I want to put this picture in. I know it has the guard on the front, but without coming over too cocky, I think it looks beautiful

Is that the m reg one? Looks nice though, still think a H reg is showing how old these cars are now and how for infront they were for the begining of the 90s

Yeah, checked and its 1994.
so what we have here is the first and the last model I suppose

Just wondering, why has the H plate got a different number plate design on the front?

Hhhmmm I looked into this in great depth and apparently it make a car more photogenic for magazines etc so that's why lol. EEG we both want it don't we lol

haha i know mate, not everyday you get this opportunity!

We're are you based Dave ?

To be fair it collude be either of us as there's a chance one of our cars will break something before the end of the month lol

Well Darren, if you break something between now and then you can always come and borrow parts off my car, providing you put them back as they were after   
If your ever in a desperate situation were you've got something planned and you suddenly need a part ASAP I don't mind you borrowing what you need from my car, providing I haven't got anything planned at the time with my car that is   

Cheers bill same from me. Handy sometimes if you have a suspect faulty part

Midlands, near derby, how about you?

Sounds like you are close to us Dave, me and Darren live in Nottinghamshire near Mansfield (he lives just up the road from me). Derby is not far at all

So a good treck for both of us then

If i get it are you coming for the ride bill?

Don't think I'll be ready in time with my R, I'm waiting for some bits coming from america (if they ever turn up lol) so I doubt I will be sorted by the end of the month. I would have liked to come along for the ride though, maybe even try and sneak my car into a background shot

i live in between newark and grantham so were all not far

Sounds like there are a few R's in the midlands area then

Just come with me in mine. Mind you might not be the chosen one yet lol

..........and their was me thinking it was all about the cars not the various clubs  ...........the cleanest totally standard R I think I've seen is Kens, if it was just about the cars and not the clubs would it really matter what club forums he's registered with, do you not think the owners that frequent your forums are not registered and use any of the other R based forums. Hey Ho....Anyway which ever R's are used enjoy and hope the day goes well.

hi steve
yep kens car is the best without a shadow of doubt but hes in Ireland lol.
the two cars over here are both in great stock condition and ideal for the shoot so  no problem there with car selection from members over here and think they are both on the oc anyway.

the mag contacted myself personally with regard to gtir us supplying a good car for the shoot and said they would give us and gtir motorsport club a write up too for sorting them out with a car which obviously is free advertising so I would be crazy to say 'well go to gtiroc as they have good cars' and lose the free advertising which is why I wanted it to stay in house so to speak.

the comments shouldn't have been written (only just noticed them) as busy with other stuff lately which will become apparent to everyone soon so il remove those posts regarding the clubs.
im trying to stay on top of things but glad you brought it to my attention as never noticed the remarks.
yes the shoot will be very good and great for the cars fullstop and hopefully may increase their stature as a true classic and maybe will be reflected in future values too which would be fantastic news for all owners no matter which forums they are using.

Hi Bob

ha ha, no worries mate, I wasn't having a pop, I just picked up on Leightons remark that was all LOL....Darrens remark about "keeping it under our hat" was funny as well (seems to have been deleted lol), Darren this is the internet mate, nothings a secret LOL

Yes Bob, from an advertising point of view, you'd be bonkers not to take full advantage of the opportunity, go for it...

Steve

Yep we opened up the site after our last chat steve so a good half of the forum is available for guests to read, and as you rightly say......nothings secret on the net.












anyway ive just emailed over the pics of dave and darrens cars so all will be revealed shortly. so good luck to both of you and may the best car win lol
don't go topping yourself though (or scrap your car) if yours isn't selected   

Im sure he wont lol

hahahaha!!!

My comment wasnt slating other forums just a fact that we have a large member base with decent enough pulsars from bog standard to silly power .... so was not an intentional dig to the oc .... anybody who  knows  me knows im not like that  so my apologies steve if it come across that way ...
