VAG Sunday Mini-meet

Well pretty much meeting with the new members this time. As for the warm greet, had a little photoshoot with them. Place taken was at Serasa Beach.

So yeah, I let the pictures do the talking now :)

















------
Presenting: The 3 out of the 5 Seats owners in VAG Club Brunei.











See you guys soon again!

Till next update! :)

New member notice

Three new members has just joined the club (Well for one - Mas Idayat, just to reintroduce since he just joined for the first time this time during VAG Mini-meets).

Mas (Sonic Blue 1M Seat Leon 1.6 SR):








'Hello thar!' - Mas's youngest son.

Front Custom Eyelids, Short Ram Intake, 18" Mille Miglia Evo 5 Wheels, Front Aero Wipers.

Well Mas, we've talked alot before but never met with your car and mine. Your project wishlist is very.. very good I must say. Can't wait for it to be done. A little quirks here and there and you're all set. Very nice ride!

------

Zudyn (Mk.4 Volkswagen Golf 1.6 SR):





Fully kitted, 17" Wheels, Kamei Front Eyelids, Chrome Fuel Cap, OEM Rear Hella Tail lights.

Apparently, his car has been in the garage for 3/4 months trying to sort out what's the problem of the car. According to him, the car couldn't be started at all.

Nolz helping out checking what could caused the problem.

Nolz: "First suspect, Fusebox ni.."


Nolz: "Nah nyang ku!"

His Alternator fuse broke, well.. there's pretty much no current flowing through with that 'bad' of a contact. Oh well Zudyn, $80 for a Brand New Fusebox and you're good to go rolling with your Golf again!


'VAG was here! .. XD'

------

And finally, a Seat Toledo owner with a custom bodykit.. "Hadi" (Adey)

Hadi (1M Seat Toledo 1.6 SR)





Fully customized bodykit (Using OEM Bumpers), 18" Chrome Wheels, Front Projectors Angel Eye Headlamps, Smoked Tail lights.
Hadi lives around Muara, so yeah you might pretty much see him rolling everytime around there. If you see a Toledo rolling on 18" Chrome Wheels, then that's him. :p

Other members checking out his ride:




The club appreciates your support people, and every little inch of help counts.

If this goes big, we'll be making a huge progress for waiting our local's very first: DUBFEST/Euromeet 2010.

Hope you'll enjoy your stay in the club with us, and will see you again in future VAG Meets!

Buckle up, and drive safe! :)
