I got the annual RR newsletter 4 days ago? Yeah. And guess what... so.... did.... EVERYBODY ELSE. Now imagine you actually knew it was coming FIVE days ago, and you had sat yourself in a comfortable chairs with snacks, beverages and a catheter and/or nappy, hitting send/receive to ensure that the email landed immediately. You would then be among the very first to read it. You have to think outside the box Mark.

Okay I wrote that and then checked and MK2COSSIE COME ON MAN PULL YOUR RUDDY FINGER OUT.
We do have a healthy amount of cars booked already. Most of them are FrankenHealey, admittedly, but even if we had 30 cars he'd still be the largest supplier of metal so it's all relative.
Edit: L7 TOO. HURRY UP MAN.

PS the reason the list is in alphabetical order is because that's how they are stored in the CD racks Bstard, I would just like to formally welcome you to The Naughty Corner. You've been in and out before, I know, but... well... this is different. You've just presented an extensive list of your CD rack contents, and it's in alphabetical order. And that, on a forum dedicated to retro car ownership, is very naughty. *Secret handshake ensues* Is this weird because the CDs are in alphabetical order, or because it's a car forum ? If it's the latter, then since when did your thread have anything to do with cars? If it's the latter, I can go one better than Lord B'stard and simply post a pictorial CD list without even leaving my chair It's not weird. It's not The view from inside by Nick Liassides, on Flickr ....guilty pleasure top right corner I can't commit to BNMAC stand yet because I don't know what if any cars will be working. I can't be the only one?

I'm not sure I could handle the rejection. I mean, you promised before and stood me up, if you did it again I may never recover. It's taken months of therapy to get over the last time

My Grandad had one of those allegro coloured hearing aids with a wire going from his chest to ear. He confided he never turned it on and used the NHS supplied batteries in his torch. 99% of people on seeing the wire would speak that little bit louder so he could hear them so all was good. As a point of order do we have to behave better now that there are official visitors in the corner ? James I've got a pair for each ear now. Modern NHS ones, they are small discreet and, well, you can up the volume to a point where it feels like you are living in a virtual cinema. Surround sound,and every footstep sounding like Godzilla is walking beside you, quite brilliant! I do wonder tho, if the volume is too high, will it make me even more deaf to the point where I will need nuclear powered hearing aids just to hear a V8 on full chat?

(.. of CDs) It's a very kind offer, and an extra pair of hands might well come in handy at some point. Unfortunately, money is currently the stumbling block. The Beetle needs an entire new engine, the bus needs an entire interior and I need to sell the RX-7 to pay for both. Which means at the very least throwing a bucket of water over it and writing a decent ad, neither of which I seem to have energy for at the mo But should spring bring a sudden burst of renewed youthful vigour and should I decide to simply buy a new engine on the credit card, I'll be in touch for extra lifting hands

I'm going to be re-covering my hoodscoop soon because I ended up cutting Saxonesque patterns into the last attempt to remove all the parts where it went wrong. However, I did enjoy carving a pattern in it even if it was a pattern driven purely by the location of creases and warps. So I think that even if I get it perfect next time, I am going to be unable to resist scalpelling it again. I want something 70's. A bit like a metal band logo. A bit like the original Douglas Adams "don't PANIC" emblem. I'm currently thinking of this. The middle one. Only the white skyline cut out as a silver outline to the black letters on a black background. Just a quick doodle for now... it would be tidied up and refined, obviously.

This band also needs a logo. As the band is actually a 70s car, the logo ought to be like a road sign. As a 70's heavy metal band/car it needs to express something vaguely satanic, but to combine that with the general sense of being lost somewhere outside Northampton. Hmmmm... nope. Hmmmm.... better, but it lacks the sense of lostness. It's too directional, purposeful. That's better. It's the W of Wrong Turn, but in a symbol that suggests chaotic duality, the taking of two paths. I like it. Ah. The inclusion of the vertical stroke adds the T of Wrong Turn, and with a bit of work it could also be made to look a bit smutty... like a stick man diagram of sexual penetration. Very 70s metal. "HELLO DONNINGTON. WE ARE WRONG TURN, AND THIS FIRST NUMBER IS CALLED 'SEXUAL PENETRATION" BRRRRRRRRAAAAANNNNNNNNNGGGGGG...DUFF-DUFF-DUFF-DUFFDUFFDUFFDUFF....

But... you are a massive Levellers fan by the looks of it, and I own no Levellers at all.
