As a Polo git, I resemble that remark. I can only guess you mispelled GTI, Andrew ('cos there's at least 63 of us Polo gits on this forum if you didn't). :D

Hey Guy,

I booked in with SDT ages ago to do the trackday part, wasn't aware of your WaterCooled gathering until yesterday.

I'm a ClubAudi member, does that get me in your good books for some hotlaps in your Oettinger GTi & APR Polo? :D

Looking forward to seeing you guys out there.

Great day, even though we only did the track part of the day because it was to wet to do the other things, e.g. 1/8 mine runs..

Some Pictures of the day.

hey Thomas,

nice pics - shame it was too wet for the afternoon activities - but it sure was interesting driving the HP cars on Semi slicks (can you say aquaplane?) - Hopefully will get all Stuarts photo's in the next day or so :)

I felt the aquaplane when I went in the Golf with Joel for the first laps.

That was an interesting experience, but over all a good day.
Push the car nice and hard, and will just have to wait for the next time so we can the do reset of the day.
