newbie from sunny north-west.

Hello from sunny southport.This is my first post on here and joined this forum because after being around the car scene for years i`m kind of goin back to where i started 25 years ago.I used to run a 1.6 gti in silver and i am now on the look out for a small project tintop or convertible,any help or advise would be appreciated,cheers mark.

Welcome, and good luck with your search. Are you looking solely for a 1.6gti or are other engine options in the frame too?

cheers for the replies and the info regarding the projects available.Engine wise i`ll will have to see what comes up and what work they need.

Well guys i`ve not been on here for a while but i did manage to get a nice black clipper on a G plate.Been waiting for the weather to improve to get some piccies up.I`m also having a few probs trying to find any meets in my area.Does anybody know if much is happening in the north-west  or is it all down south

Hi Mark,

Have you registered in the North West section? We've just had our monthly meet last Thursday in Standish.

There'll be another in due course but in the meantime, why not come to All Types with the club. 
Get yourself 'promoted' to Paid Member status, it's only £20 and you get discounts, and you'll be on the stand providing there's room.

All Types is on Sunday 18/5/14 in North Wales. You could travel down with me if you like??? 

Cheers for the reply dan,i`ll look at joining and definitely look at getting to some meets.I was one of the starter members of the north west gtroc about 7
years ago and we used to go to the wiggin tree before it went all posh.

Ha!
That strange, when walt and I set up the NW meets in 2005 we chose the Wiggin Tree as our meet location too because of its central location. 

I know what you mean when you say 'it's gone posh', we can't use it anymore can we??!! 

Hi there and welcome along to the forum mate.

Well i finally got round to joining(kept forgetting)and i realise its the north wales all types meet on sunday.I know its a bit late but are there any spaces left on the stand?

speak to CabrioAnna i think she is organising it?

Scott

thanks scott,thing is my cars no show car at the moment and i`m not sure if it`s good enough to be on the stand.

don`t think you`ll have anything to worry about on that score…think it goes that if it`s a golf mk1, then it can go on the stand..i had the same worries at last years vw show at Tatton park and was told that condition of the car isn't an issue…it`s another mk1 golf that`s still going that counts

Car condition not important, being there IS!! 

We still have a bit of room on the club stand at All Types.
