As 2012 closes to an end we start to look towards 2013 with optimism. (Which will probably wane half way through the year............or after we give up our new year resolutions). But just focusing on the community and this site for a moment, is there anything anyone would like in 2013?
more shows, Trax was excellent but can't think of any other club shows we did 2012
Come to a few meets and get to know afew members :Handshakeand now that my car nearly done up dont mind pulling up init.:banana: Hopefuly be ready for a track day:santawave
[QUOTE=p fandango;555933]more shows, Trax was excellent but can't think of any other club shows we did 2012[/QUOTE] You never go any that's why lol. A showing from vpcuk at the bkv13 in June and more drag and track meets because I will have my car on the road
Yeah, we should make an effort for BKV13. I think that we've been a bit stuffy and always avoided BKV unless your a cross forum kind of person.. As for the Forum... Don't change anything! Personally I'd just like the enthusiasm to finish a project!
Just one thing for me.... The "quick links" dropdown - can we have it visible on every page? It's very handy :)

[QUOTE=V70 Graham;555950]We nearly did the Hillingdon Show.....was rained off tho (as was York)[/QUOTE] We cannot have as much rain as we did last year , here's hoping for a dry summer.
Thnaks guys, keep them coming :-) [QUOTE=p fandango;555933]more shows, Trax was excellent but can't think of any other club shows we did 2012[/QUOTE] For site organised events we are currently looking into a few things. We came up with a long list of things a few months ago (formed with offers from external parties, things we read on here and some blue sky thinking) and started to filter the list based on how relevant, unique, achievable and good value they are. Hopefully as things get organised we will post more details. Please feel free to send us suggestions though on events as nothing is finalised. Obviously there are the community organised meets and we encourage like minded community members meet whenever they can. [QUOTE=M-R-P;555945]Just one thing for me.... The "quick links" dropdown - can we have it visible on every page? It's very handy :)[/QUOTE] I'm sure we can look into that for you :-)
More peace and love :) And less hand bags at dawn.
[QUOTE=oblark;555974]More peace and love :) And less hand bags at dawn.[/QUOTE] But that's half the fun lol.
Can we have better weather ? I was looking forward to York! :-(
Personally for me I'd like to get some more shropshire/mid wales meets lined up and couple of meets along the lines of the evo triangle with more welsh roads to explore with an overnight social on one in the summer and lastly get Jaynebabe's v70 back to normal

i'd like another performance volvo if you could sort that for me :D
Noticed the "quick links" dropdown more readily available... thanks guys ;)
A pay rise, and for just once good weather at york this year, busta wasnt impressed at all when our brand new tent had 6" of water in it (bloody argos)
An exclusive club for special members ;) Seriously I have no idea, its good as is! But what on earth is that blooming faceache status thing about???
I think it's a great site with lots of friendly people and it gives me hours of pleasure. Thanks to everyone who runs it behind the scenes! :smile:
