Damn is this thread still going!! I would would drive down from t'North myself to swell the numbers if I could guys! Oh well hope you enjoy yourselves anyway and lots of pictures please

Yeah ok looks nice even in white!! But the point is I suppose even if I had £75K to spend on a car I would'nt !! A lot of nice tin out there for a lot less money!

Well the rumours are going round its Vauxhall but nothing concrete so it may not be?

I'm just never gonna live that down am I!! Just to confirm I'm no shirt /skirt or anything else lifter! I saw the evidence, you are definitely a skirt lifter (and on a newly married woman as well) Oi!! Thats what you get for being a gentleman - bleedin' Tilly and her camera of the gutter press!!

Neither of those - as I mentioned a few week ago - look at Autotrader - you can get a nice older Astons for a lot less cash!! Ok they are expensive to run but take them to an independant garage and cut your bills - get Mobil e1 from Costco and your off ... 2006 Vantage £39K http://pictures.autotrader.co.uk/imgser ... =868426128 1997 DB7 £19K http://pictures.autotrader.co.uk/imgser ... =866163830 2007 DB9 £45K http://pictures.autotrader.co.uk/imgser ... =869013140

I think the term used Stew is "A pressed fruit bowl" And Colin i am not worried about the skirt lifting its the shirt lifting i am worried about Exactly what I was thinking! I'll keep my Kilt firmly down though....... Stan can be very determined............you have been warned I'm just never gonna live that down am I!! Just to confirm I'm no shirt /skirt or anything else lifter!

Most likely vauxhall on merseyside or jag? Can probably find out this afternoon have contacts who work at vauxhall - poor sods

Thanks for the info Lexx. I see a lot of people have fond memories of being on or in lumps of steel splashing about on water..... unfortunately i dont have sea legs and feel dizzy just getting off an escalator!!! I guess its more about the characters you work with in that line of work......

Yikes Its scarey .their kids lifes in their parents hands!...but I have noticed that Picasso's, Scenic and Ford Galaxy drivers seem to think they are invincible!! I think the French ones are made from plastic so weigh sod all and are actually quite quick off the mark! What about Smart car drivers they must be revving the ar** off on the motorway - god help them if they need to stop in a hurry!! Thought you were going to say there was a police camera car of something that got you at 130mph!

Never heard of that one. But I did sail on Sealands D9J class which were first generation boxboats built in the late 70's. They all had underdeck lashings. Though at somepoint theyd had the sense to retrofit cellguides. The old lashing system was still down there rusting away though. Stan - Most companies run "dry" ships now. No rum. And as for interesting places.........one container terminal in the middle of nowhere looks very much like another container terminal in the middle of nowhere. Only the language of the stevadores, and the standard of the pilot/tugs change. We were lucky if we got 12 hours in port when I was still deep sea! And Id be working a minimum of 6 of those! Understand mate its a bit like when you say your IT contracting and your in Milan one week then Norway the next then Paris - yeah great - but the only thing you see is airport lounges, buses,taxis and insides of boring offices working late every night! Not the life for me! What are lashings btw?? Not something pirates would do then?

Doh!! Look what I've started!!! Could be worse you lot at least you get to move around and see interesting places and wear thick jumpers and drink rum!! Look at my environment! Industry standard workwear !

Here is my boat fitted with Nismo Torpedos and Falken props! ..........just kidding ...........sorry

Nathan have you started your own mobile phone business! Iphone one minute Nokia the next!

Dont know if I should throw up or take a bite - I am starved at the mo !!

to the forum Hannah Hey I had heard we had some flooding in this country but pic 4 is a bit extreme!! Nice Zed btw hope you can make it to some of the meets

Yep, should be applauded! I like to pass on half used pay-and-display tickets, some people look shocked! Same here mate - they either think your going to mug them or sell them something! The smile in return is more than worth it though! A bit of common curtosey goes a long way - unfortunately its getting very rare should'nt be as it does'nt cost anything does it!! :bunny: :bunny: :bunny: (sorry from another thread!!)

Actually that pancake looks tastey I am starved!

Bleeding 'ell Zedrush - I want what your on mate!! Only got crap works coffee here!

ooer steady on!! All this flashing will give the club a bad name! Next you lot will be discussing the best colour flasher macs!!

No its not new but at the risk of being an old fart I dont get that one - whats it mean then?

Ha ha ha This is funny!! We are currently trying to learn French for our holls in a few months - I can bung ya my Michel Thomas CD's if that helps!! Only 8 of them! Maybe your Sub woofer is possed!! Michel thomas will scare the demon from your subwoofer !!Ooooh thats a scary scrubbing brush on his head is'nt it!!!

Nice one Bronzee Nice little story there - good to hear not everyone is self centred! Keep smiling folks...

hope things pick up for you soon matey? Bellway homes have a big development near me but they went bust think Elan has taken over....all new posters and fancy flags on show but no takers or building on site. Thng to do i guess is to try to ride out the storm as best we can. Things will pick up its just a question of time. I am on a weird situation where its costing me to get to work so much its worth my while taking a pay cut but getting somewhere closer to home! May i put a suggestion forward? We can all help each other out here on the club why not a seperate section advertising our area of expertise and so on? Nothing too formal or detailed that way we can pm someone with specifics so keeping things private. But would'nt you trust someone from the club rather than an unknown from yellow pages ? What does everyone (mods) think? For example i fit flooring and do bespoke stained glass windows and have a van that i can use if you just need stuff shifting for example? I also have a cement mixer if people want to hire it?
