We will have to think of some stories to tell of your antics when out on your own

At last!!!

I'm sure you've got it covered but as the list is quite long at the moment, have they been made aware of such large numbers of the so called 'Skoda Geek Club'?

Basil · 10-08-2007, 07:16

Dunno if it's a good idea to have all these SWMBO's along. They may decide to sit in one group and discuss what we've been spending on mods and certain, ahem, financial irregularities may come to light!!

Looking fwd to seeing you all big-time!!! (and I do hope that SWMBO can be persuaded to come kicking and screaming as well....)

Cheers
Bas

We managet to squeeze 26 cases into the car coming back from France at the end of our holiday last week, shall I bring a couple just in case

Makefish · 10-08-2007, 20:21

Just spoken to the pub to let them know we were coming and they were a little taken aback by the numbers that were looking to come a long (I think they did'nt believe that there could be such a following for the marque!

)

The manager could only offer exclusivity on the area we had before, the far right hand corner, however there is a patio area right outside which will be opened up to us so should include everyone (weather depending)

This looks as if this could be one helluva gathering and really looking forward to seeing you all

**VRStu** · 10-08-2007, 20:40

Certainly gonna be a que for the food tables!!

Makefish · 10-08-2007, 21:02

Leeboy · 12-08-2007, 22:46

Something freaky is going on here. This meet is on my birthday (missus taking me out - I hope?) and then I see the date for the next Newbury meet has been posted on the day of our wedding!!!! You could all come and gate crash it down in Stokes Bay Gopsort. Skoda will be the offical wedding car complete with ribbons and all!!!!

**VRStu** · 12-08-2007, 23:07

You could have a Skoda convoy Lee.

WW_VRS · 12-08-2007, 23:17
