I work with the chap who owns this Gulf racing mk5 golf. Been at him for 2 years to come to the show. He finally did and loved it.

This is why we don't have vanity plates in Ireland.

Good trolling for a tenner though, I'm just sorry I didn't think of it earlier today... :D

Don't apologise, it was a fair comment I reckon. It should be called a VAG show TBH, the classics were all out on the grass.

out to pasture :p

was sitting here thinking i should make an effort and head down some year .

Hope you all had a great day despite the weather. I pulled out last minute, I was busy with other stuff all week/weekend an didn't get time to get the Oval out an ready, but I was up at 7 ready to dig it out. Dan (Kyle's old bug) was ready too but when we heard KNK couldn't get his bug to hold a charge, or start, we both pulled out in sympathy an that was the end of our lowered convoy.....

Hard luck John, he busted his ass all weekend to get his car from a rolling shell to a runner only to be let down by a battery.

I thought Duts had sat the show out this year but when the little girl ran away from the costume crying I overheard her dad asking her what happened. Between the sobs the poor tyke uttered: "He told me to go an shite daddy. Sob sob. What does go an shite mean daddy? Sob sob. Why would he tell me to go an shite daddy?"

Na,I reckon the conversation went like this...

little girl"Daddy,why is that strange man taking pictures of me?"

Daddy:"Because he's a dirty baldy pervert,the kind we always warn you about"..

Dad to Trev:"Please sir,put your trousers back on,please"

top marks! You're the only one to notice that! I was scouring scrap yards on Friday looking for an oil cooler to hang from the front with two big oil hoses poking out through one of the dummy lamps in the grille. Do you think I could find one?

the rear wheels are Wolfrace Slotmags. 8Jx15 ET -20ish 4x100. I had a pair of G60s re-rimmed for the rear but couldn't get the narrower tyres in time for Sunday to get them under the arches. Despite the 4.56 degrees of camber on the rear the Slots with stretched tyres were the only ones I could actually use. They worked well though :)

Nice one, i think the diff wheels make it, you'll have to swap to a jap style plate now to make it more obvious so:p
