New member - Darth BallsHi
I've just joined here as part of the most recent wave of immigrants from the 'other place'. I used to be Doc-B but I've turned to the Dark Side.
Seems a bit more friendly around here, and I only join forums for the banter.
Posting your pic seems to be the done thing so this are my favourite ever pictures of myself kidding around at my photography class. The women who took these are way better at photography than me though!
Let me know if these images don't work - DB

Can I say chaps it was me that posted the link here on autocar, Dradus didn't know it as he's never been here before. He hopped over on my recommendation.
It just goes to show how many people feel let down by the autocar forum.
Still all the more fun over here!
happy days hopefully.

Seriously though, you got here before me. I am pleased you've seen enough here to make you join up and give it a whirl. Better than living with the tumbleweeds at the lite forum over the way!

absolutley correct stuntman. however at the time i was deep in personal activities and in a fit of pique decided to wait for autocar to get up and running. I am man enough to make mistakes.
No Dave, I haven't forgotten, I tried to use it before but its not working, probably because i never used it! Besides its time to move on and Max is a man of my time, although i think i've aged a bit better than he has.

Oops it was a spelling mistake, I meant to write 'Volvas Make Me Horny' (The Volva was a Norse "cunning woman," or Shaman (there were male volvas, but these were fewer). The volvas originated as female seers/shamans, but evolved into magicians for hire who would often travel from place to place.)

Autocar exodusBoys,
I'd like to claim asylum too please?
Nice environment - definately more condusive to a bit of banter..!!
Don't know what to say really about t'other place - shocked at how quickly it went down hill and readily admit I may have contributed to that by arguing the toss over stuff that was clearly focused around an agenda no-one was going to admit to.
It's still going on - a guy called Scamper is testing the waters and not getting anywhere with the usual suspects. Autocar could be empty by the end of next month if it carrys on the way it's been going lately.
Oh, you've all been slagged off too by JJ/James Read or whatever he's been calling himself this week - he thinks we are all part of a global conspiracy to dominate the world. I could be wrong - no dramas - but are these two the same person?
He might have a point on the world domination thing.......... 
I'm a lover - not a fighter...so time to rock out with our c*cks out... 
I've been wanting to say that for a bout 4 days but could think of the right place to insert the comment.
Please forgive me.

"You sunk my battleship. Ouch!"

Hello mate - good to be here.
It gets worse in the other place - I'm of the view that it has to be a wind up - no-one can be that dogmatic and rude.

I saw that - I've bugged out because it was all getting a bit weird for me. Multiple ID's - out of context comments and bizarre claims of fact and never EVER an answer to a question.
I'm intrigued but not enough to go into it any further.

Welcome to the new people.
Pkh72 - is that Whitby?
|
Pkh72
|
Mark - Yep, that is Whitby, at the end of June last year when by rights i shouldn't have needed a coat!
One of the best things about visiting that neck of the woods is the drive to/from pickering, i love that road.
|
PR
|
I wouldn't have recognised that as Whitby - whereabouts is that where you are standing?
I agree totally about that cracking road over the Moors from Pickering. When I was small I used to love coming round the hairpin bend at High Horcum and seeing 'The White Balls' arranged eerily on Fylingdale Moor. I still mourn their replacement by that dull triangular thing.
While I'm on the subject, I also abhor the transformation of the previously delightful village of Goathland into a monument of Heartbeat tat. I last drove through it a few years ago and was aghast at what I found. The quiet and picturesque place I remembered, with the wide grass verges and rows of stout cottages had become a hideous film set, full of appalling grockels. I intend never to return.
|
Pkh72

It's near the variety club/town hall(?) type building not far from the 2 tusks up the steps from the life boat station.
|
PR

Okay, I think I know where you mean.
I like Whitby. Great fish and chips!
|
Frank Bullitt
|
Sorry to be a gimp, but are you sure that is Whitby pkh72?
The only buildings (and road) at low-level on the front are just where the estuary meets the sea, where the Khyber pass drops down to low-level along Pier Road (I think that's what it's called, the one with the former Lifeboat station on), and these are on the North side of the estuary.
The picture appears to be taken across the estuary (South to North) but it's not wide enough and there is no parking on the South side (or road, save for a small access road to cottages).
It's clearly the North East Coast, and I thought it could be Sandsend, although I'm not sure now.
I'm confused - impressive considering I grew up a few miles away!
The roads over the moors are impressive, the car-mags always rave about the road from Castleton to the Moor Road (A171). My personal favourite is the A169 that goes through Sleights and past Fylingdales - the 15 miles this takes you into Thornton-le-dale (via Dalby) are, frankly, pure pleasure.

It is Whitby, that's the carpark near the Whale jaw bones and the picture is looking down the beach with Sandsend just out of shot - check Google Earth!
|
Mark
|
Definitely Whitby - I had to park pretty much where Pkh72 is standing last year. I did need his confirmation though.
|
PR
|
I was confusedly looking at Google Maps as well, trying to spot that car park. I couldn't work out where it would be as it looks like it's right down at beach level but Michael's explanation looks convincing enough!

Hi all, I'm Aminu - when you think of Amino Acid, think of me...or vice versa ;-)
Yesterday I met Colin, the Forum's Roving Reporter, and after neither of us could identify the model of a car (Rolls Royce 'erm') I saw on the weekend, he invited me to join the forum and post images of the car here to see how quick one of you can match a model (along with any other details) to it! Let the timer begin...
About me, I live in Luton...but spend most of my time in London...and other parts of the UK as work demands! Work as an IT Specialist, specialising in Lotus software. As with most of you, I love cars! Fom an early age I flirted with the best of them...more to follow in my posts! A taster below...on my way from the office to the Bridge to watch Chelsea play, chose to turn up in style so...
