Hi everyone!!!

Well soon enough it will be time for us all to have our roofs down and be out washing our cars on a sunday morning!

I've been talking to a few other members on the site and we've been discussing a meet this year.

So any ideas on where we can meet up and who would be interested.

Hopefully in the summer when its a bit warmer!!

I wash my car every Sunday morning 52 weeks a year! It's just a bit more pleasant in spring and summer..

I've washed mine once in six months - and it leaked when I did! :p That's why I didn't bother with it again!

Anyway, back to the original thread by Steph, if we can make it a bit more southerly I would probably make the journey ;)

Sounds good to me...!
As Doolally said, southerly is good. TGI's in Watford where we met at the last meet was do-able...

I'm up for a meet any time after mid April (when my car is delivered).

However, 'Dubs in the Park' is also on mid May which I was also planning to go to. Its only around the corner for me. I'm not sure if you can book places but it would be good to have an Eos grouping.

Can you post some more details on this please? I'd love to go if it is what I think it is (being slightly blonde you need to explain these things to me!) :p

It's ok I think I found it! This sounds good....bit far away but if it's good enough weather it's a good reason to stretch my Eos roofless legs as it may be (assuming the leaks have been patched up and the car returned to me by then!). ;) :rolleyes:

looks good is there a cost???

Lucari
02-12-2009, 02:35 PM
I think its free to get in but I'm not sure. There's lots of VWs there from classics to modern ones. I don't remember seeing an EOS there last year tho.

I'll try and find out and post a new thread.

I May be up for this, if I can make the eventual date, but as I am a shift worker, it will depend on the date. As I live in Kent, the South end of the UK would suit me better.

If I have my (very basic compared to some of you with all the trimmings) car by then I'll be there.

03-11-2009, 09:53 AM
I'm there assuming my car is back by then ;)

NinjaDonkey

I think I could make that. Nothing booked for that day!
Gonna put it in my calendar.

03-11-2009, 04:58 PM
Ninja I'm booking out your back seats in case my car is still not dry or in one piece by then! :p

Lucari
03-11-2009, 08:04 PM
Should have mine by then so I'll definately be there.

NinjaDonkey
03-12-2009, 11:23 AM
Vicky, you're more than welcome to the back seats. Just be warned that if the sun is out then you'll need a scarf (and quite possibly biggles goggles :))!

Lol you know I'd look cute! hahahaha according to the dealers they should be working on my car today (although was a bit disconcerted when they mentioned the fact it was black - I didn't bother correcting them so I hope it's my car anyway!). :eek: Hopefully I shall be driving myself to the meet! :p

Doolallygirl
03-16-2009, 12:30 PM
Yay :) will be driving myself and hopefully my other half to this now I've got my baby back!! :p wootwoot!!

I'm glad you got your car back DLG. Sadly I won't be able to come because of problems I'm having at home. I hope you all have a good time though :)

Everyone who doesn't know how to lube up, get some, bring it and i'll show you!

I could be tempted with 'dubs in the park'. A short blast (140 miles) along the M4 for me, and would be nice to get a gaggle of EOS for a photo shoot.

CIB
03-16-2009, 07:22 PM
IF I have my Eos by then I shall be there - maybe its first 'outing'.

Blokey is being a miserable bugger and won't be joining me on the Dubz meet - chances are I won't find my way - being female and not capable of going up the road without getting lost - but I will give it a bloody good go!!

A friend of mine, a newly single independant woman, found it difficult to drive places as her partner used to do all the driving. Then she found love with some bloke call Tom (or was it TomTom). Now he directs her with his Irish lilt and now she truely is independant.....

Hmm not too serious only me and Mathew breaking up so I'm in a bit of a mess at the moment. I need to sort myself out but it's not easy.

I don't have a built-in one either (way, way too expensive) but Halfords were doing a great offer before Christmas so I finally relented and got a Navigon for £65. It is absolutely brilliant. Best toy ever!

My friends have them and they just irritate the crap out of me! lol :rolleyes: no pleasing some people I guess! It's the contrite voice they use to tell me where to go! I'm the kinda gal who wouldn't think twice about telling my satnav where to go before promptly disposing of it through the nearest open window! :D

They have a button to disable the irritating voice.
I ought to have my wife fitted with one of those...

I bought the MFD2 on eBay... Cost about £400... Fitted myself (easy peasy), so have factory sat nav for a third of the price! :)

I have sat-nav but you won't hear that in your car!

Doesn't sound like such a bad idea - I will see if I can cajole Gary to come - if not I will Facebook you before and we can arrange a meeting place! Cheers ears! :p :D

I think I've missed something here. I've trawled back through this thread but can't find a date for the "Meet." Can someone oblige with this - although its a bit of a trek from Devon I'd like to try & make it.
I'm going to Volksworld on the 29th March at Sandown Park. Anyone else going?

Yes indeedy! :rolleyes: Got a feeling you have some legal issues right?! ;)

You can mail me on vw525@hotmail.com if you need anything and I will help to the best of my ability! (although legal advice is very loosely based on what I've picked up along the way rather than by the book!) :D

Pay?? How much?? There's nothing on their website about charges.

Lucari
03-27-2009, 07:53 PM
I don't remember paying last year but I did go on foot. If we want to all be in the same area, then it would be worthwhile meeting up before as they park you as you arrive.

cambourne7

Hi

I dont think you have to pay, but i think they need to have an idea of numbers so they can allocate space.

No one has confirmed to me and the organiser is chasing me for numbers.

Its seems to have gone quiet from Cam. I've dropped an email to the organisers to see what needs to be done.

Lucari
05-02-2009, 08:03 AM
Just my luck. Wifey has informed me we are at a wedding on the 16th and staying over. I may be able to make it back but I may have to swap the car for the weekend if I need more passenger space. If I am 'sans-car', I'll walk over to say Hi.
