Dogma 10 Posted August 12, 2016 LOL Don't you just love roadworks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier 1 Posted August 12, 2016 Just arrived in Leeds ready for the morning. My God! What a horrible drive! Why are there 20 miles of roadworks and 40mph limit (although traffic barely moving), yet there wasn't a single friggin workman on the whole thing! Ahhhhhhggggg 6 hours to get here, reminds me why I don't like travelling this far for shows etc. Yep, us too .nasty drive. Still , here now all safe . Off out shortly for a pint and bite to eat :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocket Ron 1 Posted August 12, 2016 I came up Thurs and to make the long long drive worthwhile staying at a hol inn express Leeds east Toby Carvery last night and only £6.75 bargain. Been to York today site seeing National Rail Museum fantastic and Free to go in only a donation if you want well worth a visit. York town very good aswell well worth a visit also. Leaving about 9 30 in morning see you all there. I'll be representing the CCGB Committee and a sample of merchandise will be available look out for a banner.

Sommevr6 10 Posted August 12, 2016 Just finished giving the corrado some tlc before driving over tomorrow. Sounds like traffic has been a mare. Can anyone advise whether the problems were just motorway or a roads aswell. Coming from Lancs so was gonna go through Harrogate or should that be avoided? First show and booked for the display so don't wanna get snarled and miss the lock out time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEZR 10 Posted August 12, 2016 Corrado finally put back together, Painted door handles fitted, Electric Windows fixed, scraper seals fitted, washed and ready for detailing! For the show weekend!!! Let's hope she starts in the morning and gets me to Leeds! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk She looked an absolute peach as you flew by! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KARMANN 0 Posted August 12, 2016 Also in Leeds now. Traffic was slow between Harrogate and Leeds, it took an hour. Going to leave fairly sharp in the morning to head up to Harewood. The car needs a good clean, pesky little flies. Heading out into Leeds for some dinner and beer. Looking forward to seeing all the Cs tomorrow.

Jim 1 Posted August 12, 2016 I just read the letter that came with my display hangar and apparently I needed to buy tickets in advance. Oh well, guess that writes that off for me :( Didn't even give a second thought to tickets and just assumed I could buy on the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted August 12, 2016 I'm not heading down now as not long home from my holiday in the North of Scotland and cannot face another 4 hr drive at 0400 tomorrow morning.

Jim 1 Posted August 12, 2016 Jim were you coming for the day or for a short weekend! You can buy day tickets on the gate Was just planning to come for the day but had a hangar for the club display.. I guess I wouldn't be able to get onto the display? Sorry - my screw up. I should have read the letter - just put it aside and forgot about it :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanVr6 0 Posted August 12, 2016 I registered too, but on the Corrado club stand? Isn't that for the Corrado display It says there's plenty of spaces left on Ccgb website. But the vw festival website says no spaces available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should have read the letter - just put it aside and forgot about it :( As long as you've got the hanger for the display, you can still buy the ticket on the day. Just will mean a slight delay entering the show. Which I might have to do as well if the misses decides to come. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted August 13, 2016 It says there's plenty of spaces left on Ccgb website. But the vw festival website says no spaces available. The CCGB events calendar entries are primarily for the CCGB to gauge how many CCGB members will attend. Not everyone has used the calendar, so I suspect there will be quite a few more CCGB members attending than just the 13 or so that have registered on the CCGB events calendar.

Philuk 0 Posted August 13, 2016 If you already have your hanger for the display then you can come and pay on the gate for the day. If you haven't registered come and pay on the gate and say your on the display, I'm sure we could sort something out :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted August 13, 2016 Back home now. Good to put some more faces to names and great to see so many Corrados all in one place, and have to say the overall standard of cars is excellent! Was an absolute nightmare drive up yesterday, but an absolute joy to drive back down today. Weather wasn't too hot, roads were reasonably quiet and surprisingly in a good state of repair, and the car performed impeccably as expected! Hope to see you all again soon! Oh and sorry, I was utterly useless and barely took a single photo all day, and only one which is out of focus and pretty poor of the cars. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
