fings I haz lernt at NEC
grumpynorthener isn't actually grumpy but is definitely a Northerner (not sure how I worked that out but I bought - "northerner for dummies" and now I understand one or two words but never a complete sentence)
samta22 has a partner (wife) that is a bigger car nut than he is and buys wheels she hasn't seen from a person she doesn't know
WoodyMercW114 doesn't have an m3evo but has a nice merc with iffy door locks and no heater and a partner who really should buy a duvet for the journey home (little c in a circle blackpopracing )
fr€$h&m1nt¥ has a really well behaved boy who has nice manners and a very healthy enthusiasm for anything with wheels and his truck isn't minty fresh in colour but minty paint so username change not required
You can get a battery powered jet wash that has a hose you chuck in a bucket and it's amazing
Babs isn't short for Barbara but babes...............
claybaring and polishing a lotus takes three days and no mater how much polish and wax you apply the decision to use white undercoat on a green car was fecking stupid
Also
1 person drove an LC with an digital dash when it was launched
3 people had automatic versions
11 people have owned a red one - must be the same curse word one cos I have never seen it
23 people stated that the police definitely had at least one - I said they couldn't sell them at 50 k so they gave one to several police forces as a way of getting rid of them and offsetting the loss as an act of charity
21 of the above thought I was right and it confirmed what they knew
42 people laughed at the fact my partner still calls the LC her "kitchen" (I got the LC and she didn't get a new kitchen)
Nobody thought it was a Skoda so it must be a French thing
On the next stand (Volvo Amazon club) I mentioned that an ex boss I had 25 years ago had one in dog knob red just like the one in the middle - turns out that my ex boss was on the stand and the dog knob red one was his and not the same one from 25 years ago.
Being next to the sporting bears area means two doors are open and if you don't keep moving you freeze to the spot
Penelope Pitstop now I need to find a way of getting even - I'm not mad but will repay the favour
blackpopracing - extension - just doooooooo iiiiiiittttttt.
Frankenhealey had a better line but I forgets it
having 3 people called Ian works fine as long as you know which Ian is wchich
