:happy2: Cheers bud,
Do quite a few people go? Good Crowd? I hate the idea of driving over and then being ignored because I wasn't there "at the start of it" :sad1:
-
It is busy, and its just a general place that everyone knows. Its not a organised meet so it wont be like that lol.
-
haha thats good then, i searched around a little and started seeing a pattern of croydon meets, theres quite a few different groups like lupo, polo and corsa etc on different days so im guessing thursday is everyone and anyone? I think ill have to drag my friend down and pop along and try and get stuck in.

x2
What area you from? I'd like a mk5 meet mainly because im the only mk5 i see around my area haha would be nice to meet other people with the same car to discuss ideas etc etc etc and i like the sound of the pub :innocent:
-
I live in Caterham but don't travelling a little bit. In the other club i belong too we meet up, look at the cars, have some food then go for a little drive if people are up for it and its sunny. Have a think on a venue! :)
-
awsome, not too far from me. That woudn't be the kent car club by any chance?
hmm, ill have a think over the next day / evening and let you / people know and maybe get a thread going and try and arrange a meet for mk5 owners.
-
im up for a gti only meet, will come down with ktlstar no doubt :happy2:
-
No not the kent car club. I have dark side you see. My others car is jap. I'm a hybrid. I like german and jap cars. Ha ha!! :driver:
Sounds a good plan all. Get a new thread up nezquick when you have a venue sorted out!! :happy2:
-
haha like me then, i was initially going to get the intega until i was quoted on insurance :surprised: although I've always fancied a WRX, those boxer engines are shweet!
Right, Well venues etc lets discuss.
Im proposing a general meet for mk5 gti owners, I would say venue to be a pub meet with a decent car park. I'd like to meet one a weekend day initially perhaps for the first one or two so everyone has a chance to see each others cars in the day light and get to know one another. Then i'd propose once every two weeks a meet in the evening? somewhere with a nice pub garden? Then the more people get to know one another and hopefully become mates etc perhaps a pub meal and cruise evening once so many months like other meets and clubs do.
Sound good?
Now im more or less up for meeting whenever date wise, but is there any specific dates people would want to essentially start the ball rolling and agree to a particulay date? (weekend)
We could say the last weekend of this month? either the 28th or 29th?
I've got one of my mates interested but thinking numbers how many of you would like to meet?
Ill start a new thread with names tonight when i get a bit more feed back and we can do the whole post a reply with your name and picture of your car on the thread and then ill update the first
e.g.
1) me
2) mr x
3) mr z
etc etc
Also location.
Has anyone got a suggestion? this will be a meet for mainly people around beckenham, wickham, bromley, croydon and surrey area (quite large i know) so we need more or less a easy not to far location with good roads near by.
Im gunna put forward the coombe lodge in croydon.
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=coombe+lodge+croydon&hl=en&sll=51.332519,-2.723768&sspn=5.650373,9.876709&vpsrc=0&hq=coombe+lodge&hnear=Croydon,+Greater+London,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=14
Good beer gargen, decent sized car park and a nice pub. Also some good roads around with easy access to motorway (through croydon) and also some 40 roads leading out towards the country side ;)
Let me know what people think and based on opinions ill start a new thread :happy2:
Sorry for such a long post! :signLOL:
-
Sounds good to me. Coombe lodge would be quite a good venue! :happy2:
-
:smiley: awsome, well ill wait for a few more replies here before making up a new thread.
-
ok guys iv started a new thread. please put your names questions and ideas down so we can get numbers together.
-
Are we talking about the IKEA on purley way?
This is very interesting...
every thursday, whats the turnout like.
I could possible make next thursday or defo the thursday next.
-
yup, the big one. from what people say its a good turn out - its noted on a few other forums so I guess it's pretty much a fixed event now with a few break aways going for their own meets.
If you come to the gti meet at the lodge and you fancy it Ill go one thurs evening with you :happy2:
-
I was at Purley last night, busy and then everyone headed down towards imperial way.

-
sounds like a plan :happy2:
-
Went down last night just to have a look. Absolute madness going on down there with literally around 100 cars maybe more. The coppers were sitting in wait on a side street going up Purley way as the cars were randomly pulling out and challenging each other. It was a good laugh!!
-
haha see it isnt too bad! did you see the peel off for the drifting? those mopeds get annoying and yup the oolice are always just round the corner! theres.a lot of undercover aswell jist look for the most expensive bmw and you found then :LOL:
-
hahaha - but isn't the majority of the cars old bangers? like fiestas and corsas, well thats what i saw but it was early when i was there and only about 10-15 cars.
-
i think.those are the youngers of the groups.. there are somr jap cars likr a few scoobys evos skylines sx2000. and hondas etc which are nice then theres some really nice old mk2's and some other newer polos and.gtis from what i remember from my last visit.. oh and some nice bikes (not including the scooters)

There were a few bangers, but as Matt says there were quite a few other decent cars. I raced a MK4 GTi and another S3 - had quite a laugh. :grin:
