daves16v 1 Posted December 8, 2014 Enjoyed the mini meet although a bit cold, nice to meet some new folk. I wouldn't normally have driven a 3 hour round trip just for a 2.5 hour meet but I haven't done many meets this year. Thanks to Sean for the drive, can't wait to get that new shifter in now, amongst other ideas planted in my head. Love the Rota's Mic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mic_VR 3 Posted December 8, 2014 Cheers Dave. Once I'm not bumping it up a curb each time I park I'll be getting them refurbed. Glad you made the effort, you car really is a great example all round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdem 0 Posted December 9, 2014 Shall we have the next meet a bit closer to Dave's neck of the woods? Might attract some more guys from the Midlands too :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted December 10, 2014 Are you thinking some time in January for the next one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted December 10, 2014 Make it Bigger! I may be tempted to come up then! I want to get to a few meets/shows before I'm off in April. Only UD on the cards at the moment though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairyarse 10 Posted December 10, 2014 Yeah I'm up for travelling! :thumbleft: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted December 10, 2014 I'm up for travelling further, I'll also be putting the feelers out for going to the autometrix Audi/vw trackday at castle Combe next year and getting a gang together? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdem 0 Posted December 10, 2014 Sounds good to me im up for that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M15 VW 0 Posted December 31, 2014 Dammit, just missed out on the meet. I'd be up for the next one :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted December 31, 2014 Castle Coombe isn't far from me so I wold be up for that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted December 31, 2014 Just seen they've finally updated the Autometrix event calendar and the VW/Audi day isn't going to be until August 15th next year! Might try to organise something track biased before then.... And I've never been to Ultimate Dubs so I'll definitely be trying to make that one this year.

Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted December 31, 2014 I'll jump on the castle Coombe event if my work calender agrees. Ultimate dubs is crap Mic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 31, 2014 Ultimate dubs is crap Mic! ^ This. I went a few years back and quite enjoyed it but I think that was more due to the fact I hadn't been to a VW show for 7-8 years. You do get a few nice cars there but the endless identikit show cars gets boring quite quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdem 0 Posted December 31, 2014 I've done ultimate dubs for the past few years but giving it a miss this year. It's good but not worth the drive. Going to do early edition this year instead as it's only Northampton :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M15 VW 0 Posted December 31, 2014 Is early edition still the first show of the year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 31, 2014 Is early edition still the first show of the year? Think Ultimate Dubs is the first show. Don't know if Early Edition ever was, was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted December 31, 2014 Any scope for another 'local' type pub meet? Would be well up for a trip over for a little get together in January some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 31, 2014 Faye (ScarletVR6) organised one round here a while back which seemed to go quite well. Can't remember where it was though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loepan 11 Posted December 31, 2014 horses for courses, i really enjoy ud, all though a few years back (can't remember what year) it was snowing and that was a nightmare, if i had tickets and the weather was crap, i would personally give it a miss. think its been going since around 06-07, could be wrong, don't know what the show starter was before that, not sure how long early edition has been going, i didn't think that long...could be wrong again haha of the uk shows one i will definitely be going to is players, never been before and still looks good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted December 31, 2014 I'd be very keen for a meet in the Hampshire/Dorset area. I was actually looking last week but I'm not entirely familiar with the area so wouldn't know a good place to meet up. I was considering suggesting Beaulieu but I don't know if people would want to do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted December 31, 2014 This thread is from the Peterborough meet up a few weeks ago Sean. I don't want to sound like an arse but maybe a separate thread may be a better idea for you. Although Beaulieu is a good shout! I'm up for a meet in the Peterborough/Nottingham region, how about a pub in Rutland? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted December 31, 2014 That sort of area would suit me I think (Rutland) :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
