True friends we all have very few and should make sure we harness those relationships

Others mates etc are often "fair weather" friends the ones then when you REALLY need help arent around etc

We all have them and always will i have many fair weatehr friends in both directions

but the important part remember who your TRUE FRIENDS are and look after them the way you would want to be looked after

Peace

Well done boys

Tis nice to have peeps to turn to ay and know you can rely on em
Like a mate did with me recently,,,his got no where to live,,,,no way i was gonna see him out on the streets,,,,so his now gonna kip on my sofa for a couple of weeks bless him

Done it a while back too for another mate, she didn't want to move back to Kent, so to kill some time till she could move into her new place,,,,she stayed with me!!

At the end of the day,,,,if ya can't turn to your mates,,,,,,,,who do you turn to

Big up to the Boys though,,,,,well done lads

For a long time I hung about with people from school. Then I found out they were utter coonts really when I started mixing with people from the car scene.

People from Fordsport, people off of here including, I mean the list is endless. All quality people and if I haden't gotten involved I would have never met them.

As far as I'm concernec, I dont know enough of you as well as I should, your all top people that made me realise what real friends are all about.

well tbh i actually have found more people on this board to be better mates than the ones i got, i only got 2 mates i really rely on and will ask favours on that i expect em to do it

but loads of people on here look after me and so i try to look after as mant people on ehre as i can to do them favors too

sooooo many top peeps on here though its scary, so many people on here help me out

i admit one of me mates i do anything for just so he looks after me when im in trouble

yes we all need mates like that

I always had loads of pals when i lived in east london then i met my bird and you seem to fizzle out of hanging with mates etc etc
Anyway once that went down the pan your mates come back and pick you up again
Then i met my ex wife who happend to be of mixed race (white mum black dad) and i can honestly say i lost every so called mate the minute i was with a non white girl even to the point of seeing them and being told to fuck off so in all honesty i've not had a single mate since 1997 then when split with my wife i just stayed away from all the people i used to know and now i live in Canvey all the "friends" i have are my family really i don't mean this as a feel sorry post just that i really am Billy no mates lol.

Best ive ever had, is Sean Bicknell whi id NEVER Met before, going to look at a car for me, giving me the nod, then letting me come to his house, leave my car then he ran me there to look at the car himslef in his ESCOS(when it was 280 bhp). BTW it wasnt ANYTHING AT ALL to do with him the car i was buying. Him and RICH were as helpfull as anyone ive ever met. And this was before he was everyones god PMSL. top bloke Shame i spoke to him in AGES. Get s harder to ring the longer ya leave it
