MK1 OC Annual Show 26th,27th July 2008

I'm going to be there both days
I see that they have go-karts there aswell as other things going on perhaps we could have a competition on them, Tin tops v Soft tops. What ever it is going to be a bit of fun if all is well.

Oh and we have 3 special guests too  :shhh:

Is it the presenters from Fifth Gear??? I know the girl presenter had a mk1 Golf that she loved to bits  :notworthy:  :notworthy:

I will be there friday night

Cant really afford to hire a trailer to drag my mk1 up behind the camper..
     

so if anyone from berkshire etc who's going but not in a mk1 wants to drive mine up there instead then let me know.

i'd love to help steve, i'm only insured third party though so i can't. really hope someone can help you out!

We have approached the peeps running the karts and they can do us a deal, we just have to see when we can fit in in.

I have a trailer but the round trip costs to collect and return it would be sky-high! Can you bring just the Mk1 and a tent?

I'll be leaving a perfectly decent Mercedes and Mk1 Scirocco at home, because I'll be in my Mk1 Golf and camping in a tent. Being at a Mk1 Golf OC meet without a Mk1 Golf, isn't quite the same. (Fully respect those who are still coming for the love of the Mk1 tho!)

Well if anyone wants to send me ?60 for the trailer hire, I'll happily drag it up behind the camper..

Plus MrsLawsy will NOT stay in a tent cos of her bad back

I see, so you're forced to choose between the bread knife and the Mk1 Golf+tent. Hmmmmmmmmm…………………

Nope.. no ones forcing me at all..
I dont own a tent and am not going out to buy one, plus airbed, sleeping bags blah blah blah just to please you lot..
I have a perfectly adequate camper that is cool… No one moaned last time when they were sheltering in it drinking me tea…  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Whats the fascination about what vehicle I'm coming in anyways, this year has been a nightmare for me and to finally get a banger of a mk1 has been a massive acheivment for us, so if its staying at home then so be it, I cant afford to hire a trailer and Wendy doesnt drive.
I've asked if anyone in this area who is going but not in a mk1 wants to drive it up there, no takers

So for the last time, drop this conversation cos along with this and the trailer one its really starting to bug me…

so unless anyone has a SENSIBLE offer then shut up!!!!

Hi ant,wife and all…
