Octygone · 26-08-2006, 22:20

We went along at the last minute ...got stuck in traffic but Barney B and us arrived safely to find the cars all parked up but no one in sight.......found them all after a while ....Leon had an attack of the munchies and hunted down a BLT nearby

Had a good time..... nice weather and good company......pics are below and I will try and label them later...

No. 1 Will wanted more than ice cream
No.2 Ashton Court picnic
No.3 Line up
No4 and 5 Layby on the way to Chew Lakes...took Emily ages to get on top of the wall

I will post my pictures up when I get the chance

barney_b · 27-08-2006, 00:10

Good pics, cheers for waiting for me at the services!!

Cheers to the guys and gals for letting me have a spin in your respective vehicles!

Today I learnt that a remapped furby vRS is insane and huge fun to drive, I think I'd lose my licence very quickly if I had one!

As for the Octy vRS it was very impressive and I want one!!!!!

The Skoda dealer invasion was a great idea!

Great day out and it was nice to meet you all (including Princess, surely the fastest dog in the West???)!

Ps. I knew I'd end up wanting to spend more money on my car after this meet!!! Arghh! No jokes about investing in launch control please!!!

Great day - great company - thanks for organising - dealership visit was great thanks to Clist and Rattle seem a very worthy dealership the welcome was appreciated and I am sure its why the locals all seem to buy Skoda's we saw so many driving past the dealers whilst we were there.

or what he's trying to say (unofficially of course) is that bascially there is **** all difference in perforamance but techniacally the vrs is faster!

I haven`t been to Ashton court for years, me and the misses used to go to the music festival there for a few years, but not since having kids.
Is the music festival still on.

barney_b · 27-08-2006, 10:48

Tom,

I see you weren't joking about your signature!!!

It's been an expensive trip I'm enquiring about an ARB and 312 brakes!

Leon...Where are they arty pics of yours????
