Great pics there EUS

[Peter Jones]

Thanks for great day everyone.

Good to meet you all. Congrats to our trophy winners.

I thought it's a bit rough that a '79 MK1 ends up being judged in the same class as a brand new MK5 with a chip in it. But I guess you've got to break up the divisions somehow.

What's next Plenty of good weather ahead!

Hi Everyone,
Glad everyone had a good day. Thanks posting the pics.
I had to work so none of my 3 GTI's saw light today. Was really interested to meet a few more of you. What was even worse was that some of the VW's from the show were driving past my work on the way home!!

Will definatly be their with all 3 cars next year and they will all be polished to an inch of their lives. I want silverware!!!

Cheers,

Simon

PS. Andrew, nice to swap GTI 5 runs on friday night

Hi Peter, was great to meet you.
I think the mk5s were in the same class as the R32s and the Polos?
Not real sure how the classes were broken down. I didn't really look into the way the classes were set.
Still, I enjoyed the day.

[gtigrl]

Hey guys,
Made it home safely. Sorry I didn't say hi to everyone, but I'm not really familar with everone's cars or usernames!

Anyway . . . good turnout and my photos will be online in a few days. I'm off to bed!

[Peter Jones]

The relevant (to us) classes were

ORIGINAL
Golf Mk 1 & 2
Golf Mk 3 & 4
Golf Mk 5
New water cooled
Old water cooled pre 2000
New Beetle
KOMBI camper all years
Transporter T4 and T5

MODIFIED
Golf
Modified Beetle 1958 Onwards
Modified Kombi 1968 Onwards


I can't claim mine's an original Mk1 when it's got an 1800 K-JET and it started life as a diesel, so that puts me up against brand new Mk5s with big stereos etc.

If you had a modified 1959 Beetle you were even worse off! You'd be up against IKON New beetles.

Modified type 3 and 4 (aircooled) got it pretty easy, they only span about 10 years max. Same with Karmann Ghia.

To be fair perhaps there was a weighting system to allow for the age of the cars, I'm not sure what the judging criteria was. It's a really tough job to work out how to break up the classes for these sorts of events.

Not that I'm too fussed, I had fun! I'd just like to be compared to similar cars. I can go and buy myself any trophy I please!


Who's gonna build the first Rat look Golf???

And where were all the other non-golf water pumpers for our cruise?


Pete

[GoLfMan]

mate its looking like im gunna build the first rat look golf
the participation from waterpumpers was amazing this year and we definately showed the aircoolers that we definately have numbers swelling in the ranks!

[Campaign]

Good to meet so many of you. In previous years there seemed so few watercooled vws and today so many Golfs. My photographer was a bit narrow in her interest in cars don't you think?






can you guess why?

Paul

[GoLfMan]

i didnt get to meet you mate ahh well next time, loved your car beautifully clean and original!!

[WEDEL.1]

Well wicked day!
I'm glad that I wore the cowboy hat! My arms are toast though!
It was a good drive there, always entertaining at the venue, then a relaxing drive back! Hats off to Josh on his drive back!


Photos soon!

P.S - Next year I'll have my whole car chrome dipped! I want that trophy! (I still respect the judges decisions)

Watch out! Next year I'll have our Mk III CL there!!
