Davectr Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 What a great read, although I was somewhat surprised at the point he states his ripe old age of 35! I mean, come on, really - it made me feel even older than the 10+ years I have on him 😄 So, to answer the question, yes keep them coming 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsNiki Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Must admit I was surprised at the 35 bit haha! Some of his posts on here elude to 'grumpy old man' status But what a great, well written article! No waffle, easy to read and will reach out to all audiences! If all future blogs/articles are as good as this then you are on to a winner 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Mucho respect to Grundy for making such an awesome site, I feel privileged to be a part of it and hope you guys enjoy reading as much as I did writing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherlockH Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Yeah great read, I like going to meet just never know anyone there and don't ever fancy just going up to groups of people that probably known each other for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Exactly what I did. Granted, I knew Grundy and StevoD from on here, but you never really know what people will be like in real life. Luckily everyone I chatted with was awesome, even folks I'd never met before, and people on other stands were so friendly as well. I felt bad walking past one guy who had clearly bought enough food to feed an army, giving away freshly cooked burgers, but I was so stuffed to eat that I couldn't fit anything else in! I'd actually argue that the Jap scene is the friendliest one I know, or certainly on a par with the Lotus one. That's very high praise indeed. Never be afraid to go and start a conversation.p, you'd be surprised at how many folks are willing to chat about card for hours on end to complete strangers Edited November 27, 2015 by Ekona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Great write up Dan and on a nice looking website too. I'm around the same age as you Dan and tbh I don't think I'll ever stop modifying my cars. True I'm not doing anything much with my current car the CTR (other than I've painted the calipers black & added a new gear gaiter) but I'm just biding my time till my next car which I'm hoping will be something a bit more special, ...like my supercharged Zed was to me.

Jetpilot Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Got to say Grundy, I totally admire your dedication and enthusiasm I have not been into the scene since Vw (beetles etc) days back in the late 80's, early 90's and bike scene mid 90's. Quite a different era as there was no internet to speak of, the only chance you got to see cars was at shows or magazines, always used to come back full of ideas you had seen at shows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robchriscross Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 If your a car enthusiast it never leaves you take my old man for example who is solely responsible for my love of cars in the 80s always had a xr3i or rs turbo on the drive and has had his current vectra gsi for 14 years at 68 I'd forgive him for getting something sensible and economical but called round yesterday to find him sat in a 64 plate focus st3 estate in white looking very smug, I said are you happy with it his response was once he wears the tyres down the wheels will be getting coated black enough said really 😆 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Honestly wasn't expecting this kind of attention But thank you for your comments guys, the general verdict has been pretty positive. So Kudos to Dan for a great read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
