What's going on.....

Forum totally dead now even at weekend

[Hampton Caught]

Steve,

Don't fret! You're not alone.

With the weather making a good attempt to improve and with more motorsport events occuring now, I guess it's to be expected that less of us are around online. A week ago, I was at Lydden Hill enjoying a superb weekend of rallycross action, so was a long way from the PC, in every sense.   

Hang on in there, buddy!

Cheers, Steve

Lucky you lol

I'm on kids duty at weekends so not much rallying for me these days

Hopefully the chains will come off sometime

[Hampton Caught]

Steve, I know the feeling only too well.   

Mine are now 18 and almost 16 so are a bit more 'off the leash' than when they were younger.    In many ways, I feel like I'm getting some of my old life back again, after almost 2 decades!!!   

Yes, the chains will come off, eventually. I can remember referring to my parents as 'empty nesters', a marketing term I'd picked up back then, and now realise that in a short while, my wife and I could be empty nesters ourselves!   

Enjoy them whilst you can, Steve!!    Cheers, Steve

[bmd]

hands full, but will keep checkin in..............

I'm still here, but as Steve said the weather is good so i've been rallying all day   

[Hampton Caught]

What have you been up to, Chris? Sounds intriguing!!!!   

Cheers, Steve

Alan Healey Memorial Rally at Cadwell Park. Not alot of time for pic's as busy but Simon Chapman was next to us so i did take alot of his      

[Hampton Caught]

Doh! Of course!!!   

Looking forward to seeing the pics.    Is he still running the basically white colour scheme with Mace Energy sponsorship? Should make for a straight-forward build, which would make a change!

How was the event for you, Chris?

Cheers, Steve

Yes. Hard to attend to everything all the time. Had a great day at the Circuit of Kerry. Good to see Breen in the T16. Shame he had the off. The Circuit of Ireland is next. Unfortunately, James o Brien , often on here had to run under Super Rally today, in Roy Whites MG ZR.

Sounds like a good day out. Any pics of James in action? Cheers, Steve

I check in from time to time. However I seem to be rallying now more that ever (6 rallies already this year) with what looks like another 19 (at least) in the pipeline for the rest of 2014. Hence my weekends are a tad busy.
As ever I am too computer illiterate to post pics up here.
My credit card is breathing a sigh of relief that the likes of Beaney and others have departed the scene or are not as active as they used to be as I could not resist the ebay temptations they were highlighting week in, week out.
I am still collecting - Piotr in Poland has just done the Owen Murphy Evo 9 and I am still chasing builders for the Coleman M3's, the Alan Ring Evo 9, McAleenan Escort/Manta/240RS as well as continuing to expand my Rothmans and BMW M3 collections.
The 1964 monte collection for the Hopkirk Gala kept both me and my wallet busy since Christmas.
I have a major diorama project started , more of which anon.
So I haven't gone away.
James

Great day with plenty of action and drama. Still running the green and white Mace livery and i did get plenty of pic's    Will email you them soon as i get them uploaded and sorted Steve.

[Hampton Caught]

Oh boy, thanks Chris! Looking forward to that.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers, Steve

It is a little quicker here lately, but I put that down to people not collecting anymore. 2 of the top 10 posters dont collect anymore, and more have cut back on buying.

I know myself I have havnt bought lately but nothing much has come up that i like.

[mcm motorsport]

i see i still have over 4000 posts over 2nd place chris!!   

[newt5550]

Very nice, well sorted car   

[Mark Lowe]

Through the week too

[newt5550]

Half term for kids. Bank holiday coming up. Everybody has gone away??????

[srsmodels]

Been dire on here last few days

[newt5550]

There are quite a few of the original people who used to post alot gone quiet. McM, Cazzo and Beaney have all but gone    Haven't heard nothing from Jimmy or Bob 6r4 in ages. David (cowley) is only on once in a while and Mark Lowe is not on here so much either these days. All where very active at one time but as times change and people move on to different things the forum is one thing that has suffered.
Must also say that the model maker have gone very quiet as well. Nothing seems to have been produced of late in code3. I think this is to the economic down turn.
Hopefully things will pick up and we will get a bit of banter back.
Having said all that. I'm on some groups on FB and they are very quiet at the moment as well so it's not just here?

[turn the wheel]

Yes it is gone very quiet indeed.........im sure its a sign of the times..............as peoples pockets fill up there will be punters back to empty those pockets..........on here now is like window shopping !!!!!

[bmd]

try to nip i between nappy-changes, bottle-feeds and snoozes................... but enough about me, you want to see the wee girl!!
