As long as we got on with there admin/mods then thats the important thing as there is always a bad element in most clubs.....not seen it here tho' and id be first to say something if one of our members did anything like that. Might have to have a look on club polo and say hi to admin/mods Link to post Share on other sites

g40jon 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 hello vr6 owners club, i just want to point a few things out1st being that the persons who caused all this aggro, have long been known as trouble on the clubpolo forum and from memory got banned. Thing is, there is little to stop these idiots turning up at shows and causing trouble, especially if you have no idea what they look like, untill they turn up!I think its a little unfair to label us all as im-mature kids, with car inferiority complexes, as thats simply not the case.Granted clubpolo do have there fair share of morons, but i guess thats due to mk4 polos fitted with 1 litre engines being cheap to buy and mod.Im sure if a vr6 was cheap enough to buy and mod, that your club too would then have issues with childish prats.I'd also like to add that some of the vr6 owners did appear to somewhat look down their noses as they drove past, certianly didnt make me want come over and say hello, even though i also own a golf, I guess stereo-typing people cuts both ways. you guys have been type cast as grumpy old men by a few people, ive been cast as an im-mature teen, along with the rest of my fellow polo driving chums!(btw im 26, drive a polo g40, polo gt and mk3 golf cabby, i didnt play any loud music, was at the show for just the saturday (so missed all the fun)and left the field without revving the nuts off my car or leaving a trail of detritus behind me) Link to post Share on other sites

Hairyarse 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Well spoken up Jon, it's a fair point, no point labelling all from both sides - like we've all said it's the minority that always spoil it for the majority. That said, once people have arrived they can always be asked to leave!If you're sticking around, get some pics up of your MK3, may not be a VR but sure no one would mind having a look!CheersAndy Link to post Share on other sites

But the thing which really annoyed me was one of our members being called a "VR6 wa**er" If i was there id of deffinately of said something to the offending person as that sort of abuse is uncalled for and wont be tolerated by me.As has been said pop some pics of the cabby up Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I got abuse from several girls and boys (16/17) year olds that camped near our corner (the same ones that wiped sh*t all over the toilet handles and pi**ed all over the toilets on friday night), so I wasn't impressed.I wasn't upset at each of you, just the offending people. We aren't grumoy men and I'm sure 90% of the polo lot were not stupid teens, you say you're 26 and not a teen, I'm 23 and not an old man, but we know the difference between right/wrong and behaving properly. Us old men know that and as such, were labelled by the unruly idiots.We didn't generalise and include you all with the complaint, just the idiots.I had a good chat with some of you anyway and enjoyed it.Thanks for posting and thanks for giving us your views on the day(s) we were there.

g40jon 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 i can totally understand that you guys were pretty vexed at the behavior of some people, and tbh if i was in your situation i would have probably flipped my lid at the offenders. The reason that clubpolo were banned 2 years ago, was due to some donk who decided to go round robbing the ford focus owners club signage and shout abuse out through a megaphone. Sad really, as out of the 300 or so cars that were there, the club ended up banned cos of a couple of muppetsanyway, to lighten the mood, heres a pic of the cabby im fixing up for the mrsits the 2 litre 8v, so reasonably useable, well it will be once i get it running right Link to post Share on other sites

Its like people who get banned from driving, they often continue to drive regardless of the rules.

g40jon 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 ha, yeah! how did you guess! theres a whole list of things to sort though. the major one being the rear arch as its rotted along the lip under the trim Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Just had this on my cabby 2.0 8v and is quite common. You'll need to check and clean your throttle body. I used a tooth brush and carb cleaner and didn't take it off completely but just disconnected the inlet side. Also stripped and flushed the breather hose and cleaned through the breather filter and it ran like a dream.If you are grafting in a donor piece of metal from another arch lip, use a joggler to offset the edge to get the best finish and strong bond.

g40jon 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 done the t/b already. found a couple of split vacuum hoses, which i think have been the major cause of issues with it.thanks for the heads up though Link to post Share on other sites
