if anyone fancies meeting at the coombe lodge in croydon for a gti meet please put your name forward. It will be more of a alternative to the larger purley meet and aimed at gti owners and would be good to know some more people in the local area (bromly beckenham penge crystal palace croydon sutton etc)
if you have an alternative location or idea please share and if you want to go but cant do the dates and a majority are the aame we can reschedule the dates.
venue
last weekend of this month either saturday or sunday day.(majority vote around 1pm goving time for people to drive and wash cars etc)
pub meet meaning beer and chat. the lodge does good food as well so you can enjoy a nice lunch too.
photos as well (although not professional) if wanted?
then a drive if people feel up for it.

there is parking onsite and i think atleast 8 people to.make it worth while.
if people want to make it more regular then we could think about setting something a bit more regular and perhaps a meal and cruise once every two months but im just spitballing here.
1) nezquick
2) simon
3) bendy
4) jimojameso
5) gtian
6) mvb12
first weekend of feb, either saturday or sunday - majority vote wins
-
I've been waiting for something like this for a while, so count me in! I'll be coming with a mate from Guildford, but don't mind the drive, obviously!
:driver:
-
Darn i can't make that weekend :sad1:
-
sweet ill put you down gtian
thats a shame jimojameso, let me know if things change!
-
cant do 28th or 29th, :sad1:
-
Ok my friend can no longer do the last weekend of this month, So im proposing the 1st weekend of febuary?
That would be dates 4th or 5th.
What do you think? (I was hoping for more people than 6 people :sad1:)
get involved people
-
I can do then :happy2:
-
:happy2: ok ill wait for gtian and bendy to reply and hopefully there will be a few more of us
-
Yes 4th and 5th sound good to me :happy2:
-
So are we saying Saturday 4th February?
-
sounds good to me! might be a bit busy on sunday. trying to drum up some more interest from other people, the only other person i knew who had a gti has got rid of it.
-
will try and get my mate to come he only has a mk4 GT TDI but he could come in my car. Will see if he is about.
-
where is this lodge you talk about. post code please.
I'm in Sydenham Souf London.
Will be up for a meet as i need to drop in at tuning werkes so i could make a day of it.
-
just round the corner from me, im just over at border beckenham / penge but work near in the sydenham business park.

full details on there, if you want you can follow me up from croydon. Been meaning to go to tuning werkes, wanted to find out about remaps. You had any work carried out there?
The more the better so if you can that would be :happy2:
-
sorry lads day job and all that.
Tuning Werkes - never been but i want to get criuse control retrofitted and i believe Tuning werkes do it for £150.00 and the stealers in crown point told me £200.00. (so that will be £50.00 towards my other bits of interest)
if you also need to head towards them i'm game to follow as i'm not hundred percent on the location but i think it before the bus depo going towards purley. (but could be massively wrong)
just had a look at the map and wherever that is in Croydon is nowhere i've been before, although it looks very close to the centre :confused:

One of the things I like about where I work, mk5golfgti is always a click away.
Thats not bad, I was gunna pick one up from ebay - I think I could install one easy enough but I don't have vag com. I'd quite like to see if tuning werkes would charge just for coding.
hmmm, Im not to sure - I know its near witgift school but you'd have to double check with their site or something. Its not to far from the centre, or us in fact. only twenty to half depending on traffic and your right foot :driver:
Ill check google maps for t/w's and see where they are.
-
Yup I know were t/w's is, go towards the big round about in croydon (near the fair fields theatre) and then left and its essentially a long round. there should be signs for the turn in. googlemap sydenham to tuningtwerkes
-
nice
-
Cool, 4th or 5th is ok with me!
:driver:
-
nez i have Vagcom - I am based in Bromley Kent.... Just to let you fellow locals know..
-
Awsomw, up for the 4th, saturday, gtian?
Ktlstar i think youll regret saying that. ill be pestering you very shortly for a cruise control retrofit and more :signLOL: would you be able to fun a diognosis on my car at some point to check everythings running sweet iv been meaning to for a while. Beer tokens are my :drinking: offer of payment fancy coming to the meet?
-
nez - what GTI you driving? i don't really see much GTIs in Sydenaham Penge area.
-
Black mk5 gti. oem alloys. debaged grill. miltex exhaust. youll usually see me in the business park or at sainsburies around 1 for lunch break. i have a pg tips monkey in the front window :drinking: what are you driving?
-
And heko wind deflectors and other bits.. the monkey is the main give away :signLOL: ill post a pic tomuro
-
Silver GTI, Monza Shadows 50% Tinted all round, matte black vw emblem in front grille.
just ordered my open air fog grilles :grin:
thats my local shop, but working up in the city so i hit sainsburys' on the weekend. :party:
-
I work Sat night geeza, I am up for Thursday night / Croydon.
Yeah if i can follow a guide to code it shouldnt be hard!!! Full diagnostic is cool, takes couple of minutes!
-
Just read the previous thread in all its glory.
1 - I really do not want to see the Corsa Crew at any meet. only VAG!
2 - Alternative to the Purley way Meet is Prept @ Brands Hatch every last Wednesday of the month. (Signed up to the site and now waiting acceptance.... that was nearly a month ago) :scared:
3 - for this meet and a few more meets i wouldn't mind the weekend THEN slipping into a fixed bi weekly evening meet as weekends are normally chukker for me!
Plus i think i'm on the downward spiral of modding so defo need to talk to a few like minded peeps.

Whats the corsa crew.. The coombe is vag only.. gti ;) hmmm that soubnds interesting.i bet yoi can get some good tips going to a meet like brands hatch.. do you get to do track days through that meet? i would of thought youd get a discount after becoming a known member.. how do you sign up or joon? can you not just go down? I second thay. evening meets are alaays a bit easier plus it keeps the misses happy as we can then go shopping on saturday :sad1: oh and sunday :indifferent: i was thinking if everyone got on well enough and the meet got a bit biggee we could do something similar to kent car club meets and have a eat and cruise meet every so often and oerhaps a checky pint.. would be nice during the summer if the weather is nice. i know the mr2 meet do that alot. haha tell me about jt.. my wage is looking a lot smaller than it used to :stupid:
-
I should have said NON VAG Cars.
Prept - you can just turn up its £3 squid to get in tho. not sure on the other bits, i've been once about 2 years ago with my mate so not sure on and other details.
-
Sat 4th is cool with me. What time?
:driver:
-
I'm up for this, guys! I live in Streatham... Don't really see too many mk5 GTI's around and, I do get around south! Bromley, pence, palace Croydon, clapham, Battersea etc!
-
Finally a meet that isn't miles away!! Only problem is I will be in Bristol picking up my new gti interior. What time are you going to be there, I should be back early afternoon. Count me in for a pm visit, as long as you don't mind a diesel!
-
Is this still going on, as it seems to have gone a bit quiet, with a few of us asking what time to meet with noresponse?
:driver:
-
Im still up for this. Shall we say about 1pm then we can grab a bit of lunch at coombe lodge?
-
Really sorry everyone ive conpletly forgot to reply the other day (been busy with my new autoglym lifeshine kit :ashamed: )

-
Excellent, see you all at 1pm.
Looking forward to a long drive after my major service.

:happy2: sweet.
Well just for clarification, If anyone is wondering who I am - I will be the one in a lime green suit with a tweed waistcoat, cane and bowler hat. I may or may not curl my moustache.
-
ok well that was a lie :signLOL: I will probably be wiping my car with some form of micro cloth.
-
Room for one more? Might be able to make this depending on what time i get done having some new parts fitted to the car in the morning :party:
Looks like about a 40 minute drive from where i am :driver:
Dave
-
I will be there at 1pm!!! :smiley:
-
I will do my best to be there, might be late as i'll be swapping over my interior in Bristol at 10:30!! :jumping:
-

:happy2: more the merrier - what interior you getting?
haha I got to bristol in just over two hours the otherday :driver: I've always enjoyed driving evenings :wink: less things to hit :innocent: :signLOL:
-
Its just a standard GTI interior, but a spanner has just been thrown in the works as the new owner of my old Boxster has just offered it back to me as they are looking at a newer one and I still miss it, I don't know what to do now!!!
-
S or normal one? :party:
-
It was just a baby. 2.5 non S but it handled like nothing I've ever driven and was pretty quick.
I think I am going to hang on to my Golf, its a great car and does fantastic MPG and maybe one day when I have more cash I will buy another Boxster, who knows maybe even a 911.
Meanwhile here is a picture of it so you can see why I was having second thoughts :sad1:

-
My dad had a 2.5 boxster which my girlfriends dad now owns. Great car.
My Dad is now in the market for a 993 :love:
Hopefully he will let me take it out now and then :smiley:
-
I'm gonna pass through at 1pm :happy2:

She is a beaut I can see why your tempted. I don't think i could ever own a car like that - im too paranoid about jelous people.
I'm gonna pass through at 1pm :happy2:
:happy2: wikid. Im looking forward to it now! I'll be very disappointed if it ends up just me there :sad1:
-
I will be there :happy2:
-
:drinking: awsome,
I don't know whether anyone saw me ask but does anyone have vagcom? Im seriously thinking about getting it now especially as I want to retrofit a few things etc etc
-
I won't be joining you tomorrow, as my car is still in for it's service. :sad1:
My garage couldn't get a pesky cam follower in time, and I need new discs and pads :sad1:
\hope you all have a great meet, and I hope to get to the next one
:driver:
-
i'm out - Man flu :sick:
-
:sad1: this is a shame
Can everyone else make it tomuro?
-
Should still be ok to come along just depends how long it takes to get the ed30 bits fitted in the morning :party:
Dave
-
:happy2: cool what you getting done?
-
So how many is that coming? with the cold weater and risk of snow im just thinking its a bit of a trek for a very small meet.
-
Finally getting my colour coded ED30 front splitter, side skirts and rear valance fitted :pomppomp:
Dave
-
Very nice sounds like youve got some nice additions for you car!
hmm well the easiest way is if people say in or out and then tomurro morning if the majority is out then we dont do it. im not up for going amd then no one shows up as its a wasted journey. It looked a promising venue and i was hoping for a few more people.. realistically if theres only say three up for it then theres not much point. so if everyone going says a simmply comment with in or out then by 10am tomurro we know whether its on or off..
-
How many people are going now then?
I'm IN :happy2:
Dave
-
Ok well i will be there from one. ill stay till half one and if no one shows then ill leave. anyone who fqncies goin.g be there for oneish. iv checked the weather and it should be fine today it shoudnt snow until tomuro afternoon
-
Infact it looks like a loveeelllly day today!!
-
Im going to say im IN :happy2:

-
:happy2: Cheers for today everyone, It is nice to see some more people in the local area that share an interest in VAG
I would definitely be up for that vw event in march if someone cares to get all the details and everyone else likes the idea of doing something then we could get a post up and running and arrange it.
after seeing how good those bbs :drool: look im gunna have to sort out a set of LM's or something I coudn't believe how good they looked for replica's you wouldn't have a clue.
Sorry that it was a bit cold and appreciate everyone's effort to come! Hope everyone else had a good time and wants to keep it going. Anyone else going thurs to purley - Im interested in having a look but not 100%
Oh and i've just ordered some claybar - got the meguiars clay bar kit so hope it is good!
This is Worthersee I think its pretty much the biggest vag festival and its in austria :happy2:

Dave
-
Hi guys,
Are these meets purely for GTi's or do all VAG cars pass :laugh
I sold my stage 2+ GTi 3 months ago and bought a new weapon.
I live in Penge, so really local to the meet :driver:

-
Hi, yes mate, I need to update my signature, she's running stage 2+ :pomppomp:
-
Ah I'm glad it's getting some attention looks like it could be a popular venue if more people are up for it. I'd say keep it nice and vag although I do expect a guest visit of a certain supra :P well shall we arrange another one for march sometime? Perhaps get some lunch or something? jussa where abouts in penge? I'll have to keep an eye out for you! If you ever see a mk5 with a monkey in the window give me a flash!
Well the weather man was right about the snow my car is parked up in putney and it doesn't look worth the risk of driving tonight. :sad1:
-
I live close to Maple road and Anerley station. Are u in Putney?
The joys of driving Quattro :innocent:
-
Hey guys,
Sorry I never made it down today... Got suckered into driving my nan around today as she says in this weather she only likes me driving her around, lol! Definitely up for another meet though!
-
I live close to Maple road and Anerley station. Are u in Putney?
The joys of driving Quattro :innocent:
really not far from me at all! I am tonight.. and ive seen one crash, one merc destroy its alloy on the curb,kids throwing snowballs at cars driving past etc etc.. And i found out taxis are rear wheel drive! This is gunna be a bad nights sleep worry about my car and the possibility of someone sliding into it :sick:
-
Looks like this mini meet is growing well looking forward to the next one :drinking:
Dave
-
Nice meeting everyone on Saturday, It would be nice to grow it a little, I'm sure as the weather gets better more people will turn out, It was f*cking freezing!!!!
and next time we should :drinking:
-
Good to meet you all on Saturday. Was a good meet even though it was freezing!! Ha ha. I'll bring the supra down to one meet when its a bit warmer!! :happy2:
So when's the next one?

:driver: :party: :driver:
-
:surprised: that is an extremly clean looking supra you have there :congrats:
-
thank you nesquik!! I have forgotten already which usernames go with which real names. Ha ha. :smiley:
-
Matt :happy2: also a fellow jap fan.. been pondering over a rx7 over the past few days :signLOL: ever since you mentioned having a supra as a weekend car its made me want a project for the weekend something to strip and rebuild and learn the ins and outs. Plus I love the sound of a rotary engine :drool:
p.s that stance is spot on :happy2:
-
Thanks :happy2:
I love RX7's. Was on my list of jap cars to look at!! Great cars to have although very expensive to run!!
-
yeah but you ended up with a supra :notworthy: and I don't blame you. I love how they look but you're right on cost especially with the fuel prices now! my friend lee has a rx8 and spends a fortune on the bugger it is nice but prefer the 7 :P
-
Good to meet you all on Saturday. Was a good meet even though it was freezing!! Ha ha. I'll bring the supra down to one meet when its a bit warmer!! :happy2:
So when's the next one?
+1.
-
Hi guys, sorry I missed the meet, wasn't on the forum a few days due to work. :fighting:
How was it and how many people turned out?
When is the next 1?
-
I think we will be sorting out another one soon. Someone said early March. I think we might need to find somewhere a little less busy as it would be nice to have the room to line all the cars up. Staying around the same area though would be good, maybe a little further south, just so we can find somewhere a bit more suitable.
-
How about the Beef Eater in Mitcham? They have quite a big outdoor car park with seating outside too?
-
That's a little to far north for me.
-
Hi everyone,
Well I am up for late march as it will hopefully be a bit warmer by then meaning everyone isn't so cold. I think croydon / around that general area might be a little better for everyone else but Mitcham isn't far for me ( about 25 mins with traffic) If anyone else can come up with a good place that would be appreciated.
I think if you get to the coombe lodge before 1.00pm then theres usually quite a lot of car space (I got there earlier than I thought and there were a lot of free spaces)
But yeah if someone can come up with a good location thats accessible for everyone else we can arrange for another meet :driver:
-
The Grasshopper is great for a meet but probably a bit too far south for most of you.

-
well off the rader for me.
TBH if we have a turnout of less than 10 I think Coombe is ideal as when I turned up (on time :signLOL:) there was ample space available so don't think we would need to consider a location change........ yet!
-
well off the rader for me.
x2
It was good space earlier but i think 1 -2 it starts getting busier for lunch or what have you, so maybe next time knock it forward to 12:30 and it should be absolutely fine!
-
Grass hpper would suit me more as it save trying to fight through croydon traffic.
But see what everone else thinks first :happy2:
-
Grasshopper is miles from me!!!
What is the Coombe address?
-
Check the first page there is a link or type the coombe lodge pub croydon into the maps part.
Oh and yo let you all know i have vagcom and can pretty much studied most of thr guides in and out. about to fit cruise control when it arrives
-
looks like i'll be bugging you Nezquick! :grin:
-
Haha thats alright mate! Ill charge beer tokens!
And thats just for a response not the work :signLOL:
:P
-
Need to work out your hourly beer rate :drinking:
Looking forward to the next meet that this time i should be able to make :happy2:
Dave
-
I'm coming from Guildford, so Grasshopper would be better for me, but I reckon 12 noon is a better time, as you'll miss the lunchtime rush, and be able to line the cars up.
-
Grasshopper has some good roads on the way! I'd be up for grasshopper or coombe again but not mitcham. Grasshopper has more car parking space! :happy2:
-
Maybe we should do a poll because the more people who can make it the better.
-
When exactly is this meet planned for?
-
March, exact date to be worked out
-
Towards the end of march when its a little warmer :popcornsoda:
Ill start a poll now, looking at drive times etc grasshopper would be fine with me too :drinking:
-
Poll here, for the not too bright!
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,43077.0.html
-
think it may be better to set a day for the meet for each month i.e. last sat of the month or something along those lines.
I myself would prefer a weekend meet, due to work commitments ect.....
-
Dates are on the poll page :smiley: and its a weekend a choice on sat or sun!! 24th & 25th if im right. well when everony meets next we can discuss how regular we want to make it and whether everyone is up for a drive date which we can plan out properly and whether any events we all want to attend as i think someone.last time came up with the idea of going to a vdub event?
-
Ultimate Dub would be a 3 hour journey each way (with our super rockets.... it would be less.) but I read another thread saying to arrive early due to parking ect and i was seeing posts of 8am :scared:
-
Uhh.. god that would mean leaving at like 6.00am.. :sad1:
-
iirc jimojameso said he's been before so maybe he could shed some light on this....
-
My mk2 was on display last year so i had to get there at like 7am. Its a 3 hour journey from here easy. I'm up for going this year if anyone else is. Would prob want to get there about 9.30 as show starts at 10. Make sure you pre buy tickets as the queue is enormous if you havn't pre paid!! :happy2:
-
Quick bump / update
25th this month 12.30 coombe lodge - hope you can all make it, if you can confirm on the other post that would be :happy2: hope to see y'all there!

Sorry i didn't make it today guys. Got stuck at a rolling road day all day so didnt get back in time. I'll try to be there next time :happy2:
-
Likewise guys, really good to meet you all.
I'm up for convoys down to meets and shows as well, but I don't think Dave should lead, I think we'll struggle to keep up! :signLOL:
Some really nice cars on show today, and great to chat with people so passionate about their cars. However, I couldn't help but pine for a Stage 2+ S3 on the way home! Nice one Jussa!
Would anyone object to me putting a few pics up?
-

Thanks for putting up the pics Ian :happy2: Love that Shadow Blue sparkle :love:

As they say, 'good things come to those who wait' and I had to wait till I was 41 to afford the S3 :drinking:
But it was well worth the wait!!! :driver:
Who knows, when you're 41 the S3 probably will have wings and not wheels :signLOL:

Cheers Dave, I've always had a soft spot for blue cars. My V6 4Motion was Indigo blue pearlescent, which was amazing in the sunlight as well.
Guildford has run out of V Power in all of it's Shell stations! I had to buy Total Excellium 97, and I swear it's not running as nicely! :sad1:
-
Finished a nightshift last night and was using the missus diesel 1.5 Nissan Note. Got to my local Shell garage at around 6:30am and everything was sold out except for the V-power. Found a BP and filled her to the brim with diesel. Got home and raced up to the Shell garage in the S3 to fill up!!! This panic buying is crazy, nobody even knows when the strike will take place?? :confused:
-
Here in Guildford, the 95 RON is available, it's the V Power that's as rare as rocking horse sh*t!
-
:signLOL: thats crazy?? I would have thought it would be the other way around. What about the diesel??
-
I normally use BP Ultimate and there was a massive que today at the one next to Anerley station. but filled her up and away i went! the govermet must be rubbing there greedy hands together, Genius! :congrats:

Lovely Ben. Brings a lump to my throat when I see a black Mk2. I bought mine as a runaround for a couple of years as it was on my car list, and loved it so much I kept it for 7! Only sold it as I was going to uni and wanted something sensible(ish) and bought a 1.8T Mk4.
I love white mk 1's as well. I must have watched that episode of Wheeler Dealers 10 times!! Future appreciating classics for sure, both of them. :congrats:
-
hope yo u sleep well tonight ian :LOL: and remember when you do the write up we want pics!! including a before face and after face and preferably none of any crashes!!

Ha! :signLOL: Slight problem, the exhaust system warning light came on yesterday afternoon, but I'm going to Storm as planned and hopefully they can find out what it is, sort it and proceed with the map. The car is running absolutely fine, pulling really well, so hopefully it's something really simple. Apparently this can come up sometims for no explainable reason. Fingers and everything else well and truely crossed!!

Hi Fellas,
Any news on the next meet Nez? Really enjoyed the last one, and looking forward to the next one. Sundays are best for me, as I'll soon be donning the whites and swinging the willow on saturdays, as the cricket season starts for me in a couple of weeks.
Cheers,
Ian :happy2:
-
alright ian,
glad you enjoyed it, well im hoping to.do another one next month so interested to.hear peoples opinions. sundays are good for me aswell! if people want to put the dates down their free next month weekends then well arrange a date and time. im thinking grasshopper and maybe then we can get a deink or people can get food. id say meet at coombe lodge for the more local people and drive down together. how does that sound? im looking forward to it and would be really good to hear your opinion and exoerience on the remap!!
-
i purposed last sunday of each month last timeround but didn't get no feedback on it. i would prefer a fixed date each month or every other month.
-
marvin that sounds like a good idea, anyone else agree? check your calendars to.see if.your free on the last sunday of next month and we can go from.there :happy2:
-
What, no meet this month :sad1:
-
we can do? last weekend of this month? if everyones happy and free!!
-
29th April? Count me in! :happy2: Grasshopper is cool with me as well.
-
29th sounds like a plan! i'm flexible too! In re. to location. :happy2:
-
Yeah I'm free that Sunday for another meet :happy2: looking forward to checking out the interiors more this time too, need some ideas for mine :innocent:
Dave
-
I should be able to make that day.

funny you should say that i found a place in coventry that does custom interior designs. i also had a contact in essex that did the same but lost the number :ashamed:. but the more i drive the car the more i love the tartan set up. did have the thought of changing to leathers when 1st purchased but now i shall remain loyal to the cloth :P
-
I'm in for the 29th April, just let us know where it is :happy2:
-
The only interior change I'd make is the RNS 510 or whatever it's called, and maybe an ED30 interior. I agree with you Marvin, I'd never get rid of the tartan completely, it reminds me of my mk2 every time I get in it. :smiley:
-
Had the choice of leather or tartan cloth when i bought mine as they had 2 GTI's for sale and both had almost identical spec and mileage apart from colour and the interiors, always wanted a black 3 door but also just had to have the cloth interior :love:
Maybe wanna get the silver dash strips and air vent/radio surround gloss black wrapped :confused: not sure yet think i need to see some close up :smiley:
Also wanna check out some LED interior bulbs :wink:
Dave

It would be great to have some more variety this time, would love to have some more diesel drivers come, then I won't feel like the odd one out! :confused:

We're all loving the Tartan! I love the silver inserts in mine, I think they lift the interior, and give it a real quality feel. However, as you have that sexy RNS510 with gloss black surround, that could really work with matching gloss black inserts. :happy2:

Exactly what i was thinking Ian with the inserts and surround but just need to see it in the flesh to see if it works or would be too much black and ruin the dash :confused:
