you can down load OC cards from the forum.
when you spot another like minded dude or dudess parked up whip out wait for it a newly printed card with your forum name and put it under the wiper.

WE Need more members!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
which will then lead to more meets and runs and even hopefully more days :oops: sorry weekends like the one i have just been on prodrive :P :P wowwwwwww!!!!!!!!!

get carding and hopefully you to can bring some newbies to the club.

Yes. Got a heavy cold and finding it hard to concentrate on work so amused myself for a few minutes. Also did a couple on another thread.

Strato Blue on ITV last night.
It was pretty well kitted out and had a cool spoiler and wheels on it.

The sound though was more V8ish than Wankelish.

I think member Wolverine was driving it and had some teens in the back.

They also had mutant sort of powers and were listening to Boyzone or something... then they took the CD out and got a phone instead.

Cool :-)
I sold the RX-8, I got a Volvo.

What's wrong with me?! :-(

Was it just a prototype? It looked very much like the finished item. The stereo fascia was pretty much the one we have, and the rest too. Will probably review the clip frame by frame.
