Thats because we were laid out in a camping field, according to the map.

Oh noes, the worms are all escaping from the can lol

Adam

lol /\

Just bought myself a copy, tis quite a good writeup tbh, good pics too.
I get a mention at the end too :cool:



The Pv writeup is quite poor imo, but maybe they needed to get it into print ASAP, so kept it short-ish.

Well, we weren't in the actual showground, so I wouldnt have expected to be in the writeup either lol

Adam
04-07-08, 07:27 PM
To be fair, they've pretty much not mentioned any of the stands, apart from the TV one(which is hardly suprisinging with it being there own stand)

Lee
04-07-08, 07:29 PM
I actually think it wasn't bad. At least Barton mentioned most of the issues in his Foreword at the front of the mag. Lets hope next year is an improvement :)

Lynsey
04-07-08, 07:31 PM
I'm just sooooo looking forward to Billing :D

That was a pop at Santa Pood organizers, not TV :roll:

Lynsey
04-07-08, 07:47 PM
I was yawning at ade, not you. Also I'm not just sticking up for TV, I'm genuinely bored of PV whinging now.
It was almost a month ago- get over it!
I think everyone now knows that the show is too big for SP.

that would be mine then...didn't go on rollers due to being run in and was due on rollers the week later...only to have compression issues!

the car sits on spax coilovers, front have had the arches raised ...ie air saw.... rears have custom springs with removed bump stops...it won't go any lower on 15's as hits inner arch.

but its too low.... fronts fine but in the wet its like a rwd car...to stiff.... and its ok on smooth roads but country roads forget it.... still fun but needs to be softer and possibly higher... softer works for now!

They probably haven't stolen your copy as i have a subscription and got the mag every month on time every time and oneday the march issue i think they decided to miss out a line of my address and i haven't recieved it since the only reason i know this is that i got one late in may with biro scribbled all over it saying to try my actual address! :mad: :tard:

Stuart
07-07-08, 09:11 PM

Iain
07-07-08, 11:18 PM
I was pleasantly surprised they managed to spell my name right (Iain not Ian) in the main section, although still managed to get it wrong in the chart at the back section. Luckily nobody reads that part. lol
