loads of wiring was cut in the bay and under the dash, dash ruined, screwdriver stabs in the door, few little knocks and bruises, tons of little niggly things rather than just being smacked up

hopefully able to show it off soon

Some people should just be shot, makes me sick to the core to think of that.

Mate if you want to come to a meet and your cars not finished there is a passenger seat free in mine

To what I can gather the forum needed a new lot of softwear and there was discussion as to if it was worth spending on a new forum. I think it was felt that most people were just using the facebook page, so they are just using that.
