Good points, they're the reasons puttin me off.

I think twin headlamps, spoiler, splitter and mine will look sorted then. Your manual days are over???? if you had your car in a manual, i reckon you'd love it even more...

Looking doubtful for this sunday, just forked out for the new bits on my cav, including the steering rack (at last!!), so i'm pretty skint, now i've decided to keep the car, i might get a non-standard steering wheel, if i do is that ok?
If i don't do that and decide to have a standard steering wheel, it'll be the end of this month, if you're visiting your mum, if not i'll send a cheque for it including the postage...

Evil · 21-10-2002, 15:34

Whatever you want regarding the steering wheel mate, it's here if you want it

Erm... I'd hate my car in manual, coz I wouldn't be able to drive it

STRETCH · 21-10-2002, 15:36

Why's that, if you don't mind me asking.

Motorbike accident last year..... fooked left elbow.... still fooked, gotta be removed (completely) and replaced with something less practical (most likely a metal bar) or more painful (like bone grafts from me leg, or something - maybe even a complete replacement from a dead bloke)

STRETCH · 21-10-2002, 15:44

ooooh, not nice

I thought you was gunna gimme some sarky reply. Lets hope you don't get a replacement off of a dead women, coz then you'll lose your ability to drive

Sorry Kirsty, i meant to think that, and not say it.

Evil · 21-10-2002, 15:50

It's ok..... I'm used to the idea now

Best part is they're gonna be putting a bar in my right ankle too, when the arthritis from the break gets too much .... ho hum 5h1t happens

Say what you like about women drivers mate, Kirsty thinks they are (with some exceptions) crap too

You'd be laffing more than that if you'd heard some of her outbursts to women who p155 her off on the road

STRETCH · 21-10-2002, 15:56

I'm pleased to see that some women are on the same wave length as us blokes. If they all were the roads would be a greater place.

Gotta go now, hometime, speak to ya tommorow, bye bye...

Dan coupe · 22-10-2002, 18:38

Stewie, thats thirteen mate, unlucky for some!!

Dan coupe · 22-10-2002, 18:42

Make that fifteen, goodnight all.

STRETCH · 23-10-2002, 12:23

Just wondered, will we ever have as our eastern meet, a day doing the quarter mile drag, or has it been done, if not it could be fun, i think.

Anthony · 23-10-2002, 16:30

Stretch , where you from? anywhere near Cromer by chance?

Anthony

Mr_PandaPaws · 23-10-2002, 18:23

Cool idea Stretch......... that'll take some planning and some serious support from members in the region!!
It has been mentioned to investigate having a private track day!!
All ideas will be considered, but it's down to each and EVERY member to lend their support or at least tell me they're not interested!!

Thanks

astrasport · 23-10-2002, 20:50

VERY cool idea...

make it so mr P.

Stewie · 23-10-2002, 22:39

Its a good idea. Weather its fiesable (sp) I don't know. Mr P. I think some investigation work on this is going to be needed. If you don't ask, you don't get, blah blah!!

As for the private track day. I have looked a little into this. Well, er... its like this. To hire Snetterton for one day (9am - 5pm), as a private track day is about 8000 pounds. This may sound expensive to start with, but, if say 100 cars turn up. 80 quid. Not bad as that gets you 20mins in every hour or there abouts. That also includes marshals, medical crew etc etc. To conclude on this one. I thinks its to far advanced for one region, but perhaps as MIG as a whole??????

PS. Niel did you E mail over that information we were talking about the other day? Its just that if you did, I didn't get it.

STRETCH · 24-10-2002, 08:23

Yes Anthony, i am from cromer. Who's you then??

Anthony · 24-10-2002, 15:51

It was a good guess, i've seen a picture of your car in the gallery and remember seeing one identical in Cromer? Did you buy it from a garage in St.Faiths?, as i also saw a similiar one for sale there quite a while back.

I live near the airport and have got a metallic grey astra, if you see one with a mig sticker thats me

Are you going to the eastern meet this sunday? wanna go in convoy so i dont get lost?

Anthony

Stewie · 24-10-2002, 18:04

Anthony - If you like I can meet you at Bacon Hell services (aka Beakon Hill) at the A140/A14 interchange. Then we can all get lost together!!!!

Yes m8 that would be good if you don't mind. What time you planning on being there and is it easy to find/clearly signposted.

Cheers
Anthony

STRETCH · 25-10-2002, 08:12

Yep thats my cav, and it was the one at st faiths.

Sadly i'm not going to the meet on Sunday, but i'm definately going to the next one.

If i see you in your car i'll give you a wave anthony...

STRETCH · 25-10-2002, 11:12

Just a quick question...

As i am going to miss this Sunday's meet

*sniff*

I need to get excited about the next one and make sure i have no plans for that day, so where and when is it gunna be. Hopefully by then i should have done a few more mods too

Stewie · 26-10-2002, 22:07

Stretch - Well, its like this. Poor ol' Mr paws's memory isn't what it was. He's easily confused these days, so everything has to be done slowly and one thing at a time.

Only joking Niel!!

Na, nothing has been finalised yet that I know of. But rest assured a thread will be created when Mr. Paws gets a min.

andywat · 30-10-2002, 19:35

Hey people... I just got a new job!

I hate the job i'm at now, and I've finally managed to get out!!!

WOOHOOOOO!!!!!

Stewie · 30-10-2002, 22:22

Congrats mate

Probably see you tomorrow.
