Post by d3k4y0 »

I've been splitting my time evenly between the B3ta boards and my uni's RockSoc(iety) forums (mainly as official forum grammar Nazi)
also been spending more time than normal on the RLFans forums (Rugby League)

In desperation I went to the VOC forums, eventually joined up there, kept an eye on T-Bricks and spent far too much time on Ebay! Spent lots of money on there, collected some nice 300 stuff, including some rare brochures to share with the forum once I've scanned them all! Good work Aymat and Andy, it's back, the self help groups can now be disbanded and shut down. It was a tough time for us all, but we're through it now! LOL sm87

Ebay (too which I might be putting a claim in to Aymat for...;)), and recently the Wessex Motor Club. Decided to give these road rally efforts a go, came first in class the other day! (Yeah, ok, so it's a fluke, I don't care :P)

YAY, so glad this place is back!!

I've had a busy time whilst it's been away. I've sold my 'orrible French tin can (aka the ZX) and bought a Jap pocket rocket (aka Swift GTi), I acquired a free Volvo 480 Turbo which I was gonna break for parts but ended up fixing it up and selling it on on ebay and made a few quid, plus I've been buying bits in preparation for the 360's arrival. I've now got a set of V400 vented discs to try and fit (just need some calipers), I'm currently in talks about some 6" wide Polux alloys, and my proudest acheivement was getting the driving light grille off ebay :D

So with 360 rally project is coming along nicely. I'm completely skint, but that doesnt really matter.

And Chris_C has joined me in the road rally lark by joining the same motor club as me. And I think I just about beat him on the event last week, but well done to him for a great result :)

Mooched around VOC; someone came and took Sausage away. Unfortunately for the poor boy, who had travelled the length of the A50 in a grown-up Volvo towing a trailer (that's gotta be a lot of fuel), there was more work than I'd realised needed for an MOT. Not sure what will happen to the old girl. I expect he felt like putting a match to her. Sorry, Tim. Otherwise, the usual freediving sites and too much time looking at home cinema kit that I can't afford.

Oh yes, was passed on the way home a few weeks ago by a glorious black 300 with spotlights, erm, maybe a 360 GLT. Anyone here driving through Ruddington in such a vehicle recently???

I was damn proud I got near you :D Looking forward to a few more, but I think I'm either going to bring Fake over, or get another GLT, or just not throw Kar round as much next time. Brakes were a bit smokey by the end, and trying to stop at a few junctions was..... intresting ;)

Glad you got the grill mate, it makes a lot of difference!
