Macdaddy 10 Posted April 8, 2012 Anyone know what the deal is for the show and shine for club cars? Thinking of entering for the craic. I know its says just turn up but will that mean i'm then seperated from the Corrado forum? Never done S+S before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIPVW 0 Posted April 8, 2012 Got it in one mate, Many shows you have to enter in advance but quite a few are relaxed like this one. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIPVW 0 Posted April 8, 2012 Ah Rich thats a bugger, you reckon it's down to the radiator then? was hoping you'd crack it with a sensor :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joby 0 Posted April 8, 2012 kip the sensor actually made the readings higher, just cant chance cooking the engine, so a new rad is on the list as its an old one so try that first.. Half way through the sprinter piece now mate you wiil be pleased to know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted April 8, 2012 Where will you get the rad from? may need one for the Nugget too, :/ Thanks awfully for making the effort with the article, it's appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if its just someones spare and i can just try it to see if thats the problem :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portent 0 Posted April 8, 2012 I'm not going to the show but in the very unlikely event that you're in the Surrey area I have a spare MAF you're welcome to try on your way up there. Long shot but thought I'd offer it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempest 0 Posted April 9, 2012 Pictures of Elsecar 2012 - click me! Great little weekend away, despite the rather wet weather. Big thanks to Jim for taking me as a passenger in his VR, Paul and Jude for their great hospitailty (once again), the Indian foodnight yesterday, brekkie this morning, and the fun we had as a group of C-enthusiasts amidst the ocean of questionable latest ¨Dub styling trends¨, to name a few: Still stuff dangling from rear toe-eye. Air-ride, pfff, pffff, pfff, scrape, Oops, airride, did I mention airride? :lol: Porsche tombstone seats and Audi TT turbo engine in Mk1 Golfs Rotiform alloy wheels galore Vertical stickers placed along a-pillar on windscreen saying all sorts of uselss stuff, best one was the one that just said ¨Sticker¨ (well-spotted by Paul) I am getting too old :lol: Tempest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted April 9, 2012 Indeed Eric, but that also allows us experience to be cynical :lol: Top weekend as ever and always good to spend time with you guys. Great to meet some new people too! You Know who you are :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted April 9, 2012 Nice pics, i did notice the weather report on sunday and it looked like a wet one, good turnout though by the looks of things, is it me or from the pics is there a lack of Rallye's ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 9, 2012 Just to echo Eric's sentiments - thanks so much for Kip and Judith for their super hospitality and good to meet a few new folks and some more usual suspects for food last night - a great evening :) In terms of organisation and stuff I liked the venue, and I liked that there were places to escape the noise and get well priced food and drinks. Shame there were very few trade stands (as seems to be a trend at shows these days). The show however just reminds me how far detached I feel from the VW scene in general.. without going into critical detail, I just don't "get it" :| Reminds me why I much prefer to take the Corrado along to more general "classic car" type shows with real enthusiasts and a varied amount of interesting cars, rather than trying to either keep up with the latest fashion or one-up peers with even more preposterous or expensive modifications. Ugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StueyB 0 Posted April 9, 2012 Must say really enjoyed the trip up to Elsecar today, first time I've ventured up North for it as its a little bit of a hike but worth the effort despite the weather. Helped out a forum member by delivering some wings, save courier fees and potential damage. Generally enjoyed a much more relaxed, 'old skool' style show. Atmosphere reminded me more of some of the shows I went to when first getting into the VW world. Great to see so many Corrado's knocking about as well, in all guises from Judith's impeccable Storm to a lovely modified Bordeaux Red G60 at the far end. Food & drink extremely reasonable, got music levels & choice about spot on, loved looking at Rallye's and they even had owls. Yes Owls. Might jack the whole car thing in and focus on these wonderful creatures. All in all great day out and chuffed I got up early to make the trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
