Ipswich meet in August

[Stug]

Hello Adman, as Tim says come on down more the merrier

[PeteVRS]

Nice to meet everyone today, hope you found your ice cream van OK in Bawdsey.

Hopefully this is the first of many meets, the turnout was good with 8 cars (I think) a mix of standard and non-standard.

I was well impressed with some of the cars, your motor Stug71 was quicker than my remapped Fabia VRS, you've done a good job there.

I'm sure we all regressed about 20 years in age on the journey to Woodbridge judging by the beaming smiles at the other end

See you all at the next meet By then I will have my "General Pete" flag on the roof (General Lee might be seen as very non-PC) and my musical airhorns.

[Static]

Was a good meet, nice to meet you all and a good afternoon.

Hope you had a good run out to Bawdsey.

Here are the pics i have from this afternoon...

Cheers all

Really good to meet you guys today. (Even the oddball red octavia Stug. Does sound nice ticking over) lol.

Run out to Bawdsey was hindered by a guy in a BMW. Typical.

The run back after was good. It's a nice road to drive if it's a bit clearer.

Gonna have to get mine chipped/mapped soon.

Hope to see you all soon.

Cheers for the pics static. All looking good in a row.

Si.

It was really nice to meet everyone today. Some very nice cars and great weather too.

Must say Stug71 your car was the most suprising, a real subtle but fast car:thumbup:

As above, nice to meet everyone. A good turn out for the first local meet - lets keep the ball rolling!

The drive back was interesting

[Stug]

Hello , really good to meet you all.

Thanks Pete my old girl don't go to bad does she but i'm sure when you get the general lee mods done that will deffo give you some more bhp, especially the air horns lol.

Thanks for the photo's Static, they look good. Bawdsey run was spoilt a bit by a BMW driver as Blueriver says (do like your user name si ) but the ice cream was nice at the end.

Blueriver you may of had a good run back but i got stuck behind them sunday drivers and when i did get past got stuck behind even slower ones :rotz: you were probably already at home by that time. Really like your wheels.

Thanks Adam hope you had a good trip back. Was really good to see all them Skoda's in convoy and i think they were all quick, even the billy no mates red one

Tim why was your drive back interesting? you can't dangle a carrot like that and not tell us more!!

Thats it essay over, take care all and thanks for coming

[*tim*]

I absolutely flee home

Only met one driver going the same way as me, and when I went to overtake she pointed out of the drivers window and drifted onto the other side of road :eek: clearly wasn't paying any attention to what was behind. I eased off a bit and waited until the next straight bit to get past

Yes, ice cream was good!!

Aside: got my black fog surrounds fitted this evening. Black grill surround next!

More flppiing sunday drivers :rotz:. I will look forward to seeing your surrounds and grill next time .

Good to meet everyone today.

Had a good run back on the A12. Spotted a yellow Octy mk1 vRS just outside Beccles, so there are some other non-silver and black ones around, Stug71

Will post my photos tomorrow as they need resizing first.

Lol ,thats good to know that there's other colours out there just need them to come along.

Glad you had a good run back look forward to seeing the photos

[Mercurio]

Here are my pics from yesterday.

[Mercurio]

Apologies to Stug71 for not getting more of your car in any of the pictures.

Nothing against red cars Just trying to avoid getting the Mundano parked next to you in the frame!

[Stug]

Nice pic's Mercurio

No problem i'm not upset :orb_upset much

[blueriver]

Well done on the pics Mercurio.

Stug71 is gonna get one hell of a complex about his car! I think he thinks we don't love him anymore. (We do really)

Next meet we will have to take more pics of his car to fit in. Be nice to get some more colours in too.:rainbow:

I might be able to persuade a friend to come along (and join briskoda), although he does have a BLACK Mk1 Octy RS. Gonna have to look out for more colours in the area.

Stug, you'll have to take flyers out with you everywhere to put on other coloured cars to come along.

[Mercurio]

I'll have to ask my work colleague with a red Octy Mk2 Sport to come along and park next to Stug's car

[adman73]

Good pics Mercurio

[Stug]

Thanks Blueriver & Mercurio I'm feeling the love

Yes flyers is a great idea and i might try begging to !

[PeteVRS]

Well my Fabia is still looking lovely and clean. Shame it won't get washed again until the next meet

[*tim*]

I hope everyone remembers the rule 'grubby cars will be turned away' at the next meet

[Mercurio]

Thanks Blueriver & Mercurio I'm feeling the love

Good news Stug. I was chatting to the guy at work with the red Octy Sport today and he says he's up for coming to the next meet.

So should we start discussing a date?

[Stug]

Thats really spooky Mercurio, I was just about to start a new thread about the september meet then i saw you had put a new post on. I was thinking the 13th of september, how are you fixed for that?

We really should of talked more about this sunday but time just went so quick.

Great news about the guy from work you have got to come along :thumbup:

[Mercurio]

Unfortunately I will not be around on either the 13th or the 20th, but most other Sundays are good for me.

I think a new thread for the next meet is a good idea - let's see what others think.

[Skoda Si]

Nowt wrong with a grubby car!

'Use it dont cruise it', thats what I always say!

[Stug]

I think we might have to go a bit further ahead then because i can't make the 20th or 27th but if some of the other guys can make them dates we might have to miss out this one :rotz:.

Perhaps we should go for the middle of October then, give us all a bit more time.

Any other ideas everyone? Be good to get the thread started soon, i just can't wait for the next one.
