FOUND IT!! lol thanks simon

so whats the plans.,.,,. maybe:

Meet
Drive
Food
Eve Cruise Back

Brean! My brother and I used to do a great drive over the bridge into wales, upto monmouth then down through some great roads in a forest (can't remember the name) then to chepstow and back over the bridge. It is a bit of a trek but there is a good pub along the way

I suppose it depends on how far people want to go....

 Forest of Dean, Jimmy?

Anywhere! We should just meet somewhere and just drive! My amp might be able to turn off by then too without me having to disconect the power from the amp on the battery everytime im out the car!! Might even have a mod!

Pauls1820VTGolf:

 Forest of Dean, Jimmy?

That would be the obvious one. You go through Tintern and a couple of other places. Its a great road though!

Oh yeah and ben you better come to this one and not trade VW's for Suziki's or whatever they ride. Remember 4 wheels are better than 2!

Jazzle:

Remember 4 wheels are better than 2!

Depends really....

Anyway, a drive sounds good, by then I should've got rid of my rubbing issues over EVERY bump and ANY right hand turn taken at faster than 20mph

Jimmy Im claiming a spot in your car for this!

Unless I manage to sell my car and buy a golf before hand.

 Right well its a drive/cruise!! thats for sure    some may say its a mission
But after watching top gears test on the beach was inspired to look as see what the journey would be like,..,,.,,., (some shall say its a longer version of brean lol)

2hour drive for a 7mile stretch of beach.,,.mmmmmm o well just a thought...

If your coming down through South Wales you might get a few more people tagging along like me.

Me and my brother have done that Edd, in a mkV GTI. We then went north along the west coast and then into north Wales to do the mountain roads. Now that was a road trip!

 Jimmy what you recon? get some people from wales along as well?? sort of a mixed meet? head to the beach??

I might be up for this, depends when though. Can we actually drive on the beach? That would be cool....

AndrewV6:

Yup looks like it,. where some of the speed records have been set,, It looks like its a longer version of brean beach 5miles longer,.(not sure if you drive on all of it) but I guess one can!!.,

The big building on the left is a pub Edd. Me and my brother stopped there for 15mins. There was a great Corsa parked outside that had raided the halfords parts bin, I have a video somewhere.......We could do it, would be a mighty trek though, especially for those of us east and south of Bristol.

 yeah very true.,,. mmmm well maybe just wait to see what other ideas come to mind,.,

 I shall need donations to do that road trip!

 Any good spots or places you know of? or any destinations.,., lol or shall we just hit up brean then a pub evening??

Just went to move the car.,., HOLY HELL ITS 29.5c standing still

You were watching Top Gear when you posted this, weren't you..?

EDIT: It'd help if I read what you typed...

That's farrrrr...

 Yes chris yes I was.,,.
Some one else please throw in some Idea's we dont have long till the end of next month gotta make this 14pages LOL I joke,.,.

But I'm guessing the 28th? is the date it will be the last sunday??

 How about Lynmouth? Great driving roads across Exmoor, coastal views, not many speed cameras, plenty of pubs/chip shops/ice cream shops when you get there.

The last weekend of the month is GTI international. And I wont have a car from 17th - 22nd.

Golfedd:

34DegC standing in the sun after work today at about 6.30pm, went down to 26DegC by the time I got home.

If you look at Edd's map you can see the route I suggested. Go over the bridge and follow the M4, then go up the A449, then on the A40 to monmouth at which point you follow the red road down to Chepstow, a great road and many pubs along the way. Then back over the on the other bridge where we can all make our merry way back home.

 BUMP

I'm up for this, I should have my poor baby back by then too... the Merc is not as involved a drive as my solid Audi!

Depending on the distance, some of us may want to pair up?  I know the point is a car meet, but at 105p (and climbing) a litre for some of us, a 300mile round trip will be £30 without the food etc.  Just a suggestion.  Oh, and I'm pretty much free whenever.

Is anybody here actually going to GTI International?  Coz if not then it's not a problem.

 I was thinking about it but not sure,..,.,, money permitting., I have a stand place but the meets are always fun we need a more solid plan ben.,,,. time to start your organisation

I'm sorry, I can't organise it this month, my life is so busy at the moment that I'm worried I won't be able to sort it all out.   This car thing has come at just the wrong time too!  The best I can do is come along I'm afraid!

 Paaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

LOL
(then again I could try got summer off uni now!!.,haaha bloody students)

I'm not going to inters. Do I dare blag a spot in your Audi now Ben? Suppose it depends on the distance......

Someone can share my lovely DIESEL....you know good MPG

 depending on how far, id like to share please. i can see this being a diesel only meet - preferably with someone who has complete control of the car....i mention no names.

My diesel 'residue' edd will come in handy now then I hope that is no reference to me alex

If no ones actually going to take there car why don't we do a local drive in Wiltshire,Bristol or Somerset etc seems pointless going to far if there's only 3 cars full to the gunnells with peeps.
