Now let me make this crystal clear here. There is no problem with people meeting up, obviously not, if I had a problem with that it'd be a bit odd.

The problem lies when one chap drives 150 miles each way to this "local" meet and nobody else outside that? As in not even a short post in the chat thread to say a few were thinking of meeting tomorrow in cork for brekkie, pm if interested.

IIRC people who attended that "meet" were also the ones who complained of the clique in the chat thread recently enough and yet now are creating their own.




For the third time, if there had been a meet organized by 10 of us in Midway and we hadn't mentioned it here you can guarantee people from Connacht and Munster would be wondering why not.

Cop yourself on.

You weren't invited. Neither was I. Deal with it.

A number of people who attended this "not a meet" today were also people who, at the time of the "motors reform thread" or whatever it was called at the time. You know the one I mean, the one that the flop that was Irish Motoring came out of. Well those people made a huge point to complain about the development of cliques in the chat thread on here. then today here they are developing their own?

So... Let me get this straight. If a group of people who have boards accounts meet up its a clique all of a sudden? You're jumping the gun there fella.

I really don't understand the sour grapes over this. People are putting a negative spin on this to imply it was meant to be intentionally exclusionary or something.

A group seem to be intent on making a mountain out of a molehill here. Cliques you say? Look in the mirror lads.

Ah look who has returned just in time to step in and have a go at someone. No surprises there really at all.


Good man for stating the obvious as well. I just find it odd how I and others in the Leinster area "supposedly" get on so well with some of these guys with one guy actually offering the use of his car to another, yet can't even be bothered to extend an invite for a chat and a munch.

The irony as well over this whole clique thing is so damn amusing too.


@MuppetCheck - the absolute lols of you accusing someone on here of being cliquey. Thankfully some know a bit better than that.

You must be talking the mickey here now. Yes I'm aware that I have a group of friends who are members on here however I try very hard to keep all conversation on here general and inclusive to everyone on the forum. I also never organise events to deliberately exclude others.

I'm reading this topic from Malta and I'm also outraged I wasn't invited, mainly because I didn't really tell anyone I was going on holidays and how would you have known I wasn't available?! Surely if anyone here is meeting others also from here we should all be informed publicly in a topic with enough notice for us to at least sign up with out intent to go and then pull out the evening before!

F*ck you guys, I can't believe I was left out of this. I may slowly be realising that you're not all my real BFF's after all!

The mickey is being taken by the opportunistic vultures circling this thread. And if you're implying I organised this you're wrong btw.

I don't often attend meets myself so I'm not bothered one way or the other. However I've seen posts here on numerous occasions from 'impromptu mini meets' that there was no prior mention of on site.

So what? If a group of friends that may / may not have initially hooked up on boards.ie decide to meet up who's business is it?

I've made plenty of friends on this site and if I decide to meet a few of them for a chat and a bite to eat what law am I breaking?

Oh I thought you had left.


Occasionally stupid posts bring out the same in you do they? Because your post achieved absolutely nothing!


Hilarious the amoun of people jumping on this thread now. Love how nobody answered the part about the meets in Laois. People are always welcomed there.



This forum has gone to the dogs much like the complete lol fest failure that was the Irish motoring forum.

Yes I see your point, However, the problem that I have is that this was't just a couple of people, it was easily 10 plus cars. Clearly was planned well in advance and not impromptu. This is also a group that a number of have complained about the development of cliques on here and I think it is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

We'll get our permission slips signed in future sir.

I still don't see why anyone should be offended by it. Few lads that happen to be members hook up for a chat. That's a clique now?

Wasn't invited myself btw and I'd personally know half the lads that went. Am I offended? Am I fook.

I know this is aimed at me as I was one of the people involved. Snide insults are you just showing your true colours here unfortunately. If you want to throw an insult do it like a man at least and be upfront about it.

That did fail, but for the little bit of effort a few of us put in we had a few decent meets through it. It's actually how a few of the attendees today met incidentally. I would take a positive from that but others feel better to sneer.

Ded_Zebra

My cars through the years. Worryingly I still have most of them :pac:











That's the order I bought them in

Is that a mini-meet going on in the last pic...you'll be shot at dawn:p;)

Funnily enough it wasn't aimed at you. There's no need to take things to personally and not every comment here from myself is aimed at you. After how you acted in previous threads back in the day I have absolute zero interest in aiming anything snide at you, let alone conversing with you.

I'm just pointing out facts. The Irish Motoring forum was a complete flop, it didn't work out. Sometimes things don't work out and it's upto you to not take things so personally.

Throwing insults around here will only get people banned.

Well that's great that you don't feel offended. I just think it's a pity because I could have very easily been in that part of the country today and would have enjoyed meeting up with a few members of the forum. Some of them I would have thought I got on well with and there were some cars there I would have liked to have had a chance to look at. (probably would have got lung cancer though from all the NOx from those dirty diesel VAGs though! :pac:)

Nope. Just my and one friends car, I don't even think he was a member on this forum at the time of that picture as he was banned.

A very good mate of mine has one of those QV(has those wheels in the last pic. Tres Chic. And rare I gather). My uncle, a true blue/red Alfa nutcase, as all Alfa lovers are, for many a decade, had one as well. Cracking little car they are too. One of the coolest 90's cars IMH and that was a decade with some very stiff competition*

In other news… and apropos of the thread, here's a pic of me seats, where my arse resides. And wot I cleaned earlier this very day.








*and again IMH the decade where the "sporty" car reached a peak of sorts. Sandwiched between the old; we need to take sandpaper to our points and oil the trunnions and the playstation electric cars that followed, where "soul" could be called up on a dashboard screen as an option. And yes I can tell if the throttle is "fly by wire". My mechanic and mate who disbelieved this tested me with a few cars and I won that bet.

Lol! Edited. Pity it'll live on in the quote in your post:pac:


How are you finding the E60 so far? I bet it's a lot more modern feeling than the old E39! I'm not huge on the looks of the E60 but there is no denying how much more modern it looks. Is the drive equally more modern?
