(the goth) would have been nice to see a few more 6's but next year im sure now it has a name it will have.ill post a link so to pictures and stuffGaz Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Another weekend, another early start. If I had known that buying a VR6 would decimate my weekend lay-ins I wouldn't have bothered. ( Yeah right!).Tne 6:30 alarm call wouldn't have been too bad if I hadn't been up at 4 to watch the F1 qualifying. The drive to Skegness was straight forward but the casualty stats for the A52 are frighting; 6 deaths in Jan and another 10 in Feb. Fenners must use it like a local Nurburgring!It was a good show though. Very well attended, especially by air cooled. Some minters. Good to see 'Dusty' in good hands.Very windy all day but the cloud of the morning broke during he afternoon and I even managed to flaunt my polo shirt.The winner of top water cooled was very well deserved, a lovely sky blue Polo. Top air cooled, and also best in show, went to a shiny black bus. Not my choice, but then I'd voted before it turned up and I prefer hobbie shiny over professional shiny.It does make me feel more special when in amongst 2 car parks full of VWs only 5 where VR6s. To feel more special I'd have had to have had an original type 34 Kharmann.With a start like that it's going to monster in a year or two.My camera screwed up my pictures. All I've got are some of a chaved up Saxo I found as I wondered around Skeg :-(TG Link to post Share on other sites
