I dunno if too many people on here know about this meet... :confused: :confused: :confused:

I raised it on the golfgti forum a few times, and always get a half-hearted response too  :sad: :sad:

Normally the turnout is pretty good. 

It attracts all types of VAG cars. Mostly though there are MK1, MK2 Golfs, Corrados, MK2, MK3 Polos, few Camper Vans, VW Beetles...

There is normally only two other MK5's including mine, so it is screaming for more MK5's to attend....hint hint!

When the weather is good, i must admit that the quality and presentation of some of the cars is second-to-none..! Some really nice, and very well kept examples that quite obviously only see the light of day in the Summer months!

Worth a go, but perhaps this Wednesday will be a little too cold....

I went once or twice. There were so many people at Fleet services that normal customers couldn't use them. Eventually the Police were called and we were all moved on. I believe it has been held at various places since. Savacentre in Reading, Ladymead in Guildford and Chieveley services. Not sure where it is now though but looking at there website they have gone back to Fleet.

Yeah back in Fleet now. Apparently in the Summer it gets so busy there that people were queueing up the motorway slip road to get in.

Always struck me as a stupid place to hold a meet - as you say, it gets so busy that people who really need to use the services can't make use of it. It only moved back to Fleet a couple months ago, because they deemed that Ladymead Guildford was getting too small to accomodate them...............hmmmm i tend to disagree. The place is huge, especially now that they allow cars to park round the back of Halfords! Perfect place to have it because all the shops were closed, and it was not disrupting the public at all!

Oh well!

I don't think I'll go back until the warmer months - when I know that there will be some stunning cars to look at. Until then, there will mostly be older VW's that have either been chavved up or are just nothing special..

Fleet is little more than a stones throw from me so I am easily persuaded. :wink:
