John_M Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Just got back home from Japanese Auto Extravaganza at Peterborough and have to say had a great time. Had a good look around this clubs stand on the Sunday and to Ray for organizing the display. Looked excellent with a vey good turn out of Supes. Well done also to the guy in the light blue Supra for winning the show and shine. I didn't get a close look at the interior but you had the car looking excellent and well deserved the win (especially in them weather conditions). I decided to camp with the MSOC this weekend and just chilled out Saturday afternoon and evening with a few beers. The weather was doing that overcast thing were you get still get sunburnt if you're not careful. Sunday morning involved a quick wash of the car (not quite to Rob's standards) and a go on the Thor Dyno. 493.6 bhp & 385.4 ft/lb at the hubs was quite satisfying (sp?) and should get even better once the AEM is fitted and mapped and the boost increased next month. The weather started to let us down around midday with the sort of rain that lets you know it's in for the day. So was this the dark cloud over the weekend? No , I'm afraid not. During Saturday night, after we had all crashed out, a couple of "fatherless persons" decided that they would attempt to vandalize our marquee and club banner. Martin woke up to see one guy on the shoulders of the other guy cutting away at the banner. When disturbed they legged it and unfortunately couldn't be identified. This sort of mindless vandalism, fortunately for the event organisers, wasn't widespread and the only other trouble accross the whole show was someone doing donuts in their car and a case of beer going missing. I would love to know find out who decided to target the stand as I take the damage quite personnally as an attack on the club. I'm also posting this on other forums with the hope that someone may have seen something I'd be interested in hearing. If you know any further details please pm or e-mail me. Also can you pass on the word through the other car clubs please. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 There sure is some tossers about isn't there :thumbdown shame they ran off like pussy's though as you could have had some fun with them John I'm sure it will all come to light one way or another though. At least it didn't mess up the weekend for anyone, plenty of fun to be had and we could all laugh about it or should I say at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom S Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 John, yeah I heard about it on Sunday. When Claire (the organiser) came over with a request to ask us on the Stand at the Mkiv Supra . Net as we were blamed. If you're posting to ask if any one knows. Not bad, I was pissed and asleep, unless I was sleep walking (which I doubt). Shame thought the fact that you don't know who did it and I hope you do find out. My only thing though is being questioned by Clare as the "Accused" with out proof smirks of looking for some one to blame with out the facts. Just my honest opinion. I was a little taken a back when Claire asked if "I know anything?" because a "accusation" has been made. So take this post as a question back to see who was making accusations about us guys that where there Saturday night. And take a long hard look at who is pointing fingers before finding out who was responsible!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_M Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 I know there is bad blood between some members on both forums but I've met some great guys on this site and the other one. I'm not throwing accusations anywhere. I would just like to know if anyone saw anything. Faye's Brother - you may be onto something there.

I don't know how many of you there were on the stand, but you will so if there were 10 people and you didn't then one of the other 9 did. but again Who did the damage is the same as Who made the accusation??? Something else we may never know........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Faye's Brother - you may be onto something there. maybe, since it appears to be the mk3supra guys who stole it from celica club maybe only a small minority, as most of the mk3 guys i have met are decent lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl0s, no some one from the other stand accused some one from our stand of doing the damage, without knowing if it was or wasn't, as I was in a drunken stupor in my tent trying to remember what sleep was. All I was saying was that Jon asked if any one knew anything about the damage caused. I was asking if John knew who accused us? Hope that helps matey. On a lighter note sure I met you. See you at the next one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps matey. On a lighter note sure I met you. See you at the next one ahh I understand now. I thought you were talking about the attempted mkivsupra.net steal, not the celica-club one. I didn't go matey. I was so close too - car is having it's dents and imperfections touched up in about a week, and my rims repaited shortly after. Once again I just didn't feel my car was worthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in the other post there were so many people there who didn't belong to the club if Martin had pointed at someone and said "It was him" I probably wouldn't know if he was a member of ours or not! Christ, nearly half of the tents weren't even ours. They belonged to the traders and the models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 As it has been said it is a shame that some anally retentive nob jockey accused us of this act. Get a life !!!!! Amazing how my post hasn't been replied to on forum. Shame this sort of thing happens but hey my thoughts are that perhaps the vandals thought the stand was deserted with all of the 6 cars on it. They probably would have been taking too bigger risk with the 70+ cars on our stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
