Another one from north of the Watford Gap here, I'm in York.  Usually got to a few general GTGs (Harewood House, Edition 38, Squires Cafe etc.) but a diesel only one would be cool...
Cheers,

Tom

Simon Baxter, I live in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, well, I live in Holmfirth actually, home of "Last of the summer wine" sadly enough, yeah, that and "Where the heart is" oh, and some of League of gentlemen was filmed around here!

I have a MKI Caddy 1.6D, a 3B Passat TDI sport and a T3 Westfalia Atlantic 1.6TD, soon to be AAZ powered.

I Run a small garage in Huddersfield specialising in T3's mainly but I do a fair amount of other VW/Audi/Skoda work as well as the run of the mill normal cars that some people seem to want to drive.  :lol:

I would be up for a meet, maybe we should do it at a show at some point? I know I tend to go to more aircooled shows rather than the bit intimidating GTI type watercooled shows, I find them a bit, er, you know, a bit chavvy  :shock:


Me - www.sjbaxter.co.uk and www.brickwerks.co.uk

I also run this place - www.brick-yard.co.uk

Nice.

woah, jeez i posted this so long ago, I had pretty much given up on any replys! :lol:

it certainly is nice to see more brits on here

[HarryMann]

And me, down south of the Watford Gap, but not quite into the smoke itself, in fact the nice deer filled woods of West Herts... a bit of a T3 Syncro fanatic.
 
..and theres at least one more on here that hasn't found us yet. C'mon Bert.. catch up

[HarryMann]

Sometime in the spring would be good (although I'm getting Married in May, so not then please   ).  Give me the chance to get the new panel on as well to replace the rotten bits!  
How about somewhere about an hour North of London?  Try and get it a little more central to give more people the chance to attend?  I know a good pub in Eaton Socon by the river just off the A1

[Hillshy]

Hey all,

good idea tomb

i believe this is where you mean,

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=500000.562947551&Y=250000.92078152

i'm cool with that location, as its also near to santa pod raceway, maybe even do a vw dub show in the summer, santapod is my second home,

i'm with a vdub club that offically seised to be years ago but we all still meet at santpod twice ayear and the ace cafe monthly and we always have to largest pitch in club camping at santapod for bugjam, which really should change its name to busjam ar golfjam as its a mixture of all cool volkporn.

spring, in time to the longer evenings..
sound like a good plan!

[TomB]

Actually, I was thinking of this place:
The River Mill Tavern
However, either's good!  Anyplace with a good car park, and a nice atmosphere is good for me.
Need a new gearbox and a spot of welding though before I'm fit to go anywhere... :roll:  

[fpk]

Im in shropshire so could get most places within a couple of hours.
maybe if the pub would let us kip in the garden then wouldnt have to drive back if any one wanted a pint or three?
