    Musketeer got a reaction from rob275 in Dogs   
    Took my cats to the vets this week for their checkup and boosters. They both meowed all the way there and all the way back. I think that's 'disapproval' meowing. Elf was in the back and Orc was in the front, in their travel cases though. Not having loose cats wandering around the pedals.

    Hi Eleanor and welcome.
     
    That's it, the Sprint boys have got their slicks into you. In next to no time, you'll be touring the world to get to where you started from as quickly as possible in under 2  hours with Lewis Hamilton trying to chat you up on the way round!
     
    Seriously, enjoy the car, enjoy the club and enjoy the Sprints.

    Musketeer got a reaction from Keethos in Essex Mini-meet.   
    Hi Guys.
     
    Yesterday we had our Essex Mini Meet, held at the Lion Inn in Boreham and at Bradwell on Sea. 12 people turned up in an assortment of vehicles, including a blue BRZ and a silver Yariz (Keith's excuse is that his car is at Fensport having uprated internals fitted to his pride and joy. I think he liked the go carts so much, he's sold it and downsized to the Yariz ). After basking in the sunshine, chatting and inspecting mods and stuff, we went indoors and had a couple of drinks. We made full use of the comfy chairs and sofas supplied by the Inn for us to sleep in. At about 12:30, we lost Keith who had to return home and the rest of us sat down to lunch. Chicken Liver Paté, Hand made burgers and frites, Pork belly with mash, veges and a Cider sauce, and other stuff were consumed. All very good food. After lunch, about 3pm, we lost Carla (Tank Girl) and then made our way to Saint Peter's on the Wall. The route took us from Boreham to Hatfield Peveral, Maldon, Latchingdon, Mayland and then Bradwell on Sea. The last couple of hundred meatres were covered on foot and then, after performing the sacrifice of a virgin on the alter (Chris volunteered for that), we wandered an extra 200 metres to the edge of the marshes where we could see across the Blackwater estury towards Mersey island, Harwich and Felixtow and out to the North Sea. Again, we chatted about cars, midwifery, women with pink boots and dogs in pink coats (yes, she and they passed through us twice) and the location of Southend on Sea.
    At about 5pm, just before dusk, it started getting a bit chilly so we sauntered back to the cars where Chris (I think) showed us his car's UFO disguise. Lots of lights under the car that change colour with the shake of a remote control. The local taxi driver, who was passing buy looking for custom, admitted he preferred the 'yellow' one, to the calls of the others saying 'Don't let him hear that! His head's big enough as it is!!'. I measured my head when I got home and it was it's usual normal size, so not sure what that was all about.
    We then parted company and made our SatNaved way home (apart from me and Nick. We are locals), some via the nearest Shell garage. Hope everyone made it.
     
    I belive a good time was had by all. Thanks to all of you who turned up and 'see you next time' to those of you who missed it.
     
    Now I have to figure out how to get my photos loaded into this site.
     
    Cheers

    Give me a GT86 with 200bhp over any hot-hatch with 400bhp. It's like comparing chalk with cheese. The looks, the feel, the drivability, the fun, the smile. Need I go on?

    I used to watch the Vulcans fly over Chelmsford in formation with Jaguars, Tornadoes, Gnats, you name it, for the Queen's birthday every year. The planes would (and still do) follow the A12 down to London for the fly-by. It was always an impressive sight and loud with it.

    Musketeer got a reaction from Keethos in How long do you plan to keep your 86/BRZ?   
    Well, today I signed the docs to swap my GT86 in for a GT86 Giallo No 5. I'll be paying £3 more per month for it than I do currently for Tripple Ecks. I'll be picking it up on Tuesday. The dealership will also be taking my mods off Tripple Ecks (apart from the diffuser and positive shift bush) and putting them onto the Yellow Peril. I'm looking forward to showing the new colour off to you guys soon.

    Musketeer got a reaction from Keethos in Greeting's from north of the border.   
    Hi Steve and welcome. Oooo. Nice car. My local dealer's got No 83 in his showroom.
     
    I'm looking at swapping my Orange GT86 in for a Giallo (pronounced Jiallo for those with no italian). Hopefully in about 10 days time. My local dealer wants to keep No 83 in his New showroom for as long as possible, so he's sourced another one from ooop North somewhere. No idea which edition number that one is. It's been registered in my name though!!
     
    Have fun driving it. You'll soon be looking at the mods and stuff available for the car though as there's plenty out there.
     
    Cheers
