Gambit

I think what makes it worse for the people they leave behind the helplessness. I've always tried to be there for people I know, I've been at a very low point myself as I'm sure we all have. A friend of mine I've known all my life close family friend right back to my grandmother anyway. But his missus died someone I went to school with of cancer just aged 31. He hit rock bottom I spent a lot of time with him after. Her dad didn't make his life easy by any means either, but long story. But many nights of drinking followed, I got sick of the amount we was drinking. But he would wake up drinking vodka straight from a bottle he was that low. Started talking about doing himself in. Lost his business ended up moving in with his mum story goes on. But many more times of drinking, He actually turned round to me and thanked me. He actually said if it hadn't been for me he would have done himself in leaving his daughter who was 8 at the time, I sort of felt proud but realised I was learning to cope with my own grief to. Strangely I've never spoken about this until now. But I do hope that I say men but appreciate women may feel the same but less than men, start to find it easier to talk about. I Know for many weeks when I was low though not to do with money or anything just a build up of everything, just hated life the loneliness that follows is one hell of a dark place I wouldn't want to return to.

Nice went to Goodwood Festival Of Speed few years back enjoyed it took me a bit longer getting there than I would have liked was just under 6 hours long ass day that was @Consti Just getting numbers mate but so far have enough to book a stand so think be looking at getting payments soon. @GeoffLeggy Thanks mate but as always without the commitment from all you guys making the forum what it is along with the event's I think the Legends are all you lot

When me and Alex was going to Japshow finale last year had a skyline behind me didn't want to race though strangely just kept behind me but was nice all of us rolling down the road 2 skylines and two scoobs. I know Boots says it's a really good event over 5 hours away for me

Stants always goes on Holiday I reckon he looks at the event dates to see when the cheapest deals are on ;)

Formula 1 plans to remove restrictions on engine development for 2017. The move, which has been agreed by the teams but still needs to be officially ratified, will mean the end of the complicated 'token' system. Mercedes has dominated F1 since the introduction of turbo hybrid engines in 2014, winning the drivers' and constructors' championships for the past two seasons. The hope is that freeing up development will allow rivals to catch up. The 'token' system, which limited what can be done to engines and when, aimed to keep costs under control. But senior figures feel it has introduced unnecessary complexity and restricted the ability of manufacturers to improve their engines. How did the token system work? When turbo hybrid engines were introduced, in-season development was banned altogether, and the changes that manufacturers were allowed to make over each winter were increasingly limited as the years went by. Engines were divided up into 66 parts, with each part ascribed up to three tokens, depending on their influence on the performance of the engine. Companies were given up to 32 tokens to develop their engines in 2015. The original plan was for that number to drop to 25 for 2016 and to continue decreasing, down to three in 2019 and 2020. But now the whole system has been scrapped for 2017. Why has it been axed? The idea, from the same manufacturers who have now agreed to ditch it, attempted to prevent costs spiralling out of control. But it had a number of flaws: it meant any disadvantage an engine had at the start of a season was locked in for a year with no way of reducing it;the ever-tightening series of restrictions year-to-year risked locking in a permanent advantage for some and a permanent disadvantage for others;it made entering F1 less attractive to companies considering an entry, as they were controlled by the same restrictions at the same time as those who were already taking part, but without the benefit of the race experience accrued.Various attempts to undermine the system began as soon as it became clear Mercedes had a significant advantage in 2014.For 2015, restricted in-season development was permitted after Ferrari discovered a loophole in the regulations.A compromise was also agreed to ensure new entrant Honda was given time to develop its engine.So what now? For 2016, in-season development has again been allowed, while the number of tokens each manufacturer can use has been increased to 32.But then it will change for 2017.Drivers will still be limited to four engines per season.The one restriction on development will be that new parts can only be fitted when a team changes one of six elements that make up a car's power-unit.Those six elements are:the internal combustion engine;the turbo charger;the energy store;the control electronics;and the two motor generator units.

My thoughts exactly was hoping one of them might offer to book it but might be left to me yet. But I'll put it down as S.O.C/UkLegacy

@ScoobydoobydanNo worries mate will put it aside for ya bud.

Who's @Ash007ks anyone know who it is ?

Got first batch of tickets few days ago anyway

Letting members know we will be doing a joint stand with our friends over at Uklegacy for this one.

You're welcome

@martyc I know the pain mate not that easy to change

Nice one least it's done :D

I was available for the job and would have happily taken it. I'm also a self confessed car nut. But I agree terrible choice of all 3.

Well I see on Facebook you can buy a bonus ball even if you're not attending. And @stants it would be first thing I would do with the gopro on.

I'll just give Dom Toretto a ring and ask for you

As said above mate. A lot of us that go to shows use them when we're on the Club Stand it looks pretty good all the cars lined up with them on

should be done now

2nd Importcarparts Luke is a good lad to speak with if you ring up for anything.

Making me blush now

I'll take a look in a bit mate. Still learning to us the forum myself. You should be able to I think but if I can do it I will 😊
