Bodyboarder81 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Haha that's great . The first few paragraphs though do describe your zed pretty well though !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Its not really a new thing though, its just that social media means its being seen more, the Ace has been under threat of shutting since it opened back up again When I was a kid it was all about cherry bombs and cruises and I knew exactly where I could go if I wanted to street race, the only difference now is that you dont have to be part of the "scene" to have your face rubbed in it. Dont know why youve gone with a pic of a comp car drifting off road either, thats a bit MSN Network TBH .......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So went with the opposite of how it should be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Fair enough - google image search "car park burnout" and theres a few potentials there Meant to say, well written and interesting article as well, keep up good work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Fair enough - google image search "car park burnout" and theres a few potentials there Meant to say, well written and interesting article as well, keep up good work Aye I do this occasionally, Hence the 'We need you' type image. Only when filtered with usage rights. The idea is to just use our own images as much as possible. Which will be my main focus this year on getting out and taking more photo's to build up a library for future articles etc. But appreciate the feed back dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davectr Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Article #5 is live Too many people killing the car scene.. http://www.teamtarma...ng-like-a-dick/ Thank you to Dan for another Top article. As Keith Lemon would say "what's the moral of this story?" Only kidding, another well written article ðŸ‘, which I agree with everything said. It seems like everytime I go to the local cinema there are loads of modified cars in the vast car park area, and there is always a handful of . . . . . . . . . . .(insert your own phrase) carrying on like this. Well done again Dan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thank you for the kind words, folks. Credit should go as much to Grundy as me, for he makes the pages look more than just a wall of text and that's something I could never do, I've not got an artistic bone in my body! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 As Jimmy Carr said in an add he enetered into a paper (joke add obviously), wanted, small minority to spoil it for the rest of us.... Sadly its nothing new as Doc says, just it gets more coverage via social media. I have seen a motorbike pitch into the crowd at an Odiham meet cause he thought he could wheelie and a number of less significant incidents, i like the article being directly aimed at them, but, they already know who they are and thrive on the attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Another awesome write up from Dan. This time a little different. Dan attended a launch night for Porsche's unveiling of the new 991.2 Let me know what you think. Also For every like, we hit Dans iphone with a hammer, For every comment will be the days training Dan needs on a photography course and every share we will donate to a proper camera http://www.teamtarmac.com/a-top-up-to-go-with-your-911-sir/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) While the launch event may be nice and all, being on a waiting list may not be for some... http://m.theboltonne...nst_dealership/ Surely there are no such things as unscrupulous car dealers You can actually imagine the phone call from the guy who actually got his Porsche, you mean someone else is ahead of me followed by a large amount of toys being launched and the, if i dont get that i will never buy another Porsche from you or simply a large brown envelope Edited January 22, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irn Bru Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Article #3 is live - http://www.teamtarma...iver-struggles/ First glimpse found here, as it's not been released on facebook yet. This weeks topic is - The Daily Driver Struggles. I'm hoping this will make a lot of sense to people who drive their car to work/shows/track/across country Let me know what you guys think. Interesting read Grundy, I remember times like that many moons ago as a young car owner, old age has come now though lol, but it brings the benefits of affording additional cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Article Number 7 up. Dan's review on the Carrera S with his recent test drive.

HEADPHONES Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I can relate to this article. Started driving very late due to being a skint student. Graduated at 25, got a job, learnt to drive and bought my first car. £600......HONEST! A 12yr old "A" reg boxy VW Polo 998cc. I proceded waxing it and applying trim and tyre dressing in the flat's car park for some pompass guy from upstairs to shout out "what the f*** you polishing that piece of sh** for " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
