Nice to meet you all and your cars

 

finished fitting my 'zorst at about 6:30 so missed this...*****, next time I guess

 

Ian , you missed a great night - some strippers turned up at the tea hut - and were doing free dances to keep warm - and a Brinks Matt truck, left its shutter open, and we all got a few Gold Bars - still theres alway next time

Seriously thou - good to meet you all - soz if I coughed all night.

Firstly apologies for those who had to wait for me on the dual carriage bit on the way to MacDs! Blame Eureka for holding me up at the hut - he was busy gassing on his FMIC!

It was great to meet you peeps last night. What a good night (apart from my frozen toes!) .

Clive - thanks for organising it . When's the next one m8?

Fatboy - Was really good of you to extend your stay to Macds - hope the "boss" didn't give you too much of a beating when you got home?

Sy - What a scoob you got m8!

Look forward to the next meet!..

JP

PS: Who was the chap who parked next to mine at MacDs on arrival - we spoke by I did not catch your name fella?

 

I'm in tatters... No, she was alright, but I'm sure it's been noted down

 

strippers...bugger

Best I didn't go, afetr a little shake down this morning the new back box is fouling the ARB so I needs to move the hangers

Ahh well, next time

 

Think that location would be fine in the summer when theres a bit more light, would be nice to have all of the road filled up with Subarus

Thanks Clive for arranging this meet even though my feet are still frozen

 

JP4 if your's was the, to die for, WR1 then it was I, but in my son's car. Mine is being modded as we speak. 330 here we come.

 

Fudge <- thinks Granby is correct. The location would be ideal to hold monthly meets throughout the summer & warmer months.
Plenty of room, food & drink at hand, tunnels nearby , strippers living close by and on route regarding Brinks Mat trucks .

SleeperSy.. whilst I was talking to you at Blackheath I thought you were sporting the new "Gucci Octane" aftershave.

Upon placing my head through the driver's window of your car at Macee D's
I now know different

 

Yes Clive when you got in my car with a lit 'roll up' I had visions a flame over like the xmas tree in the Chevy Chase movie

Heres more details of my car if you want to take a butchers

Speak soon


Sy

 

Yep, sure was me - think you guys were behind me in the tunnel?? Hope I didn't make too much noise!

 

Hope it's not the case of 3 strikes....and you're barred from going to future meets!

 

Nice one. I'll have a read of that. Thanks.

It was a response to JP4's post

"Fatboy - Was really good of you to extend your stay to Macds - hope the "boss" didn't give you too much of a beating when you got home?"


I was only supposed to be out for 15 minutes, so I as I was leaving I mentioned to JP4 that I was off to give my other half a good listening to (she's a lawyer so I don't win many arguments...)

 

Lol .... oh dear, your brave marrying a lawyer

 

Lawyer ...that's good to have on board. All we need now is an Accountant!

FB - my m8's married to a lawyer...trust me she always has the last say!

 

Steven Darley (P20SPD) is an accountant - I've got his old dccd box in my car- and is also a reasonably regular Blackheath visitor, so he sort of qualifies, doesn't he?

JP4 - I don't need to trust you; I know from painful first hand experience...

It's just like I said in my wedding speech - " She explained how a partnership worked to me at an early stage - her house, her garden / my mortgage..."

 

 

Or put it another way atleast she avoided saying....."your money is my money....and my money is my money!"

 

Oh she'd never mention anything as vulgar as money - her comments are pretty subtle; you only realise your legs have been cut off about 10 minutes after she says something (well, maybe brighter people would get it quicker than me...)

 

......remember Lawyers charges by the minute unlike the cheap Accountants!

 

Sounds a bit like Foskers, the Ferrari guys at Brands Hatch, who itemise there bills by the minute. I kid you not.

 

Well ,that's decided that then - I won't be taking my Ferrari there after all

Mind you, 1hr and 5 minutes might be better than "1 hour and 5.... hmmm, best call that 2 hours then" approach that some garages (allegedly) take.

 

Talking of garages & rates, I bought my wife an Audi TT 3.2 Quattro convertable. Sun was out & she decided to down the electric roof, forgetting she had a couple of sainsburys carrier bags on the back seat.
She heard an almighty smash and the rear window (which is part of the soft top), smashed.
Phoned Audi dealership to inquire about a new one and this is what they said.

"We have only fitted one before and it took our fitter 15 hours to complete".

I then asked how much for a new soft top and hourly rate. They replied

"£ 800.00 for the soft top and £ 120.00 per hour" !!

Roger Clark Motorsport's reputation is second to none. They charge £ 45.00 per hour ??

Are they too cheap, or is Audi taking the p**s !

 

2.5K to fix the rear window?! def taking the p1ss!

 

The final bill from Audi inc vat and fixings was £ 2,970.00.

 

ridiculous, I don't care how hard the job might be. You could probably buy the same car albeit older model for the same price these days

 

I need to think about changing careers! That is outrageous!

 

Have just applied for a job with Audi Definitely the way to go i say.
