Wellworth the 330mile round trip - knackered now though!!
Gutted I had an oil leak and had to leave early - still made it home 31/2hours later - and the car's still driving.
Saw Quinten Wilson there - did he come down to look at our Golfs???? anyone know??

Ps. if anyone found about 80quid I dropped it - so enjoy it cause I doubt i'll see it again(dont blame you) spend it on your Golf

My personal highlight, apart from having a good look at TKY454Y again, was seeing a couple of Helios Blue Campaigns. All Golfs look cute, but there's something about that colour thats slightly magical!

Good to see so many familiar faces and a lot of new ones too. Back next year, bigger and better!
Moving this thread to 'chat' as the 'official' event report thread. Will write some stuff up at some point.
It definitely was Quentin Wilson by the way, I had a quick chat to him. He wasn't there for our event, but came along to see us once he heard about it. Spent about 1/2 an hour looking around the cars and complimenting a few owners! Top guy!
TKY454Y was amazing and a well deserved winner.
Cheers,
Drew.

Hope the membership stuff was OK. There were a few that had paid in advance who didn't turn up for what ever reason. As Drew said it will be even bigger and better next year.
On the Quentin Wilson thing, I get a Classic Cars mag each month and he writes a column there. Will keep an eye out for any mention in next few months.
Thanks to all who turned up and especially Drew for the intial foresight over 12 months ago.

Thanks to Drew, Andy and the Committee for getting it together so well.
Thanks to all the owners who put in the hard polishing work.
Thanks to Ian and Dave for getting up early to drive my Mk1s there and an impromptu steering column fix.
My only suggestion would be to add something cheap and easy to the event. How about an organised cruise around the local roads?
Back home…
Cheers

Thanks to all who made my day well worth loading that 7 1/2 tonner, unloading it again, loading up the rest at the end of the day and unloading today!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TC - I didn't realise that was you - what did you buy so i can put a name to the face?
Saw quentin - his son was having a fit (about 8 years old) cos he wouldn't buy him an ignition switch (said he had a spare already).
Only down side to manning the sales all day is that I didn't get a good chance to look round the cars - mist close for an hour next time 8O
Rajan's fleet looked ace as always :y: especially the steering wheel on the rally spec :wink:
Cheera again all
