Thread will be locked pending big update and formal thread. We will be holding the event at RGS Motorsport, and the BEST weekend would be the 1st/2nd of June. We could have the rollers on the Saturday, and on Sunday there is a RWYB at SantaPod for anyone that wanted to stay on. The rollers are less than 10 minutes from the strip, giving more value to peoples travel. The week before there is the national drag championships across the weekend, but no user cars are possible. The most sensible weekend would be the 1st June, close enough to keep the May people happy too. The process is a lot more comprehensive on these rollers, with 15-20mins per car rather than the sling it on approach of other places - as recommended by Northampton motorsport our previous supplier.

Hello and welcome to the forum! Thank you for signing up to support us - something I hope we can do in return many times over. Looking forward to the starting of a project thread for your MK2!

Yup well up for this!

There are events all through, just gotta find a good date. Problem with PV weekend is that everywhere around there is usually heaving. Also, think there was a nice bit of buildup for it being the whole reason we are there! So what dates do we know about already in June?

Problem is that in May many people don't have their cavs back on the road again for the summer - June catches the daily drivers as well as the show-ers. List is growing nicely though. Think if we get 15-20 names we'll get it booked up that will determine the date.. but lets gun for 30! Let's make it an epoch for MK2CAV.COM to rival Euro 09 and the best of Billing.

It's far from a thrashing Dawn, it's a health check and the operator will only take it to revs that the owner is happy with. Even under load it's a fraction of a second and the whole thing is over. I'd seriously recommend it as a great opportunity for all, if you watch back the older vids you will see that peoples targets were generally, standard power, just 20-30 years later!

kewl, lets start a list then to get the ball rolling before a formal thread. I'm thinking June sometime, Northampton Motorsport - Ibis Wellingborough.

I raised this at the xmas meet. If we are going to do it, we do it large. Beat the 28 cars in convoy in 2009 stone cold and go for the big 30! Must be possible! No gauging about it - we should do one! ;D Collectively! 8)

Added the video to the event gallery (yes, I am slowly updating / creating the missing years too), the facebook page, and now here: [/html] Watch in HD!

See you all soon!

Buzzing about this now!

You know what to do!

Looks really clean! Interesting to hear more background on this one. I know it's widely accepted, but I think the grey unpainted griffins look more at home on the facelift cars these days than the red ones. Although it was a bit cheap of Vauxhall to do them in alloy alone back then! At least painting them yourself they didnt fade like the early grilles red paint did. It certainly stands out though, and would love to see one painted up in high shine Silver of some kind!

Two other members and an admin in contact this evening about coming along, so signs are good! ;D

Nice one! I'd imagine I'd be there for lunchtime, with a view to proper eat / drink in the PM? Let's get these numbers up ;D

Well I'm booked up. Record-breakingly early in proceedings too! ;D

Rooms are currently 36 quid for the weekend at present. Are people going to get booked up? Let's get these numbers up. ;D

Stopping over Sat night Matt O SRi & Zo Andy & Kat Teaser &.. Really looking forward to this. Have been thinking about a bunch of stuff to move the club forward, will be good time to chat and have a drink.. Going to move this into national events and will do a pm newsletter message to members about it in due course.

Welcome aboard! Looks like a great project. How does your numberplate system work? Is 72 "x" mean a year like ours did?

You should join up and start a proper project thread! I'll be in Greece in July - where are you based? For the exhaust most custom systems on 2.0 were 2" 1/4 so around 57mm but if you want more power in the longrun you could go to 60 and have adequate. (But turbo cars use up to around 77mm!)

Welcome to the community! Hope we can see you on-stand at Billing this year!

Dougie has set up a transport business - send him an email as I think he is doing runs to England and back.

Maybe, but we've seen plenty of MKII's Keebs, looking forward to seeing the pics. Esp in the sun while we have got it.
