Any more for any more. I know there's a clash with Bluewater but some of you closer to this neck of the woods must be up for JAPS. So that's: 1) Zee 2) Chris 3) John 4) Ifraz !!! Hey guys, you must be intimating the others with your motors! Hmmm,

Slope

Well it's safe to say I created an impression :duh: I still blush/cringe/blush when I think about it. I've either blown any chance of getting a promotion or vastly improved them! Maria, we could be a dangerous combination ;)

You can either pre-pay today to benefit from £2 off the price of a ticket (numbers higher up in the thread) or pay on the day. Once I've got the names of those wanting to go (COME ON PEEPS ;) ), I'll take your reg numbers and send them to the organiser. It's not strictly necessary though as you can just turn up on the day, say you're with LOC and you'll be directed to the right place.

That's a shame - never mind, next time! Is your friend still wanting to come along?

Sorry to hear that. If he's spouted a correct road etc, sounds as though he's probably local. You might get lucky, spot him and be able to find out his address. If he knows you know where he lives, he might be more willing to cough up.

Well I keep trying to convert BMW drivers to see the errors of their ways and get a Lexus. So no, it's not Lexus drivers, it's ex-BMW drivers - tee, hee, hee

Bingo

Start my new job and was quite keen to impress. I had a meeting with my new boss about a project that I had to do. Talking about the nitty gritty he said "I wouldn't worry too much about that, it can get quite anal". To which I replied "Oh, don't worry about that I'm good at anal". . . . Stunned silence ensued whilst I went beetroot red, stuttered and stammered a bit before I beat a hasty retreat out of his office. :o :o :o

To resurrect this thread, we now have (thanks to Altezza Scott), 2 indoor display areas. So far we have in one: 1) Zee 2) Chris Shipley 3) Altezza Scott 4) Altezza Scott's mate So, there are another 4 indoor spaces available and this is now opened up to non-goldies. Please post here if you are interested. There is plenty of display space outside also for LOC, so don't be put off if you don't think you'll get an indoor space. It would be nice to get a range of models, so step forward GS, LS and RX owners too :D Details of the event are as follows: SUNDAY 4th APRIL - INDOOR JAPS The event is at NAC Stoneleigh Park near Coventry, Sunday 4th April from 10am-4pm. There are plenty of spaces outside to display the rest of the Club cars so the more the merrier. Advance tickets available until Fri 26th - £6 each - call 01484 452002, after that it's £8 on the gate

Next year and camping for me!

The Heritage Motor Centre is situated in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, in 63 acres of parkland and lies 12 miles from Shakespeare's Stratford upon Avon and 9 miles from the historic town of Warwick. The Centre is just two minutes from junction 12 of the M40 and is signposted on the motorway. Birmingham International Airport is just half an hour away, with the nearest railway station being Royal Leamington Spa. http://www.heritage.org.uk/loca.htm

Can I have a drive when you do get it!!!!!!! Or at least a passenger ride?!?!?!

Not this year Dave, Kieran's staying with my in-laws. I thought if I was worrying about keeping him changed, fed and watered, I wouldn't be able to help much on the day. We may go to Gaydon in a few weeks time to take him to see the cars. He's a real car fanatic already, although it's a bone of contention that he can say Honda before Lexus!!!

Nowt, not a bean, so far

Glad you did matey, I'd rather that than risk missing something ;) My mate rang me up earlier to say he's going up to Gaydon with the TVR lot as well, looks as though it's going to be jammed packed! Are you coming along?

As you've got a photo you stand a good chance of recouping some, if not all, of your costs I'd imagine. Good luck!

Break

Loaded

My in-laws have got an older CRV - they're quality cars!

Plus the other car clubs descending on Gaydon There's us, TOC, Honda-R, Land Rovers and one other club. We get the lions share of the spaces though! :D

Next year I'd be up for this. I'm broke after buying my GS and I'm now away for work from the 12 - 16 June.

Yes, you're right we should have paid to reserve the parking, but thanks to Emma there we've not had to this time around. Next year we'll probably have to... I know they have refurbed the museum etc and the week after our meet is their launch with Murray Walker officially opening it. Shame we weren't able to get booked in then!

Black looks reaaalllly good, just needs to be well looked after to keep it that way! BMW paint has surely got to be better/more hard wearing than the poster paint they use at Lexus ?!?!?

I think everyone is entitled to an opinion, but sometimes you have to have a long hard think about what is likely to cause offence. If you're talking about personal experiences rather than tarnishing everyone in that mould then fair enough - but this thread seems more inflammatory than informed! Personally, I owe the medical profession a lot. Without it, my pre-cancerous cells could have/would have turned into the big 'C' and also, it's unlikely I'd have had a family. Are there failings in the medical profession? Yes, at times. My dad suffers a crippling, debilitating bone disability that should have been picked up 20 years before it was diagnosed and by then it was too late to do anything to slow down the damage. It's robbed me of my youthful, active father and my son of the activities a grandad normally engages in. But guess what, that's life. Doctors aren't *** and diseases don't always play by the book and aren't always easy to pick up. We could be bitter and some days we are, but life has a lot to offer and you either choose to be a victim or you're dragged kicking and screaming to the grave. I know which way I want to go and if medical intervention helps me achieve that, then Hallelujah and thank the good Lord!!!
