Title: Hello from Wiltshire
Post by: simonp on September 07, 2010, 12:50:44 pm: Hello peeps,

Just joined up (obviously) and will be mostly asking questions, having just bought my first VAG car! It's not the first in the household, as the missus is on her second Audi A3.

I live in Wilts, so I'll be looking out for meets if that sort of thing goes on. :happy2:

That would be nice, but I'm going to Devon on me hols that week. Thank you for the invite, though, much appreciated.

Hi back. :smiley:

I'm afraid I don't have any decent pics yet, as I only got the car a few days ago. I shall endeavour to take some next time the sun is out.

I'm also afraid I don't have a GTI either. Hope that's not a problem?

....Look out for the same meet held in October. You'll always be welcome :drinking:. Meanwhile enjoy Devon - Bright blue skies and warm sun at the moment.

Post by: simonp on September 08, 2010, 11:48:08 am: If it's the same week (the 21st?) I should be able to make it, I think. I get a week off every 4 weeks and that's in the middle of it. Could do the following Thursday, as well.

Thanks for the comments on the car. Only had it a week today. It's a 57 reg and I part exchanged a mad Renaultsport Clio 197 F1 for it. This one is a much more relaxed drive and I'm loving it so far. Already done a whole tank of fuel and am well into the 2nd!

....It's likely to be. Usually the 3rd or 4th Thursday of the month so far. I'll be starting a new thread in due course in the Meets section :happy2:
