Hi all-advice please for newbie attending Gaydon

Hello, am going to attend my first meet ever at Gaydon this weekend, sadly I wont have my mk1 gti with me as it is not yet roadworthy. My missus is stressing about facilities as I have persuaded her to camp out, so whats it like please?

Also more importantly, do people bring parts to sell? I have a couple of bits but am after looooaaaads!

Should I try and bring some pics of my mk1 as I need loads of help with restoring her, am a new starter and am gutted she cant chug over and get you all under the bonnet.

See you all Saturday!

Cheers

Larry.

Not been before myself but defo bring ya pics were a very friendlt bunch on here !

:y:

There are showers and loos. Fairly basic (portakabin types).
DJev providing the evening entertainment (and not to forget Walt's dancing demo  8O )

Last year was VERY wet, but those of us that made the effort to go still had a good time!!

We're meeting up with ew and convoying. Do you want to meet up with us somewhere, South Mimms maybe and cruise up with us??

South Mimms sounds perfect, what time on Sat are you leaving? I will organise my mate so we can meet you at Mimms!

We're leaving Takeley at about 10:30

I'll check in with Glen later about timings and let you know.

 

I may be coming up on Sunday as Im working Sat,

I'm pretty sure that Crazyquiff will be there, not sure if anyone else will be selling

Thanks Glen  :wink:

Seems we are meeting at Buntingford at 11am. Cross country route, Im guessing a507 to m1?

Think m25 m40 may be easier but Pete phoned to say cross country it is!

My mate may be meeting us if he has time, red mk1 x reg - very nice.

I am in a black audi tt (my sisters - as my saxo (the shame) has gone bang today). Have been tinkering with my mk1 today and am sick that I cant take it.

got me some sun visors, arm rests, parcel shelf and supports and fitted new battery, still cant get it to start tho! :-(.

Have got some pics to show you, if you want to phone me tomorrow morning you can take a look, my mk1 is literally 500 yards from BP garage we are meeting at, so if you wanna be 10 mins early? Pete has my number.

see you soon.

cheers

Larry.

Hiya!

I'm sure we can take a detour to have a nose at your mk1!  :wink:

Pete knows where you are, so we can maybe come straight to you and go from there???

We'll confirm in the morning, or maybe Glen can tonight if he spots this.

Reason for cross country is to cruise and avoid the motorway. Took us something like 4 hours last year because we got caught.   

See you tomorrow  

Always got time to look at a mk1 :wink:

As for the M25…..

"Many phenomena ? wars, plagues, sudden audits ? have been advanced as evidence for the hidden hand of Satan in the affairs of Man, but whenever students of demonology get together the M25 London orbital motorway is generally agreed to be among the top contenders for exhibit A."
