Tassie crew --> still on for Sunday?

[Valver.]

Weather permitting?? I've hardly driven the Mk1 at all so keen to see some of you again and go for a drive :) I have to work to 3am on Sunday morning but am still keen to get back out by 10am before the traffic and the grey brigade hit the streets!!!

Maybe head up the east coast?

[golf-kart]

Weather permitting... Up the East Coast sounds good or maybe down South to Kettering around the Coast then back up to Hooterville. Where & when do you guys wanna meet up? Salamanca @ 9:30am for 10:00 departure?

Im amped do the east coast! There is something magical about that part of tassie.

[mikinoz]

i still think that a drive to the strathgordon and dams would be nice, and great to take some pics up there!

I'm for Strathgordon - serenity, good roads + I havent been there for a while.

[Valver.]

9:30 for 10 sounds good ;)

I'm not too phased where we go... the main thing with going early this time of year is the dew on all the roads!!!

The drive to Eaglehawk Neck is pretty good, but last time I did that, despite the sun, most of the corners were soaked :(

How about we meet on the top level of Wrest Point c'park - really good for photos up there when there's no other cars.

[TassieGTi]

Sounds good :D I'll have to go cruising in the Audi so with the quattro system the dew is fine with me :D

Mk1 nearly ready......... only a couple of weeks away now :)

[Valver.]

Phoar!!! :D Maybe a cruise up Sth Hbt instead :p

[el_foolio]

The GTi is looking insane Mike :D:D:D

[Oneofthegreats]

Nice!!!!!

What power output are you chasing?

[PoloGTi]

hey all have to work damit have a few weeks on in sept 4th to the 18th will come say hi before you go but hope we can do something within those dates aswell see you there.

[TassieGTi]

Nice!!!!!

What power output are you chasing?

Nothing like the sort of output you are after, but with the FMI and exhaust it should be putting out 240bhp :D Will put up full spec when it's all finished!

Rob....plenty more opportunities to get out and about, especially with the warmer weather on the way!

[Oneofthegreats]

240hp is more than enough in a Mk1 & should also be very tractable.
It will also be bloody quick too!
I look forward to see the spec.
Very clean setup aswell. Well done.

[Valver.]

Just confirming the few takers are still keen? Ben's coming down too.

I may be running late, but will do my best to get there early :)

[PoloGTi]

Hey ill come down to say hi before work should be a good day for u guys.

[mikinoz]

Hey ill come down to say hi before work should be a good day for u guys.

same with me rob, i have to finish some things that are remaining from yesterday... n:

[PoloGTi]

so its 9.30 Salamanca ill be down there see you later.

[el_foolio]

How was it?

[TassieGTi]

It was a great morning. A little brisk, so we saved the run up the East Coast for later in the year. Pologti and Mickinoz lead the way through some tight, narrow and bumpy sections around the Collinsvale area! Paul fell in love with his Mk1 all over again :D Britchie made an appearance in his mint Mk1 GLS and Valver inspired us all with his stunning Mk1.....what a sweet car!!!

Thanks guys!!

[el_foolio]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Wish i could have been there! Good to see a Mk1 Majority ;)

[brackie]

Inspiring pics of some nice cars! Golf Kart...How could you bear to part with it???
East coast run will be on for me if it's later in the milking season. We have 2 employees now so I'll be able to get away. Driving the TDI I'll actually be able to keep up with (most) of you guys ;)

[Valver.]

Yep, it was a good day... smoother roads in order next time, though :j

[mikinoz]

sorry guys, my fault on the non mki friendly roads... interesting that paul had not problems though....

was good to see the mki's out and about, now to see mike out there also! ;)

[GoLfMan]

looks like a great day guys... awesome cars :D:D mint A4 Tassie, ive said it once i'll say it again you have good taste! ;)
mk1's looking hot, all of them.
Also a shmick Mk4 :)

[britchie]

fixed the suspension problem. golfwise gave me some lower stiff bump stops. the car was sitting on them the whole time. i raised it up as well, so the lower control arms were level. it looks a bit higher but handles brilliantly, just as well if not better than my old white car did. it only takes 30 minutes to wind it back down so it looks good....and any way, there are plenty of photos of it low now:)

i always new it was to low but couldn't bring myself to admit it.....

[gtimk5]

Told you 4 months ago!

[britchie]

yeah i know you told me gtimk5. i just couldnt be bothered fixing it. the car bottomed out so bad the other day on the drive that i couldnt deal with it any longer.....

i have your money too by the way. i'll get it too you asap

[Valver.]

Good news, Ben!! Now get that motor in before it goes to sleep :(

[TassieGTi]

Great stuff Britchie!! I agree with Valver.....get the motor in and with the brakes and suspension so well set-up you will enjoy it even more. Go the Tassie Mk1s :)

[britchie]

plans are afoot now. 2l going in soon. hey valver, the white car owner says the fuel pump was replaced. did you do that or did they. because i changed it twice. i had the tank cleaned properly cause there was grot in it, but it went fine after that. it may have been getting fuel starvation and over heating?? Just wondering cause the fuel system in the beige golf was going to be the same although i might try and get a full pressure swimmer pump so i dont have to run two of them..
