You have a point, I drive a Skoda Octavia vRS atm and whille its comfy and spirited for a diesel, I drove Colin/ScoobyGhost's classic at a meet a couple of weeks back and wow then I realised just how dull the experience is in the vw group cars. Experienced ford twice in the form of the focus's, just TDCi's, but not vauxhall so cannot comment.

Always been a focused on the handling and performance side of things. Taught my wife to drive in a MK2 Golf GTD which was a 1990 1.6 Turbo Diesel (with a tweaked fuel pump) stiffer suspension etc, nothing major just a great runner, sold it with 218k on the clock but a lot of fun for £700 at the time. Not into sump scraping, just why!?, but i think its a social conditioning type of thing, like those who see fords and vauxhall's through rose coloured glasses, I just don't get it. I'll look up those wheels, and give the members galleries a skim at some point for inspiration.

If you have more than one car and a Mrs then it helps...alot. Best multi-car quote so far, £508 for two cars with admiral (elephant, diamond, that other posh one, all the same group) 1x std Pug 107 (not mine). Mrs is 26, 6yrs ncb 1x Subaru Impreza STi 2004 with mods, air filter, exhaust, lowered, wheels, dashcam, engine power increase up to 25% extra power. I am 30, have 10yrs ncb, 13yrs driving. Current car is a Octavia vRS 170bhp. Oh and I live in the country which also helps. Pug group 3, Impreza group.....pheffffth something higher. Ironically it was the suspension that bumped it up, the rest was about a £20 increase!

Good evening all, First off this is my first post for any kind of proper discussion so bare with me, I'll head over to the welcome section next :) . I am from a VW background, my old man was vw too and well as you know its all about being low and slow euro style. Trying to get my head around what works with blobs, wheel wise. I have seen a lot of cars resting on Rota Drift / Grid is it? am aware the americans love the xxr's and i have to say I rather like the 527's... ....but...they are kinda common not that it stops me from short listing them, though reading other forums they come in for a lot of stick specifically quality. Latter teenage years I grew up around a P1, with its 18inch oz rims in that grey, which looked smart but a cant place my finger on it, not euro. VW was all about the dish so I suppose that's were the xxr 527's hold appeal as they concave - Chromium black of course. I respect you get what you pay for before someone says it :P. Was forever knocking dents out the Brock B5's as a teenager! What do you lot think, Jap cars UK styles?

To all who came, what an amazing evening, as a new member I thoroughly enjoyed myself. One of the most friendly, mature meets I have attended in a long time, the pub food was good to. I got about 81 pictures; a few I attach, but to view all my photos from the meet < Click Here > They are in a Microsoft OneDrive Album (paid so shouldn't get bandwidth limits), pictures are high res so be patient as they may load slowly. Taken on a Sony Z1 at 20.1 megapixel. Enjoy...

Hello all, I am new to this forum, just signed up to post in the hope of finding a local meet ahead of searching for a subaru - having been around and worked on a P1 since I was 15 on and off so kinda rusty so figure this is a good thing to do. I am near Ashford and used to attend the Seat Cupra / Skoda meets at the American Dinner many years ago, Dartford isn't to far though... Maybe one of you could let me know when/if the May meet is a green light, i'd like to bring the vrs up and if someone has a blobeye STI all the better.
