None I was taking the photo but a few future friends of mine are on the stage, as this was the event that really got me interested. I had seen a lot of cosplay online but didn’t know there was a local scene at all. The Moog and beko1987 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myglaren Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 This seems to be the thing that attracts many to the Cosplay scene. A dedicated thread here for interested parties. Roobarb and purplebargeken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpingjehovahs Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yesterday, rather than sitting with the engine running to keep the battery topped up, I took my decrepit roffle win Honda for a quick spin up and down the street. It can't have covered more than 0.2 of a mile and never got above 2nd gear but it was lovely to be driving it again. Despite being 21 years old and having not moved more than 6ft since mid-March it always feel a lot happier to be up woken from it's slumber than my much younger Prius. Inconsequential to many, but a big grin for me! Roobarb, paulplom, Three Speed and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably on the look out for water,i had a couple visit my garden last year,left a bowl of water out and they drank a lot of it and off they went--it's very satisfying to help them. 155V6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inconsequential to many, but a big grin for me! Follow up grin. Took the car down to the jet-wash at Morrisons today to wash it and not only was it almost a thrill to do something so normal, it also came up looking amazing. Drove it straight home and polished it and I'm really happy with it. Certainly better than 3 months worth of dust and baked on bird shit. The roof on these is a weird aero/bumpy kind of shape so this picture of shit but I'm very happy with how much it shines after a polish too. Bonus HRV/workstation views too. Little things in lockdown! Also think I might have seen @BorniteIdentity/his Corolla did a small wave, but neglected to flash the headlights in case I looked like a loon to a stranger. Either way a Corolla spot is also a grin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Had a local friend who I know from the vacuum and car scene pop over earlier and socially and distantly drop this off for some magic We then at a distance looked round his car Which he says he's been refining the timing on today and it sounded ace, didn't realise they had such a note coming from the exhaust! paulplom, catsinthewelder, Quintus and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisItalSLX Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I found this while going through a box of photographic slides with my Grandma, it would have been from when she got her licence in 1969. It was also great for us to look at all the slides she has, I’ve never seen them and she hadn’t looked at them since the 80s. Thankfully my neighbour had a slide projector we could borrow.

MorrisItalSLX Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 It looks like V.J. Driving School was a bustling centre of industry. It is also within a stones throw of the (arguably) most horrific intersection in Sydney, The Five Ways. It used to be a giant roundabout that was even worse.

paulplom Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Enjoying a present from[mention=5588]DVee8[/mention] in liu of lending my chipper.A mate contacted me and said he had a 2010 kia ceed3 1.6 diesel for sale. I offered up my bini and saab as a swap.I went to have a look this morning and he had his laptop handy. He's self employed and had a grant from the government recently. He entered my details and within 6 days I'll be getting money paid into my account too. Canny result .Not sure what to do regarding the swap though.

Zelandeth Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I should have been at a convention this weekend but it was of course cancelled due to the current situation. They've had a few events streaming over the weekend online though so it's been nice to feel like a part of things at least a little bit. The real grin though, even though the event was cancelled through, we've still managed to raise £16K and counting for this year's charity. That's through people donating some or all of their membership costs rather than requesting a refund and through donations made over this weekend. That's a lot of money from an event that basically never happened. Bren, Tickman, richardmorris and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I might die of shock...just been doing work involving carpentry and it didn't descend into a complete farce! Everything actually fitted...first time. Sure I'll make up for it when I continue tomorrow - need to make a Toolstation run first though as I've run out of mounting brackets and am nearly out of the relevant size of woodscrews.
