OcUK Motors - Years Back

Phil W · 13 Sep 2012 at 11:37

What things stick in your mind from years ago on the forums? I have no idea why, but things that stick in my mind;

- A picture of Fox's Xantia, looked really shiny but it was just soaking wet

- I *think* it was Malt_Vinegars Mini van in yellow? I can just remember thinking *want*

- eidolons MR2 Turbo, there were a select couple of pictures that always reappeared and also thought *want*

- Eyedots purple TVR

- All of Lopez's heaps, particularly remember liking the 309 GTi

- Lowe's Clio Turbo... Also really liked that

I don't really remember much in the way of BS'ers or big arguments but I know there have been plenty

And when it met a hump-backed bridge wall

I won't ever forget when Gilly's 172 wishbone just gave way during (I think) Manchester Meet 2.

Always remember eidolons mr2 looking immaculate in the pictures

We both re-registered on the same night in Oct 2002!

There was one about 2-3 years ago.

Darryn had his big accident at one of them and then there was only one after that I think.

Those ones on the moors close to Manchester were a little different to the early ones which were more of a driving thing than a social one with some good roads involved.

Yeah, he ended up upside down didn't he? And it was caught on video?

MM1, MM2 and MM3 were certainly all on the Moors and involved a number of "laps" of the twisty roads.

I came with Shaz in his FTO to one before I could drive, so that would be 2004/2005, hazy memory of it, but you went in your Saxo to show everyone around.

We were close to the back and had some interesting understeer, I think that time a nurse rammed his car near my uni place so his rear bumper was smashed in.

I had a search for the last MM I went to, but the thread seems to be gone, I went in my white Rover which would be around Jan/Feb 2010 I think.

This one, photo taken by rG- I think.

Is that a Bugatti Veyron?

The fascination with the 306TD with screw mod :cool:

Portable sun!

Willgills P1!

Oh and the small meet in shropshire that went out across Wales, the old a5 and the horseshoe pass, that started in a place called Pant! Dangerous in an ST220, Pigeon in a prelude, someone else in a micra, then me in....a fiat seicento sporting!
