Cottenham? with Jenna? if so he's part of our whatsapp chat and he went on the last ring trip I missed, I haven't met him in person yet but speak to him most days.
Rebel! haha, yeah they all branched off because of certain parts of the site/members, not sure on the ins and outs but we have a good bunch out of it so no complaints, they are the lot that I do the ring trips with :)
Crimewatch? haha.
I do quite a lot with the Fiat circles yes, I'm good friends with the bunch that run torque italia that branched off from Fiat forum, Jason, Jai, Jon etc, I haven't owned one personally though despite all the peer pressure :)
Sadly it wasn't a shock to me either! It does...
Yeah slight pain! this is the unluckiest car I've had bodywork wise! She's happy paying whatever it takes to fix it luckily, shame I couldn't fix it the easy way though, I was hoping to avoid paint but like you say at least it will be sorted :)
Update time again, sadly not a good one (apart from the end).
My run of luck has continued with the car, my dad moved my car onto the road to get his out, literally 2 minutes later my neighbour reversed out and straight into the side of it, yup another panel with a dent in it:

Looks awesome as usual, you certainly have the photography dialed in now too!
I'm hoping to make it over to CSF too, it would be good to meet you properly :)
Great pictures!
How would I go about getting the effect with the blurred background like you have done with the peace and love signs? I am trying to expand on my knowledge a bit, really trying to push my photography at present.
Nice sunny day today so I did what 99 percent of the forum probably did and washed the car.
I then washed another car, my friends S13 to be exact and we went for some pics:

Just had a flick through this, ignore what I said in the PM about the engine hoist bracket, it appears you thought it through better than me haha! Nice progress :)
Wait, you're not the 182 that has appeared round Blackpool are you? It looks like a 3 sisters style picture in your avatar and there's a 182 with the same colour scheme popped up locally.
The hid's direct own xenon bulbs seem to get good reviews and they are cheap as chips, if you have a look at Dr Jekyl's project thread he mentions them within the last few pages (I can't tag him for some reason).
But yes they are easily swapped if you do fancy that route, I did it the other way...
Thanks a lot, I quite enjoyed writing it, although I have since noticed silly little errors, whoops!
Rookie mistake! Should have been 2015, must have hit 88mph on the way there.
next up I attended the Myerscough college open day with a friend of mine in his MX5, this has had a turbo conversion and is now running 303bhp and 314lbs ft of torque, I'm going to do a proper shoot with it soon but there's some better pictures further down this post.

Next we took the car glamping! Yes my girlfriend wanted to go camping but she's a pansy so we did it in a shed instead.
We got there and it was wet:

We got up and it was snowy at which point I was quite pleased we went with the pansy option:

Next up was Mega Mini meet, a yearly show that happens at Lytham hall, nice and local.
Remember my earlier post about me always crashing the mini shows? Well I did it again!
First we prepared his JCW coupe and the Clio ready:

Thanks a lot! It's an incredible place, everyone there is on the same page and other than the odd muppet (which you get everywhere) you can literally stop and talk to anyone.
And finally two edits from the trip, the first is a shortened one as I realised I over did the go karting part of the full version:
Sorry for the 3 different posts, I could only put a maximum of 3 per reply.
And 2 laps round the ring, again probably driving at about 5/10ths for no other reason than the place scares me, more like sight seeing laps really.
5 minutes 50 seconds into the second video I get over taken by a beige Fiat 500L, that is a warning of how slow they were haha.
I wish I had...
A few videos from the trip (they are all in 720p).
First of all the two sessions at Brussels kart:
The GP track laps, don't expect to watch massively fast laps, I've never had any experience on a wet track that was as slippy as this before!
No problem at all, as Louis says below a lot of people have nice results with normal paint, I wasn't aware of this at the time so used the VHT stuff out of caution.
It was a bit of a pain to spray, I thought I was going to mess it up! If I was to do it again now I would use normal stuff with a...
