VAG Tuner Live - Donington - 10th July

[Dave J]

Hi all,

Just posting this up as it seems to be a new event for 2016. Nothing to do with me, but could be a good day out.

I'll be going regardless - will be staying with a friend in Ashby, but would be great if some fellow mk5golfgti'ers can make it!

[GTI8v]

Same weekend as GTI international?

[Dave J]

So it is! Hadn't noticed that. Strange idea staging it the same weekend then...!

[Adam0604]

Yeah I'm going to be at GTi instead

Vag tuners.

[s3dubbin]

Why was vag tuner terrible??

Stevie.

[AJP]

Because everyone was at Inters?

Just a guess.

Whoever thought of doing them on the same weekend needs a rethink

[Tfsi_Mike]

Happens at every show lately, theres so much going on through the summer.  Was it last weekend or the weekend before. All types, Early Edition & the Vw thing at Pod all over the same weekend, I was at Uk Time attack at Oulton, there was loads of motorsports on too. 

Donny is closer to me so Ill give the Vag tuner thing a look.

[Adam0604]

Yeah that was weekend previous, both EE and Japfest on same day. Motorway was like drag wars after

Event was free last time but their was nothing but a hall half full of tuners was a couple of demo cars and rest of the hall just random cars. Traders were not selling anything really and idiots parked anywhere so had to wait over an hour for some chavs in a Clio who had parked in the entrance/exit   

[Dave J]

Well, in the end I decided to buy a pass for this day. I'm visiting a friend in Ashby on the Saturday, and as Donny is so close it won me over rather than Inters. Might regret it, but I think I'd rather see some track action. At least I'll get some exercise walking round the track if the paddocks and traders stands aren't up to much.

Donny has some good memories for me, so I hope it will be a tick in the box of getting on with things and enjoying car life without a dear friend who enjoyed the track too. Will look out for any members cars - almost wish I'd booked a track pass now!
