More posts would be good, but its kinda nice being a smaller community then other forums such as retro rides cause its easier to get to know people, but i agree more posts would be cool.

Again, something I can try and do something about!
*Cough, cough* :lol:

But what I really think is that we should really be outside taking advantage of this short perioid of time where you don't need to look like michelin dude for getting outside instead of spending time in here :D

Well that is what I think, naturally what I do is largely different matter from what I think, I doubt that usually those two things are not connected by any way :roll:

Who would spend time in front of computer when there is +26C to +28C outside, no clouds and gurls removing clothes faster than ice cream melting on hot tarmac?

Oh right, me, at work, no window in grey room where we have at least +40C and no airflow sm2

I'm sure Aymat is having good beer at beach with gurl or two at this moment (who wouldn't?), reply might take few moments to get :lol:

It has some advantages, all these hot gurls that tell dirty two minded jokes whole day is not so bad company to spend summer days, but sure I would rather be outside taking pics of odd thingsnot

Could be that the forum needs re-listing by bots to attract new members. Like me.

Ha ha, excellent :D Well no, not really :) I'm starting a new job next week, and I must say that it was quite difficult to find something good in this period of economical crisis, I was a bit desperate the last weeks. In the meantime, I wanted to start my own business with friends but again, not the best moment economically, the project is stopped yet. But yes, I must admit it, now that I'm driving the C70, I spend more time outside looking at nice girls than working on the computer :D Warm weather + girls with less clothes = good time :lol: LOL

Been quiet round here has it? Afraid I've not been on for a while - too busy with work.

I'll do my best not to disappear too much, keep the numbers up and all that. Agreed it's a pity not much has happened with the photo comp.

Not much news this end, but the 340 sailed though this years MOT. Unfortunatly I need to get round to some de-rusting on the front valance, but finding more than a couple dry days in a row is rather difficult lately :P :(
