Out doors last year was fine as the weather was great, but cars just parked in lines not by year or model, so you had to keep going in circles to cover everything.
I would like to be in doors but only if the weather is bad.

Well thats the first Ireland show for the MK1 owners, I will have to get the word out and round up a few more cars for the next show.

I got a good look around both your cars on the day, both superb examples. The show was excellent with a fantastic turnout of dubs, just disappointing that there weren't more Mk1's.
I was also personally a bit disappointed by the judging of the Mk1's. I missed them doing the rounds, but the boy with the Mk1 Jetta beside me reckoned they spent all of 1 minute having a quick look, then moved on. The bodywork and paint alone on my car took a year!!!! Maybe a lack of appreciation given it is a fairly standard looking car.
I would also prefer to see all the Mk1's displayed together, mainly because it allows you to see who owns what and get chatting to like-minded enthusiasts.

Hi there… I would be of the same opinion… all mk1's parked together - looks better and you get chatting to a few of our vintage! :wink: .
I spoke to you only briefly mind you… you have a nice car… you win anything?

There's always next year!!!
You followed me in to the show if I remember correctly.
I'd definitely be in favour of an all-Ireland Mk1 owners meet/show somewhere central to us all.

Shughy, many moons ago I used to travel all over for shows, went to Limerick a couple of times, GTi International a few years on the trot etc. However, now I have a young family so my time is limited, therefore my preference would be somewhere I could get to and back in the same day without having to do an overnight stay.
We used to do a North/South Club Gti meet at Drogheda years ago at some hotel, obviously not suitable for a full on show, but the distance was manageable for us. Or even Dublin now with the new road network.

I'm just putting feelers out there at the moment…
It would appear there is some definite interest out there for an Irish Mk1 meet (both north & south).
I did dublin in 95 mins on sunday evening - steady 60mph all the way.
Will keep in contact… :wink:
