Six-cylinder Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Fancy joining together for an Autoshite chat over Zoom? I have been having social Zoom meetings while we are in lockdown with several car clubs, a railway enthusiasts group and a local group of friends and I am thinking why not an Autoshite Zoom meeting. This is not a formal meeting and is simply a group of friends having a chat with the focus on cars. Avoid politics and religion and we should be OK. It is a new experience for me hosting so we see how it goes and maybe it could become a regular monthly or even weekly event while we are in lockdown. I have only been doing Zoom for a few weeks myself but the process to down load the Zoom app seemed straight forward. If you don’t want to download the app you can join in a browser. First meeting Wednesday 17th February 2021 7.30 pm You will need to pm me for an invite and password. chaseracer, LightBulbFun, Dick Cheeseburger and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSdriver Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 This should be interesting, how many of us don't wear trousers when using the computer and how many of us are cat people. Seriously though, I couldn't get past the Zoom introductory video because there were so many rapid image movements I nearly had a vertigo attack.

louiepj Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 This sounds like a good idea how long do they usually run for as I am usually settling my girls to bed for 8 p.m. but could join in after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Cheeseburger Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Sounds good. I assume it's a requirement to sit on a chair next to our shitest vehicle whilst drinking questionable alcohol and burning petrol covered rags in an old oil drum to keep the pneumonia at bay?

Macscrooge Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Oh, and for what it’s worth I have a fair bit of experience hosting Zoom sessions for up to 50(!) people. And a paid Zoom licence.... LightBulbFun and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
