Aye, it was a very well broken in third gear by then. PMSL.

I was there that night Little Miss WRX was baptised in Chat.
Indeed, slightly more catchy than MichelleWRX1994. Who's registration date is alas no longer 10/03/2001 but 03/10/2001 due to the wierd switch.

Thanks Sal (PM replied to), but I don't get anything if I hover over my username or via the other route you suggested.

I am missing some scoobynetness (gnashing of teeth). 4085 Seems funny as registration date is right I think so why are later joiners in the desirable 3 figure territory?

BTW are there any double digit or gasp single digit heroes on here (or still alive) ?

Meets in Church Crookham when Moe (TopCat) scared me white!! And then the locals with pitchforks were after him!

First meeting Moe at Scoobysport (RIP) and convincing him to spend over £400, rather than the £40 he planned to spend!!

First meeting Nito at the pub in Farnbrough and him asking me if I was on AOL a couple years previously! Internet car geeks unite!

Various meets in Bagshot, Church Crookham, Fleet/Farnborough and even organising the odd Surrey Meet based at Cobham!

The user numbers aren't exactly accurate, due to some new software/re-loading back in the early days, which re-ordered things a bit. I was originally user number 3, then 20 for a while, and now 173 or something like that.

Yup, Teenmachine was called Laura, as was NoAngel, which caused no end of confusion in Chat when they were both on at the same time. God that was a fair few years ago.

As for (l)user ID, hmm, looks lke mine is 673, and the "registered" date looks accurate, though I think I might have been lurking before that. Would love to find my first post (and no, it wasn't about jacking up the car to fit locking wheelnuts, that came later )

Oh, and poetry, who could forget my muppet poetry

" & where's Banshi?"

Oh, still around despite the advancing years. Autumn is great all those long nights I don’t have to crawl back to the coffin so early.

Just wondering was every Scoobynet member at the Children in Need Day? Had a few laps in a subsequently infamous 22B but missed on the Westie when the turbo went pop the lap before I was due in the passenger seat.

Called everyone we could think of for a replacement and never got the run. I still have that Pudsey Bear sticker just in case John!

Sitting here quietly reminiscing about runs. trackdays, meets, bouncy castles. camping, banger racing. Excluding the Phil and Martin incident, surely the grass was truly greener then.

Jason,
You should come along to the 'Ring again and experience the new Cossie - it will blow your mind... 450bhp and TRACTION plus the ability to outbrake anything (water-cooled WRC AP 6-pots on 380mm discs and Titanium pistoned ex-works 4-pots on the back!).

lol
they were the good times.. saying that tho.. telling ppl (and the new girl friends father) the story of the time i survived a 105mph smash after coming off on 'Craner' or 'CRAINER' (SP) still makes me sound a real track veteran.. lol... but really it was not funny tho for Martin or me. I'm now the worlds worse passenger, in quick cars!!!.... well even a quick Smart makes me feel un easy!
Went go karting on saturday... with the same 'lid' Helmet and showed off the 'war' wound chips on it and slight scratches to Jo my new girlfriend... she look very impressed lol

I owe u - I was supposed to be sitting there
There again I had to tell his wife which doesn't even make us even.

Me either, Charity Banger Racing!!

****king Carcraft pulled out, none of the promised support or cars - seven days to go one car & no rollcages.

Jap Innovations contributed a yard and a couple of cars, MTR contibuted his kids to strip motors (u sure they're not Scousers Martin), Mr X drove up from the smoke with his spanners, Bob T begged a Disco and others "borrowed" trailers the wonderful Mrs Craft and the rest of the gang doing sterling work round the skips, a certain party with his personaly engraved Granny, the Metro Master and Old Smokey Joe Felstead himself.

Just one complaint on the night. Someone who unusually arrived on time didn't like the colour of her car! We just ran a book on whether she could get lost on an oval

Some community m8, pass another box of Kleenex (no not for the usual reason) just a tear in these old eyes.

That was a hell of an achievement Barry, gobsmacked you pulled it off to be honest.

If anyone fancies a laugh, i have the video of the race hosted on my website, its a bit slow downloading but worth it for the laugh. The race was billed as "non contact" That lasted about 2 seconds. Didnt one of the drivers end up with broken ribs?

John, you're a hero, I lost that video when my old PC died, glad to see it again.

Neil broke a rib IIRC, all my fault (sort of) - he lost his Metro in front of me and I couldnt avoid him, so nudged him head on into the barrier - oops

Banshi,
The kids are trainee scousers, but are really struggling getting the accent correct.

But they seemed to quickly master the technique of 'remove anything, even if it is bolted down'.
The trouble is now non of my neighbours has any wheels on their cars. Ha Ha.

(only joking, no offence meant to any law abiding scousers)

Cheers
MTR

It's difficult to overtake someone who is already on the proper lines, it means you have to unsettle the car on the wrong lines to overtake and also you must wait until you feel sure they have seen you....

Can you mail me the clip?
