Default ITS GUMBALL TIME!!! Who's going then?

Looks like quite an impressive turn out from the PF people

I'll be there nice and early (10) to see if I can get some bling pictures of the cars and stars and beat the crowd.

But it looks like I'll be meeting up with SimonT, Vix and JimG too with LouTurbo, Nikki and RichardPON and his crew joining us later.

Anyone else comming? And what time?

then from there ya get the train from caledonian road to piccadilly circus and ya there

park near stock orchard cres as thats a safe area, all me cars are stored there

the other side on the left is a CPZ but only enforced from monday to friday 930am to 430pm, its to stop the gubby studants parking as the rich people want to have a parking space

trust me stock orchard is safe as me garages are there and thats where i used to live

the reason i avoid north road/market road is because of the big council estate there, thats where i used to hang about and there alot worse now

theres 4 garages in that estate thats full of nicked mopeds that the insurance companys aitn bothered to pick up, its got worse since they made it restriced parking as now its like going shopping, they dont have to hunt for em now, the owners park em in motorcyle bays so they just choose what they feel that day
