working like a goodun

 

[Chip-mk1]

That's a shame zmaster

 

[plymcl172]

Someone reversed into my car last night, massive dent in the door and wing

Won't stop me going to the meet just don't laugh at my sad and dented RS

 

[Chip-mk1]

Sorry to hear that mate.

I'll shout you your meal if you do come still seeing as you are clearly having a rubbish week!

 

[plymcl172]

oh thanks very much

wing and door damage the foreign guy is paying me cash so...... not getting fixed till Tuesday, just sad when your pride and joy gets hurt

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah its never a nice feeling.

 

[plymcl172]

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ouch!

 

[plymcl172]

Tell me about it

£340 it is costing him

 

[Chip-mk1]

Lets hope he actually pays!

 

[plymcl172]

he will, seeing him tomorrow

he knows what will happen if he does not- Insurance time :nono:

 

[Chip-mk1]

Thats if he is still in the country when you go to see him, lol

 

[plymcl172]

ha ha

wanted him to go through insurance really, could of had new parts!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Would imagine that would potentially be classed as a write off on insurance?

 

[plymcl172]

this is the thing, always worries me as book price what are 172's really worth? sadly just over a grand :dapprove:

and they will write off anything.

Friend bumped into a fiesta in her VTS last week. VTS was a write off even though it didnt touch the fiesta(hardly) and broke the saxo's bumper and lights

 

[Chip-mk1]

If someone runs a key around a 172 to scratch the paint its an insurance write off.

 

[plymcl172]

Serious!!

is that due to the price of a 172 now ?

sad times

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yes mate, 1K car needing 2K of paint if they scratch every panel hard = write off

 

[McGherkin]

s**t the bed. Did they try to reverse across a junction?!?

 

[plymcl172]

I was coming out of it and the woman saw me, I edged out but a car was coming so rolled back, woman didnt check her mirrors so reversed into me

Women- seriously !

 

[Mosley182]

Alright chip. Fancy going back roads from Tiverton. And imperial is on that side of exeter. We can meet josh there and I'll be there better than the motorway

Cheers

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah sure

 

[Shifty.]

Isn't it the barn owl were going to?

 

[JackJack]

Isn't it the barn owl were going to?

I'm not going but i thought it was barn owl too.

 

[McGherkin]

I thought it was barn owl as well, if that's the one just off the motorway.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yes it's the barn owl. Just noticed he said the imperial, wonder where he got that from.

Going via Tiverton is going to make no sense really in fact, I should have read better what I was agreeing too. Lol
we could meet at collumpton services though if anyone wants to join us on the way from Taunton.

We'll be leaving Taunton from opposite Sainsbury petrol station at 6:45pm

 

[plymcl172]

so its only going to take you 15mins to get from Taunton to Exeter?

Me and Mcgherkin are coming not heard from Chris and I sent him a PM :S

 

[Chip-mk1]

Oops, for some reason I thought it was 7:30pm we were meeting!

Really do need to learn to read properly, lol

6:15 by sainsburys petrol station then Shifty?

 

[plymcl172]

either that or you will be going down the M5 at 130+

 

[Chip-mk1]

No, that would be very naughty and im a good boy.

 

[McGherkin]

Was a great evening folks, shame half of the group missed out on a (really quite nice) meal, photo opportunities were good, I only really got one good pic at the seafront (which was of my car lol), but flicking through the pics taken at the Barn Owl and they seem to be alright.

Many thanks to plymcl172 for helping me lose my Renaultsport Virginity, and to Chip for organising.

For those who want a pair of reverse lights the same as mine, I'll edit the link into this post in a minute.

Cheers all, see you again very soon no doubt.

 

[McGherkin]

Nice pics Shifty, I'll definitely remember the proper torch next time!

 

[plymcl172]

Was a great meet so nice to meet all of you finally!

Was lovely food, best I have had this year, thanks very much chip for seeing to my bad week, was a good turnout in the end

Enjoyed the drive to Exmouth aswell, glad Mcgherkin has been out in a Renaultsport and was funny when you bolted it home and passed me at 95mph. I was saving on fuel! ha ha

Top marks Chip on the meet, look forward to the next one! :approve:

 

[McGherkin]

Only 95?!? Little faster than that I was back in Plymouth by 11:30

Balls. Just realised I forgot to pay Chip for the dinner. Drop us your email Chip, I'll send you the money.

 

[Zmaster2k]

intersting pics....

 

[McGherkin]

Righty ho, got all the pics uploaded now. Not a huge amount of pics because I forgot to change the camera batteries, and I didn't really shoot anything good at Exmouth.
