Are you guys members and registering on the Pistonheads list? I think normally PH put a limit on the attendance of these events to members, and those listed on the event list.

How do they know you are on the list? Anyone can just turn up and park in the PHers car park so if 400 cars get there before you then you're buggered.

This is the latest on Pistonheads regarding the VW Sunday Service

Hello Chaps

Extraordinary Announcement.

As the event is becoming full very quickly indeed, we are going to temporarily close sign ups for now, to give those who have not yet seen the story the chance to sign up next week. A lot of new new members have signed up to the site simply to attend this meet, and we want to ensure that PH members have the opportunity to join us too.

We run the risk of the event filling up very quickly indeed, and by using this method we can ensure that those who view the site over the weekend will still have the chance to sign up next week.

Entry will open again on Monday at midday

Thanks for your understanding, the reaction has certainly taken us by surprise

To be fair, what makes the Pistonheads meets always so good is the amount of different cars that turn up! Really varied and interesting turn-out normally! Thats why I think that a few of them kicked off on the Pistonheads forum that so many VAG group cars were planning on coming. (not really helped by me on here haha!)

Was similar on the last Sunday Service at BMW HQ in Bracknell, surprising (or not!) there were more BMW's than other marques, but as Chris has said it is nice to see such a diverse range of motors coming together too.

I then fail to see why they are surprised that a bunch of newbies have joined that have VW's. :surprised:

I wouldn't worry about them. Whilst I can see their point, they're being a little short sighted if you ask me. At the end of the day, this event has probably given them 20 new members from this forum alone. Thats 20 new members, who may from now on actively partake in their forums and add to their community - as a direct result of what promises to be a great gathering of both people and cars.

I perceive Pistonheads to be a forum/community that brings together all marques, and so if they seek to limit the amount of VAG presence there then they are going against their purpose and values really.

Inevitably many people on that list won't turn up, with a constant flow of cars it shouldn't be an issue really.

We have been giving the matter of the PH/VW Sunday Service some thought over the past 24 hours and, with regret, we announce that the Volkswagen Sunday Service will be postponed. A new date will follow shortly and we would like to offer our apologies to those who have already signed up and to our hosts at VW.

Shortly after announcing the date we saw unprecedented levels of sign-up resulting in the full 400 capacity being filled within the space of 48 hours or so. Since then it has been apparent that word has spread across other motoring forums and we found ourselves in a position where attendance levels were out of our control. Not only does this cause concern for both PH and our hosts, it also means that we could not guarantee a space would be available for all those who had signed up on the attendance list.

This meet also made it clear to us that the sign-up procedure needs some work to avoid people being knocked off the list, and that will be sorted when we announce the new date. The increasing popularity of PH meets has highlighted how ineffective the current signing-up method is and we will work on a new system that offers a fair sign-up to existing members and also protects those who have already signed up when other members add their details.

PistonHeads Sunday Service meets offer members the opportunity to meet other members and view a wide variety of cars. This meet saw an influx of new members joining and, along with the publicity gathering momentum on other forums, there was a real possibility that this meet would be largely populated by cars made by the host manufacturer. Not only do our hosts want to see a wide range of PH metal, but we also want Sunday Service meets to be as diverse as possible - that's what makes them so interesting and we'll work hard to keep them that way.

Once again, we offer our apologies to those that have signed up to the original date. We are meeting with VW UK later this week and, once we have discussed the situation (and worked on the sign-up procedure), we will announce new details for this meet and a new sign up list will be created.

Once again, please note that the meet on the 21st February has been temporarily postponed

Surely they could of seen this happening! IF the meet was held at Prodrive for example there would be a large influx of "Scoobys" and the place would have more of them than any other marque.

People who are "car people" are on more forums other than PH. I would prefer to go to a meet where there were lots of cars rather than hardly any.

Maybe things would be looked upon differently if we were TVR owners.

Lets keep the same date and get a meeting at another location.

Yes, I know Willen lake well (used to live in area). I think we should run a Pistonheads take over meet and do something on the date as it sounds like lots of people wee up to go in the first instance. I find the whole thing a bit trivial really. Have turned up to the past few Sunday breakfasts through word of mouth without even being on Pistonheads as a member, open about it and people accepting of it. Perhaps it is more a reflection on a passionate and engaging VW community  :happy2:

Weve had a couple of meets that were just that, us meeting at a pub having a gander at each other's cars and some scran! And those work for me! There will be plenty of shows in the coming months and I thought this suggestion would be ideal for us to just get together as a forum and have a natter!  :wink: :happy2:

is that still associated with paul "what a complete tool of a man" cave?  :laugh:

he sold me a £3000 drag engine out of his old square, promising me due to his cast iron reputation in the scene it was 100% good

was nothing more than wrecked metal, then when i questioned him i got the ban hammer lifted by scene trolls  :fighting2:

refuse to go to that show now if it involves putting anymore money in his pocket :fighting:

Surely the poll is a waste of time. If you want to go to the pod, go to the pod? Why let someone else make a decision for you?

If you want a meet in MK then someone organise it and do it?  :confused:

I won't be making any decisions until I have an answer back on something else.

....I see your point (I didn't start the poll, btw) but at least it's an indication of people's preferences. Bottom line is that, like everyone else, I'll go or not to whichever I want, regardless.
