Ahhh, that's good news dude. Would obviously be better if you were in the motor but still good for you to get down here! You planning on doing the whole weekend mate or just a day thing? Camping and beers sound like a plan to me!;)

Ha ha! I bet that sounds like a plan to you ;).

Just need to wait and see at the moment - think it is Sunday only. Never been there before so not sure what its all about. I am also not sure if Dan is taking the Lupo or the Leon at the moment. I would love to take Bess down for a blast and see if she can blast in to the 12's there but in all honesty, I hate long drives on the motorway.

I don't know what your getting at big man, are you insinuating that I like a booze or two!?;)

I do know what you mean about the motorway drives mate, I hate them too but have got very good at autopiloting the Motorways now!:)

Either way dude it will be great for you to get down here and I'm sure we'll have a good crack anyway. You never know, you could always pilot my motor down the strip if you feel like your having withdrawal symptoms whilst your there!:D

Lincoln Volkswagen Specialists mate. Their launching the tuning side of the business in a couple of weeks so have been stickering up some customers/friends cars and using them for advertising and photos for the new website! Plus it got some funny looks on the road trip to Crail!:D

I know mate ;)

Was wondering if was LVS where you was booked in, you spoke highly of them when we met :thumbup: \/ \/


Booked my car in today to have an Oil change, engine flush and Cam Follower change. A little treat for her after my trip to Crail!:)

Also been pricing up some new suspension mods so watch this space!;)

Just finished cleaning the car from top to bottom, inside and out. Real pain in the ass this hosepipe ban though.
Just booked my car in to have some more handling mods fitted, looking forward to getting these done before heading down to GTI International next month.:D

What r ya getting done? Mines in for a front ARB tomorra
Already done a fair bit to the handling but now I'm having some Coilovers fitted and getting the whole car Polybushed front to rear with 4 wheel alignment and a very track orientated geometry setup applied to the car. It's having the same geo setup applied as my mates race car (with the same chassis) which is like glue on the track! Looking forward to it now. Hope you like the arb mate, found mine really stiffened the car up, was very happy with them!:D

sounds like you're getting quite a bit done, what sort of coilies are you going for?

I'd be intrested to know how you get on with the polybushes, I've nealy done 110k miles in mine now and some of its sharpness has gone and I think its down to the bushes. I've read a few reviews over on Mk5golfgti.co.uk and they're all real positive, would be nice to know how it feels on a leon

I'm going for the Bilsteins mate, think they are the B16's.

I'm really looking forward to how the polybushing makes the car feel too, its only done 30k but feels much looser that TFSI_Mike's after he's had his done. Got a bit of the green eyed monster so gotta get it done now!;)

B16s, very nice bit of kit. I look forward to hearing how it all makes the motor feel
