Old Golf meet n greet in Canberra

[sports racer]

There are quite a few people rebuilding old Golfs (MK1 and MK2) in Canberra or Queanbeyan and it would be good to get together some time to compare notes.

I'd like to meet at someone's house/garage after work one night so we can all talk about what problems we're having or give tips to others.

Anyone interested?

Cheers

My MK2 is my daily so I can take it anywhere we meet. I can show you how well a Golf can take roundabouts if you want.

[Goon]

I can volenteer my shed, I'll just run it past the boss first but should be sweet. I'm in kambah, if that's suitable..

I do have a mk1 parts car siting here that I need to start stripping.

[Wollumnii]

I will drive down from Brisbane if we can get a set time and date?

[sports racer]

OK, we know who'll take out the farthest traveled award - for the year!

Would be a nice run in the MK2 but that's still a long way to go for a meet-n-greet. What days suit you?

[Mk1@4Motion]

Kambah sounds good... Just let me know when and where... I work down that area

I'll be up for a meet and yak.

Just can't do this coming Sunday and 10th of April (ages away but putting it in) other then that I think I'm all good.

I'm in the gathering stage, construction stage keeps being put back due to the wait on parts.

[sports racer]

OK, we've got enough people interested, now lets hassle Goon to get permission to use his place and set a time/date that suits us all.

I'll send him a PM.

Cheers

Paul

[Goon]

Just spoke to the commander, and she gave me the all clear! The shed is ours for the afternoon.

I am thinking a week day would be best for me, sometime after work say 5-6pm. How does this Thursday sound?

[sports racer]

I've got something on this Thursday and Friday. Any day next week is OK though.

[Goon]

I'm good with next week. What days are good for everyone?

[valgamesh]

Monday would be good for me, I have a feeling something is getting planned for one of the nights next week in my section

[sports racer]

Monday is good for me too.

[Goon]

GOOD! :)

Monday works perfectly for me too, lets hope this rain pisses off!

[sports racer]

PM sent to you guys with Goons address for a meet at his place on Monday around 6pm. Anyone else interested let me or Goon know so we can tell you where to go.

I'll have my MK2, might even clean it.

Cheers

Paul

[Goon]

Best wishes to yourself and the family...

ps. I should be able to drop around for about 10mins or so tomorrow night... Will be great to meet a few of you...

[Mk1@4Motion]

Hi guys,

Apologies for not being there tonight. As much as I wanted to go worked screwed me over. So I'll have to wait for the next round of meet and greet. Until then... I will keep the thread going and hopefully you will like what you see...

Ran late at my Brothers and unfortunately missed dropping in briefly on this one...

I will make an effort to keep an eye on this section to attend the next one...

Sorry guys.

[ffoff]

lol so did anyone go? I was still working so couldnt make it :/

[sports racer]

You three were the only ones who didn't turn up, the rest of us had a good time. We checked out Pilks's carby and he should be able to get his car running now. Nick hinted at the updates he's got planned for his MK2 - can't wait to see it progress. Goon showed us his spares MK1 and the A4 he's getting his 2.0T motor from. He also had everything setup to nickle plate the bolts he's using to put the MK1 back together with. I scored a pretty good headlight to replace the one I shattered the other day.

We all told great stories on what we've got planned and if half of them are true then there's going to be some sweet Golfs running around Canberra.

I ended up leaving before 8 which worked out well for me - got home not too late.

I'll organise another meet soon.

Cheers

Paul

[Goon]

Thanks for organising it Paul. Nice distraction and a good opportunity to have a laugh and meet you guys. Would love to host another meet anytime in the future. I'll organise some food and a couple of beers (soft drink for pilks:) for the next one! And hopefully even have my project back up in Canberra to show off!

Cheers

[ffoff]

There's a bunch of us going to Brodburger this Friday night at 7pm if anyone is interested.

[sports racer]

Out at Kingston? I might be able to make it.

[ffoff]

yep, right next to the glassworks there.

[sports racer]

See you there Josh.

Can you park the R32 well away from my car? I have standards to uphold. :cool:

[ffoff]

Hahahah luckily Brodburger carpark is about 5 times the size it needs to be lol. Hopefully this rain goes away otherwise I can't see much happening.

[golfmeup]

Man, if only Canberra was a days drive away! I'd be there for sure.
So cool to see some love for the old(er) golfs:appl:

Need something like this for us northern folks!

[sports racer]

Canberra is only a days drive. It'll just be a looooonnnnnng day.

C'mon, if I can drive from Townsville to Brisbane in a day in my MK1 (25 years ago) then you can drive down here. You need to do the drive anyway to pickup my RAs. :cool:

[passatstef]

[golfmeup]

Haha, it's not the drive I'm worried about,

Will let you know if I can get down ;)
