Tom, I treid to reply to your mail and it said that the address didnt exist

Well guys, do I take it from the lack of response that it aint going ahead? Seeing as how there are only 4 of us interested in quasar it seems pointless doing that, but drinks are still a possibility.


this is exactly why it was in general gassing, at least people read it in there

I guess shootemup is not quite petrolhead enough. I know I'd rather be driving and chatting.


everyone seemed enthusiastic enough at the last meet.

The Talpore, for those who don't know it, is located at the Tees Barrage, just off the A66 at stockton.

Guess I'm just reacting to seeing my favourite web site turning into a chat room for people who only have a passing interested in cars. Well nothing lasts for ever.


I think that's a bit harsh, so long as it's a bunch of petrolheads doing something as a group, sureley the activity doesn't matter that much?
And as for the forum becoming a chat-room for people with only a passing interest in cars, I think you know that just ain't true.


Agreed, I may only drive a 1.2 corsa, and know next to nothing about cars other than where to put appropriate fluids (even oil ), does this count as a passing interest? I know what I like the look of, the sound of, and what I would like to drive and also the reverse of those things. From the guys I have met at the PH meets so far, I certainly wouldnt say Chris with his highly polished TVR has just a passing interest, nor Tom with his Mini, and certainly not Ian 'doughnutboy' wedg1e.

It was made as a suggestion against simply sitting in the pub discussing what has fallen off your car since the last meet, but if everyone wants to do the same old thing every time then fine, but seeing as how the turnout is never spectaculr, I would say that that isn't actually all that popular, at least not in the northeast, anyway.

Every other area has a good turn out for meets, some becoming infamous. We have 6 people sat in the cock of the north moaning about who has come the furthest and jumping at the window everytime a car enters the car park. Rivetting.
