OMG, Suspended From RetroRides

[Station]

I wish the Maxi took them both out, I've never liked John Lennon, and, contrary to what '100 best songs ever written', I think Imagine is the worst song I've ever heard.

 

Welcome to AS.

[eddyramrod]

Station, I love you! I seriously thought there was something wrong with me because I agree with every word you've just posted; now I know I'm not alone I feel so much better. Thank you kindly.

[Drive-By]

I think its time we all had a nice cup of beige allegro and calm down.

 

I love reading the posts here, a sunbeam or a sunny they all get love here and not a click in sight to point a finger and say you don't belong.

Suspended From RetroRides

You got parole? Lucky git.

 

To be honest, if someone's car looks total shit, what's the harm is expressing an honest opinion about it.

 

We're all grown ups on here so free speech reigns supreme!

 

Oh, and welcome!

Welcome to AS.

The image of Vim Fuego from Bad News singing Imogen just popped into my head.

 

Oh, and welcome Team Blitz

[gtd2000]

Is this an ecumenical Church then? This Shite House on the interweb?

Church?

 

You need to leave your Yanky mindset at the door partner - we is all freethinkers and heathens outside of the contigous 48

 

I have to admit that I've not been on RR for a while - Autoshite is one of my favoUrite forums to be fair as there is a lot of interesting stuff and from what I can tell a generally higher level of grey matter

 

Hence the lack of Church requirements

 

Oh and welcome by the way

[scooters]

I only ever use RR for selling and buying - I dn't think I have even been on the general forum there - not my scene really

To be fair there is a lot of interesting stuff on the general board (and elsewhere) on RR.

Trigger's pictures (I think it was Trigger!) from the gathering for example were well worth a look through, and quite often there's some really good stuff on RR.

 

Still utterly bemused over the banning though, there didn't seem to be any 'anti' content from Blitz, and the 'this isn't your forum' comment was disgraceful.

[dieselnutjob]

just had a look at retrorides to see what the fuss is about

didn't like it

I'm not a fan of bling

[trigger]

It wasn't me Billy! I never went although I wish I did as it seems like I missed a good weekend.

 

There are still some very good threads, you just need to filter out the dross first, Seths thread last night was a enjoyable read.

[Mr Lobster]

Probably Reallylouds pictures, or possibly mine but I didn't take many...

 

I like RR. Yeh theres some crap on there but if you can ignore that theres also some really good stuff too.

 

Trigger - the Gathering really was good. Took me six hours to get there on Saturday but it was worth it. Even if you don't bother with the forum side at all, its a brilliant event and well worth making the journey.

Thanks Trigger. Linky

 

I took a few photos at the show but would only be duplicating what everyone else has posted. Impossible to do all the social stuff, watch the track action, look at the cars, take photos and go Isabella hunting so I did a rubbish amount of all of them. Except the Isabella hunting. That was pretty good!

[Cavcraft]

Class.

KFW is a top geezer, isn't he? Have tonnes of respect for the guy, he's an absolute legend.

[ChinaTom]

Interestingly, Retro-rides is an officially banned site in China.

[ChinaTom]

Doubt it - I assume it is a direct translation of a Taiwanese granny-porn site.

 

Note that I said "assume".

 

Anyway, if the ICBM wiring diagrams are as poorly followed by migrant worker assemblers as they are in my Great Wall Deer Pick-up, the ones pointed at your house will end up crashing into a village shop in Equatorial Guinea. And the detonator will have rusted away to nothing so they won't explode, and end up being bought by a Chinese scrap dealer, shipped back to China to be made into ICBM's again.

 

As for Mao, well, he's just a name on some period theme restaurants now. President Hu is far less of an issue - how many "world leaders" do you see that actually get fatter and younger during their reign? Obama looks like the South Park rendition of him, Tony Blair looks like a worn out shuttlecock, Dubbya looks older than his mum etc. Hu seems to be in it for the banquets and room service. The army out here is too busy carrying old folk away from flooded rivers to bother with aggression.

 

If you fancy a coup d'etat now is probably a good time.

[ChinaTom]

 

If you get past him, you'll have my Missus to deal with. You'll need more than a Simonov spesh I reckon.

 

North Korea isn't really on the priority list at the moment - anyway, one can't just go round murdering other countries leaders just because... er, ahem...

 

Creating a little havoc is necessary when you are buying up a whole continent. Have you any idea what sort of hassles and shenanigans are involved in digging up Zambia to get rid of that nasty old copper for them? And the oil? Don't get me started on that! A policy based on pacifistic false promises and cheap tele's takes a lot of typing if that contract to remove that nasty old oil from all the 'Stans.

 

They play a mean game of swapsies do the Chinese. Beats war though.

 

Better start learning Mandarin. Then you can bring down the regime from within.

[Albert Ross]

Chinaman Square!

[ChinaTom]

Here's a true patriot.

 

Yup. In a way. Aren't you just a little bit disappointed the tanks didn't squash him? Arguments made easier! The conversation undoubtedly went

 

"oi, fuck of out the way"

"rabble rabble rabble rabble"

"Look mate, I'm just doing my job - you're only making it worse"

"rabble rabble {increasingly loose farts} rabble rabble"

"you owe me a fuckin pint for this"

 

Things have moved on a bit since then.

[Albert Ross]

Pete, that's brought back loads of memories regarding a comic that isn't as funny as it used to be.

[Guest]

This thread was better when a handful of people thought Norm actually owned a Citation II.

[trigger]

To be honest I'm totally confused by the whole thread, and I'll take bets that I'm not the only one!

Sorry - my fault. No more I promise.

[autofive]

 

"oooh a little bit of politics"

 

 

 

 

got any photos of your fleet Norm?

[trigger]

Let me help with the confusion.

 

I didn't mean pull you, Trigger. I meant pull the trigger on the SKS.

It's not the first time an American has tried to pull me, It must be the Brut that i wear.

[whitevanman]

World politics...Hmmm, maybe best if I don't join in too much.

 

Hi Norm welcome and I know what you mean about talking to Korean war vets....they have a lot to tell, very little of it is pro China or North Korea.

[Formula Autos]

Is this guy Boomhauer from King of the Hill? - that's the voice that pops into my head when reading his posts.

[Pete-M]

Hey Norm, you've been accepted old chap.

 

It's just a tad off the wall for the ol' shitehaven here.

 

Oh, and the Merkin with the Cigar doesn't half remind me of Tony B. Liar.
