome?

It's VW Players on Sunday in Eseex but that maybe a bit far for the Northerners.

Players is at North Weald airfield in Essex. Show cars in hangers and a car park full of dubs. Not sure what else goes on as I've not been before. Last years show was highly comended though.

I quench my thirst for meets with the local clubs. Lowdownvw is based in South Yorkshire and is mainly made up of the younger VW guys AND gals with cars from MKI Scirocco's to Jetta's, cabby's and the odd Leon and S3. They are very much into their VW's and love a party (or ten!) and VW weekend camping is their speciality! Great bunch of peeps. :cool:

I do agree though that our northern contingent of the brethren of VW MKV fanciers club haven't met for a long time :grin:

I'm off on holiday (yes - again!) next week and so FFS don't organise one then :wink:

If you really want a meet and are prepared to suffer the odd max powered motor, we could always organise a stand at the Donny motorshow in Doncaster at the end of this month? :undecided:

AON are doing a blackpool pt.3 in October which always gets a good turn out. Its the Yorkshire region so all meet in appropriate Northern areas. I know its Astra's but could be a good oppertunity to show off our slick GTI's.

http://www.astraownersnetwork.co.uk/showthread.php?t=47869

Might have to be registered to view it. Theres also a modified VXR attending that you can have a play with on the (autobahn)  :grin:
