Any mk6'ers up for Castle Combe on July 16th?
« on: 29 June 2011, 19:47 »
Right, following this thread http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=186440.0
 
Are any of you mk6'ers planning a visit to the event?  http://www.autometrix.co.uk/trackdays.html

It would be good to meet up with a few of you to chat mk6 specific stuff as well as meeting a load of the other guys off the forum and also catching up with a few of the guys I've not seen for a few years.

And now before any of the Globals throw a hissy fit at this thread it is mk6 specific as I'd like to have a nose at the reverse camera and where the wiring goes and the original wiring on factory fit xenons with retro-fits in mind if anyone attending has these fitted.

For those that have never been before, have a good read of the thread in the meets section and post up in there, but to give you a feel for the event; it's a bit like Inters (run by the same people) but it's at a live race-track and is on a much much smaller scale than Inters.
There's usually a good presence of trade stands and there are always deals going, especially remaps and the like. Plus there's a show'n'shine and other VW show type stuff.
It's always a nice atmosphere, less barryboys than at Inters and it's a good place to meet up with people as it's quite compact (apart from when you're wandering around the track).

Echo those comments  :smiley:

I've organised the club stand for the last 3 years and we've always had a good turnout and a cracking day; especially when you watch someone total expensive machinery like an R36 Passat like last year  :laugh: :laugh:

It'd be great to meet you Jim, and to see the car.
See if there's any spaces left on the forum stand and then the mk3 boys will have two of us to take the piss out of!!!

Plenty of space left; currently no MK3's on the stand but they'll be enough of us to take the piss out of you  :tongue:

I'd like to go. Bomb down the M4 and viola!
Only problemo might be I would have just undergone surgery on my left rotator cuff. Might have to go by helicopter instead which negates the whole purpose.
I wonder if I can retro-fit a shoulder joint?
