VBOA Billing 2016
Apart from not turning up and taking any pictures yourself you mean Chris? Well it's this: That's everyone who hits FB first and doesn't post up here, and marker for where society is headed. In fact, studies have shown that too much Facebook leads us to believe "we're too busy" or that "life is too hard" to do other things. Crazy erosive to society! And it only takes a google to find... So many are addicted to FB and people would rather talk rubbish with people than they hardly know than post up posts of VALUE where actual conversations can be had, rather than just opinions and clickbait. FB will be here to stay, but has no way to organise content, in it's here today gone tomorrow - let's be nostalgic about cars I kind of like - rather than commit to support their survival kind of way. There were 30+ people on the FB group who said they were going to come to billing - NONE of them showed. 19 said they would come on the club calendar, and 25+ showed. The site is for the few that care at the moment, and the changes Ivan mentions are the tip of the iceberg if we are going to survive collectively everyone who cares enough to have an opinion will need to: * Actively engage in discussions (why when I can sit back and "like this" - basically stepping up) *Actively promote and take part in club stands in a more formal manner (this is chicken and egg, but for so long only the north and south west posse have represented!) *Work together to actively promote the club on FB. (When was the last time that someone who wasn't a core member told someone to join up?) *Crack on and update their garage / forum projects (Greg - yours will be back by end of Aug *Club members up the ante and do cool stuff because it's a good idea - Richie billing hoodies, Greg 35th stickers etc.. VBOA have been screwing billing for us - changing dates, reducing autojumble where the spares day should be part of it - regardless of what they are saying, there are ways around some of the problems they state. Regardless, we are going to request a smaller stand at Billing next year before ours is cut - proactively going for the corner of our existing stand. This will add value to "having the car on stand" and every member will have to have a spec sheet again if they want to attend, and we will have a billing membership to do more with the 1700+ facebook members. As I say, it's a malaise that's killing the whole internet not just car forums - just look at MIG etc. So the solution. Everyone reading this is the solution.. We've got a few other surprises in store for the FB lot, but forums need to adapt to counter too.

Hello again, back with a MK2... for the third time
Never got a message come through from your email - I've just checked our spam / junk! All admins got the notification you'd signed up though. If your old account exists we can free it up for you. Do you know what email you used? PM me and we'll sort it out.

Make them in a shape of a 35 or something. Job done! :D

Seats
Anything is possible! But the SRi's already had loads more movement compared to non-SRI's - on early cavs you got three settings which pivoted the seat forward and back in an arch motion. Recaros got horizontal movement. Do they go all the way back forward?Also, pedals should be standard disance according ot book of lies so easy to check!

For this car... dont use Red130 interior... use early Recaro seats - but get centres re-trimmed in red/orange!

SRI 130 HATCH
There was once, but you'd be better cutting one out of a donor (if you find almost ANY early car in a deservedly breakable state its fuel filler will be mint!) Incidentally - my 130 went as badly as that around the filler - we call that "luton prep" ;)

Morning all
Touché! I'm looking forward to pictures form the recovery of the cav in question!
-

Ta! Let's just say you were going for the adjective and myself the noun! Or vice-versa, myself opting for the collins definition as something "revived from the past..".. Speaking of which just images to sort now!

Symon - I'd say designed in 1977 and terracotta velour makes a cav fully retro by now!
-
VBOA Billing 2016
I'm not getting married this year, I'll be doing retro as well as Billing.. If Richie can convince younger to let me have his hatch rear floorpan seat mounts! ;)
