This is normally a 1.5 day event.
Meet at lunch Sat 2nd August - usually at the Ladybower inn http://www.ladybower-inn.co.uk/(post code for satnav S33 0AX)
Then a jaunt through the peak district (Castleton, Hope, Buxton, Glossop area) for a couple of hours... then a beer, another few hours before camping out Bakewell way. A few beers, some good pub grub and a right good laugh
Then up early on the Sunday 3rd August to get to Tatton Park - www.vwnw.co.uk for the show and a club stand. Its a pretty light hearted air/water cooled mix and if you go on the club stand you only pay an entrance fee for the show (free parking not about £4 a car!)
Please do come along even if not in a g... its a good chance to meet people!
So pop your names down for
1. Rally - Sat 2nd August
2. Camping - Sat 2nd August pm
3. Club Stand - Sun 3rd August.
Club stand preference will be given for those people camping out (as they'll get there earliest on the Sunday!) and I'll be seeking camping deposits from people in June to sort out the men from the boys!
Any questions? let me know.

Lol!
-
Hmmm will have to see if the mrs will let me out for this
Might have one of the 3 G's built by then, failing that, is it ok to turn up in the dad mobile/daily?
-
I'll be there in the daily mate - last time I did it I went ahead and filmed Polos coming past, was good fun :)
-
Only thing is, with your new daily it's more likely to be you going past the Polos.
-
What's the new daily then?
-
His new daily is an animal, FB video shows all haha

It can't be any worse than when we held the first one. Rained all day on the Saturday and it was freezing! Still, it was a good day.

Cracks me up every time
The lyrics are just class!!
-
Any news on the camping deposit?
-
I'm coming to all of this now. I'll be in my Seat though, polo still doesn't have an engine in it.
-
Campsite booked.
I need a deposit of £10 paypal gift which will help me confirm definate numbers for both tents and the size of table for food in the pub. Pm me for details if needed
-
I take it we bring our own tents etc?
-
Sent you deposit ;)
-
yeah, bring yr own tents! unless you know someone else coming with one!
-
Sod's law had caught me out on this one. Typical as I was the one pedalling the idea!
Been in the process of buying a house for several months now - I can't believe how long this shit takes. Was supposed to be completed at the end of June. Due to NatWest's incompetence it's now set for moving in on this weekend.
I'm gutted. The girlfriend won't approve of me jumping ship to go on a jolly, plus I'm pretty penniless!
I hope you guys have a good run, was really looking forward to driving the route and meeting up for a blast with a bunch of other Gee's. The noise of a multitude of G40's must be pretty awesome!
Get loads of photos to make me jealous!
-
Sent you deposit ;)
James, I'll bring your headbolts, want to meet somewhere and cruise on up together?
-
Yeah can do mate. Will look on a route and meet up.
-
I've had a look and without too much of a diversion i can meet on the m1 just before nottingham. Otherwise its a 45 min diversion to go up the a303 to meet you along there. Depends what time your planning on leaving as its 4 hours for me.
Is there anyone else coming from the south west area?
-
Who do I send payment too for tickets ect?
Cheers
Dan
-
Need to send the 10ner to Pete dude!
-
Anyone going to this that's got a random spare passenger seat they'd flog for cheap?
-
I'll have a look in the shed Andy
-
Cheers dude! One out of a CL or something is fine, doesn't have to be G40/GT style.
-
Further details on meet??
-
I'm bringing the mrs :-) any body else?
-
If everyone can get to the Ladybower Inn between 12:30 and 1 and we'll aim to set off shortly after that. Normally we have a bite to eat before we set off as the food there is nice.
If anyone hasn't got Petes or my numbers please drop me a PM.
Details are on the website but the postcode is S33 0AX. http://www.ladybower-inn.co.uk (http://www.ladybower-inn.co.uk)
Sam
-
So if we are to grab a bite to eat do we need to get there for 11.30/12?
-
Yeah Martin I guess so, I'm well up for some grub
-
I'm going try get there for just before 12 if I don't get lost as usual. Having tyres fitted to the new wheels Saturday morning which might delay me a bit but I'm in for some grub
-
Dont worry we'll not leave without anyone. If you make sure you've got mine or Pete's numbers then you can let us know if you are going to be really late.
-
Hoping to there for 12 got a few bits to do Friday night sat morning to the old girl no time before got work late all week :-( I've had to get my mum to pick some bits up from vw today lol looking foreword to meet ;-)
Ben
-
I'm bringing the mrs :-) any body else?
I'm bringing Yoof. We could do swaps?
-

Probably best if I don't 'have relations' with Ben in front of the future brother-in-law, he gets terribly jealous.
-
Haha lol ^^^
-
Are we setting up camp before the drive around or doing that when we done out and about ? Thanks guys
-
The latter...
We have two Turbo'd G40s a Skyline and a Seat ready to go...
-
skyline....mmmm
-
im setting off at half 11 hang fire for me..im kinda slow
-
Turn right after the huge bridge lads. Not towards the snake.
-
Waiting for the AA, d'oh! Snapped an engine mount.
-
Its sad you and Pete couldnt make it Andy, I hope the bready is all fixed up!
Had an awesome weekend though, highlight was the old couple Pete n Sam bickering and getting stressed up over nothing at the pub hahah. Fast Road driving chasing Sam was fun too and Andy in the GTR :)
-
Shame we missed it! Hope everyone had fun.
Got AA'd back to Yoof's and fitted a replacement mount before driving home from there, so the car's back on the road already. AA bloke was well sound, took ages to load the car on to make sure it didn't get damaged.
-
Well what a great weekend that was. 9 hours driving there and back and covered around 600 miles! 372 miles to a tank with 3 litres still in there, bot too bad when we did 100 miles of driving through the district.
Got a few photos from the rally and have got about 45 mins of video's but they need editing. Once done i will upload the vids.

cracking weekend lads. Managed to not get too left behind in my Seat at least.
Need to get my polo back together now, missing it after the rally.
Thanks to all who turned up and to Sam & Pete for organising it all.
-
Yeah thanks guys great weekend glad the sun came out . nice to meet all of you got loads of ideas now , looking foreword to next year , hayesey didn't realise that was you ! Lol will know for next time haha it was weird knowing everybody by screen name , and knowing the roads Abit better will help next year ( I won't be bringing so much shit with me next year lol)
-
yeah we need t-shirts with our names on or something! I'm terrible at remembering people's names at the best of times.
I think we need printed off route-maps next year. We've had those in the past and less people seem to have got separated and ended up going the wrong way. But it all worked out OK in the end.
-
First one ive been to but will be doing it all again next year. loved the sound of toothies behind me also...got me thinking haha
-
Ben are you reffering to the "mrs" haha!
Cheers Pete and Sam for organising it, table booking was a smart idea!
Only thing that would have made it better is more cars in attendance, and if that bloody focus had gone quicker than 30 in a 50 zone!

Names on t shirts would be good screen name with real name above or below lol yeah me to I have to save name and numbers in my phone before I start to remember peoples names ( long I know )
Maps , great idea , with phone numbers on too maybe?
Etches lmao I wasn't no but I don't think she'll be coming to the next one
-
I thought this turned out awesome, at first on the way there with the heavy rain I was a bit >:( but the rally turned out immense, was sweet seeing so many other G's on the road in one place. Good to meet some new people too.
Certainly up for it next year and I'll prepare much better for the camping as that made me really tired for Sunday but Tatton was still a good show.
Thanks to all the guys for arranging it and cheers Martin and Tom for pushing my car around haha.
-
Again as said by others cheers to Pete and Sam for putting it on.
Really enjoyed it and met some great guys.
Will it be the same time next year?
-
to be fair, you'll not get much more of a turnout to a G40 rally in the north of england than that. Not like these cars are all over the place and many southerners wont travel (I know some will obviously!).
We've had printed maps with contact numbers on in the past. A consideration for next year I think.
Names on t shirts would be good screen name with real name above or below lol yeah me to I have to save name and numbers in my phone before I start to remember peoples names ( long I know )
except that we'd look like a right bunch of gimps (even more so) :)
-
I only got 2 photos the whole weekend haha, lazy
I wish I had a gopro really.

Think I was the only one from down south that went.

Hi guys, Need to apologies for not making it to this! unfortunately I didn't manage to get the G running due to a rogue oil feed pipe which was a wee bit too big and ended up popping the oil seal on the main shaft pulley side. :-( totally gutted as was looking forward to getting to a meet!
