GTI spring festival

cracking day. saw a few of our mk1's and floppy topped pretenders, but only met a couple of owners. doubt there will be any pics of my unwashed mk1, as she spent all day on the strip. 2hr drive there, 5hrs on the strip, 20 minutes rest, 2 1/2hr drive home.
 what a girl eh.
 good to see the faces that i did see, sorry i missed the ones i didn't.


 did anyone else notice, i was the most ruggedly hansom bloke at santa pod today?

what time did you do on the strip? apart from 5hrs! i was there today with the wife was a good day

which car was yours?

got on the strip about 9.30ish got off about 2.30ish. grey mk1 campaign

Damn good day that was!  Even though I was in my floppy top pretender   Respect to you Wooders, you def got your moneys worth.  I think dubstar may have a few pics of you 'doin the strip'
Some impressive times from the g60 boys too.

Good to see you guys and gals

wooders what does your car look like ive got some video of you doing the strip if its the car i think it is

i did try to find you to say hello but you were a busy boy  

sounds like you got your moneys worth   seemed like plenty of cars there but not many mk1's

would of liked to have had a run on the strip but car not on the road at the mo ,maybe next time

was you in A***THN ?

I got a few photos of today, and was nice to put faces to names , thanks for being so welcoming, and one is a shot of Wooders starting on the strip, sorry for the quality but it's an old camera :mrgreen:

some good pics there mate

had a blinding day just wish i hadnt killed a wheel bearing on the way down would have been running the strip all day long gutted tbh but thats how it goes

the next pod meet will be the cars proper unveiling running to its full potential by then hoping to get in the lows 13s if possible

wooders what was your best time?

I had a cracking day at santa pod to managed to get five runs on the strip with some good times.I always seem to have a good day at santa pod, great venue

that was dubstar74 driving/ragging up the strip in my car. all in all the mk1 did about 18 runs. best time 16.40. i wass quite pleased with that for standard. now gives me a benchmark for a bit of tweeking. will do the throttlebody and warm up reg ready for the next festival and see what difference it makes on the clock. may wash her too. she was liberaly sprinkled with autodim heat reflective dust.

Oh yeah thats me!!! Cheers for trhe run matey, I'll bring more money with me next time, to do a run myself!!!

Get them pics up, I can help with one or two names

The guy in the black mk1 with Pirellis was me
The guy in the white mk1 with bbs was MatCashmore
The lady in the purple/blue cabby with the pink flowers was VwSparky

Stacey you should've introduced yourself, the only one who was parked with us that I'd met before isnt a member but seemed really happy to get his black cabby out of the car park and park with us, which he also did at Ultimate Dubs (he reads the boards occasionally,  Mark, sign up please  :wink: )

my fave

I thought I recognised the cabby, it was yours all along! At one point you were sitting on the roll bar…living the dream ;-) You should have come over and said hi! :-)

Well unfortunately I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you, so I can't comment! ;-)


Well it was a great day with great weather, people and of course VWs! ;-) It was really good meeting people from the club putting faces to nicknames!-Thank-you to the members I spoke to…you made me (& my cabby!) feel very welcome, thank-you :-) And thank-you dubboy for encouraging me to go on the stand, my cabby felt quite spoiled!! I believe I was the last car of the club standing, but as I live round the corner it isn't really much of an achievement!! Hope to meet more from the club soon…
Cheers
Julia
