No harm what so ever in using a gym for excercise, its the competitive side of the gym people get into - as Jetset also indicates. Although I don't get my act together, I would rather go swimming, cycling, walking etc reguarly, favouring a variety. Track Time 20 minutes on/off spot on !!! Works superbly, as would racing !!!!!! Now that would be worth getting fitter for actually ! As would for more Track Time - which I am being drawn more towards than I have for the last 3 - 4 years............ I do Pilates weekly and stretching excercise most days - which I know is nothing like enough !! 'They' can't make up their minds if the housework, car washing, gardening is excercise or not, plus, I struggle with the the motivation, mostly having friends who are either super fit or I would be dragging along. But, yes I too need to address this sooner than later. Now where is the wine, need a glass infront of the telly ??

Guys - seriously - a bit of tone is good, ripped is not - well IMO anyway. (YUK !!!! ) I have an ex husband who still does 5 days of 2 hour sessions a week, masses of serious and dangerous dieting and dehydration (IMO again!) before competitions. To be fair he does and is still winning or in the top 4 for the UK. I do admire the effort though. Makes me laugh however, if I have injured myself, how he can tense up certain areas and show me the muscle effected by certain movements or strains. (Behave now - think clean thoughts !!! ) The constant viewing oneself in a mirror and vanity though is horrendous, let alone turning up at mine in a singlet when he visits Urgh-revolting !! And - he thinks I am fat - a mere untoned size 10/12 !! As for me;- I did do masses of Water Skiing - until the injuries got too bad - sadly too competitive for my own good. I also did assist running a Scout Group - until it got too political - only very recently given this up. I used to love designing Gardens, just not done any for a while. I downhill ski most years preferring the Scandinavian Countries. Love to travel - to places less travelled mostly. Attending/Watching most Motorsport inc Dragster (Car, & Bike) Love Driving with a huge passion - joining in Car Trips UK & Abroad, doing Track Days. Walks in the Countryside with friends. There are few things I dislike - well the Gym and Bowling (I just don't get it ) mainly !!! Thinking Flying has got to be one of the next adventures to try out.

Trust you Bradders to lower the tone !!!

Couldn't agree more !!

Agree with all above. Why not try to sell the Winter tyres later in the year. Win Win all round

Know the feeling. On another car forum where the same was happening, we could get 5 folk only to regularly join in which would have been ok but for all the comments of others about no meets. Now, I organise a once 6 weekly approx. weekday evening meet with dinner for the 5 regular folk. Seems a shame but happens. All you can hope is more new members in the area will join in.

Glad you are both OK. I can't imagine how you are all feeling right now. Despite it only being a car which can be repaired and/or replaced - its devasting none the less. I understand that numbness feeling. !!! It's not good. Hope it all gets sorted smoothly and quickly for you.

Not even a definite trackday - just a potential one !!! OMG !!! She must love you !!!!! Or - be expecting to have you under the thumb once that wedding ring is on !!!!! :lol:

Bump !! Just don't want anyone to miss this that might be able to attend, as it does look good.

Oh wow !! Glad to see you have your priorities in order the week before your wedding !!!! :lol:

I am not going either this year, although it is my all time fav event. I also went to the Revival Meeting for the first time last year - wow - what a fabulous show. Talk about sensory overload on every level. If anyone is going for the first time - my only recommendation would be - 'Do dress up' and get there mega early. I could go on bu you really need to experience this first hand and not have it spoilt. N4eay - I presume you were there the years they ran the Renault Espace with the Benetton (I think) Formula One engine up the hill - Pure brillance !! Anyone been to Chris Evans Car Fest I think it is ? How does it compare ?

If i can make it, i will be with the Jap crowd as my German number will be in the body shop having a new coat sprayed on !!! Talking of weddings - yours ? Is that this year or next ?

Matt - How many weddings are you attending this year ?? Sure you have one to attend on the 1st as well Going to be an expensive year for you !! I can't commit to taking over/helping on this one at the moment, will let you know if anything changes.

Move out of Glasgow ?? !!! North Oxfordshire is good for Insurances Sorry can't be more helpful !!! Good Luck

Saw this in FB, loving that Golf !!!

Sadly in life we all sometimes get caught, agreeing to something to regret it later. Bad enough your wheels being damaged, but the brakes - that is not excusable and frankly very dangerous. Don't be fobbed off with your wheels. though either. Personally I would also never use an main dealer either, people who call cars old dogs once a vehicle reaches 3 years old is not going to show due care and attention to my car. I know you did not use a main dealer. I have just had my rear pads and discs replaced - and they are spot on. I do however wish Zedshed was closer !!!

Brilliant !! I hope you told her - the table on the back of the car - was for the mid way picnic !!!

Does not sound too good, although I do not personally have experience of a window problem to be able to advise further. Do your folks by chance have camera's on the house you can face to view your car. As another precaution you could buy a crock lock. I know they are easily broken but work well as another deterrent.

Ogman hi, Yes, I believe it is, as I had to confirm I could get in with my Corrado which is only 19 years old, and attending with the others who are older !!! I will keep an eye out for the Series 3 E Type - beautiful machines, so hope I see it. It looks to be a packed weekend of events, I am looking forward to it, but not the 8am meet up we are doing. !!

Rob, Update i Heard - Some of the music has been cancelled. So I would just check the website before treking over to Coventry. I think all the car related items are enough to make it worth a visit !!

Thought I would post up about an event that I am going to on Saturday. It looks to me like it should be good and although it is leaned towards the petrolhead I think it should be good in its overal entertainment value for all the family and its free. Have a look.. there are loads of other pages, this was my favourite though !! https://coventrymotofest.com/content/motosport I can't suggest a meet, as I am already joining a few guys, so if you spot a few Corrado's together, one is likley to be mine. Do say Wave/Say Hi though. No, the event has nothing to do with me ........just sharing !!

I have all the companies I work for - registered with TPS. The only problem is you have to renew it annually. It does work well reducing massively the volume of calls. Any that do still get through -just tell them you are with TPS an they will hang up. I now tell them this whether registered with TPS or not.

Andrew - what have you done ?? !!!! Jap to German - welcome to my world. Does sound like a lot of car for the money mind. Enjoy. Spotted the number plate - ready for the wedding hey ? As I am 3 minutes from Wasso - surely small meet is in order at a nearby pub ?

Andy - I am only 5 minutes into the video. Agree, excellent positioning, great camera work. Fantastic work - thank you. Pics of my car ........and it sounds great - fantastic stuff. It's really nice to hear the sounds of them - especially under throttle. Now if only I could spend every weekend like that !!

How much later !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whew !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought the teaser at lunch time ish was bad enough :lol: Guess he is ensuring all our cars are featured, so not to upset anyone - hint hint !!!
