IDO

maybe... its only been 3 odd years!!!, you probably one of the most local owners (apart from DaveF) and we've managed to miss each other at every meet!!

****!... can't make it.. off on holiday the day before!! have a good one!

I have a few.. on both my arms and on my back.. as far as i know they are all one offs as i have drawn them myself then worked with my tattooist to create ones that worked well.. Only one regret i have is the one i had done by a monk in a temple in thailand is starting to blur slightly, and wish i had it inked bigger to keep the detail more clear, as it has text in it which is running in to each other ever so slighlty (mainly due to excessive sun)....

was it a white one? i work nr tower bridge! could have been me! i haven't missed any of the plot so i put the miss of jimbo robinson, down to my lack of oz soap knowledge!!!!

Sad i know, but only noticed it was jim from neighbours during last nights episode... was well chuffed with spotting that as i haven't seen the goings on in ramsy street for 15+ years.. then they had all the "celebs" saying it, which kinda spoilt it, i assume everyone knew it was him.. doh!

ive got clear blue ones on mine now.. just bought some cough modded vectra needles of ebay for a test and they fitted.. just had to shorten them a bit!!

sorry to hear of peoples sad tales.. i does make you think of how unfair things can be.. one little thing someone told me a few years back, after i was close to saying "good bye" myself was.. never regret the things you have done.. just regret the things you never get to do!! been living that way since (first thing i done bought my supe! had ages to find it as i was laid up for 4 months!), and now try to see the nearest and dearest as much as poss..

should be up for it... on one note though.. sundays are better for me as due to being the old age of 30, i've have most saturdays full for the summer months with 30th birthday partys.. bbqs and weddings etc.. just thinking wouldn't sunday be better for parking cars closer together (car parks not quite as busy)?

ive got 2 sets of side lights (one in main cluster and one in the indicators) i orderd the a set of the 6 and of the 12 led.. they both fit and the 12 cluster looks brighter... well worth doing.. just be careful if putting the side lights in the cluster as they are on stork type fitting to place them near to the front.. i wasn't to careful while changing mine and whilst trying to get my hand out of the engin bay with the bulb holder i lost a bulb into the cluster and ended up having to remove the whole light to remove the lose bulb.. Doh!

M25 we go round as far as the M4 junction (15) and straight down M4 to J11 Reading turn off. This I feel would keep our convoy together and be more injoyable for everyone.see everyone at 5.30am sharp for a departure no latter than 5.45am. Lets hope for a good day even if the forcast is not the best. Cheers Andy sounds good to me.. see you all in the morning,, (just cleaned car... i know by morning it would have been rained on! doh! well at least nice coat of wax should make it easy to wipe clean and dry!)

think there were around 20+ of us at a meet there last year (feb/march 07).. think it was organised by the MR2owners club, think we missed the one this year as it was arranged by someone else last min and it clashed with something else??

My Passenger has dropped out.. anyone need a spare ticket? PM me.... EDIT: ticket now spoken for.....

anyone need a ticket? have one going spare now.. drop me a pm if you want it... (am still going but passenger can't make it) EDIT: Ticket now taken (if you requested it off me check your PMs.. i might be you!)

go through stages of months of not smoking then fall back in to it.. everyone says i get through the hard part so why start again... its normally due to beer!!!

Cool mate... think there will be a few of us from clacketts so should have a good drive (on hopefully a quiet M25 at that time!!) round to meet Lui (and pos the largest supra convoy to japfest!)..

Some of the more southernly peps from the SE are starting early.. but a few of us are meeting them at clacketts? if that helps.. i plan to be there 5.30 to leave at 5.45 (to head to meet lui)... if you leave thurrock at 4.45 as stated, you'll be at clacketts well before we leave.. just an option? maybe see you then?

They managed to put over a very one sided show of the junior fighting in muay thai in this country.. Yes i belive some of the kids were only doing it due to the parents, but i train kids in the sport at a well known large Muay Thai gym in the SE, and loads do it for the love of it... C4 approached loads of gyms in the uk and i believe many of them (including the one i am at) said they weren't interested as you can see they were looking to make a shock programme.. (which i belive can damage any sport if you have seen the other shows "baby come dancing" and "baby football" or something like that where it seems the parents are pushing kids very hard to carry out their own dreams)... i believe they even asked if one of the parents of our kids could shout more incouragement and advice at them while they were at our gym.. and you can tell how that would be edited on tv!.. We only let kids fight if they want to, and if they are old enough to make up their own mind and have no chance of getting hurt.. The kids from our gym that fight are older than the little girl and boy though.. they are normally 9+.

umm not to my taste.... is that a du-luck bonet on there as well?

Coupe more shiny bits on since this pic.. but you get the idea..

I've got sat nav.. sure lui put a postcode up (in the main link), so we should be ok.. but if you have a sat nav you can borrow it may be good as i haven't updated my maps on the sat nav for a couple of years! EDIT FROM LUI'S MAIN POST Meet point will be at the famous monthly Jap Reading meet site at Comet / McDonald's car park by Madjaski Stadium in Reading Just off the ring road at junction 11 m4 Post code for your sat nav is RG2 0QG Be there between 6.15am -6.45am !!! LEAVING AT 7.00am SHARP !!!

i am hopfully of to train there (probably not fairtex though).. pos september.. have done this for about the last 6 years.. can't wait to go again not just for the training, but the people, food and beaches etc are all fantastic.. (All the "red light" trade that goes on can be a bit off putting, but can easily be avoided.)

Pm sent.. cheers

If your using a mac try "VisualHub".. had to buy it though (but was only $10, so about a fiver..) Is really good, will convert anything to Itunes, psp, dv,dvd,avi, mp4, wmv, mpeg, flash.. etc etc.. all with advanced setting inc h.264..

i am gonna aim for clacketts at about 5.30

I am in orpington.. probably easiest to meet at clacketts though..
