G40 ownership is a small world. I remember your name from the old days, but I was running a GT then so I'm not one of the G40 old timers. Glad to hear you still own the car though, weren't you in the Polo Nation Club G40 rolling road day feature in PVW years back?

And Rich H, I've seen your car in the metal at a meet in Cardiff about six years ago back when Ade owned it.

Memories.......I'm one of the original members of Club G40! Jules, you still in Brackley? Can't believe you've still got the G, that was ages ago! I used to see you at the VW meets in Northampton now and again - even bought one of your 'Supercharged' stickers from you, I was in the red G40 - sold it to a lad called Paul from Derby (I think) and last I heard my car ended up in Jersey somewhere....

I was at the Queen Eleanor pub in Northampton on Sunday and saw a bit of a 'meet' going on and saw a G40 there so thought I'd get on here and see what's happening nowadays...saw your post and thought I'd register....

I still look back on the days of G40 ownership with fond memories, embarrassing other car drivers when I left them standing, Club G40 rolling road days etc, although I don't miss the constant worry of whether the charger is gonna blow up....
