Ultimate Dubs
2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the Mk1 Golf GTI's launch in left hand drive form. It would be another 3 years until the UK got their right hand drive versions.
Back once again for the 2016 Show Season opener that is Ultimate Dubs. This year is the 10th anniversary of the inaugural show.
Dano (North West Massive) and Daisy (South West Softies) were there representing standard and modified Mk1 Golfs in 2006.

NEC Classic Car Show
Going from strength to strength, the club raised its profile in recent years due to the hard work and knowledge of Simon Berry (Communications Manager) and Adrian Daniels (Website Manager). Together they improved the online forum, Facebook content and media releases so member knew what was happening and when.
Their efforts - and the rest of the Clubs were recognised during an awards ceremony at the National Car Club Awards on 12th November 2016.
