The NW crew is leading the way and needs a challange

P.S Daisy please shrink youre avitar its huge!

Most are still trying to finish cars, I no i am. The other thing is SW is SOUTH, SE is SOUTH! You may get a better response if you generalise the meet as a South meet instead of SW. Jus tryin ta help :dontknow:

Daisy,

How about just fixing a date and time at somewhere reasonably logical and see who turns up!

I tink that wud be best. COME ON PEOPLE, SUPPORT THE CAUSE. The original and STILL the best

OK Dokey - I'm based in Yeovil, Somerset and there are a few others in this areas as well who are well up for a meet dependant on where and when.

So I'm in, but might come in comfort rather than the MK1 if its too far away  

I'm in Berkshire but really want to get mine finished before I go to any meets…. VW Virgin an' all and want to turn up in mine than go round looking at all the others thinking 'I wish mine was finished'… about a month away though, finger's crossed!

No!!!

What is the point in having a Mk1 Owners Club meet, if all the members turn up in their every day barges cos it's too far!
An un-official rule is needed - Members MUST turn up in their Mk1's if attending a meet!  

another reason why i need to finish mine!  

Al does have a point though, would be a let down going to a mk1 meet so see everyone's mk1's to find out there's the daily tat (well, that could just be mine ) there

My point being that I would not drive my MK1 100+ miles to a meet guys and then all the way back again. For me it would cost a small bloody fortune, and if its raining then call me a girlie, but the MK1 stays indoors I'm afraid. And not being funny, but knowing my luck no bugger would show up and it would be a wasted journey. And before people say that wouldn;t happen, been there done it got the t-shirt. And wasted a lot of time and effort where people just don;t show.

Personally, I believe that the regions need to be defined correctly, ie South West is SourthWest and not the south otherwise the region will become so large that we will never agree on a place to meet due to distance and it would become diffcult to manage.

So if the rule is that you must attend in your MK1 then you want be seeing me over the winter months at any meet I'm afraid as SORN takes affect during winter  :wink: So looks like the Club is already filtering out people based on certain rules and regs  :cry:  :wink:    

Can't blame you for wanting to look after your car and not wanting to drive so far in it! girlie    :wink:

in all seriousness though there does need more defined regions, SOUTH meet could be anywhere as far as Land's end!!

what's the Ace cafe meet like for VW's? anyone go?

Well that is the price you pay for having a tidy MK1. Taking her off the road in winter you big wuss! MK1's are meant for driving, get em driven!
Ok so I may have a rat mobile but at least I can drive the thing without the worry of "getting her dirty" or "putting the miles on her"!

Agree about smaller regions!

P.S NW are the daddies!

Not sure smaller regions would help you though Kins… any less than 200 mile region wouldn't cover many people i would have thought  :wink:

15 years of ownership guys - you become a "little" attached to things you know  :wink:  :wink: And I'd never get anothe rone of these cars so am determined to keep it as "clean" and rust free as possible  :wink:  :tlc:

Region wise, up north, its only 70 miles from newcastle to Gretna Green so you can meet half way, but down south its like 100+ miles to London from here or 100+ miles to Cornwall so its a BIG Area to just define as South imo. We could spilt into South West, South, South East, and then perhaps arrnage a big meet say once a qtr for these regions.

But hey, I won't be there will I ??  

think your Mk1 needs a friend  :wink: one you can take to meets that isn't so rare!

cheers for the pointer,

and turbo come in what you like be good to see a face,

Any ideas anyone.

Taunton M5 junction is fine by me  :wink: .

There are to places close to the junction. One is a Harvester - big carpark. Club GTI meet is held there once a month, an dthen there is another pub again right on the junction, bigish carpark - nice beer garden for the summer months.
