Ultimate Dubs 2010 Pictures and Review
Well I’ve been going to Ultimate Dubs since it started, I’ve been every year and had a car on a club stand or in the show and shine every year. I even won best MK5 Golf in 2007. But this year wasn’t to be, we submitted photos of Marks Passat but they were pictures before it got the leather interior and Carlsson alloys but it wasn’t deemed good enough?
Anyway it was good to catch up with the usual suspects and meet an make some new friends. We also got to catch Dav of PureKLAS and meet his brother both top guys! The atmospher was spot on nice and relaxing social evening saturday night catching up and talking dubs, ideas and plans! Also just before leaving finally put a face to the queen of Twitter Veedubhev 
promice i’ll put more shots of work in progress on the Polo.
Right the cars at the show. The cars were impressive as in previous years the ones that stood out for me were Greg Howell’s MK1 Golf with a MK4 TDI engine the finish looked factory. G Werks MK4 looked spot on on the rotiform wheels, Had a chat with Lomax about his MK5 now riding on air and in a US spec it look the business as usual. Team Wackeldackel’s cars were also rocking it for me!
Anyway here’s my pics sorry for the first few flash was crap in the halls see what you think of the cars there for yourself!

Productive Day for the MK1 Polo project
Had a good chat with Greg Howell at Southam Bodies today. He gave me some real good advice regarding the welding we need done. He’s also going to come over to see the Polo once we have finished the prep work and quote us on the full respray.
Also spoke to a polishing company in Yoxal Staffordshire about polishing the wheels we’ve brought for the Polo I’m not saying what they are but there going to look very special!
Finally I’ve been chatting to Simon Jackson editor of Retro Cars and fellow MK1 Polo owner. He’s lowered his Polo on coilovers and transplanted a 1.3 engine with bike carbs, something I’d like to do to ours at a later stage. Its good to be able to speak to people going through the same problems.
