Yep, if you come, you defo see it

Well i thought this was a good show.

yeah, weather was good this year so that helped. It is a nice long run down there too

Hope you all had a good show guys and gals

i thought the show was good, but the convoy was a complete waste of f*****g time. we all met and left together and the first half of the convoy was really good and loads of cars, then lees sat nav got us lost, no problem with that but when we all leave together and all the lads with the gtis and vr6s go off at over 100mph and leave a few of us lost is a f*****g joke. all these rules about sticking at 70mph went out the window, and lee who set them decided to f**k off aswel, would like to say thanks to matty for keeping back with a few of us and sorting his sat nav out so we could get there.

next time i think me and matt may just go in our own time and stay at a good speed instead of watching our penis's grown when we give it a bit of gogo juice and ditch everyone else.

really dissapointed if im honest, for me this pretty much spoiled most of the day as we didnt get parked as a fendubbers groupd either

Sorry to hear that Joe :(

I didn't go in A Gti or a vr6, and when the satnav went down I got mine out and led us in! Now not for one moment do I think I went anywhere near 100 mph with my 7 year old son strapped in the car!
So I'm sorry if you got lost but at one point I was sat at 50 on the m6 waiting for cars! And I was actually quite concious of how fast/slow to go being the lead.

If you and Matty are going to go on your own next time then I suggest you get the postcode and name of the location first or follow one of the many many other vag going in the same direction!

Anyway if you hadn't have had those big ass wheels on you mightve gone faster

It was like santa pod when the vr6s came out of the toll! Sounded good but wasnt so good for keeping the convoy together. Im glad I caught up with the few cars behind matty or I wouldnt have known where to go having forgot my map. Great show anyway

Firstly, i went up to 90mph coming out of the toll for quite a while and i wasnt even keeping up with others, and we lost you and lee ALONG way before the toll.

secondly, this was the first show ive been to where id forgoten to get the postcode before i left, but i thought itll be alright we are convoying up there.

and lastly, i could have kept up perfectly fine if i wanted to but i actually looked in my rear view mirror and thought there guys with less the 100bhp flaggin behind so managed to dig my new satnav out and get us to telford.

i dont know whos fault it was and honestly dont care, but if this is whats gonna happen this year then ill make my own way there.

sat nav worked okay then dude?

yeah cheers m8, spot on


Oh and Yeah having a satnav with the postcode doesnt always get you where you want to go. im sure lee will agree with that!!

Dint go, but its a shame a few people felt a tad disappointed.

I plan to go next year, and if there's an FD convoy, none of this tomfoolery, my car had 44bhp on tap 15 years ago, Id appreciate a little patience

44bhp! thats insane

think yourself lucky, Dan!

well said matty, we got left straight off the round about after lees sat nav went pootang.

i wasnt far from being beind u running around 85mph and i still not sure how we didnt catch up with the other who "slowed down".

i think there was a problem with this going to a show last year when steph first ran her wide 14s and didnt want to kill the tyres so everyone sped off then too. hence i think why the eleged "rules" were put in place so everyone could enjoy the convoy, and then drop back and go to the front and get some rolling shots for eveyone.

oh the vr6's did sound good cmoing out of the tolls though!


would like to say aswel before we got left we was running much faster than 70mph as i was 3rd in the convoy and lee in the blue mk1 was about 6 cars lenths behind me with everyone following him.

think its a shame as when we first set off i couldnt see the back of the convoy in my rear view mirror! shame 5 of us got there together in the end!

fendubbers convoys have always beeing like this

Thats not exactly true now is it tom. some of the santa pod convoys have been really good, and the DC 1 was good, considering the cabby was running 3 cylinders most of the way

players last year wasnt bad either. Except Jims wobbly wheels

arnt convoys ment to be a cruise down, not a race?

i got lost as well boys when we left the toll, went the wrong way but managed to find my way without a t**t-nav or map, but yes it was abit wrong 2 leave the others,
every1 should no where pod is by now so that should b a better run, lets hope

It has to be said the speed did pick up a fair bit after we made that stop.
I know how hard it can be to keep up, I attended every show last year in my mk1 1.6d caddy with a 4 speed gear box until july. I always tried to start near the front but very quickerly ended up at the back.

On the plus side loved the show!
