Title: Scottish or NE meet?
Post by: Truckie on February 13, 2010, 07:19:19 pm
As title suggests..anyone fancy getting a load of mk5's together in Scotland or the North east?
I would love to re create the forum pic and include my car  :ashamed:  :driver:

There are a few scottish mk5's i believe on here, but theres not a lot over on the scottish vag scene!  :fighting:

Ok Guys, been following this thread and see that the 11th of April is being suggested as a meet at Crail, is this happening or are we still at suggestion stage?

Think it would be a good thing for everyone to meet up as there is now plenty of nice MKV GTi's in Scotland.

Think someone needs to take charge and get this moving and im not suggesting myself as have got to much on at the mo.

cheers

Iain
