How did you find the car parking area? I shat myself! There were mounds of dirt bigger than what my car could handle. People looked at laugh (or was that just at me?).  :grin:

Was good for a couple of hours at Volksfest but not the same unless you camp, all day pissups are the best!

Cars looking good by the way murray, we will have to organise something soon. :afro:

Yh the car park was shocking, wasn't too bad when we got there coz its was fairly early, but was fun trying to find a way out!  :grin: yh wasntthat much todo without getting drunk  :grin:.

Cheers bud, having a look at some of the other mk3s there I've realised how badly mine is crying out for a respray, but a new engine is more important! Your cars looking pritty sweet too! Yh would be good to arrange a meet, only thing is its an 1 1/2 hour drive to Bristol, but I don't mind too much.

Who said to go to Bristol? That's an hour from me. dragongreengolf can travel down to us.  :grin:

There were some nice MK3s there, couple of really clean red ones too which caught my eye. Respray for me would be last on the list as I also want an engine conversion.

Have to get some southerners together, screw the big boys up north.  :laugh:

Think I'm going valver but looking into how to get the most from the engine, you can realistically achieve 180-190bhp from one. Still researching it though. What about you?

Well been putting a couple cheeky bids on some 1.8t lumps but probably gunna go abf as I like the look of the engine and the sound. I'm gunna strip it down and reprint and rebuild back up before it goes in the car. How do you get 180 out of one? As that would be sweet! And more then enuff power for me.
