I thought I'd turned up at the wrong show. So many cars missing. More atmosphere at a no-rice meet. If it wasn't for the strip I would have been totally bored. Weather must have something to do with it, but I've been going since it was at TRL and it was always busy even in wet weather. It's just...
In all my best efforts with regards to getting up early.........in reality I know I won't, so I think I'll park with the "peasants", but utilising my clever parking tactics that gets me to the head of the crowd which hasn't failed me yet.
Just got the car back and I've been running tests.
Looks like it the output stage that lives on the airbox, for the coils, thats gone. Hopefully a quick fix.
Nothing compared to your wiring fire!!
Is the car toast?
Well I'm going to rename GTI International as "GTI Eventfull" for me.
Excellent day (Sunday) but didn't get home until 01:15 Monday morning. Not by choice!
Fecking car broke down whilst on the M1 (bearing in mind I live near Brighton).
Just lost all power.
Anyways, cutting the long long...
I am so gutted I'm going to miss this. Been going for the last 7 odd years without fail.
It's going to be a much better show this year compared to the last few!

You guys have a cool time and don't forget the pics!

I've been wondering about that for a while.
Anyways, back to the thread.
Nice page that, with all the...
Mark, if you are looking at big turbo's make sure you look around. There are alot of kits available now from the likes of JBS, ATP Turbo (via uk suppier) etc.
Make sure you consider a Garrett GT before you take the plunge.
I hope GTi International does improve. I've been going religiously for the last 6 years or so. I'll probably end up going in the end.
I just hope its an improvement on this year!
GTI International is pants now. Too many politics and not enough show atmosphere. Just isn't the same as the old TRL days :-(
E38 on the other hand is class. Well recommended.
GTI festival is getting really good as well now.
I kinda feel sorry for the show in a way. They didn't have much luck with the weather this year.
They attempted to put right some of the wrongs from last year, one being the poor sprint view. You could easily see this year. Also the transport around the car park was helpful.
Unfortunately there...
