Guest WALFY Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 All well and good. But have you met people on here you wished you hadn't. Say Ginger people for instance :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Just like two sheds,I don't know anyone and no one knows me. In fact I'm not sure I really exist. I may just be a figment of my own imagination. Bill, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSi110 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I've never met any of you, apart from JSG. And I wouldn't recommend anyone trying to spot my ugly mug. I'm irrelevant. Ralph's appeared in a few photo's on this forum, I've noticed, yet his facial features are never identifiable. Maybe he's the LR4x4 version of the Milk Tray man - always silhouetted yet never identified... I'm not convinced I'd be of interest to any of you. I'm a boring, antisocial sod and quite proud of it.

Turbocharger Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Although it is only really noticable in certain light. ... daylight. I know various people on here from living up north, in the Southwest and being a tight student willing to drive hundreds of miles to avoid paying list price for cheap bits which subsequently break and cost me more than new in the long term. Various members of the Southwest crew, Horsham lot, and I've met Will Warne too. The first time I think someone was looking at his welding, actually. Oh, and Dave Lovejoy is my dad.

JSG Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I met BigSi at Billing, I've met Mr Hobbit at his birthday party and a couple of shows, I've also met Exmoor Beast, Pugwash and a couple of others in Devon. I've also met Mark90, Les and Diesel Jim. And probably a few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Having been around this place (and its previous incarnations) for nigh on 7 years, I have had oppotunity to meet a good few members... as a fringe member of the Horsham crew, I know them quite well... I know a fair few of the west country crew, White90, Hobbit, JST, western, etc... and have done some events with Shires club members. Been to Bures and done a few events/laning days with Kent Off Road Club too - a number of which post on here. Have sat around a fire discussing VW's with Fridge at Slindon, parterned up with DarthDicky and Jon for seven siters, and have sold bits or bought stuff from Nige, Turbocharger, Moglite, Jez and any number of other random forumeers.. The best way to meet up is go to one of chris's laning weekends, or a challenge event, or pretty much any of the events advertised in Getting out there.... There is usually a good forum attendance. Strangely, there are a good number of people on here that I have never met in person but have chatted with on PM or whatever, and would still consider them friends. Is that odd? Oh, Orange is my brother too, so I guess I have known him a little while too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumpy2268 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 All well and good. But have you met people on here you wished you hadn't. Say Ginger people for instance :D :D As I live within physical abuse range, I cannot possibly comment. Hoping to meet a few faces on the plain in a couple of weeks, and at 7S in September. As a fellow Stumpy, perhaps I should meet yostumpy too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
