Guest Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 OMG shite battle against Pete-M on GT5 last night. Turbo Fiat 500F versus Spitfire 1500 on Grand Valley! Lounge is called 'Autoshizen' if you want to find us tonight. Bring your cavalcade of crap. Might possibly change the circuit as well - I'm partial to Madrid, Autumn Ring Mini and Suzuka. Tsukuba is the tits as well. Let me know if anyone fancies it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-M Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 That was properly amusing, and El Watanabe is better at it than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brammy777 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 That print looks amazing, nice one! From the dimensions you mentioned on Flickr it is rather large too...Hmmm, regarding the GT5 Autoshite challenge, I may be up for this. I have LOADS of cars in my garage, I used to go and build my credits up just to go and buy the used cars, I will connect my PS3 up to the WIFI and see what I can do.

Cavcraft Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I grew some bedding plants from seeds and after much waiting my Sweet Peas are finally starting to flower. Not much I know but the damn things have grown like wildfire and up until the last day or so there was no sign of them blooming.I've spent a fair bit of time in the back yard again this year and everything is starting to come out now and add a nice splash of colour. Oh, and the tomatoes and lettuce I grew from seed (present from the missus) are coming along nicely now, much to the happiness of my daughter's rabbit.

Spottedlaurel Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Two things made me smile on the way home: 1) Seeing the Angry Dicky Maestro and Oxford heading up the A140 in Norfolk. 2) Picking up the Camry V6 with a fresh MoT, the brake calipers cleaned-up fine it would seem and they chucked new pads in, and the exhaust I bought fitted fine. Start using that next week If my internet connection stays on, I shall fire up my PS3/GT5 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Getting the settings correct on the welder, and striking an arc successfully and having the weld progress as it should, rather than in fits and starts and with regular changers of nozzle and having the wire back-up in the feed area from the resulting jam. This is especially grin-worthy as I've been welding an aluminium inlet manifold for the Imp, which means that I should be able to change to a Strommie/SU in the near future.

Angrydicky Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Two things made me smile on the way home: 1) Seeing the Angry Dicky Maestro and Cambridge heading up the A140 in Norfolk. Hi SL, Sorry to say I didn't see you, I was driving the A55 but I did spot a late model Camry estate in the same colour as yours with a local HAH reg near Stalham. I did wonder if you were around!

wuvvum Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I did spot a late model Camry estate in the same colour as yours with a local HAH reg near Stalham.

One is silver and the other is pale blue, but I forget which is which... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi SL, Sorry to say I didn't see you, I was driving the A55 but I did spot a late model Camry estate in the same colour as yours with a local HAH reg near Stalham. I did wonder if you were around! Richard. Sorry about the Oxford/Cambridge confusion! I did question it as I wrote it... It was only when I was alongside the Cambridge I clicked it would be you, initially I hadn't noticed it as I was so amazed to see the Maestro. You were just approaching that new roundabout a few miles south of Long Stratton, I was heading the opposite way in the Camry Sport stealth-mobile (if nobody notices it then it's doing its job). The estate you saw doesn't ring a bell with me, I'll keep my eyes open if ever I go up that way! Wuv's, it's likely that the older one will be silver and the P-reg pale blue.

One is silver and the other is pale blue, but I forget which is which... I think it was a silver one on a P. That's a coincidence you living in Stalham, we have a boat moored just behind the Museum of the Broads, so very close indeed. There's an early Metro rotting away in a front garden just past Richardsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that would explain it, if you'd been in the Laurel I would have recognised you straightaway! We had intended to be in Norfolk for a week but due to an emergency we had to come rushing back this morning. I did spot another Maestro actually, an ex British Gas C reg van parked on a verge just outside a petrol station which I think was on the A47? the main road somewhere near Potter Heigham, but they are a pretty rare sight now.
