I know i do come down sometimes, And i do drive my cossie all year round. Working shifts does have it's downsides...

Don't think it surely can be that bad, just as Tracey has said with christmas just finished everyone is skint...Sure when the weather starts to get warmer the meets will grow in size again

I'll be down when it's possible and i'm not on nights.... I'll show ya ma Xenons aswell

Oh right!! So what ya saying then you wanna shut her down!!??!!

It was fooking taters & wet last night,,,but its winter what do we all really expect

I remember one April about two years ago it was raining so hard that when Pops & I were driving down the A127 we couldn't even see the road as it was just water but we still went

Course it gets quite during the winter, as said not many people want to come out & stand in the cold & rain you only really get the usual people who come down to see friends and also live kinda of local

So roll on the summer months when once again it will be packed

nikki i dont think grant was getting at that but even if he was the meet wouldnt stop,even if you two had decided to give it up.there are that many
that go normally whenthe weather is good that it would just carry on.
tbh at the mo its damn cold and can be wet,alot dont bring their cars out in it.i cant blame them.and the others that do go if anything like me go to see their friends,which in fairness is more what i go for now.ok i may like to see the cars at the same time but its more social for me now.

it will always get busier when the good weather returns.and they say 2007 is gonna be a stonker of a hot one

never thought i say this but neil is the only one that got what i was saying it used to be hardore whatever the weather the monsoon we had pic provided there was uproar cos i tried to cancel it if u remeber there we all was phoning each oter me u and trace postin to say its canceelled on again off again etc!!!!once again i express a opinion ( in fact was i the thread starter??? or did i just agree with the author?) all im sayin that its got quieter ans quieter roll on the summer cos it was well borin last nite lets be honest your little crowd and a few other crowds there wernt more than 40 people there roughly??? just so poor for what this meet has achieved in the past

dont see why everyone jumps on the defensive cos shock horror i have a opinion that everyone seems to have to comment on freedom of speech peeps,i stand by what i said and wont change just because not everyone agrees but once again my comments were twisted and made out differently to how i put them but what do i expect nothin more nothing less wish i had as much time on my hands to be that bothered by someones opinion anmd when i dont agree i dont bother replyin but thats me i guess

dave that pic is absoulute quality

I would have thought with your experince (ie being in the car scene for some time) you have never gone to a meet or show where the heavens have opened whilst your there and tbh I talking about anything and everything, I go to catch up with my friends - not talk cars all night like you have obvisouly experienced

dal, my dogs are not yappers - they howl. The yapping was from Tyler. You know what they say, little men have alot of attitude You'll know when Ascari's howling and no doubt as she's not put off by the vehicle noises they'll be coming along to all of them

Besides, the only ones in the whole night who seemed to have enjoyed going out was the dogs
