I must admit that I feel a bit guilty as using this event as an excuse for a bit of a giggle. I would feel much better if I could throw some money at the problem which will in turn help me to feel better about myself. I've noticed that you can buy T-shirts (although I have noticed how choosey some of you can be about t-shirts! []) from the Children in Need online shop http://www.bbcshop.com/invt/198153&bklist=icat,3,,217 If anyones interested perhaps we could order a few and save on the P&P.

1. Granby (as long as i can get the day off) 2. mickyw 3. T123VOR 4. turismo (TBC) 5. Dalthegooner 6. Baser999 7. Daniel 8. Padtwo (as long as I can get the day off) 9. Nudge 10. Loony Toon 11. Pele 12. Scuzz & Herman 13. Loonybin 14. SCOOBYTOO 15. Scoots 16. Karn (aka. Still Grinning)

That's cool. We'll firm up nearer the time and I'll confirm that i'll be wearing a red carnation in my lapel!!

I must admit, that was my intention but having looked at lots of examples of both i'm afraid to say that the WRX has the edge on the classic, looks wise, especially from the rear, which, let's face it, is what most people see the most!

sounds good to me. I'm sweet talking the gatekeeper (giving her lots of wine) so what time were you thinking of?

yeah i know the one. on the roundabout. is that not a cinema anymore? i remeber seeing the 'Blackhole' there when i was a kid. Which way do you go from there?

I feel a 'pitch forks and flaming torches ' moment coming on. [6].

I've managed to track down the location of the Wharf on the internet and it doesn't look too hard to find. I'll be coming from Bromley so if there is anyone in the area that will be going also, perhaps we can create a mini convoy as a sort of warm up to the main event.

I'm assuming that there is a particular place in Thurrock where you meet and you don't just cruise around the shopping centre on the off chance that you will bump into another scoobie! Is it the Wharf or is that somewhere else?

Thanks guys, that comes as a huge relief because i was worried that it was a problem that would cost a fortune to sort out. I'll try the 'stick it in second first' trick and see how i get on. any advice on top up fluids and so forth? Thanks again.

By the looks of things there's quite a crowd going so I'll just follow an Impreza and see where I end up. However, I'll probably stop and turn around if i follow one any further than Manchester!

I'm very tempted as I'm off that day but start work v early on saturday. It would be good to actually meet some of you in the flesh so i will run it by the gate keeper and see if she gives me the green light! As this would be my first event i would appreciate not being left at any service stations along the way as i get the impression someone suffered this misfortune last year!

Its a 2002 bug eye. Its does still happen after she's warmed up but less so. Perhaps this is a common trait. Hopefully it's nothing to worry about but i know how expensive these cars are to put right when things go wrong!

good morning to you all. I've had my wagon for a few months now and I've noticed that I have trouble getting into 1st and reverse gears as it sometimes feels like they are not there and i really have to push the gear stick hard. Also i've noticed that when i change up to second gear sometimes it feels too easy (silly explanation but i don't know how best to describe it) but this normally stops when the car warms up. Is this normal or should I start saving up in order to visit Foxes? One last question, any tips and advice on how to keep her in tip top condition in between services, ie- lubricants etc. Thanks in advance!

Whilst I've always admired Vicky Butler H I have to point out that she is starting to look a little haggered. It propbably didn't help that the show has gone down hill considerably and having watched an EVO race a plane (I think I may have seen that on TOPGEAR some time ago) I decided that I would switch off. It seems that whatever happened on TopGear a year or so ago gets copied by FifthGear and is never as funny. As for that other fella hosting I think he should stick to football shows as he was P*ss Poor!!!! The remote control car racing the Mini was funny though. It has to be Suzi, no argument.

Whipped the a**e off a BMW Z4 poser with his roof down laat night. I don't think he was too impressed being beaten by an estate!!! I chuckled all the way to work. Popped in to Foxes the other day and checked out the Type D. WANT, WANT, WANT!!! Boy how much fun are these cars?!? I don't think I'll ever stop grinning! [6]

Black WRX sitting at the traffic lights on the A20 at about 07.30 this morning at the Eltham turning, heading London bound. Always nice to see a fellow flasher!! []

Howdy folks, Had my wagon for 6 weeks now and I'm just about to insure it for the year and was wondering if anybody knew some good reliable companies to approach. The cheapest so far is Admiral for £750 fully comp but would like to try and bring that down if pos. Cheers!

Good to finally meet some of you last night. I must say that I felt a bit left out having not done any mods to my car but I'm going to start saving now and have a few party tricks attached. If there are any more ad hoc get togethers in north kent then I'll try and get there and hopefully meet a few others.

If it is still on, I take you're refering to tonight? Its short notice but I may get a pass! Is it the pub with the stream running through the garden by the bridge?

By the way, how do you set up a PM on your messages?

Blimey, look at the Dartford massive! It's all me, me , me![]

Curry rules ok but I'm an easy going kind of guy so don't mind which one it is. If I have to pick one then I would go for a curry.

Yeah...........you're all mad!! []
