dragon · Post by **dragon** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 1:28 pm

Don't bother, Richard - it IS an excuse - she knows noone will laugh at her car and that ALL 480s are welcome, and people are welcome WITHOUT a 480 - she's just got no bottle or commitment

Come on Kirsty, sort it out...

richard · Post by **richard** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 1:31 pm

Ur right Dragon, it is an excuse. im still going even though dont no anyone but at the end of the day its a way to meet like minded people and to get ideas for my own turbo.

You have to remember that at the last meet, noone knew anyone at all, noone had ever met - I met Jamo and Lee in Sollihull, and after a brief chat, look round cars etc, we set off in convoy and met up at the meet - Everyone got on really well, we let each other drive our cars up and down the lanes and it was great fun - we all knew each other at the end, but the start was the usual silences... so noone need to fear going to a meet - we have all been there, not knowing anyone and it ALWAYS works out well

okay so what if it is an excuse?

i have only driven as far as dover and even then it was with my bf. its only a half hours drive away!!! i have never been on a motorway on my own. i dont trust my car.

and i am really shy and will just sit in my car with the windows up and the doors locked and not talk to anyone

Well, fine - if you're not up for it, you're not up for it - not sure why you put your name up for it in the first place - if you'r shy, I'm sure you haven't become shy in the last week?!

Anyway, you should've seen Martin Holmes last year for a definition of shy, and he turned out ok from it!!!!

Do have any pics of your beast? (Volvo 480)

richard · Post by **richard** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 2:12 pm

no i havent my digi camera is in finland at the mo

kirsty_2003 · Post by **kirsty_2003** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 4:04 pm

ive always been shy
i just dont act it online.
face to face im like a mouse
ask any of my friends. i have no confidence at all
im also not totally sex mad as some of you probaly think

you best be joking mat!

lol

its not my fault my poor car has been roughly treated in its past. ive cared for it so much. ive changed almost EVERYTHING except for the engine, even then i was going to get a different engine put in for Â£300. a multi point instead of a dual point.
i do love my car. it just hates me

i do want to go...... just ill probaly get lost knowing me

plus im already going away in august (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm) oh and also might be going to watch top gear at the studio (or barn whatever it is they film in)
so thats loads of time booked up already!

if you put my name down and i dont go does it matter?

kirsty_2003 · Post by **kirsty_2003** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 4:06 pm

or was that a single point? i cant remember. too busy with other things to think at the mo.

or it might just be the fact that im dizzy as ****

Hey Kirsty,

No worries, you should use this great excuse to try and get over the shyness. Got to say that Gaz is right last year was very funny all stood around my living room looking at each other, then I said OK what about the BBQ that changed everything!

As to cars, well see my thread on the Turbo I sold and problems with that. Latest thing:

Yesterday the Celebration I loaned to the guy I sold the Turbo to, the engine blew up!

On the way back from the NEC yesterday my wife's rather expensive BMW had power steering problems and we got towed away.

My Vauxhall Omega which got pushed off the road by a Range Rover driver just before Xmas had it's repair and I collected it on Tuesday and the workmanship is the worst I have ever seen so it is going back next week.

So don't talk to me about cars I hate them and will only be using my mountain bike for ever!!

Regards in frustration

Chris

that is serious bad luck mate. more to the point its got to make u think how was the bloke driving ur celebration to blow the engine and did he drive the turbo in the same way. in which case ur repairing his new turbo for him to break again.

kirsty_2003 · Post by **kirsty_2003** » Fri Feb 13, 2004 9:31 am

ok ill try to come. if i dont get there my car probaly broke down on the way!

bite the bullet and say you will with a definite commitment !

i might just make it .

perhaps if your motor made it there , we could fix it !
