Just been speaking(txting) to him. He`s been pc-less for ages, getting new 1 next week though. His phone also died, so lost all his numbers. He didn`t see the point in re-joining **** cause no one ever posts.

Not sure if i`ll be allowed to rejoin in jan. :banned: :lol2:

Anyway. back on topic or Craig will hit us with some infractions. :reaper: :hysterical:

[Col]

WITFS an infraction?

[neil]

See the yellow & red cards at top of everyones posts( apart from ours)

[Wilson]

I'm going to this - bit annoyed about the date change, May was much better IMO

[Bazza K]

July is better for me cause I'm on holiday in May

[Donna]

I will be there again this year with all the boys and girls of Edinburgh Cruise... Think i am orgainising it for them again this year...

Bit crap how the dates have been changed but i am sure i can live with it.. Hope to see yous down there again and hopefully meet some more of yous :D

[betty_swollox]

any more chat on this at all?

[neil]

Na. I`m not going. Don`t think Craig is & not sure about Keith.

[craig306xs]

Yeah i'm not going to FCS this year as it is too close to my 2 week's in Florida....:cool:

[dicky boy]

i am not going to i will to bissy at home

[Wilson]

Is anyone going from here?

[craig306xs]

Due to FCS changing this from it's normal weekend in May to July i don't think there will be a pugscotland stand this year as 90% of us that went last year are away on holiday or it is too close to our holiday's at least next year we will know when it's going to be if they keep the date's the same as this year...?

[sandy]

Is anyone going from here?

i will be there wilson just trying to find a stand to get on lol.
will hopefully have a 106 gti by then aswell
oh and the FCS site is now live

WTF????!!!!! :eek:

[chron]

Hear!

[betty_swollox]

good drills hear, i knew you had jumped across the water but an R32? your getting paid too much hear

[Ginja Ninja]

Completely stupid time to have the show in my opinion! And Rockingham sounded promising too! Ah well since most of us aren't members of the Pgac any more it doesn't really matter.

[neil]

Totally agree with you Dave. Its only 4 weeks before we go on hol. End of May was perfect time for us.:mad

[Wilson]

Yeah not impressed with the change.

U don't need to be members of PGAC to go - I'm not :D

[RR Dave]

has people booked accomodation for this yet and if so where abouts?

[chron]

did they not think most people go away for summer holidays in mid july? daft idea. track looked decent too!

[dicky boy]

it look like to a poor show for it this year

[Boards]

Evening all. I'm not going to go this year either. Really proper gutted about the date change - what a pisser. May was perfick. I'll miss the banter and the convoying. Was good getting away as a group. :viol: I, I, I love you all, youre always in my heart....

What gives anyway? More punters through the gate in July? Winnits. Show was always pretty crap. Should do something else like go to a show and look at good cars I'd buy if I actually afford something decent or get shitfaced in Amsterdam. Or a gynaecology convention.

[chron]

ahoy greggness i thought you had got lost!

yeah i think we should arrange road trip somewhere (france or something...who knows) for some point later this year :)

will miss the banter!

[Wilson]

I have but can't remember where as it was ages ago :lol:

[Boards]

Good idea matey! Dont know how I'll be on those foreign roads though, have enough trouble telling left from right. We can follow you mr continental.

[betty_swollox]

this the reason for FCS makin a move?

[Boards]

Genius Nially. The *******s.

[Boards]

For **** sake Neil, can I not say *******!

[Boards]

How are you by the way? All good?

[betty_swollox]

im all good. still loving the job, although it does mean the next 6 months in lincolnshire :mad but hey it pays the bills at the end of the month so cant complain too much :cool:

hows life in the world of gregg?

oh and for the record, i may have the flag from the fcs pub last year. will need to check next time im home

[Wilson]

I got told they moved in cos of a decible restriction at bruntingthorpe which meant they can't have noisy cars there anymore and track action

Hi Niall x. My world is fine but bit pissed theres no FCS at the end of next month seeing as the last two years a lot of us have had a good weekend away. Hows the car? What mods you done? I told Neil last night you might have the flag, hazey recollection of your boot being open at Southwaite services for some reason, before you set off to the cress shaped boaby!

Had a meal at the Black Bull in Killearn last week, it was awful! Things change.

[betty_swollox]

WTF?????!!!!!! they are going to fly a vulcan from there in a month or two! The VC10 a/c which is still in service has noise abatement restrictions at most civvy airports cos its a noisy beasty. The Vulcan in comparison makes it sound like a pussy cat so i expect that is a lame excuse as no barry boy exhaust is going to silence a Vulcan on full chat :eek: also on the cold war day, high speed demos by a bucaneer and victor? ear defenders ahoy, from quite a distance!

awful? times do change indeed, but the black bull did have some nice tottie working there last time I was in. not been there for about a year. Yeah the show was pretty pants but the wekend away was quality banter hear. The car is still living. Had a jabba anti roll bar on it which tidied it up nicely but that has since been sold, "warranty and insurance issues" however the ibiza cupra brathing mods are still on board and thay said jack at the last service so when im back near jabba, i'll let them breathe on it with a big juicy laptop, to improve fuel economy, you understand... You still got a van or you sorted your life out?

i'm still to get a picture of the forest shaped boaby, now as its light when i may be travelling that road, ill take a snap. also, if i do sow a cress boaby in someones carpet then i will also share the love!

[Boards]

Wheres my 'x' you *******! Lol sowing the boaby hows that work?. I thought you were getting it chipped or remapped? No life must be ****ed because I'm getting a new van in the next couple of weeks!

[Wilson]

Yeah I know - that was what was being said just before they moved the venue so I don't know anymore.

[betty_swollox]

http://www.puffun.com/funimages/babykiss.jpg

just for you gregg!!!!!! sowing a boaby? simple.

1. collect cress seeds and arrange on some poor gits carpet in the shape of a boaby. Hope he wont be home for at least a weekend/week.

2. add water to cress.

3. watch cress boaby emerge from the carpet.

4. laugh as it is quite hard to hoover out depending on growth time!

re. chip/remap - obviously i would never disclose on an open forum whether my car was remapped as skoda uk have pretty good detectives and refuse warranty work when they link your sign in name on a forum to your car when its in for work :mad - it happens more often than you think.

however if it was optimised for more mpg courtesy of jabbasport and their laptop, it would have at least 280lb/ft of torque depending how screwed the clutch is :D watch this space for more mpg.

oh and vans arent in these days, unless its a silly overpowered sprinter and white ;) x

[dicky boy]

Is That You When You Were Just A Nipper

[Boards]

Cheers Niall, superb as always. 280lb ft, shit! Is that you in the pic?

[betty_swollox]

yup its a pic i took last week. boyish looks and witty charm. its all you need in this world to get by. well, when you drive a skoda

[Boards]

New car on the way Niall? Audi?

[betty_swollox]

hmmm. not audi but yes, new one on the horizon. bit camp but not hairdresser

[betty_swollox]

so is no one going at all to FCS? jst trying to sort out my weekends for the next few weeks.... only 4 weeks away i believe! is there going to be a meet over the summer at all or is all just pcag? im going to be up a few weekends over the next month or so

[chron]

don't think anyone from here is really going! not regulars anyway

[neil]

Regulars? Tis a shit date.

[betty_swollox]

aye regulars i meant. ah well. ill look out for meets up the road then

[chron]

the ecosse open day in october :D

[Boards]

Is anyone going to FCS? Anyone? Even just going to the show minus the hotel and all that? I'm thinking of popping in.

[gd16]

Not going to FCS at all this year. Normally only go for the track time, but its a huge increase in cost this year.

Added to that i'm not sure if the car would survive all the way there and back.


Anyone else spotted that the thread is titled 'Fench Car Show'

[betty_swollox]

i noticed that but didnt mention it incase neil's ban finger/change post finger got itchy again. oh and no, im not going to head down to fcs

[neil]

[dicky boy]

yes you

[dicky boy]

so whick one off yous went to fcs this year lol

[Wilson]

I went and it was good

much better venue I think ;)

[dicky boy]

was it more better than last year lol was the more thing to do

[Wilson]

Yes I thought it was better than last year

I liked the traders and the venue and the trakc was great - u could actually see it this time rather than one crappy corner
