**MK5 GOLF GTI FORUM MEET** SANTA POD

[Teutonic_Tamer]

If I bring a spade, we could dig our own bog trenches! 

I hope you can build a good dam too - when 'urgency' calls, I've got more force than a Barnes Wallace implement being released from the underbelly of a Lanc!    

Around 9-10am arrival. But some may be arriving after 11am.

Uh - OK.  So quite a relaxed agenda.  

Without wanting to read through all 20 pages (it's Strictly time) - do I need to aim for any particular car park?

I've made adjustments to the Revo settings (B7T5F9) but haven't had a chance to test it out properly (too much traffic earlier on). So hopefully will be able to trial it properly tomorrow.

Have fun!

Serious question - are there plenty of bogs near to where you are all 'assembling'?

And what time are you all getting there?

 

It's not funny - I can beat Usain Bolt over 50yards!

Have fun everyone, gutted that i cant attend

Plenty vids and Pics please

I'll leave pic taking duties to Hedge. I can't be bothered wiv taking my camera.

Will be there for mid day i think. in time for a nice pukka pie and chips to warm me up! It will be bloody freezing.

As Lee says Bog are there but aren't the best! 

Bag of sand and tub of industrial strength wet-wipes in the boot then!

Aiming to be there between 9-9:30 

Ho kay - if all's well - I'll try and hit that time too.

[cmdrfire]

Reckon I'll be there for half-ten.

Stealth - did you get your clutch bled?  If not, I can bring my bleed kit & fluid and do it for you in the car park (if I make it).  I think the bleed nipple is 9mm - if anyone can check that - it'd be a help.

Then we need to set off earlier!

[stealthwolf]

Stealth - did you get your clutch bled?

No - I was planning on doing it with the 3rd service on T&D in two months' time. Can it not be done as part of the brake fluid change? If not, I'm very happy for you to have a bash at it!

cant blooody wait now, not bothered cleaning the car for a few days, no point, ive got to drive about 200 miles there anyways!!

Just a reminder: try and bring cameras/video cameras and make sure they're charged.

I would really love our own version of this:

Routine clutch fluid change isn't part of the service, nor the brake fluid change.  The stealer would probably only do it if you lined their pockets with an extra £30 or so.

[stealthwolf]

I think as we discussed, I was going to get them to change the brake fluid too - on the phone, they'd offered it as an extra at the time of the 2nd year T&D servicing but when I took the car in, I was told I didn't need it and they cancelled it! Otherwise it would have been done.

Cash isn't the problem. Getting the job adequately done is. Just figured it'd be easier to get it done all at the same time (service + brake fluid + clutch). Like I said, I'm happy for you to do it too.

One request: could you bring some of that grease to put on the engine cover mounts? The thing's a pig to remove.

Weather has been intermittent here near santa pod.
Sunny intervals with the odd bit of rain.

Forecast looks promising for tomorrow, sunny all day.

Which is good
 news seeing as the strip takes 3hrs to dry!
