Just a pre warning that as my car is a work horse and covers some 4,000 miles a month, it won't be as shiny as the likes of Phils or Red's,......
My car to be honest will hopefully be clean although there will be brake dust on the callipers and the exhaust will be dirty!!!!!
In all honesty, what standard is being set for the day and do I need to be up early buffing over the old motor??? :grin:
-
lol, well judging by the forecast this week looks changable, sunshine and showers so far ive seen up till thursday, but dont know what the weather has installed for nxt weekend.
I will endevour to have phylis's Crotch looking good nxt weekend, but all in the hands of the gods. Im on holiday as of friday for 6 days so have the day friday to prep or it if raining a day to ball my eyes out ! lol
By the sounds of it of late lots of edition 30's have been taken a hammering! with the odd knock, scrape etc!. Im looking foward to seeing Robins to see if hes tided up the bits that were gonna be his project. Hope he has, hes keeping very quiet over what hes done. Fingers crossed his wheels have been done :wink:. His motor is very good looking especially following her on the road.And Not arf sounds the Part too!
I will be Poor old "Mr Standard Ed30" there, so ill just have to be as shiny as possible!!.Looking foward to seeing everyone aswell.
We should have every colour on show so one for the photo album i think, also having Our resident Horney (nick) with his Looooooong Lens's, looking foward to his skills again with the Camera.
I bet know though, i will win the "Most stone chips award "in the GTi 5 catagory! :cry:
-
i know Robin has had his splitter re-sprayed and fettled - he's been quiet about his wheels though - when i spoke to him at Combe he was looking at several finishes
my car won't be clean - i'll have done the daily grind to work and covered 170 miles to get to JKM :undecided:
i'd bring masks people unless you want to choke on the diesel fumes :tongue: :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
good point Rhyso, health and safety always comes first :wink: , nasty stuff!! lol :laugh:
-
Whats the earliest we can run Steve?
I have an afternoon engagement... with swmbo so need to be back... I really wanna come down, but will need to run 1st/2nd?
-
the order of merrit hasnt been decided yet lee, im trying to do it in Groups in the same Mk. I was gonna start with 2's, 3,4, then us in the 5's last, but may have to reverse it so the 5's go first instead and just do the reverse as above.I know someone in the Mk2's may be running late cus of the long drive up so perhaps it may work out better. I will do the list tommorow and Maybe publish :smiley:
-
I'll have a 3 hour drive :shocked: to get there so if it's wet my car will be minging by the time I get there.
-
So wish I was going :cry:
P.S. You do like changing your sig every week or so don't you phil :grin:
-
Hoping for a dry day on the before Friday to give the car a good clean up as it's proper dirty at the moment :embarassed:
But like Golfgirl have a long drive down on the Sat so it will probably be a waste of time anyway. :smiley:
-
fooking hell - you want clean cars too :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
mine will be down and dirty, it aint seen a sponge in 3 weeks . has been garaged under repair and will now sit outside til next weekend. :tongue:
-
Phil, I take it timings for start etc will be out soon?
Are most people going for the day or half day????
Don't want to get up too early or late for that matter???
-
....
Whether my Mk5 turns up clean or not will depend entirely where I've had to drive this week and the weather and if I have time to clean her Friday afternoon.
I haven't powdercoated my Monza 18's yet - Having spent on my diff and needing to investigate my slightly 'bouncy' front suspension which might need money spending. I think I've found the colour though.
Both my front 'chin' and rear roof spoiler have been repainted.
I've got 2 surprises to be revealed on Saturday :evil:
-
^^^ You big tease RR, I can promise first refusal on some very nice biscuits I have liberated from work if you give us some clues ??? :laugh: :laugh:
-
By the sounds of it of late lots of edition 30's have been taken a hammering! with the odd knock, scrape etc!
Yeah sounds like September's not a good month for ED30s. Must remember this for next year!
I will be Poor old "Mr Standard Ed30" there, so ill just have to be as shiny as possible!
At least you have DSG to console yourself! I've got a manual!
I bet know though, i will win the "Most stone chips award "in the GTi 5 catagory! :cry:
And I'll win the most scrapes/poorest presentation.
Anybody have any idea what time we're all meeting up, how long it'll take and estimated time of finishing?
EDIT: This'll be my first offline meet of any forum/car group ever. Is there a protocol? Should I bring something?

....Some dry clothes to change into.
[just kidding!] :evil: You'll find that everyone is very friendly (not over friendly you'll be relieved to hear).
-
bleddy hell, its a RR day, not show and shine :grin: :grin:

everyone will need to try and be there by 9am to get the safety briefing over with. Its entirely up to you how long you stay, im guessing its a good 6 hrs to do everyone!, all your 3 runs will be together so dont feel that you have to stay till the end matie if you need to shoot.
And yes tis customary the Moderator does eat Pie's, pastys, Burgers etc :wink:

Which way will come down from Frome to JKM?
Me and Rhyso are going to be meeting up at the Chieveley services A34 services to start a mini convoy.

....KoniFSD's and they've done just under 50k miles. Surely they should last longer than that. The extra grip now being delivered by the Quaife diff probably won't help the dynamics, yes?

If I was visiting my rents in the midlands, I could have joined the convoy easily.

Me, Rhyso and hopefully cookiemonster will be meeting up on the A34 services and then heading down from there so I presume we will be passing this junction on the M27?
If so then we could make it an even bigger convoy :smiley:

Is anyone coming past Guildford Cathedral (on the A3 basically)? Could meet at 08:00 - aiming to leave by 08:15 - should get us there by 08:50?
Just a thought.

Not too far from me then, I am just the other side of Milton Keynes but it's easier for me to get the M40 for the A34. :smiley:
-
i work in MK. But M40 is too far away really. you've got rather more A road coverage than me on saturday! think 2 hours should be enough.
-

....You need much more time to get from Guildford at 8:15am > A3 > JKM by 8:50am (unless you maintain licence losing autobahn speeds!)

Oh really? TBH I haven't done the journey from the cathedral before (I normally join the A3 at the Farnham / Bordon junction). But your probably right, as going past the devil's punchbowl and Hindhead can be a little slow at times.
