Title: Hello from Bristol
Post by: rhg on June 07, 2020, 07:03:07 PM
Hello
Its Richard from Bristol - just re-registered after finding the site had changed.

I have my 1991 8v 5 door silver GTi, which I've had four about 4 years - does me sterling service but only comes out on dry days!

I had Mk2s back in the day (1988- 1992) a 1988 F Reg CL and  a 1987 E Reg 16v GTi.


I'm currently looking for an unmolested Mk2 Golf van if anybody knows of one, having very nearly bought a brand new one in 1991 for my electrical business!

Hi Richard, thanks for signing up again :)

Bristol- when safe to do so we are going to start our Bristol meets :)

Mk2 van speak to Matthew Palmer at Mk2 Spares, I’m sure he had one for sale a while ago.

Enjoy the site and post away :)

Welcome, another Bristol resident here, and as Shelly says, the Bristol Meets will kick off again soon I'm sure. they're held first Friday of every month at the Toby Carvery (previously known as the Orchard) in Bradley Stoke.

haha, well it got to the point a few years back when we were getting big turn outs, and had a few idiots turn up doing burnouts and rev bombs etc... so we stopped pushing in on facebook. The result has been a core handful of mates that go to the pub once a month and occasionally someone new turns up. Not the meets they used to be, but perhaps that will build back up again.

I'm from the ever sunny weston-s-mare but just moved out of Bristol so will definitely be attending meets!
