Friday 15th Febraruy at 20:00!

Im in (work dependent), and I'll be coming from Thurrock (J30/31) so South Mimms is great for me. The only trouble with South Mimms on a Friday is that if someone decides to play bumper cars on the M25 it could cause issues getting there, saying that if theres an accident in the week anywhere around N London/M25 then the whole area goes to pot

Count me in! :happy2:

Good man! A Bentley inspired mk6....loving the sound of that! Sounds awesome.
If people did want photos in a more general sense (ie: of their own cars), there are loads of places nearby that are good locations. Just in case people wanted it!
Looking good this!

Cant wait mate so do you no what date yet

Thought I'd post Welcome breaks website so people know what's in site

Cant wait mate so do you no what date yet
Well I originally went with 19:30 on friday15th February. No ones majorly oppossed it although I know if the roads are buggered people finishing work may struggle a bit. I'm hoping they won't be! :p
Thought I'd post Welcome breaks website so people know what's in site
http://www.welcomebreak.co.uk/?fullsite=true
It's a good little place - and plenty of stuff nearby if people are bored. Don't think the website mentions it but it has ANPR for parking with a max stay of 2 hrs. If you are 'done', you just need to simply ignore it. I'm trying to get them to allow us to stay longer officially, but eitherway it's not an issue at all.
-
There is the BP garage outside with a little side road where a burger van normally parks during the day as you drive out the ANPR car park so we could always move to there if need be

Good shout - should big enough for the numbers atm!
**Just a thought - if we were to move it back to 20:00 would that be easier??**

8pm would be better for me. I was going to post that i would probably be there around 8.
-
8 is a better time for me as well. But may arrive at 8:01 :grin:

You rebel! :signLOL:
OK people, shall we say 20:00 start? I'm working just down the road so i'll head up early as I want to get some food so if people do wanna get there before i'll see you there.....otherwise 20:00 or 20:01 it is!
-
Brilliant cant wait see u all there
-
I'll come with my other half (Horatio) if he's not working :smiley:
-
I'll come with my other half (Horatio) if he's not working :smiley:
Absolutely. More the merrier!
2 weeks to go! Anymore for anymore? Few people have PM's me so may well get a few more. I think one activity on the to do list is a specific GTi photo then one with everyone.
-
Looking forward to this. I finish work at 18:00 and by the time I get home and drive (M25 dependant!) can get there for about half 8 :)
-
Anyone handy with VCDS? Just bought the cable last week or so and some handy pointers would be much appreciated :happy2:

I bought a cable 3 weeks ago and any tips would be great. So far used it for the boot pop mod, which is very cool...although not in this cold weather.

That polo is RAPID, and i'd be interested in taking a look at it!! That is all.
Although the intention is to try and keep it is as german as possible (well Mk5 Golfs!), it is a motorway services. If he was turn up to use the services at the time and by sheer coincidence he parked near to us i'm sure there won't be a problem.
-
I should have my car back by then, so i'll be there too.
I have VCDS as well (allbeit an ebay special but it works fine for me)
Be good to see some other cars :)
-
Might be able to make this depending on work
Would be good to meet some more guys from on here :drinking:
Dave
-
Excellent guys!
This is looking good people!
-
I am going to bring my pal along is that's cool. He has a MK7 Metal (tuned edition Fiesta) Pretty tasty.

Yeh that's cool. Sounds like a little beast!
I have another location if South Mimms for whatever reason doesn't work - its the DVLA car park in Borehamwood 5 mins away. Straight down the A1 and you there is seconds. However, i'm not planning on using this option!!
-
count me in

count me in
Excellent! See you there :)
So, as it stands, we've got 25 coming but the potential for more who may just turn up on the night.
-
I'm going to try and make this guys. Would be great to meet some other mk5 enthusiasts
-
Put me down as a very likely... Having a few bits put on the car so depends if it's ready or not...

I think i saw them when i was in the garage the other day,
im sure Dan can get them sorted for you by then . :happy2:
-
Snap... seen what you have planned too :happy2:
Yeah been down to see him a few times... nice guy
if you are heading over for the meet I'll let you know if its all in order possibly meet up before and then head over... plus I am fookin' useless with directions that way I can t get lost.... :laugh:
-
I am fookin' useless with directions :laugh:
Me too :signLOL:
Sounds good , should be heading down with a few mates ,
let me know if you get your bits are done in time
-
Sweet guys!
If you're not good with directions, South Mimms is easy to get to but by god you'll have fun on the roundabout thing going on there! Guaranteed you'll be in the wrong lane, and then when your trying to change a BMW will cut you up as they too were in the wrong lane (but not accidently but because they don't wanna..... :notworthy:)!! haha!
-
After you come uner the bridge, if your approaching from east or south, stay in the third lane
51.687139,-0.230294
google these co-ordinates and you'll see on street view...cant seem to embed pics from street view :confused: :confused: :confused:
-
im going to try and come going to put a reminder in my phone now due to im never on here!
-
I reckon I'm up for some of this action, count me in.
-
Should have some new winter wheels by then, but sadly body works still a mess after the prang :sad1:
-
Good stuff timmyed30 / AndyEd30. Reprsenting the Ed30 crew loooll!
I'll say it again but this is looking GOOD! Could even be descibed as epic.

Well I reckon there will be another.....but.....if people are interested in making this a regular event, which by the sounds of it people are interested, I can look to get a formal agreement with Welcome Break??
Have to say I have been looking at Google Earth and......looks like we may actually take up a WHOLE section and this is using my ""predicted"" turn out data. I know a few people are bringing others and others are coming but not on the forum etc. Lucky i'm getting there slightly early then hey! I think we'll either be either in the corner immediately on the right as you come in, near the exit but in the main car park OR (if it's free this is the preferred choice), the top car park that is usually where the highways agency office people park so should be nice and free. Never seen a car in it after 18:00.
1 week, 1 day!

will be following andy banham in my mk4 if you guys dont mind.
-
Yeh come down mate. I actually love your rims!!
-
cheers mate had them all refurbed last year. be nice to meet some new people.

The big brother! As rich said deffo come down.
*Changed to go wherever you like.
I'll be there slightly early as I want food! I'll park in a nice clear area which should fit everyone in. If you look here -
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=south+mimms+services&hl=en&ll=51.687141,-0.223578&spn=0.001746,0.005284&sll=51.687144,-0.223042&sspn=0.001746,0.005284&t=h&radius=0.14&hq=south+mimms+services&z=18
The top section near the exit is where i'll try and park. For the slightly lower cars coming, entering through the back aka drive as you would to get into the petrol station, is the best bet as you avoid most, if not all, bumps!
-
As its the 1st one I wouldn't bother trying to organise it into section as people will be getting there at different times. Also we haven't (as far as I know) spoke to the services about it so we can't really make it look to official. If it takes off then maybe look at doing this for future meets.
I just need a spot in the dark out the way as the car is filthy :signLOL:

cool. Words have been had however! Saying that, whether I actually believe the guy I spoke to will actually tell the manager at south mimms is another matter! I have an email and letter which you can all read if you want!
Dark spot for 2 please! :p

Ohhh nice. Only like 2000 produced or something like that.
So, big day tomorrow. Despite my car problems I will be there. Weather doesn't look half bad still. Might see if I can wear shorts.
Any problems with direction/problems/questions etc etc txt me 07858752160. As said previously 10 million times, i'll be there early, so look for THE white golf.
As we potentially **could** look to do this regularly, please use the bins, stay legal whilst there etc etc etc. If you really want to have a play do so outside of the services, but should expect a good static turnout with a group of like-minded people.
Gunna be awesome.
-
Will be good to meet a few people, i just hope it doesnt end up with anyone trying to race about and acting like dicks as lots of cars together invariably ends up with someone feeling they need to prove something to people

That is a slight worry on my mind too! I generally know those that are coming who aren't on here and as we are all refinded Golf GTI owners i'm sure this won't be problem. The police do keep a good presence there and there is a pcso based solely the services, so he could be around.
I'm sure it won't be a problem. Any issues we'll deal with. We've got lovely cars so lets show them and show others passing through that this scene isn't the fast and furious one that they think it is!
-
Weather has been kind, look forward to it :happy2:

Soo whos going to do the first Burnout then :P

See who can leave the biggest 11's in the car park and play the loudest music :-/
Hopefully the weather holds out, should be a good evening. Do we know roughly how many people are attending? I seem to have lost track of the topic a bit.
-
Not sure im gonna be able to make it chaps... :sad1:
-
"IF" you can make it late on Rich then let me know. I'm working but was hoping to get home, jet wash the weeks crap off the car and see about getting down there.
Would be cool to drive down there with you if you're around!
-
I was down as a maybe anyway but unfortunately I can't make it tonight. I will keep an eye out for the next one though!
-
C'mon Rich, i was gonna make a point of finding you as you're local to me too (In Hemel as well)
Weather is certainly looking promising, its been a nice day out all day so far and very mild compared to late
-

Ill let you know.. PM me your mobile number :happy2:

I've not been here for a while...I'd have come down. I am going to try out my mater e46 m3 so can't complain to much I guess. I hope theres another meet soon.
-
I've just bumped the OBD WiFi thread, but makes more sense to post here - Anyone using these Bluetooth or WiFi OBD2 dongles and an app? Be interesting to see what they're like
-
Wheels still not back from refurb :(
Bumpers not back from bodyshop :(
Sub box half fabricated :(
Will be there tho.. In the corner.. Making a lot of noise
-

Yeah was good to meet some of you guys :happy2:

I had a good night. It was good to speak to a few people and to top it off we had good weather and a good turnout.
I will definatly be up for another.
Cars looked good as well lads!!
-
Grammar fail!
Yeh some lovely cars! Good to meet everyone and find out that there are other golfs local to me!
Sorry I left early. In the end I had to head home to deal with the baby brother. Arghh. I won't say anything else. It was an excellent turn out so thank you all. Seems the weather suprisingly turned out rather well which is always good.
From concensus, people would like to do it again so ill have a look at the next two months to see what's what and speak to the services again.
Kong86 -cant remember if I said hello to you.....but yours was 2 across from mine i think. it was mint. Looked so perfect.
It was the first one so organisation etc may have been somewhat lacking but we got there. I know some went quite soon after we started....was this because you found it boring?
If we do it next time, should there be more than a 'meet'? what would you do to improve? I know its sometimes hard for those on there own to get all involved but as we're trying to be all inclusive and get everyone on board, what can we do to make it better?
Ill get a provisional date for the next one (probably early april?) and we can sort out what's what then.
Thanks guys for turning up. Things can only get better!
JigBake - think I saw you at the end only very briefly but I got to say.....lovely golf. Best colour aswell. Your polo mates deffo need to come next time aswell - really liking the 300 odd one. Perfect and the body kit wow.
Banham! Didn't get to speak to you but took a look at your golf! Very very nice.
In fact everyone's were nice! haha!
-
Cheers mate, it was good to see another white GTI. That polo has got a rare genuine Body kit from VW. Its from a cup model they sold in Germany only. He gets a bit of attention in it.
-
Sorry chaps didn't make this as ended up down pub :ashamed:
Anyone take any pics?

not a bad turn out at all..... weird that you recognise the cars from off here and knowing the owners, so nice putting a face to the car....
well done john on organising :happy2:
problem now is I have seen too many mods that I now need to do!
see you all at the next one :congrats:

:congrats:
Was a good turn out, and was good to meet some of you.
Cheers Jonny , yours was looking pretty mint too.
Looking forward to the next one.

Was good to put some faces to some
cars names!
Good turn out and up for the next meet :party:
-
Great turnout for a first meet... Some nice motors.. Good incentive to get the car ready for the next one.
-
Next will be early/mid april I think. March will still be dull so hopefully by April we'll have some good weather.
Means also lighter evenings and a slightly warmer event! I actually forgot my camera but next time i'll bring mine. I'll get my photographer mate to come down and do some 'professional' type ones too.
-
My mission for next time is to say hello each and everyone one of you. I wanted to say hey to a few people but didn't in the end so sorry.....but next time!
As said in the previous post, i'm planning bigger and better.
Maxgti - where were you parked........wanted to see you golfie golf aswell :(
Anyway, til next time. I'll update this thread end of the month and get things rolling.
I'm going to be going to a fair few different meets around London/counties so if anyone is interested in going or is already going and wants to let me/others join, PM me or post up. WestEnd Dubs/Homegrown etc etc.
-
I normally go to homegrown as its only a few miles away from me. It is getting bigger each time hopfully like this meet.
Alot of the cars looked :drool: cant wait till it gets abit warmer.

Thanks to Jonny I'm having to look at new rims and I guess it would be rude not to drop her too!!!!

Hopefully the Audi A5 should have its new shoes for the next meet and mind blowing boot install... :evilgrin:

A mindblowing boot install. Hmm. What's that involved then?!

Haha cheers! its not my car but a on-going project of ours.. Waiting on struts to arrive before she gets air'd out..
As for the install... Pair of JL Audio W7's, 1000/1's, Audison Bit 10 and few other goodies :evilgrin:

just got in from work to find a lovely £100 parking fine from south mimms services for being there 2hr 34mins just wondering if anyone else has had one. pretty sure banham who i was with will have one to. some better news is its only £60 if paid in 2 weeks.
-
Wow.
:confused:

drop jonny a pm, he had sorted this out with the powers that be...
their advice was to throw it away :scared:
right then smoothed grills and removable plate all round!

Will wait for mine to come through lol. Could it be a scam because i have of people getting tickets and not paying and never heard of anything again

Am I right in thinking these are Cowboy style parking fines and you are not legally obliged to pay them?? If we Purchased something surely this cannot be enforced if it is not a cowboy style parking fine?

Just got home to find a parking charge lying on the mat (non council).
Anyone else?
Will PM Jonny to see what he says.
-
Yep i got one. Few other expecting one in the next few days.
-
Yeh it was all official but Welcome Break do have a wierd mangement strucutre. All cleared with HQ who deal with the car parks but the services is a seperate part of the business apparently. Too complex for me.
Basically....the word is IGNORE IT. Parking Eye are the people that deal with the parking there and if you google then, you will find loads of these 'fake' parking tickets dished out. Smooth grill is clearly the way forward! Ironic really as ANPR was originally meant for the police etc to prevent/detect crime!!
This is something I will raise again with my contact....we did discuss prior to the day but nothing was sorted out. Hopefully by next time we'll all be good!
As said, IGNORE any letters from them. Some new legislation did come into effect recently whereby companies can ask the registered keeper who was driving, BUT, if the registered keeper unfortunately didn't have the vehicle at the time, alas you can't supply the name. There is no penalty for failing to supply the name. They are not the council/police and should be treated as such.
Out of interest, did you buy anything at the services?? Again, the new law has created 2 appeal bodies which to be fair do sometimes work. Parking Eye also have to pay for each appeal. So if you wanted to produce evidence saying you bought stuff and had a big business meeting crack on. Otherwise leave.
Hopefully that should put your mind at rest. I'm not here to advocate breaking the rules but A) it's a motorway services. People NEED to sometimes stop over 2 hours and B) their demands are crazy.
Any problems PM me.
It will be sorted for next time. I can only apologise for the hassle guys, I did try, but couldn't get anything sorted :(
I haven't as yet got anything, but am awaiting to file mine under 'B' for bin. In fact, keep any paperwork just for your reference.
-
Thanks jonny, thing im worried about is ,if it is left then i dont want to get a court order for not paying. Is it wise to phone welcome break to solve the problem, if it was all organise between you and them then surely they can get it cancelled.
-
Thats good to no then. More money for mods :evilgrin:
I only brought a drink but it still counts lol.
Thanks for clearing it up :happy2:
-
Yes I got a massively overpriced BK, did you buy anything? Checked and no fine, unless a council fine I will not pay as I don't think I am legally obliged to

hahah it's a rip off. Once upon a time I had a card which meant I could literally get ANYTHING for £4. Good times.
I've replied to people's PMs, but please let me know if you have any concerns.
-
So even if Myself, Kalps and other got food, what basis are these being issues?
My fiancée works for solicitors and she has a standard letter for these arseholes that should get them to poke it. If anyone wants a template let me know could get one by Tues
-
It because they impose a 2hr limit on free parking so they can charge people who stay in the hotel or sleep in their car/lorry and use the showers etc
-
Another reason is to keep a goof turnover of cars, so everyone that comes into the car park can actually park. Clearly not an issue on the night in question but the principlal is there.
For parking eye to get your details, they would have had to pay for them, so you can feel slightly better if you got one-ish!!

Wouldn't that give them more reason to chase us?

Not really as they get paid by the services/car park to provide the services ten they collect the fines on top of that, I'm not sure if the services get any money from the fines

They pay something like £1/2. It's small fry to them. Proportionally, the money they pay for your details isn't even a drop in the ocean for them. If one person pays up, that's potentially 100 DVLA checks.

This! The services don't get anything. It's all subcontracted out so Parking Eye run it as a business themselves.
-
mine was waiting for me on the hall mat... :fighting:
-
I've had a few from parking eye in the past, think they patrol a few of the Starbucks and Maccy d's along bath road near Heathrow... As mentioned before... Best thing is to outright ignore them. They will send a 'formal' looking, threatening letter with a fancy border demanding payment or face bailiffs. All a load of b@llocks!!
Believe they were investigated by watchdog a while back too, again same advice was offered.. ignore them.
Slightly off topic... For those interested in 3sdm, rotiforms and other wheels please drop me a pm, with figments etc and I will get back to you ASAP. :happy2:
-
:evilgrin:
-
Cheers Chowgar.... That's the one indeed :happy2:
-
Obviously guys I can only apologise for these unwelcome ""invoices"". We will sort something out for next time. I hope it didn't detract from a excellent night.
As hopefully made clear now, ignore them. Again, any issues let me know.

Jonny not your fault fella... see you next time :happy2:

Likewise me! I came in through the back which, as i've just found out, doesn't have a functioning ANPR camera!
-
It would seem that the exit camera picked me up on the way in and out!
Got my """"""ticket"""""" today in the post! Will be ignored. Very tempting to appeal to the 2 stage appeal as it will cost Parking Eye £40 but nah, i'll leave it!
Plate on the dash is happening from now on! hahaa.

Evening folks,
FYI - got my first of many 'you haven't paid letters'!!
However, if you want to try and appeal, let me know as I have a response that will most probably get the 'invoice' cancelled.

Completely upto you. I'll PM you in the morning as knackered.com. Don't pay it. Whether you ""appeal"" is netheir here nor there. Even if the appeal is rejected at stage 1 and 2 it doesn't move away from the fact that their basis for invoicing you is completely flawed.

Unless it's from the council or police, put it in the bin.

Suppose I better waste my effort and put it in the bin. Still abit pissed that the dvla are allowed to give out all you info for money.

I got mine a few weeks back. They have no right to recover any money as it stands and their empty threats do not help their cause! You can appeal their demands, for which they have to pay £35, and then still ignore them.....if you're feeling cynical!

So far I've had the original charge, 1st reminder and then the 2nd reminder today.
All being put on a pile and ignored (the bin is too far away to bother getting up :smiley:)

Yep that's what I'm doing as well! Funny thing is last week I forgot to put my plate back on and wondered why everyone moved out the way when I came up behind Them! Only noticed when I couldn't buy fuel cos I didn't have the front plate!

Get people looking at you like 'theres something missing on the front of his car' :confused: lol.
I have been caught out in shell before for not having it on the front. Had to go and hold it up so he could read it. You can always park with your back to them so they read the back number plate :wink:

The guy didn't look convinced when I fished my spare from the boot! Genuinely didn't know!! Half tempted to keep it like that :/

anyone know what the regs are on position of number plates?

Yep. Needs to be straight and on the outside, and if your car has a plinth it needs to go on it. If you put a aftermarket bumper/us style grill on, and your plinth vanishes, still needs to be mounted on the plinth location as the changes are entirely self made. Luckily knowledge of this part of the SVA regs are not well know and you can pretty much put it anywhere. Dash is a no no as it's not straight, nor outside. No case law has been created on this so no official direction unfortunately! As long as you don't take the pi55 you wont be botherd. Mine has had the 'look', but nothing more.
Mine is currently sitting on the bottom part of the lower grill as lovingly seen in the photo below taken on Friday.

If your gunna do magnets (and I do actually have some on mine with a plate to suit, but atm I think my current set up looks better), make sure you put enough soft clothe on to ensure no scratching!! I was very lucky but could have ended up with a hugeeeee scratch on my shiner grill.
Plans. Yes. :evilgrin: May/June i'm thinking for the next GTI outing.

sweet thanks for the good advice there....
may/june sounds good mate

Magnets are by far the coolest little mod i've done! Lots of people seem to be suprised when I tell them the plate actually stayed on over 20 mph!
-
Yeah the magnet mod is pretty cool :happy2: I have found on my pressed plate that a few have come away, although they are still held in place with the duct tape I have on there.
Would be up for the next meet in May/June, just cant make 10th to 18th May as off on holiday.

That's cool, was thinking end of may/start of June anyway so consider them avoided. I have been impressed with my magnets, maybe because i absolutely caked then in glue but still solid 5 months on...and actually one repels as I glued it the wrong way round but hey :)
-
Am still surprised how powerful they are... nearly took my fingers off messing about with them... when they can be pulled apart that is :scared:

Got my first "you haven't paid" from their LEGAL department. Funnily enough, they are being kind and have extended the payment deadline by another 28 days for me. How kind of them.

Still locked for me.
Other threads been deleted.
If I do another it'll get deleted. The other is still locked so I can't update. No contact about this. If I can't update anything/promote it, what's the point.

Ah yeah it still is, was looking at the wrong one.
Maybe ask them if we delete this one they can unlock the other one?
If not then maybe edit this one to reflect the new details?

There seems to be a lot of confusion in these threads about locking them. First off there is no reason why anyone would lock these threads other than by mistake. I might have locked it by mistake using my I-pad but to be honest i dont read any of these meeting threads. I have just checked the logs and the op himself has removed the new thread pertaining to this meet and locked it himself twice probably by mistake, if you go to another thread after posting on this one you wont know it has been locked or removed. I went and found the original thread on the second page of the section and unlocked it this morning. We have had cases in the past were threads have disappeared on been locked and the logs on the server have shown no evidence of any mods or the ops touching them. :chicken: So if a thread is locked and you don't know why just send us a PM and i will sort it for you. :drinking:

Regarding the original meet at South Mimms, I was wondering if anyone has had the latest letter from 'Parking Eye'?? I got one through the post this morning, recorded deliery. Apparently I have got another 14days to pay the £100 fine/charge, how generous. If I dont then they will take me to court and so on.

I'll pm you in a bit. They gave up on me in march. They seem to think the legislation supports them and that they can issues county court papers. Still not the case.

I also got this letter this morning!

:happy2:
same here....

I'll do a pm in the morning to all you lovely people who have 'The Letter'. Dw, still file ATM. Still don't need to do anything per se yet. Should be said that parking eye are automatically putting All their 'charges' through like this. That's nearly 1000 a day. You still won't need to pay anything but the approach is slightly different. We'll sort this!!
-
My bad. Haven't had a spare moment in the afternoon. On my phone ATM will be long if write it all out so will send some info out tomorrow morning.......for definate.
