GTi International 2011 - Meet Report
Another report from your romping reporter . . . .
 3 of us arrived at the premier inn rugby on Saturday evening - AdrianE Ctl Architex mA8tey ahead of the Sunday cruise to Bruntingthorpe proving ground. CtL and Architex mA8tey cruised up via oxfordshire after taking a look and a fettle with AM's arch liner which has been scrubbing tad due to lowered front suspension. . . ahem lol  Amar turned up bleary eyed in his steel box type car after being convinced to join us for the cruise to Bruntingthorpe and came along for the ride. The three of us cruised across to meet the others at the Pub in Bruntingthorpe just before we went in and we were joined by Goran, Notorius, DarrenJoe90 and Daviesbike, so 7 cars went into the show together. . . Daviesbike's quad exhaust system got some close inspection from the Librarian . . . .  Who looked pensive as he pondered the possible upgrades for the Murple Meople Eater. . . Various 8's were pointed down the drag strip . . . . oh and erm. . . . Guy got trashed by a BMW touring ahem ahem . . . .  and CtL had to pay a whole pound of his money to Darren - yet again!! A great time was had by all on a totally sweltering day and thanks again to all of you who could get to see us, and to Amar, Ben and MkOneMan for coming to say hello and get their fix of 8's! I could be persuaded to post a video of Guy's 8 being trounced by a BMW touring but im taking offers from either side lol Right then guys n gals - the next meet is the SW Regional meet in mid July in Bristol & Chepstow so get your names down now please and come along and say hi!!! Dont miss it - we are gonna cruise over the Severn Bridge to a drive-in movie .

looking like a great time was had guys, and the weather looks great too, unlike up here where it still feels a bit like February with lots of nice wind and rain
Guy's paint job is looking very nice, think we should see the video too just to be sure All the cars look very nice but I love that Avus Silver colour of Adrian's and its looking very clean too

Great to meet everyone over the weekend
really enjoyed it, as did my wife and sonHave a few pics, but they're nothing special - will try to upload them this evening when I get a chance. Would love to see the vid of mine running down the strip - Jane managed to get a pic of it just after launch and it looks pretty impressive with the back end dropped right down. Quite pleased with the times I set, considering the boot was about 3/4 full of baby junk and I had 2/3 of a tank of fuel in it! Traffic getting home was a nightmare and the sat-nav seemed to want to avoid all motorways - took us a very strange route which I eventually ignored to pick up the M1. Look forward to the next one, whenever I can make it Got in the A6 this morning and the heat from yesterday has turned a previously repaired chip/crack into a bloody great big crack going half way across the screen! Need to get on the phone to the insurance and get it booked in for replacement.

Sprint times can be found here:
http://www.theresults.co.uk/gti_inte...l_results.html Quite chuffed with mine! Looks like the times were all pretty close really. My 2nd run was 0-60 in 7.03 and 15.2 for the 1/4 mile. Think book time is 6.4 for 0-60, but I'm guessing that's with a perfect launch, minimal fuel, a test driver who doesn't care about the car and 100 octane fuel oh and an empty boot!Can't find Darren's times?
