sounds like Mosley needs a sound thrashing!

my neighbour is an mot tester and does all my vehicles. He is classic Ford mad and is always ragging me about my Datsuns/Nissans. He took my roadster for its mot and came back with the same stupid grin that have assumed since buying it and said 'now that's a fcuking car!' I think I have at last converted him.

Every few days there are horrific murders reported in this country which seem to be senseless, with no real motive. About 2 years ago there was the murder of 11 year old Rhys Davis, who was shot by a teenager whilst on his way home from football practice. About 3 weeks ago there was the report of a lad who was tied to a tree, made to drink petrol and then incinerated. Dano Sonnex and Nigel Farmer brutally tortured and stabbed two French students, and the psychopathic Sonnex threatened to bite off the officer's face who arrested him. Yesterday, Jade Braithwaite 20 years, Michael Alleyne 18 years and Juress Kika, 19 years were sentenced to a minimum of 19 years for the murder by stabbing of 16 year old Ben Kinsella. This trio pursued a group of lads because one of the group had 'dissed' them with a look and mercilessly stabbed Ben. When being led to the cells they mocked the bereaved family and friends. Grieving families left to mourn for ever, whilst psychopathic scum sue our pathetic government if their porridge has got lumps in it. Apart from the deterrent effect of capital punishment, just think of the money we'd save on keeping the 'perps' incarcerated. I don't advocate 'topping' people for all murders, but certainly in cases such as the above it would make me, the bereaved, and in fact all decent people feel safer and happier to see proper justice meted out. Where do we go from here? Even when the Tories get in it won't happen, and we'll be still living in a country where scum rule ( no I don't mean MPs, I mean the street criminals.)

so far we have disco, catering, chat for Friday. Saturday, catering, disco, quiz and live band. I am not sure about a bar this time and need my arm twisting if folk want one. Most peeps bring their own. The catering man will stop for as long as you're buying. If trade slows as the night progresses he'll go home but is willing to stop till midnight if there is trade. If you are going to be there in the evening it's best to stop over. Don't drink & drive! For the nesh buggers who are stopping in hotels I will try to arrange cheap transport.

a lot better

IMO it's a high price. I purchased my roadster last Nov. Mar 06 21k miles for several k less than that plus a good px price for my old car. This was from a non-franchise dealer. I've seen a brand new tintop on my local dealer forecourt for 1k more than your price. Shop around there are bargains out there, it's a buyers market (but a little more difficult for a roadster when the sun's shining!) btw look in the cars for sale section on here you may find something.

best wishes Martin, sorry I'm late.

a very much sought after motor car. Hopefully there will be a couple at Zed - Fest this year. Well worth a look. Not many in the UK any more.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What we need is a war Drafting Guys over 60 I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35. For starters: Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy. Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry.'and pi**ed off with this Labour Government. We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while. An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch, weirdo,scrote,or what have you If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser. Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns, we've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling. They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training. I can hear the Drill Sgt. In the 'New army' now, 'Get down and give me ... ER .. One?' Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet. An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head. These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way. Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists! ... The last thing an enemy would want to see right now is a couple of million pi**ed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them. Also, we won't get into trouble for mistreating prisoners. We won't take any. If nothing else, put us on border patrol....we will have it secured the first night!

I borrowed this from elsewhere. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER Dear Mr. Darling, Please find below my suggestion for fixing Britain's economy. Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan : There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. - Pay them £1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations: 1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fixed. 2) They MUST buy a new British CAR. Twenty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed. 3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed. 4) They must send their kids to school / college /university - Crime rate fixed 5) Buy £50 of alcohol / tobacco a week there's your money back in duty / tax etc It can't get any easier than that! P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back there falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances.

altheo45 we were on the site the whole time. Closed at 11? we were just warmin g up

Bit tuff that Martin. We are hoping to have the Institute of Advanced Motorists offering advice and tuition at Zed Fest, I'll put you down for a quick course in wall avoiding.

What a good turn out from this club . It was good to see you all but where did you get to Saturday night? We had a great time with beer, an inter-club quiz, beer, Fancy dress, beer karaeoke, beer and Japanese buffet with sake and beer, while you were watching a ****-poor replica of Jakko and building tin can towers . Please remember in future that the show does not end until at least 3.a.m. after lots of beer , and defecting is not allowed. However we hope you all had a fab time and look forward to seeing twice as many 350's at Zed- Fest in September. PS I hope you flyered all those 350's that were on different club stands.

as you are so concerned I have put your name forward as a judge.

remember 2CV's are better than 1

try 01623-751521 mark hill auto salvage at Kirkby in Ashfield. Mark has retired but I think they still operate under his name. Has a lot of modern stuff.

perhaps bullet magnet could change his name to (von)Entwhistle?

I would have thought that any good signwriting or printing company could do that for you. You can pretty much make your own design now and have it stuck on your car. The company I use near Nottingham has just done a fantastic job on a big horsebox. I don't know where you are but I can send you contact details if you are local or want to travel.

welcome mate to the world of Roadstar.. Martinmac does a good line in beaniecaps with club logo and you need to explain that handle. Don't leave the roof down too long or the grin will never leave your face.

WOW!!!!!!!!!

Mine is a standard roadster. Bear in mind that many peeps have highly modified 300zx's and they manage. Note what I said and if you get to a bump size it up. We've been going to Billing for years without problems as have many other modified car clubs.

The good old days. Long live Gene Hunt (if you look very carefully you can just see his hand at the back of the smilies neck)
