Rich

....I've got a 'spare' set of genuine Monza 18's which are smoked chrome powdercoated but no tyres. Obviously, any damage whatsoever would have to be repaired at your cost by A1 in Wolverhampton < Sorry to have to say that but I'm sure you'd be saying the same. Tyres could be a hassle for just 2-3 weeks so perhaps someone could lend you their winter wheels n tyres for example.

Thanks for the offer Robin... i think id rather take some slightly 'buggered' ones with tyres, rather than mint alloys. I would be saying exactly the same, to the point where if i had some mint alloys i wouldn't even offer them out, so i appreciate your offer even more.  :happy2:

Anyone else? Even monza 17s would do.

@ Rich:

If you don't get any joy in this thread, mate, then start a new thread - There might be someone who is within driving distance but who doesn't usually come to our meets at JnH. I sold my 17s last winter after not using them for years! I got a nice rock for my garden out of it as an extra bonus too!

....Yep. I'd just done the deal with the 17's, cash in back pocket, cruising down a narrow country lane in Somerset... Et voila! A very untidy pile of rocks on the roadside and one of them pleading with me to take her home. It would have been rude to say no  :evilgrin: I was tempted to take one of her mates as well but heard a car approaching so decided it best to hot foot it. Every one of my rocks has a story to tell.

A friend of mine's missus made this and stuck it in their window:

Rich I'll more likely than not have my buggered R1s available with close-to-legal-limit rubber if you're not gonna do too many miles. Should have my new set soon  :party: better get them ordered today!

Had missed that this had moved tot he 5th May which is annoying as until yesterday I didnt have anything planned for Thursday night but now have drinks in memory of a friend so wont be able to make it until end of May do people fancy doing another meet towards the end of May last Thursday of the month?

Just moved to Woking so looking forward to making it to one of these  :smiley:

....I know that the 5th May meet is for April but these monthly meets come up really fast and I think that having a later one in May would be too soon. Just try and reserve the last Thursday in June if you can.

However, if other folks feel differently and want an end of May meet as well, please say so and I'll organise it accordingly.

An alternative would be to switch to the first Thursday of the month starting in June. I best check if any clashes with other VeeDub events/meets.

You wont have seen me as Ive only been in woking for just over a week, I was parked up in onslow crescent when I was looking for a house nice area closer to the station than I am (I have the pleasure of commuting into London everyday  :sad1:  Animal has a silver R32 doesnt he?  from your avatar Bendy looks like you have a black GTI is it an ED?  Im in a black more door with some Monza IIs and mudflaps 05 reg and xenons are the most obvious attributes so difficult to spot!

Silver R indeed and I'm very close to you Bendy. There are several decent MkVs around, one of my neighbours has a black 56 R32 5dr (nice chap, has only ever own Golfs) and good friend of mine down the road has a red 08 more-door GTI. Rich, I'm pretty sure I've seen you around town as there aren't many GTIs with xenons locally that I've seen. My car is on a private S 'plate before you go flashing the other silver R I've seen around. He looks twice my age but drives like a 17yo - best avoided.

You might well have spotted me were you in the R?  I am still trying to get used to the roads so dont have much spare time for staring around me at the moment so apologies if I miss you give me a flash and I should notice  :signLOL:  Although you might not be sure if I'm an enthuisiast as the car looks like any-other although I do have one of VC stickers waiting to find it home on the rear window.

Maybe we should have a mini Woking meet before the JnH after the 5th since I cant make it.  I met another guy on here the other day with a 3 door silver R32 fast monkey who's on the outskirts of woking.

....No problem, Phil.

The number on the list is just to make sure I book enough space for us regardless of who eats or doesn't eat or how late they manage to come  :happy2:

The weather in most places has turned chilly and it could even rain and so I don't think this is the right meet for booking outside this time. We need to be in a more settled sunny spell, so perhaps next month.

Unfortunately I'm now not going to be able to attend but have booked it and will continue to liaise.

I've just spoken with Candice @ JnH and she has confirmed it's chilly there too and so it'll be indoors. Upstairs space isn't now available (I should have taken the name of whom I booked it with) but it's no problem and she'll create an area for us with 3 big tables put together.

Don't worry guys - I'm sure there'll be at least 8 if not 10 or more attending.

Would someone please post after the meet exactly how many people were there. If JnH have gone to the trouble of setting aside an extra big space and we don't use it I may want to apologise to them just to keep them staying helpful for the future.  :happy2:

For those who aren't coming until later, JnH are expecting you all to go in at around 7:30pm so please don't be too late on that. Thanks.

Annoyingly I didn't get back from Gloucester until 9.30pm - even later than expected. Damn work.
I was in two minds whether to fly by for a swift drink being loca,l but i was pretty knackered as it was an early start too.
