Six-cylinder 21737 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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. wuvvum, willswitchengage, chaseracer and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites

DSdriver 3626 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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. Six-cylinder 1 Link to post Share on other sites

eddyramrod 17667 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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! Link to post Share on other sites
louiepj 977 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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 post Share on other sites

Ghosty 15958 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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. Talbot 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dick Longbridge 10596 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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 456 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Excellent idea. But perhaps we could vary the days as I’m otherwise occupied on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. brownnova 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Macscrooge 456 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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.... chaseracer and LightBulbFun 2 Link to post Share on other sites
