What a load of crap.

Some good old timers but far too much new stuff (ie minis and new cars which you can see in the showroom all day long).

Ԛ£10 to walk in .........never again.

Good to see friendly faces, best in the car park.........................

I personally think Dony is now DEAD.

got to agree had its days unless someone else does it

Yeah, it seems to go in cycles, one year it's good(last year), the next it a bit naff

If i had to travel a decent distance to get to it i'm not sure i'd bother comming, i think the problem was they didn't know they were assured of booking the hall till fairly close to the date so it wasn't advertised very well ??

How was Donny Market ?

much better last year....a miss next

I nearly did go. But couldn't be bothered with buses

I have been the last 2 years and didnt enjoy it so didnt go this year.

Andy,

Market was good !!!!

Good to see all the friendly faces,

Glad i didn't bother driving up from s.london then!!

I always think Donny is too late in the year, i assume the weather was cr@p also?

Was uncle Sven there? haven't spoken to him in a long time.

Sven in good form................

My pics are ready(uploaded) now, let me know what you think as i'm not sure about this slide show thingy

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... ic&t=48578

Takes too long to load/change from one pic to the next IMO Andy, I personally would rather look at normal pics

agreed about the show

although being something of a cheapskate I didn't bother paying the ten quid . tbh, after maybe 10 or 15 mins walking around i'd seen all i wanted to. great to see a few zoners, but that was the best bit really.

I've sorted all the links to show as normal picies now

It was shyte, but that's the BMW Car Club for you. The bottom end of the hall was dead - there were more interesting cars outside. Very poor and I too think it's dead. It's been going downhill ever since the good old days of the Driver's Club. In those days it was absolutely packed full of cars good and bad, thumping stereos and a good atmos. As soon as the Car Club Nazis got involved they tried to turn it into an upmarket event which is just ludicrous.
God I bloody hate Car Clubs and the BMW one is worst that most.

BTW Did anyone see that Ԛ£3000 E reg 325i that had been painted with a bicycle pump and a yard brush?

Just as well i never bothered then. If the weather was anything like on the M25, then it would have been a terrible day. I saw about 3 accidents in 20 minutes.

As far as Donny is concerned, it needs a complete rethink in terms of what kind of show it wants to be. I also agree that it's on too late in the year and most people cant be bothered to go. We'll see how they come back from this

meh got bored,,, very quickyl,,, though came out with a few good points..

got to take the piss about how shit the fusion install in that guys e36 was,,,urgh,,, and as said,,, if your oing to the trouble to put screens in the boot why stick stickers??? ON CARPET! ffs they were half peeling... speakers thrown in that wernt connected,, they looked like computer desk top speakers... to hold the sub box in place.

the subs,,, the new 06/70 fusion subs, reverse mounted so we can see the greenes of it... ive heard they arnt tooo bad a sub,, though the way they were flapping was horrible, it actually made me cringe!

guy... if you see this.... please sort it out,, otherwise its a waste of gear/money/effort. that little one step further will pull it off much better.

constructive critism i hope...

other then that the calibre of cars is hmm typical of bmw car club? samey samey standard standard... ooo tech 2,,,, that looks like the next,,, and the next.... few imaginative designs,

something like bens car, or even Kos's car would have set it apart from the rest.


a day out non the less... and the highlight of the day has to be :




dips cadillac escalade... i sat in the back, making me look even more pimp... dips the driver, kos the body guard,,, and me the rich arab being chaufeered around. shame i looked like a scruff.


big pimpin::

cool so i was right,,, widearch putting doubt in myself lol as i said, the system was running so badly thatsall i couldnotice.

though was there another fusion install?? e36?? any better?

Lewis i didnàt know you had a E30

only 2 fusion set up at the show
1-silver e46 m3 aka johnno
2-purple e36 aka sam
so which one are you talking about widearch?

no mate the one youre talking about is an e 46 and there was also the purple e36 with a dodgy fusion install lol

the one with the dodgy wedged in speakers and stickers was jonos car .

ben . i am going to come on here more often as its a nicer place to be than e36 coupe. pepole seem more open to stuff.

Ben we missed you, not that there wasn't enough bad taste and scrap on show already !

The 2 tone E46 if he brought his own car.

yeah wedged in speakers alright , lol enough of the flapping and back plate slamming...

which one was yours widearch?

you mentioned e36 coupe... im guessing you have a e36? got a pic of it??

edit:: hmm open to stuff,, i think theres a handful of people who are...

everyone else is nazi anti-"council" wrongness brigade.. with the leader being pacer pete lol

btw pete... i think i know who you are now,,, saw you in person from the escalade,,, didnt introduce myself though! didnt want you to go off on a council rip up lol

lol i was fortunate enough not to go on sunday but i know most the guys who were displaying and belive me youre not the first to mention the e46 wedged speakers lol we have told him but he assures us he will be sorting it .

her are a couple pics of my car ( im redaing my self for a shunning lol )

its an esquiss raphel widearch kit ect ect well u can see for youre self

sorry the pic of the engine is so small was taken off my phone will endevour to get some better ones

not sureabout bonnet,,, nice two tone colour,,, close to Jessys tourer (the one dips done)

i like the arches, think they look alright,,, smooth is nice,, though honestly not sure about the wheels,,, chrome fair enough,,, (wheres cliffybabe) but the design too too much i think


interior,,, i like the cheque padding..
and white stiching on the console and seats

not sure about black and white them though... too zebra for my liking.

Arent you that gay dude that was a partner with Dantec?

Just as well it's not for you then Al !!
