FOR TODAYS MEET.

TURBTECHNICSMK1 hope to see you there next month in your mk1, and a few more.

:clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :y:

Very well done Daisy. Glad it came off in the end. Its a nightmare trying to find a spot to suit everyone and once decided upon you sit back and wonder whether anyone will turn up!!

Our 1st meet was good, 5 guys…none called 'Mo' as it happens, arrived in good time. I am looking forward to the next meet as Mrs Dano has agreed to let me play out. She's even contemplating coming along with BabyDub in the Mk3 16v!!!

Dan (I'll shut up now ops: )

Hope the little uns well.

Top man Daisy! Im glad its kicked off well! 8)  I'll see if i can get down there next month. Im not very good with roads/directions, i thought the M4 was a little closer to me! LOL!

Nice pic's
Nice Cabriolets

What no tin tops ?

Shame i know but they are being done as we speak, Mark83 has some great plans for his, but were keeping that ssshhhhh for the time being.

be great to see more people at future meets, i know you all have to travel a little far, but come on you meet a great bunch, and get lots of info, and share a great interest,

the mk1 :notworthy:

What no tin tops ?

On my trip up to the meet there was a red tin top GTI with (I think) the reg VTP 969Y that I was sure must have been going to the meet but it never showed! I was stuck in traffic on the motorway going in the same direction and got his attention, he looked a little shocked that another Mk1 was waving! He turned off for Taunton but at the wrong junction!

I saw a few other cabs on the trip back too, looks like theres a load more owners that need capturing!

It was great to be part of the first meet and to meet those I did and well done to Daisy for finally getting the meet off the ground.  :clap: I tried when the old forum was still alive but failed miserably!

When I get my tin top back on the road I'll take it for a spin up to Taunton, it'll be a nice run for it. It took me 2 hours to get there but only 1 on the way back, traffic was much better.

that was me, kind of got lost and ended up stuck in traffic for hours  ops:

maybe next time I could follow you Ross?

gutting I didnt make it, sorry guys, next time for sure

p.s its only a driver  8)

sorry for the….

he looked a little shocked that another Mk1 was waving!

I was a bit harsh, please dont take offence! Its a bit difficult in slow moving traffic to take your eye off the road too much.

I almost missed everyone there too due to the traffic, and I did actually take the same exit as you to try and get their quicker by going through Taunton but it didn't help. I would have been gutted too if I had missed it after driving for so long, I bet it took you a fair while just to get there from Exeter as well.

p.s its only a driver

It was the tailgate decal that foxed me! Looks like a nice tidy car you have.

the cars not to shabby, yours looked very nice

Me and my girlfriend where auctually meeting one of her friends at 4 in Taunton so it wasnt a total disaster.

I saw another re mk1 cab driving through Taunton and a golf Rallye which looked mint

Sorry to hear that you got lost, and thanks for driving up, shame would of looked great to of had a tin top in the photos,

Hope to see you next month,

Traffic was bad took me an hour and a half to get there and only 40 mins to get home, lets fill that car park next time.

Darren.

At last we managed a sw meet well done darren for getting it sorted.I think we are meeting on a sunday next time (less traffic hopefully)
 
    maltloaf have you fitted your bumper yet!!

Great Daisy a success well done! Now you've got the ball rolling it should be easy.

No tin tops though unlucky! I think we should have a point system with bonus points for tin tops and caddys!

I think its because all you poncey southerners prefer the cabs to pose in. You do have the better weather!

Right I?m getting back to my hotpot, yum……..

We are still the champions so better luck next time. :wink:
