Speak for yourself.... As the (major) contributor to this particular thread I take particular care to avoid racist, sexist or sectarian comment. If I have inadevertently offended anyone by doing so I, too, apologise. Also I avoid swearing - or at least I 'asterisk' it - any joke that relies on it should be consigned to a Jongleurs stand-up comic, not an open Forum. Spec K

Any south east members fancy trying the longest indoor karting track in the UK..? Capital Karting, main A13 at Dagenham, only 15 mins from Dartford Tunnel/M25. See website. If there's 16 or more of us we can do a special deal.... it can be an evening, weekend, whatever.... I's suggest early June but it's open to suggestions... .... and, for Youtube fanatics, you can hire a camera helmet and it will be streamed.... will you risk it...? heh... 1. Spec K 2.

A German lorrry driver in a Newcastle pub is gobbing off about how lazy British truck drivers are. He's bragging that he drives his load from Hamburg, goes through Holland, Belgium, up to Newcastle and back to Hamburg in two days. This old Geordie man mutters "Ah, way-ay, man.... I used to pick up me load in Newcastle, drop off in Hamburg and be back in Newcastle for a fish and chip supper the same day" The gobby German trucker retorts " Oh ja? vot rig were you driving zen? Scania, Mercedes, vot? After taking a long swig of his pint of Newcastle Brown Ale the old fella replies : " Naw, man ......... a Lancaster ! "

Yeah - but I have an excuse. The clocks went forward. Spec K

Hi all, Rob has bribed me to meet him at the Grasshopper on Saturday lunchtime... merely to get hold of Nigel's strut brace and borrow the marquee... .. if anyone local fancies a meet over this incredibly boring weekend it's a possible... ... say 12.30 - 2.00pm ish? Spec K

As I am - I believe - the first person to put their name down on the customer list (and confirmed) .. ... I shall let you know..... Spec K

There's a few of us in the Essex area. Twin rear boxes? Have a look at Hayward & Scott. Not far from you (Basildon) and Kritstov bought mine off me, loves it.. Musketeer was threatening to organise an Essex meet soon... Spec K

Remapping? Nowt to worry about, Nige... Adrian's back in a fortnight. Oh....sorry, he's got a weeks work on remapping mine.... ..... bwahaha !! (evil grin..) Spec K

Chris - take no notice of these young antsy hopefuls. (Apart for Mus... he's 25, going on 70....) Go drive in six weeks ... feel... bring your experiences into the mix... juices will flow... ferwd is unique to our age group.... my first was an MG Midget, what was yours? .. and, if you and the missus can make Blyton Park on 26th April (with or without your newbie) come up and say hello.. Spec K

Uhoh.... just spotted this... Don't live to regret it.... Lauren will ring its neck.. Spec K

I have responded to your post dated 21 March regarding the 'Silk Blaze Rear Wing' you are offering for sale at $499.95 I have asked a question - <quote> You state that this "..increases downforce..". Can you prove this, please. <unquote> I await an answer. Spec K

Good to meet you guys yesterday and rubberneck the metal.... (and in Rob's case the plastic..). Gremlin's TRD looks pretty neat and I love his numberplate.. Lots of witty banter, some good ideas for future meets and a yellow peril to chase home on the M25... life doesn't get any better than that.. Spec K

No, I didn't do them myself. Both my rear light clusters had to be replaced under warranty (condensation) so I asked the Toyo dealer to replace the bulbs with the T20 chrome ones, doing the fronts at the same time. They couldn't get them in. So Fensport tried next time the car was there, they came to the same conclusion. Spec K

If it's a hybrid it will have sparkling performance... ... bring it on! Spec K

Nick - all BMW drivers under the age of 30 have been brain-cell exorcised... hip hop/garage/funk/reggae music at 120decibels has this effect.. This has been a public service announcement. No animals were harmed in the making of this statement although you may hear some BMW drivers squealing... Spec K

I have T20 chrome bulbs. The 'make' is XTEC. As mentioned above they don't fit.... the Toyo dealers would not install them as they were too tight for the sockets. Spec K

Excellent, dude! A small word of advice - if your plans include f/i in the future think carefully about installing a 3inch exhaust system from scratch. Saves a lorra lorra money... Spec K

Heated seats are a 'must have'. Easing away the discomfort of arthritis is sheer bliss... there should be additional wiring for a Thai massuese, in my opinion... (... as they allegedly say in Thailand - "if you no have a loom, we can do it in the load..." ) Spec K

Okay... I've just knackered myself getting this lot in to my car.... there's not a weaver's chance of getting it into a GT86 !! Rob, you will need help to get this put up... make sure you wear a truss.... Spec K

Okay - I will aim to be Croydon M23 North at, say, 11.45am? Is there a petrol station or anything close where we can meet? (For erection problems go to www.surfturf.co.uk, there's a video on how to get it up. This is a Protex2 6mx3m... oooer, missus...) Spec K

Rob, it's not just the marquee (which measures 160cm x 50cm x 35cm in its carrier). You've got the sides (in a medium size suitcase) and the weights (four plastic water containers in a box 50cm x 50cm x 30cm). If you measure the GT86 clearance between boot floor and top scuttle, will it accept 35cm high? The weights can go on your passenger seat, suitcase should not be a problem once the marquee is in.. (I can't measure mine....sob...) Spec K

I'll be there about 12.30ish..... .... thinking about it, I'm not so sure now that the marquee will fit in Rob's GT86, so I may have to freight it home for him.. Rob, would it be better if we met up beforehand and you guided me to your pad? Mebbe meet at an M25 turnoff? Last time I got completely lost - and that was with satnav, there's no such luxury in the tonka toy.. Spec K

Rob - you're right as far as Snetterton entries are concerned. Javelin were fully booked, Colin even mentioned at briefing that it looked as though for the first time he was going to break even on Sprint costs... Even though the clocks had gone forward an hour there could have still been time for a play at the end if the weather hadn't scuppered the timing... oh, and a car scuppered the timing board, haha... I still like the idea of us doing our own trackday... Spec K

.... make that two colleagues, Nigel.. much as I love the GPRM version its cost is, err..... (gulp) Spec K

Concurrence. ... or is W8 DEJ / W11 DEJ available..? Spec K
