Standard for the 4/10 Portsmouth Rolling Road day
« on: 28 September 2008, 20:10 »
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:

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:

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:
