OLDS

Yesterday I picked up ours from the "Ding Shop"...now looking very "bling" All the "cuts & bruises" have been repaired...not sure why the Japs put foam under the mirrors ? ....sure doesn't help long term preservation. Did they do it to the M35's ? "them OLD folks"

The "big Fella" & I have been talking about a charity Slavo Xmas toy run...us OLD folks run one each yr that attracts 100-150 cars...we were thinking of the Stagea group (a Sthn & Nthn collection) making it their cruise but inviting all the others..that is only 3 months away....we could have 1 or 2 more Stag cruises then an all in...led by a line of stagea ...just discussion at the moment. It's unreal to see the group growing so fast.. "O'Mark"

On one hand, I really like the concept of growing the group to all import wagons & on the other hand I like the stagea exclusivity ...silly old bugga aren't I (having an each way bet)...trying the Legnums to see how the group "pans out" is a great place to start (I think) ...having Stagea only cruises....with the occasional mixed cruise, sits well with me but happy to fit in with the majority. "the old fella" PS...can't wait to get our stag back from the "ding/bling shop"

Truth is at least one of the drivers is old but...seriously OLD Nah all good, I reckon the 34's can hold their own ! We are gunna have a track day soon to prove it....happy to bring a tow rope that day.lol "the old fella"

Cheeky bugga ....OK some of the drivers are OLD but there is squat wrong with their rides OLD Mark

Yes you are right, it is sad but it is how others "could read" your posts & "others" do read them...At the beginning of this year I had SAPOL show me threads & posts in different forums...that is our way of life now...sorry !!! What & how you write it is most certainly up to you...I am not "the man"...but I have counselled many who couldn't understand why they were "singled out/picked on" (by SAPOL) at a cruise/on their way home. Equally, what do I know.... "that silly OLD guy"

Totally agree & we will be there to support you guys flexing your muscles ...in a cruise thread it can lead people very quickly, to the wrong conclusion... O'Mark

OK lets get one thing sured up with all this bravado...mine's bigger,mine's faster,mine's fastest (SAPOL must love these threads) PLEASE don't let the Stagea section become a defacto SAU skyline thread....have we all forgotten recent events that put SAU members up in lights ? ...hint from a wise OLD monkey: write your posts like SAPOL are reading it.. When you are talking about rwkw & speed/fastest in a cruise thread you are asking for unwanted scruitiny...believe me, you are giving "the man" valid reason to "act in the public interest" BTW "the OLDS" stagea is most probably the slowest & we are most probably the slowest drivers...gladly rwkw doesn't = IQ **gets off soapbox** OLD Mark PS ...sorry Robbie but I am just speaking my mind....

Dont care about the date, all are good & clear of the Royal Adelaide Show (2nd - 10th Sept) We are very much looking forward to the drive...lets hope the weather is kind to us (this time) ALSO we have a link with the Legnums forum now...if you want to invite them to join us ??? What are your thoughts ? "the OLD peeps"

Mine are yellow & would would very much like white ones...if you haven't had any other offers I will take them off you O'Mark
