Not sure if this has been posted before but I'm definitely going as it's a one off event. Only 150 places available (60 taken so far) plus free food, what's not to like?!
Whoops! link here: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/general-pistonheads/celebrate-40-years-of-the-golf-gti/34752

I have put my name down. Its on my doorstep, so why not and I own a GTi. Some rather strict rules, but all it is 40 year celebration of the GTI after all.
-
Put my name down. What do you do, just tell them your username on the gate? Or is it first come first served type thing?
-
I would have thought they have a list of usernames that they tick off once you arrive. Great to see there are already 2 people signed up :happy2:
-
Just read that members will receive an email with the ticket a few days before the event. :happy2:

As a new Pirelli Owner, and long term PHer I was keen to go to this, but if the traffic is light it's 6 hour round trip, for a 3 hour event so I'm going to have to give it a miss. A shame!
-
I'm bailing out too I'm afraid. It's a 8 hour round trip for me plus the weather isn't looking great, was hoping to get the car gleaming tomorrow but that's just not going to happen.
-
I gather that the event is now full (was limited to 150 places). If anybody has a ticket that they are not going to use perhaps they could pass on to someone on the forum who want's to go but can't get a ticket..... like @CosmicGTI (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=16776)
[I have a ticket, but I'm going to go]
-
I've also put my name to go to this. Looking forward to it.
-
Got my email this morning
-
I ready and raring to go....

Looks like we might get a break in the weather tomorrow in MK.
-
Looking forward to it.
Weather forecast says might be dry in MK until around 1pm.
-
I'll be there..
-
Yep. Im the steel grey five door with what could be the worst white wormed alloys there. Its a shame as theyre getting refurbed monday...
-
Good event with some lovely cars. Spooted gixerbens pirelli and foogles car as well.
-
It was a great PH meet and my first. Very relaxed and chilled event and the weather played ball too :happy2:

Was a great morning :) nice to meet you @rashg60 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=11930); I'm sure I spoke to a couple of others from here just without putting names to faces. Also spotted some other familiar usernames in windscreens. Great selection of cars to have a nose around, really enjoyable!

Yes I agree, fantastic chilled out event. Had to leave slightly earlier, as had a 5 hour drive in front of me! Anything interesting happen after I left/towards the end of the event that I missed out on? Did they pick a car of the show?
Nice to meet you too. Sorry to point out the bendy bit on your front splitter - I kinda felt bad after. Now that's another thing that will annoy you when you look at it!

haha don't worry, I'm glad you pointed out the splitter dent. Now I know to try and sort it out :thinking:
More of the same after you left. Yeah, the car of the show got parked in front of the reception area. Was an immaculate, red, mk1 I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm definitely not an expert on the early GTIs! (Not an expert on anything, actually :rolleye:)

Some pics that I managed to take:
