Be good to try get as many people involved as possible,
Preliminary dates etc are a good place to start

let me know if things get sorted for a meet- live in whitley bay my Mk1 not on road after respray but would come along anyway faces to names and all that
Wow your just up the road from me although im new to mk1 ownership after corrados and lupos……
Meet is deffo a viable plan though
Anyone with ideas on locations please have an input
Might be worth contacting VW deler network and doing it at a dealer, good free press for them etc

Sounds nice !!
Iv given her a full fluid and filter change, timing belt, dizzy cap and rotor arm !
She has a Wbber 32/34 carb with a huge exhaust special made stainless getting a K&N air filter next month, iv got rid of all the rust sports resprayed her myself where she needed it, turned out ok i think but she does need a full spray next year.
The roof is only 2 years old, elec as well, just need some new scraper seals for the front doors and she will be mint for the cold weather coming.

As for meet times im affraid im working every weekend uintill sat 6th Nov!! bloody crap shift pattern but perhaps arranging a monthly meet the 1st weekend of every month or something like that and alternating the location north and south of the tyne and so on?
Perhaps for the winter months meets with a pub or smething near by may be a good idea as noone like to be in the cold for too long even if MK1s are involved as lets face it we spend winter days underneath the bloody thinhs ;-)

Excellent !!
And a s for location that sound fine as well, we could have a different location each time, like say one month at mine and we will have it near me, then someone else and have it near them and so on !!
Cool !!
I am up for it all we need to do now is set a date 1st/2nd of November ?? and i dont mind been first to pick the place to meet, unless someone else wants to do it first.
Oh another thing is do we need any sort of permission of the web sites founders to do this ??

Im usure as to website permision im unsure but i believe its an open forum, it may be worth checking up on though so we know were not treading on anyones toes.
Im pretty easy as far as location is concerned but perhaps something central to the north and south of the region for the 1st one so its as easy as possible for everyone? Could be worth looking at specialist VW garages etc if they had land we could use for free publicity althought unlike a lot of meets i cant see the police needing to interveen with a mk1 owners meet so public areas are prob not a worry, only thing being that the proposed time of 2pm there will be a lot of people using car parks so this needs to be considered.
Planman if you need anyhelp getting your car sorted give me a shout…….

I think weardale etc are good for summer but as the cold and wet weather arrives more central/easy to reach locations may be more suited

Is there a way of getting something up in the regions section (on the left panel, not in the forum) as I'm sure loads of people click on it and are also disappointed to see no meets
