#1: South West Meet Needed *Updated* Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 11:30 am ---- Now that we're moving into spring and it's getting slightly warmer we should be organising some meets soon, anyone interested in going, you want to list ideal locations of where to go and what day is best for everyone.
I have a few locations but there in plymouth itself and are not any superstore car parks, best day for me is any sunday
Date for meet will be 01/04/12, time tbc
Those attending

#2: Re: South West Meet Needed Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:11 pm ---- Sounds interesting mate, I am up for a meet
A few places around Dartmoor/Exmoor are nice. Very nice backdrops for photos.
Maybe around Cheddar Gorge? That is nice this time of year, and may get a few more info'ers coming from Bristol/Swindon way
#3: Re: South West Meet Needed Author: ARRAN, Location: WiltshirePosted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 1:51 pm ---- I'd be interested, I'm from Swindon
#4: Re: South West Meet Needed Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 4:47 pm ---- Cheddar gorge seems a good idea, will need to see who's up for the trip and set a day
#5: Re: South West Meet Needed Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 4:52 pm ---- Sounds a good plan. Now the weather is picked up and getting better.
If there is a good turn out, could make it more regular.
#6: Re: South West Meet Needed Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 11:38 am ---- Well i'm sold on cheddar gorge, it will make for a good drive and a good day out, question is, when? As i'm waiting on an op which will prevent me from driving my car for 2 months
#7: Re: South West Meet Needed Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:15 pm ---- Would it be best to put a Poll up with suggestions of dates?
As with you, the weekends are better for me. (Usually better for everyone!)

Your dad would probably look confused if we kept calling him Craig.
Same with us, we both use the car daily. Martin has done all of the painting, and I normally do all of the cleaning and audio wiring.
So do you Craig drive the CC too? Or just do bits and peices to it?

Just a cheapie Chinese special, but got me about for a year... Sold it to Martins Stepdad and he got another 3 years use out of it.

The Mk1 Golf was lovely.
That hideous modified Punto (I assume that is the one you mean) may have had connections with Swindon. We only had it for a short while, we swapped it in Broadstairs, Kent and got rid of it in Guildford.
I don't know where it went from there, but a few months later I got a letter from the Police in the post saying that the car had been in a hit and run and they were trying to trace the owner.
It had a Twin Centre exhaust (very loud) and most of the rear bumper was full of unsanded, unpainted filler.... Does that ring any bells?
#35: Re: South West Meet Needed *Poll now added* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 6:22 pm ---- i remember one round the corner (roughest part) lol with a centre exit and had poorly sprayed rear bumper and red mush or something like that
#36: Re: South West Meet Needed *Poll now added* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 6:25 pm ---- how long you planning on keeping the gti then looks like you go through a few tbh lol and my cousin might be joining me if he gets this polo gti on saturday
#37: Re: South West Meet Needed *Poll now added* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 6:39 pm ---- It might have been. The filler that was in the rear bumper when we had it was just like household stuff!
But it may have had more work done on it!
Planning to keep the GTi, but we have planned to keep preety much every car we have owned! We have never spent as much money modifying a car as we have done with this GTi, so who knows!
#38: Re: South West Meet Needed *Poll now added* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 6:41 pm ---- lol yeh me neither tbh were on the 3rd set of wheels due to un-honest ebay sellers and buckles these are ok though also just noticed i have the mot due this month :L
#39: Re: South West Meet Needed *Poll now added* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 6:43 pm ---- if i go to this meet ignore my mirror hanging on for dear life with black tape lol dad pushed it in to avoid damage and it broke at base lol should of left it like i said ahahha today was last payment on the car too yay bloody finance

Oh, the irony!
Own it outright now then...
We have brought 3 times on HP, each car has been faulty and had to be returned. Wouldn't buy from a car dealer again!
I know what you are saying about dis-honest eBay sellers though. It is so annoying to buy something, having it turn up and be useless, then you try to claim on Paypal, and they take no notice
#41: Re: South West Meet Needed *Poll now added* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 6:55 pm ---- yeh went to wales to collect these ones and i even intimidated the women to see if she was lying but she wsnt thank god was an epic drive though
