Mandy's GTI

[6N2 GTI 00]

That's a nice looking GTI, looks mint and I love the wheels.
Looks like an exact copy of a 6N2 TDi that was for sale on here recently, same colour & wheels

Prefer Craigs though because of his pimping engine bay and stunning interior

[Moosegirl]

Yeah his looked so cool after seeing it properly, the first time i walked round the bonnet was down then he lifted it later on. Had loads of people hanging around it! Haha

Loads of competition though, the standard of the cars was unreal so he did well just getting inside

[6N2 GTI 00]

Yeah shame he didn’t win anything but as you already mentioned the standard was no doubt really high

Least he can take the satisfaction in knowing his car is used everyday rather than sat in garage all the time being polished just for shows etc
That's one of the things that irritates me about show & shine etc, some cars that are entered never ever see the road they are just expensive ornaments

[Moosegirl]

That is so true! When the show finished most of the cars inside were being masked up ready for being driven home. It was obvious most of them never see the light of day hardly.

We went outside for a look and to be honest most of the best cars were outside.... Realistic, affordable and actually being used.

A car was turned away from the indoors bit for not being 'up to standard'..... Apparantly it was a lovely car aswell, fresh paint job and wheels etc... dunno what it was though

Hahah yeah we saw some on the way home with retailers tape all around the arches hahah! I agree with you completely the best stuff was in the car park. Dailys and dirty as they should be. Saw a guy in a proper rat mk3 real low park up get out his push chair two kids and his wife from this thing was amazing. I couldn't have a car and not use it

[Moosegirl]

Hahaha the car i travelled down in was masked up that was just to keep it clean until we got there. Blue and green masking with a massive VW on the bonnet. Was quite funny lol. No point in masking it on the way back since the show was done.

I was amazed there was a carpeted room for the extra special cars haha

[6N2 GTI 00]

Yeah I agree totally, it’s the same at all shows whether it be VAG's, Japs or Classics etc the best cars are always in the car park

Not having a go at the show room cars because they look amazing but there is a lot of snobbery and fierce competition
You can’t keep a car in pristine condition if you’re using it every day, especially in this country so you have to accept that you’re going to get stone chips, scratches etc

I like seeing the old retro battered VW's that have had a good hard life, those are the cars that should be at shows

[Ashcroft]

Agree with everyone in this!! The cars in the carpark was awesome I didn't get round the whole carpark but what I seen was lush.

The carpeted room was great I loved it in there

[Moosegirl]

Did you see the Lupo with the pink interior in the posh room? He's on my local forum

Its lush

[Ashcroft]

Yeh and colour coded engine bay too? Looked nice

[Moosegirl]

Yeah, it used to be on Zender Turbos. I'm not a massive fan of the wheels he had on but it still looked awesome!

[Ashcroft]

I need to sort my laptop out to get pics up asap I got too many to do on my phone lol

[Moosegirl]

Haha. I've put the link on the events gallery

[6N2 GTI 00]

Was there a black Lupo GTI in the showroom with red leather interior?

Some lad from North Wales owns it, he's usually at UD in the showroom bit

[Ashcroft]

I'll check the pics out in a bit then

Ben mate there was so many I couldn't answer unless I looked through all the pics lol
