As a bit of a novice to this VW world

I had a top day, very friendly.

Anyone that didn't make it missed out (except on the weather)

I look forward to next year!

Anyone interested in meeting up at forton services (N) for the cruise up to the event?

The interior came to tinternet and was listed as G40 so i beleived thats what it was!

As for the paint n bumpers, rust is getting in everywhere n the bumpers came cheap from a mate!

But thanks for the feedback

I think the same format would wourk well ...

This sounds like a right laugh,

I've just come back from Newquay on a similar event with the Renault Sports Club, It was a top weekend.

Every one met along route at various services (ala cruise) and everyone convoyed to Newquay!

Excellent! Shame they were all Reno's!

But was thinking this would ...

Just got my hands on a lovely gt 3f lump for my breadvan,

The plan is a full rebuild at uni (I'm studying motorsports), Thanks to one of my lecturers.

But i was wondering if anyone knows of any suppliers for uprated con rods, pistons, uprated gaskets kits, etc.

Any help would greatly appreciated ...
