VW Players 20/09/09

yeah lee i spoke to wilba about going down in his bogey green golf as its now back out to play but we may have to meet you there around lunch time as i gotta see someone in the morning about the unit plus the guy who won the caddy was ment to pick it up today but said he couldnt make it so has pretty much fucked up the show 4 me now as he might wanna come tomorow and i quote " or monday or tuesday at the latest" lol so i dunno.

so save us a spot on the stand if thats ok dude as we may turn up to join ya.

What did you think to the show then folks?

Personally, i got board after 1 walk around the whole site. Some nice cars though.

Pleased to catch up with a few folks though

Highlight of the day for me was the convoy when we merged together on the M11 and then the heated drive home which nearly resulted in my tailgate being damaged and loosing the banner, the banner including poles was hanging over the tailgate due to draft caused by my heavy foot

Think i'll be giving next years show a miss

Had a good day glad the weather was nice got a little bit burnt lol, the convoy there was great couldn't have timed it better merging on the m11, was good to see everyone again when was the banner over the edge lee? im sure it was fine when we were behind you and up until milton round about?

It was on the M11 mate, just before you caught me up as i was picking up speed from when i pulled over.

I stuck it in the front for the rest of the way

u were going for it tho i saw u at the stanstead turn off and thought id catch u up but u were away lol, so slowed down a bit and thats when we caught u up, at least u saw it before it was too late

glad i missed that then! could have been driving home with a wooden pole through my windscreen.

i thought i was good to see the uber low motors and the rats. but the rest just seem to form one huge blob of sytle in various colours.

but it was worth going as i said above, but also to see the odd few motors that take modifying to the next level, EI t3d's white mk3 and the red low low LOW vr6 on hibollox.

and for that reason i will be going again next year.

Ah yes, i was convoying with jim in his red mk2 golf but he pulled off stansted to go elsewhere so i thought i'd have a nice drive home

I'd of cruised on if i saw you in my mirrors

I thought it was pretty good, nice weather (i got a little burnt too), great to catch up with people again and excellent turnout for the convoy etc. Em and the kids quite enjoyed it too.

Only thing i found disapointing was there were not many trade stands or autojumble etc

Im sure i will go next year just cos its so close.

Hear what your saying lee abit getting bored, but every time i walked round i see something different as car kept turning up as time went on.

think its not a bad show for a 10er, agree with martin about the trade stands though.

Yep, thought it was ok.
Not nearly enough to do tho. And like Lee said, one walk around and you've pretty much seen everything. And more stalls would've been better.
The convoy down there was awesome though!

Seemed to me like a bit of a Wheel-Whores outing to be fair. Nothing wrong with it, but I'd have been just as happy/happier at the monthly meet (thats a good thing!)

Was cool to meet a couple more people that I hadn't spoken to before!

Good day all in all

i agree with lee was a bit boring at first but like matty says about the other cars rolling up and it being cheap! did anyone know if they had the player stickers for sale?

couldn't get close enough for u to see me in ur mirrors u were gone lol, likewise on the stands im always wanting to buy something but there weren't many, oh well might be better next year im sure i'll go

BugJam for stalls/stands.
Edition38 for people, chillaxing, and gettin drunk.
Players etc for something interesting to do on a sunday.

All including VAGness obviously

Thats just my opinion anyway.

Think i was probs on a downer due to 4 hours sleep and my damn truck having a bat flattery at birchanger , lauching from the lights was good after though haha

I did get a few pics which i'll put up later

i thought the same as you guys (and even the wife agreed) not much to do once you'd walked around. small jumble area and bugger all stands to spend money on. no free stickers on entry either but still a good show for a tenner the guy in the transit van at Birchanger services getting the hump was my highlight of the day. he was stuck behind us all why we was waiting for Lee to get his truck started .

nice weather (i too got burnt), some nice motors, and a good catch up......overall a good day. too close to me not to go so i'll be there next year but this time it'll be in the caddy

yea i laughed at the noob in the transit lol where were you? ah so it was lees fault why we took so long to leave the less said about steve and joe pushing their way though the better

i had a good day spoke to sum intrestin people got a few ideas on wot to do next so big turbo, injectors, inlet manifold, and intercooler will be ordered very soon. show stalls big let down but some quality motors an a few bmw,s all together not bad for a 10er

not a bad day to be honest, i think most of you hit the nail on the head, some nice cars and a few good ideas popped up but after a walkround or two it became a bit repetitive, sorry i had to shoot off at the services Lee but the phone was going haywire and had to take the call.
anyway sounds like you picked it up a gear on the way home
not bad for a tenner but could do better.
good to meet more of you all though and the m11 meet up was like military precision.....beautiful!!

I give this a miss cos i got man flu and felt close to death this morning but i did think it maybe the same cars i see at edition with no stalls to splerge cash on.

i thought it was an o.k. day out and you can't grumble at a tenner. yes the car were all the "samie" but thats just the dub scene at the mo

Yep was my fault again , Blew a aux pipe off the metering head, went with a nice pop and lifted the bonnet lol , Refitted pipe then the battery was flat

It was fine when i started it for home aswell

see i thought it was quality, although i left at 1 so its not like i spent too much time there.

good weather, nice cars, fun convoys, good people. beats most of my lazy sundays!
