Not planning to film as most of the driving will be at night. I'll probably do a couple of laps while I'm there, but that's not the reason for going... It's an end-of-season p*** up!
I'll have my DSLR with me so I'll get some stills and post them when I get back.
Happy with that mate. And a good enough reason to go ;)
-
I'd say it was a sign of someone more clever then they let on myself ;) and one hell of a memory :D
-
What I like to hear Ash where are you man people wanting to know about the next meet :)
-
It's nice that subtle I like it good buy mate looking forward to seeing the end product now ;)
-
Ha Ha I'm now confused dot com !!
Adam and a few other that come here but have there own forums too do a lot of going over to Europe. :)
Funny you should say that, but the only time I ever drink that stuff is heading home after one of our European trips. It is therefore time to stock up again as I'm off to the Nürburgring this weekend...
Nice one of my favourite tracks you taking one of the cameras for some more footage ;) And I'm the same hate the stuff taste like Pi$$ IMO don't mind the tropical monster energy drinks though :)
-
Very nice job mate there's more to you then meet's the eye Adam :D Shame I couldn't get it ported over
-
Sorry, I fell asleep before I got that far down the list!
And Tlag and Bip let you drive around Europe good god man get some Redbull down ya

It's the only reason I love this time of year. I can carry rope a shovel, pickaxe and some black bags in the boot of my car and get pulled over without the police asking to many questions.

Hi Chris welcome to S.O.C
I agree with Jay. How much do you want to keep the car also. But a full engine rebuild would be the best bet, but could get a refurbished engine. But not always advised like what Jay said you never know how well it was built.
But Tlag and Adam or Bip might be able to give you a bit more advice their all very good with the engine side of things :)

I remember getting a quote from them ages ago, I can't remember if it was good or not now :)

That look's black to me :D but very nice all the same.
Think them glasses would work to Jay :D
-
Hi mate welcome to S.O.C
Jay is selling his not blue though :( And there is another one very nice but not standard but well worth the look :)
I take it you have had a look through already
-
Indeed I'd tell the Missus I still had to pay for it and use the money om the car :D
-
:( always around this time of year. With the fire place Miggs I take it it's a new one or a modern one should I say. I would just try get the hoover on it clean all the dust out of it and check that the flue isn't blocked. But It sounds like over temp sensor is faulty, but worth trying to hoover it all out seen that happen a lot with it not being used over the summer same with the boiler that could be a number of things. Just as bad as cars :(
-
Hey mate. you back yet and picked up the new car yet ?
-
:( gutted I always wash mine myself I don't trust anyone else not even the Missus :D
-
Starsky and hutch ? just a random guess :)
-
I do it that way as i'm normally being whipped with a riding crop whilst I'm tied up.

As I said before played games all my life I think I should have been in the industry myself I was even picked to be 1 of the 1st 50 beta testers for xbox live :D I use them more this time of year now it get's dark early and it's cold. Forza is really Good can tinker about with car's for ages. Shooting games has to be on the PC for me no other way for it really :D
-
I've always bought both, I always get one on day of release before then give it a few months to a year before buying the other one. But was made really hard this year to choose with Xbox saying they was going to being lot's of stuff I didn't like the sound of. But it was Forza in the end that's made my mind up it's just something I need in my life
-
I progressed to wearing them too now under the leather's :)

Sounds like a good car as long as you look after it with the service side of thing's. And don't blame you I've thought about doing the same I just don't think I could bring myself to drive another car unless I had no choice :D
