Autoshite chat over Zoom - 8.00pm Tuesdays. PM brownnova for the link if you don’t have it!

[Six-cylinder]

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 17^th February 2021 7.30 pm

You will need to pm me for an invite and password.

how much to rent a deckchair

 

[horriblemercedes]

Could be fun! I'd join but I'll be at work so will have to miss the inaugural round 

[leanycan]

Something positive being suggested on the forum is good to see! I'll not be able to attend it but I think it's a great idea. 

[catsinthewelder]

Sounds good to me and unusually for things like this the timing is perfect 😁

Hmm. Maybe,

[DSdriver]

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.

Great idea! Sadly same time and date as my local’s pub quiz, which I’m quizmaster for this week, so I’ll not make this one. But next time! 

[sutty2006]

I’ll check my work rota and see what happens! 

[richardmorris]

Sure.

[chaseracer]

YES

details plz

[eddyramrod]

Excellent idea!  And as @leanycan said above, great to see something positive. Sadly my tech is too old to run Zoom but I'll be with you in spirit.  Have fun!

[louiepj]

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.

First one, so who knows! Depends how much beige there is to discuss. Or beer to be drank.... which ever runs out first 

[Ghosty]

I should be around for that!

[LightBulbFun]

count me in I should be able to Join this no problem as I have no actual IRL life LOL

(question is do people want me to Join, lest it turn into a bunch of men watching a 21 year old ramble on about Invacars and Lightbulbs LOL)

Don’t worry we can always put you on mute 😉

Yeah but I can still wave lightbulbs and fluorescent tubes around on Camera! 

(like some autoshite version of charades LOL)

[Fumbler]

Ooh this sounds interesting... Might give it a go.

[busmansholiday]

In my diary, do we have to wear facemasks so we cannot get Covid / ever recognise each other again ?

[Billy - Medhurst]

My face is more suited to radio so I am out.............

 

[Ghosty]

I'll have to set my laptop up for this, there's no webcam on my PC. 
Can you get Zoom on Ubuntu? I've never used it. 

 

[Dick Longbridge]

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]

Excellent idea.  But perhaps we could vary the days as I’m otherwise occupied on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.  

[Macscrooge]

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....
