Ok, whatever, ask him if he wants it then, Haze hasn't replied yet.

Hazel(GHIA) has a place, just contacted mk1dcky and he has a place on another stand.

The whole day making sure the love of my life is thoroughly clean hasn't been wasted. Oh and he's bring the Mk1 Cab along too. Thanks, Bella.

Smashing but only just seen this.  Have emailed Stu re handover of ticket etc.  Just sending Ben out to wash car since still filthy from AGM deluge.  C u all there.  Anna I will pm you bens mobile to liaise.

I have spent all day cleaning up my MK1.  I hope she's good enough for you all and does the club proud.

I'm still a very nervous show virgin!  :redfaced:

But a very excited one!  :cheer:

Well what a day of disasters !!!

Set out to put my gear selector cables back in - took my time and had it sorted by 3pm - all good.

Speedo had stopped working, from the back it looked like the cable had come out of the back of the clocks. So I whipped the clocks out to find it had snapped at the end. And then disaster struck - I turned the wheel and smoke and a flame erupted from the steering column, mad panic to disconnect the battery :-(

One wire had melted big time, the thing on the steering wheel that cancels the turn signals had been eroding some plastic and it had eventually got through to a track that was live, hence the short :-( I replaced the wire and guess what she would not start :-( Horrible blown ECU thoughts started to go through my mind - all the fuses were ok. So now it's 8pm and I am very sad sitting inside my car :-(

Cue brain wave the melted wire was also connected to the ignition switch, I whipped out my spare and she started - cue running round the car in the rain !!!

At 9:30pm she was all back together. So no speedo and the rev counter has stopped - but I know why that is !!

Hopefully see you all there tomorrow.

Hope she is getting all her issues out of the way before Germany !!

Shopping list for tomorrow, ignition switch, speedo cable and mk2 Golf indicator stalk assembly !!

See you all tomorrow, I hope !!

Top class Anna! Thanks for the place in the club stand! X

Brilliant day - thanks for the club stand place and for making me feel welcome.

Hi got home about 6.45 my clutch repair has got
us home no prob but we hit standing water just pass
JN 23 on the m6 and the first part of the m55 was like driving through a river
But the day was brill .A job well done Anna everyone was  so friendly and chatty it even perked peggy up a bit as shes just out of hospital and wasnt feeling her best. well organised anna.    

Excellent day out, great weather and a great drive home in the rain. And I still made it home half an hour quicker than the missus who left 25 minutes earlier!!  

A big thank you to Anna, the organisers and everyone there, Irvin has not stopped talking about what a great day I've missed him and Andy out in the glorious sunshine and me at work. I will certainly be aty the next event.

But just so that no one thinks we are the smug ones, as the rain came down hard on Barton Bridge (M60) the drivers side windscreen wiper decided to part company with the arm, fortunately it lodged on the screen and after a hairy few moments on the hard shoulder things were back to normal.

Look forward to meeting you all soon.

good day nice to see the stand with all the cars looking good thank god the weather held up.
good work again Anna
