Hi Tom

I would love to attend, but may be there is a need to extend the invite to Monte's as well? I know that the Fabia vRS have a good following, but speaking for one that own's and loves my Monte's, plus I am sure that there are loads of Monte owners that would like to come along.

Santa Pod is for modified cars for showing and a run down the strip, which the Fabia vRS and the Monte should fall into! You vRS owners run down the strip, the Monte owners can maybe just watch and polish! But it would be good to show our club off to others!

Look forward to you comments

Add me to this as well please, quite fancy a mk2 Vrs owners meet and greet, lord knows with all the engine changes there should be plenty of greeting going on. Just need to get routefinder out, or my old AA annual that someone got me in the early nineties so I can find where I'm supposed to be heading.

[Ootohere]

Ahh a few vRS crossing the Border.

I will head down the West side of the country sometime early on the Friday.

Maybe crossing from Penicuik through Biggar, but i will be stopping in at Abington Services for sure.

(with a 'Dont follow me, i am lost!' sticker on the car.)

 

I hope that no Monte Carlo or any other Skoda owners feel that they would not be made welcome.

Even Yeti section members & drivers would be given a special greeting to show that we are all Jock Tamsons bairns.

Woke up during the night and wondered who was speaking to me,

and it was the GPS having got a signal after about 4 hours and telling me how to drive out my street.

Hi Steve,

The original plan was for a vRS meet but if you or any other Monte owners would like to attend you would be more than welcome I'm sure :-)

Looking forward to it...

[Ally_bassman]

Numbers looking good! Getting more and more excited for it.

 

151 miles door to door, just debating whether an overnight stop may be in order.....

Nope

[h3srr]

Thanks for the invite Tom.

It's in my diary, looking forward. It's been I while since I have been to the Pod, last time was with the Saxo club which must have been 10 years or more ago! That's showing my age - the Saxo guys thought I was an old fart then!

But you are only as old as the car(s) you drive - so there is still hope for me.

I've requested the 16th and 17th off at work! 78 miles door to door. Take a nice slow...fast drive down there. Hopefully meet up with some of you guys on the motorway!

[sharkrider]

I have put in for the time off.

[Naths vRS]

I'd be up for it before the poor girl gets sold.

What a choice of cars there will be for ToxicvRS, 

& he can maybe try before he buys.  

Why take 2 bottles into the shower ?, just bring cash.

[Naths vRS]

@goneoffSKi - Unsure when mine was registered mate, as I'm at work, my no.plate is T16 NJP if you'd like to do the honours.

[Ootohere]

Yours is in the Road Test Video is it not?

One of the very first. i will have a look at the Video.

 

Looks a bit nicer now. Like it.

I wonder if someone owns the vRS that Fifth Gear used to break the various Speed Records.

 

Not sure if it is OV10 DBO But it was there or there abouts.

Maybe at a Dealers or Skoda.

Apparently 334 miles door to door for me, and according to t'interweb should take 5hrs 21 mins. So somewhere in the region of 670 miles round trip and at least 10 hrs driving according to guide.

 

Think I'll try to follow George example and book for Friday and Saturday at least, maybe need to travel back on Sunday due to work but can perhaps sort something out given amount of notice I can give.

 

Should be a blast, and that's just the M74! 5hrs 21 mins? Dinnae think so somehow.

George,

You don't need to heel and toe in a straight line!
