loserone Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Smart idea bringing a passenger to take pictures for you. Good luck breaking @Mr FluffyballsFluffyballs' MPG record.

Jim Bell Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 When people ask me if I have a hobby and I say yes I stand in car parks in the wind and rain near old (and brand new) cars having a bit daft laugh and carry on with a load of lovely funny people whom I then try and convince to drive my small drab car, they stare at me and say "that's not a hobby". Well it is. It's them that's wrong, not me. Great to see all you glorious bastard and bastardettes tonight. Everyone who drove, or tried to drive that Visa was a stone cold Billy big bollox. Even if they only made it 9ft. Thanks very much for the grand scotch hospitality. 19/10 for bants. 20/10 for cars. 9/10 for the nosebag.

overrun Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Standing in car parks used to be the thing back in the day, like. Spillers and Team Valley, Block Yards etc were a lot closer, too!

320touring Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Was good to see the North East contingent:) Excellent turn out, good laugh and a bundle of fine steeds to try.

sdkrc Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The clutch died heroically in the battle for 1st gear 150m from my flat. @davehedgehog31 watched the final death throws. It then leapt back into life and got me home only 2 cycles of the traffic light later. RIP Visa clutch. You were never built for 4 non-French peasants going uphill at 30mph as @captain_70s said. Some great people tonight. Really enjoyed that...and the rain. aldo135, stereotype, davehedgehog31 and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehedgehog31 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Good to meet you @sdkrc Glad you made it back, I birled round in the bus stop and tried to hang about the vicinity to make sure you got going, probably the worst place along the route you could have come a cropper.

captain_70s Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Grand night despite the weather. Nice to meet some new folks and put some names to faces! @sdkrc's Visa is quite possibly the worst vehicle I've ever driven - In the best way possible. The gearbox felt like contained no gears and the end of the gear stick was just tangled in a fuck ton of elastic bands, reverse was somewhere inside the driver's seat. The only way I could tell the highbeam was on was because of the indicator light. Thank Christ I had @stereotype on duty to wipe the inside of the windscreen with a squeegee. On the flipside the engine sounded dead sweet and actually pulled really well despite a non-functioning clutch and it sat at a steady 60-65mph on the motorway on the way home, barreling into corners despite the comedy body roll was also much fun. @blackboilersuit's Saab was mega. Although I could never own one, I'd lose my license within hours. Only downside to the night was I gave Girlfriend_70s my phone to use the satnav in the car and when I got it back the screen had exploderated by reasons unknown. sdkrc, Jim Bell and stereotype 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schaefft Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Mitsubishi made it home, continues to function as a car. It was a great turnout indeed, and once again some very interesting cars! I'm glad I didn't drive the Visa only to ruin the clutch myself lol. Jim Bell, Flat4, sdkrc and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdkrc Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 100,000% bringing the Ford next time. Please shoot me if I'm in the Visa again. davehedgehog31 and 320touring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
