Hello guys and girls,
I mentioned this meet in my thread and its generated some interest so I thought I best put this up as a meet for everyone else.
Its organised via the SWDUBS.CO.UK website and is for all sorts of dubs air and water cooled.
Sunday January 23rd 2011
1130am
Moto services, Exeter, J30 M5
There will be a cruise to somewhere coastal and there is mention of a Golf+ coverage.
Be great to meet up with a few of you and represent the mk5 :pomppomp:

Thanks for posting it here, James - You'll get more attention than buried in your car thread :happy2:
Dunno yet if I can make it but hope to. Is it ok just to turn up?
-
Yeah, it'll be fine just to turn up Robin. :smiley:
This meet is gathering a bit of pace now, a couple of guys I know well have mentioned it over on cupranet and there's also a link to it now on uk-mkivs; and that's just the forums I've visited in the last 10 mins!! :grin:

.
Sounds like it could be a big meet. I've checked and I'm free on 23rd so should make it providing it doesn't snow or something silly. Look forward to putting more faces to weird names! :happy2:
-
Just turning up is fine, it very much that type of meet anyway. Ill keep an eye out for ya.

....I'm not difficult to spot, and your Mk5 is also easy to spot being a rare colour :happy2:

Can't make that, as I'll be working. :sad1:
Is it a regular thing?
-
Its every 4-5 months but there are smaller more regular meets in the area. Keep an eye on the swdubs pages for details but ill try and link them up to these pages
-

....Pah! I sometimes drive 300 mile round trips to meets :evilgrin:
I guess it's how I've managed to clock up 90,000 miles.
Some meets are worth it :happy2:

True. I did all the big meets last year. The ed30 is a tad more pricey on fuel mind you!
Where are you based mate?

....About 50 miles east, so not far.
Yep, V-Power is costing around £1.40 at the moment but I'm not going to let the basturds grind me down.
-
Not too bad then. Think I bumped into you at a shell services year before last on the way to one of the shows. Would've been in my red polo GTI back then!
Hopefully see everyone Sunday!

....I've often been approached by 'strangers' at Shell stations (I exclusively use V-Power) and also often done the approaching!
I vaguely remember briefly meeting you, I think. Hope to see you Sunday. Weather looks hopeful.

Is this V-power dogging? :signLOL:

....Not forgotten! Newer front tyres replacing those worn-to-canvas, done today and full tank of V-Power. Car is very salty though from 372 miles on Thursday and 25 today. Was handwashed on Wednesday.
See ya there around 11:30am - Is there more than one car park?
-
Theres one very long one. We'll be at the top. See ya tomorrow
-
I think ill decide in the morning. Need to tank up with VPower too!

Hung over about to leave

A big turnout and all sorts of VeeDubs :notworthy:
A younger crowd than in this forum but nice and friendly. Good to meet 'chunky' and Steve < Mk5 guys.
-
Brilliant turn out, not many mk5s though. Thanks to steve for re-programming my central locking in the car park! Nice to meet you too robin. Ill get some pix up!
-
.
Most younger dudes and dudettes can't really afford Mk5's yet and the SWDubs seem a younger crowd - I can't have suddenly aged that quickly overnight! I think I counted 5 Mk5's.

Jkm's rr day as a massive 2 mk5's running lol. We are going to be outnumbered , 25 cars rolling though on the plus side.

Nice day as well even if it was cold. :happy2:
-
Good to see some of you I met briefly. I couldn't stop long as needed to get back to feed kids (who'd refused to come) and had quite a few people to catch up on, but I did manage to get to meet a few of you :happy2:
Some really nice mk5s there amongst the diversity of stuff at the meet. Really impressed with the turnout, we've had some good, big meets down this way in the past and that one is up there with the best of 'em for turnouts.
So a big 'well done' for the boys and girls who had to travel a bit of distance to get there. :drinking:
