Well done Monkey Boy, a very worthy winner of Other VAG Modified - Medium Class if ever I saw one. Your car is stunning It was a shame more Skodas and SEATs didnt make the trip out, we are really keen to make this event a full on VAG show - not just VW's. We will keep you guys informed about next years event, so see if you can muster a Club display, alnong with a Briskoda Banner

Excellent Monkey Boy

There doesnt seem to be much interest in this event, so maybe this will entice you along. The local Skoda Dealership will be attending with the "Skoda Roadshow", they will the new Octavia for people to browse, along with a couple of vRS models. So come on guys - you got no excuse

Okay Peeps, We had a meeting with Ragley Hall today to finalise arrangements - mainly the Catering! Most of you will remember that last year it was a bit of a nightmare. We rest assured, its gonna be loads better this time around. Firstly, the "Tea shop" has been upgraded to a resturant and can offer a huge selection of food, from light snacks to a full sunday lunch. Secondly, we will be having a fully equiped "Outside BBQ" located within the show. This will serve Burgers, Hot dogs, jacket spuds, etc etc etc. Both catering facilities will also offer, hot and cold drinks and a Licenced Bar - but please do act responsibly as drunk and disorderly behaviour will not be tolerated during the event. We have allocated space for 8 Traders. Also our Show Sponsors "Awesome GTI Store" who will be on hand to offer APR ECU Trial Upgrades and APR Full upgrades for people who fancy some extra power to drive home! A full Self-judged show n shine competition will be running from 11am through to 3pm with winners presentation at 4pm. Trophies will be given to all catagory winners, and a large Cup given to the Best Car of Show. A further award will be presented to the Best Club/Regional Display. Finally a Raffle will be running all day and the top Prize will be a Digital Camera worth

Okay, is anyone going to sort a "Briskoda Club Display"????? Come on guys. Hopefully have the new Octavia there for you to browse (although nothing confirmed yet - dealers are being a pain!!)

It clashed last year to when we held it on the 21st Sept. So this year we moved it forward to the 12th, and so did Vanfest :(

And a little reminder, if Briskoda would like a Club Display Plot, then please email here: [email protected] It would be great the have a well represented Skoda Club display

News Press release today: MK5 Golf sets Record sales in UK! Read it here: http://www.clubgtiworcs.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=76&mode=&order=0&thold=0

AutoExpress have announced that the New Octavia will only have a slight increase in price over the out going model. So it shouldnt affect sales

Yes it is bad news for VW, not really the Golf as such. The Golf has fallen foul to poor sales in its early month of launch and I think it more down to price than anything else. The New Golf is expensive, but only on paper. With the recent launch and price details of the New Astra, it is apprent that the Golf is only

Thanks mate. Yeah would be good to have a Briskoda Club Display - you may even win the Best Club Display Trophy There should be loads of other VAG groups coming, so please do come along and enjoy the atmosphere

All details have now been finalised and organisation is underway. So make a note of the following: Club GTI Ragley Hall Mega Meet 2004 Sunday 12th September 2004 Gates Open: 10am Admission: Club GTI Members - Adult

Meeting is on Tuesday 2nd March @ 8.00pm. Place - The Berkeley Arms pub, situated on the A44 aprox. 6 miles from Junction 6 of the M5 towards Evesham. Many items will be covered at the first Official meeting of Club GTI Worcestershire Region, and they will include: 1. Our Invite from Autometrix to put on a Club Display at GTI International 2004 2. We have been asked to sort out the Special Display area at this years BVF 2004, which will be a display dedicated to Club GTI and its Members. 3. Of course we have got to get the organisation started for Ragley Hall Mega Meet 2004. Along with these points, we will arranging a trip to the Club GTI AGM and we will also be starting a Club GTI Worcs Lottery Syndicate for all our regular members Make sure you can come along cause there will also be some spanking cars turning up - from R32's to Octavia vRS and Leon Cupra R's!!! Everyone is welcome. Here comes the Show Season 2004!

The Fabia vRS is an excellent car and you will be hard pushed to find an alternative at such a good price. However, there is the new Seat Ibiza FR which is about to be launched in this country and its a 150bhp 1.8T. Very reliable engine and highly tunable, as all the Octavia vRS driver know. Its gonna cost aorund

Yeah I agree - VW really need to pull their socks up! I have had first hand experience of reliability as my Turbo blewup on the day my car was delivered! Its had only done 50miles!!! Still, that said, VW did get the car back on the road within 36 hours, with a complete new exhaust system including new Cat., new turbo and new intercooler. VW are far from perfect, and with the new breed of cars trying to push VW up into the luxury sector, then they need to get the basics right before they go too far.
