Hello all!

Wow, this took a bit of finding, my old links stopped working. Well done Richard Webmaster for keeping the forum running.

Where have I been? Well, to be honest I lost interest in my car for a while after the Alps trip last summer. The front tyres wore out alarmingly quickly and it was more than just screeching round hairpins, the suspension was rattling and the brakes felt crap so I just didn't use it much or feel like fixing it. I had a few busy weeks at work which meant I didn't have time to post on here either and I just got out of the habit of posting.

I did use the P6 for the MSA Classic Rally in September though which was good fun and in August it got used to transport Jane and myself to our wedding. It looked fantastic in the sunshine with the ribbons on in gardens but no one bothered to photograph it for me - lots of pictures of relatives in hats but none of my car.

So anyway, I've got my enthusiasm back (now the bathroom has been fitted) and I've started on the suspension to make it nice to drive again, it might even get some fresh paint too.

I've caught up with the projects, particularly Sowen, BBlongman, Quattro and Chrisyork, all exiting and inspirational so I'm ready to start work on mine. I've just spotted Vaultsman's took his car to bits again too.

Cheers,
 
Great to see you back online Paul,

How about getting her ready for a haul up to Newcastle for the P6Club Anniversary Rally at the Beamish Museum.

Congrats on your wedding too!

(I only had one person take a photo of Vanessa decked out in ribbon at our wedding, but glad someone did!)

Brian.
 
I was wondering where you'd gone Paul...think it was East Kirkby in July when our paths last crossed...welcome back mate :!:

Similar! I was out of the loop for a couple of months last Autumn while I was fitting a new kitchen...but then you find yourself again...in that immortal phrase...

Living With Your P6...

Thanks for the (re)welcome guys. Stan is that Paprika wall paper? It was East Kirkby when I last saw you and like I say I didn't use the car much after that.

Brian, I'd love to go to that Beamish rally but it clashes with a Lake District holiday I've already booked, as does this years East Kirkby rally. I will definitely be getting out to a few rallies this year though.
 
Just found a wedding photo of us both just before we left for the reception. She looks fantastic doesn't she? Jane doesn't look too bad either. :D



My Dad was chauffeuring us but was already in the car at this point!

It was a bit traumatic for me sitting in the back whilst he was driving though, he kept waggle the gear stick from side to side trying to find neutral as he'd never driven an automatic before.
