A right royal GolfGTI day out!
« on: 09 January 2012, 14:02 »
Ive been a thinking, does anyone else agree that a proper forum meet would be awesome? Centered around a RR day, perhaps something like the event below? Even if my car was to low to run on that particular rolling road!

http://www.golfgti.co.uk/viewpastevents.asp?eventID=61

I was thinking somewhere around northants/midlands as it makes the event more open to people as it puts it within a 2 hour travel time of a lot of users. I know its still not ideal for the peeps in the far north but my moving further up the country i feel it would then isolate the south coasters an make the teavel time not worth it.

Id really like something like this to happen as at the mo Rolling road days seem to split between North and South. And a rolling road day of forum members only might be more appealing to the newer peeps among us an Some MK5/MK6 owners as shows might not be there thing.

Im sure a day spent inhaling fumes an watching BHP figures is something that appeals to us all!

Id be happy to dedicate a lot of time to assisting/organising this if officially sanctioned by the gods an there is enough genuine interest.

An mods i know this should be in events but will get more exposure here  :kiss:

I'm up in Scotland so most places in England will be a bit of a trek, but I like the sound of it.

If we were going to go to Silverstone could we not organise some track time too?

We have hundreds of members so I'm sure we could get enough numbers to justify a private session or two.

Sh*t... gimme time to get mine back on the road, I'm up for it.  So far I've only met people at shows and depending where the show is depends on who you meet, well apart from Chuff of course.

I'd come along...but my car would just be overshadowed by some of the beats on this site  :undecided: :embarassed:

I'd probably have to kill my self if Jonnyturbos mk4 parked next to me.

Yeah by coincedence i'll be running an audi bummers meet on the same day... Guess i can merge them!

An yeah, lanarkshire is Faaaaarr! Hopefully we can make a proper day of It so its worth your while coming down. Dont know about track time as that will mean expense, dont know how comfortable peeps would be with that but it can certainly be looked at. An hundreds of
Members can sometimes mean lots of interest, 50 confirming, 8 turning up!
