lets get this party started!

[Johnboy]

Hi chap

No problem ,we all know this is the place for the classics

[stuartieboy]

the intent on setting up this forum by shrewbedoo and myself was never to be a direct challenge to AO, they cover far too many differing lounges for us to even want to compete, but we just wanted to get the old feeling back.....
shrew and myself always agreed, and argued until blue in the face with AO staff, that it's the members who make a forum. NOT the staff.
so this little corner of the world was talked about and the hard work started, but we were determined that it would happen and not fall by the wayside as other great ideas can.

if you guys want to fall out with AO then who am I to say don't, but we will be here for as long as we are able to be so there's no harm in belonging to both. we don't own you, exclusively or otherwise, but as far as getting "the feeling" that we aimed for i can say on mine and shrews' behalf.....

THANKS GUYS

In absence of a 'like' button like wot FaceBook has, consider this post 'liked'!!

Have you two thought about such a button?

Well, we can pee standing up, read maps, we know our left and right........

Barbecues!! We can do them!
Open jars....... We can do all sorts of stuff. We're generally like Swiss Army knives....
We can probably hold ours better, and can even write our names in the snow!
Thanks for the smiley!

[Joe1968]

Ok .. so ill give you the read a map and know left from right ..

However .. us women can use a washing machine correctly and not turn everything grey or brown .. use a tumble dryer with out shrinking clothes that would end up fitting a small child .. we can cook with out burning food .... we can iron clothes in a fraction of the time of that of a man .. ...

And some of us know more about cars than most men.. can service their car .. know how to remove a gear box on their drive ways ... and know where to get cheap car parts ...

all those womanly tasks jo, you're not doing a lot to promote femininity

apart from the car bits of course

[stuartieboy]

I was going to point out that most of your argument was kitchen based.........

[Joe1968]

I suppose I am a little bit sexist .. I do believe that men and women are better at certain things .. so I dont mind ...

[Alfasixnut]

Just like to say again a big "THANK YOU" to Kev and Shrew - this website is getting better and better!

[Johnboy]

Yep totally agree! It's defo reignited the passion to get the 33 back on the road

[KevJTD]

Can't wait to start resurrecting the 33! Measured where it's going to live yesterday , so I could visualise it . As fringes crossed it will be a working garage
Will have to do a garage build thread for the time being

[Markgq4]

thanks to John for letting me know where everyone had got to .... was a big surprise to go on ao and find the usual suspects had all gone !
didn't think you could have all defected to another manufacturer ...

[Johnboy]

hi mark
Welcome aboard

What cars you got now ?

[Markgq4]

hi john. not so many now ..
a 155 8v breaking for spares .. anyone? lol
my Q4 has just gone on that ebay ... :/
an Uno T mk1 work in progress
and the s3 ti project which I haven't touched for over 12 months

your garage is looking good matey

[Johnboy]

Sad the q4 is going Sud sounds interesting tho . Best start a build thread
Yeah the garage is getting there. Should have all the insulation and plaster boarding done this weekend , then paint and sort out the extraction
. then I can bring the 33 home

[ALFAMACK]

So this is where you all went to!
With this, Alfa-pages and the site that seems not to be mentioned on here, I'll never get any work done.
Same history as before, I've had one Alfa, a S3 33 16 Cloverleaf, not unlike the one Kev got going in his thread, in fact the reg of mne was H975VGK!

[Johnboy]

Welcome aboard chap
What you driving now?

[ALFAMACK]

Sadly I'm in a golf and the mrs won't entertain the thought of me getting something for myself but I will persevere and get one eventually, and it will have to be the S3 16V again. Loved that car.

[Johnboy]

Yeah saw what your driving on the AO
Yes you need a boxer 16v in your life ! It's the way forward

[PETROLHEAD]

Oh indeed, the ONLY way forward, and rather quickly!
