Gti_Fly Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 For everyone that's going, you got your cars ready for the show? My baby's tucked away in the garage, nice and shiney! I'll be on the Uk-mkiv's stand, apparently they've hired Charlie Chuck to do a 1hour stand up session on Sunday, so you can't miss the stand!

Decked Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I wish......... My car has finally been finished but it's not starting! Just hoping it's sorted ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 My garage door has just bust! It's raining! I've just been invited to pose my GTI on The TTshop stand and obviously she needs to be clean! But your problem is worse, DeckedR32 - I hope you get her started.

jimmyp Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Well mine is out in the rain as we speak, probably won't get the chance to clean her before sunday unless its decent weather tomorrow, and if its not it going on the stand dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfgirl Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Are you on the mkiv's stand Claire? [/ QUOTE ] Only on Sunday, am on Rubbadubz stand on Saturday (local group). [ QUOTE ] Going up the strip too? [/ QUOTE ] Not sure about the strip - my clutch didn't like it at Santa Pod and I want to be able to get home on Sunday! Would like to but don't know if I dare! I've just been out to wash my car. As soon as I'd got the hosepipe out and filled the bucket up it started raining so I gave up. I've got one and a half clean wheels Might take it to the jet wash later to get the worst of the crap off but it isn't really that dirty anyway. Our campsite has a really dusty drive too so not much point anyway, especially as the ground is probably going to be soft and I'll get mud splattered up the sides!

Gti_Fly Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 What a day! Couple of the guys on the stand got their cars stuck on the grass.. had to get pulled out by the tractor - hahahaha omg was it a mud bath today! Nice to have met SirHenri (Bi-turbo HPA R32) and his gang (R32 mk4 dsg, mk5 R32), who had come over all the way from Germany.. Got to see the white 650bhp W12 Gti concept car - looks absolutely stunning. It's a bit like a Clio V6 on super steriods - every body panel is bulging.. There was some great quarter mile races - some mad 4wd Siricco that did 0-60 in 3 secs, and 1/4 mile in 10.xx sec Oh and top it all off, I saw a new shape prototype Mini Cooper estate in fosse park! Try and upload some pics later Hopefully tomorrow wont be as muddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 ....I guess the ground will still be wet . My car's going to be on a stand so I hope I won't need the tractor. I'm clean 'n shiney now, but for how long? Sounds a great day, Gti_Fly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
