fao everyone in chat last night

[pitslayer]

after kierans little story, much brand, some finely cut fried potatoe treats, and a few cigars, i got thinking


















.....it hurt.

for £104 each, we could rent this for a weekend, for 12 people(6 bedrooms)
http://www.uniquehomestays.co.uk/unique/details.asp?id=546&country=6&start=1
for 3 nights 14 people at £176 each
http://www.uniquehomestays.co.uk/unique/details.asp?id=476&country=6&start=1
or 2 nights £152 for 22 people
http://www.uniquehomestays.co.uk/unique/details.asp?id=466&country=6&start=1

we should obviously ring in advance and find out, what the garage doors are like, how much they would cost to replace, how strong they are, and wether the club insurance would cover it. but it should be good other than that/pan /pan /pan

now wheres that brandy.......

[Kieran]

Heh! Problem is sleeping rooms - there may be room for 20+ people, but by the time you factor in partners, it starts to get a but cosy!

Mind you, you might be onto something - a day event at a National Trust type place could provide a stunning backdrop for some good car pictures.:afro:

pitslayer I just noticed what time you posted.. you must of been thinking hard and long about it..! lol

[HMG1K]

I'll ring ahead and check the price includes a gardener to rake the gravel path prior to our arrival...

I can hear the crunch of fine pebbles already under rubber!

[miller]

yes but how much the fine brandy and could we take each other seriously enough sat around in smoking jackets....oh and then theres the smoking ban too..so that image is slightly ruined :pimp2: :pimp2: :pimp2: :pimp2: :pimp2: :pimp2:

Good idea and like said am sure a stately home would prove a car photographers dream!


Mike

[pitslayer]

notice i picked ones that mentioned nothing about smoking....its not saying were not allowed to smoke fine cigars

[TAR]

I'm not too sure where this post originated, but if you want a good mansion as a backdrop for the car, you could try Waddesdon Manor nr Aylesbury. It belongs to Lord Rothschild (who owns most of Buckinghamshire) and is a National Trust property.

[pitslayer]

does it have a smoking room, with complimentary brandy smoking jackets and cigars????
how about a garage door for kieran?

[Kieran]

how about a garage door for kieran?

Or a seminar on 'How to identify the correct kind of gearbox' for PitPony?/pan

[pitslayer]

or a how about tubs of oil for kieran to run over /pan lol

[Fully]

Oh
po
ta
toes

Man thats just to far for me to go :P

[HMG1K]

or a how about tubs of oil for kieran to run over /pan lol

Or how to spot differences between a facelift and non-facelift VR4... Followed by an open discussion on what first drew you to a VR4...

The session could be called 'Best of the Threads'! /pan

ohhhh ssshhh and pass me the brandy lol.


but what you guys think to a meet like that? get some old black and white photos or sepia photos taken by old camera of the VR4`s

[Kieran]

Mr. Mann, what say you? Reckon this kinda thing would be viable?

Could even have a ClubVR-4 Murder Mystery weekend at a manor somewhere - It was Kieran, in the Garage, with the polisher.......................

Thumbs up for that idea!

Might even be worth adding a poll to this thread..

[Kieran]

I feel a need to don a smoking Jacket and start smoking a pipe, what what!:pimp2: :afro:

[miller]

Sounds like we have a plan then!!


Mike


hmmmmm not sure if its my colour

[Kieran]

'Ang on, I'll just go and prod Nick!:scholar:

[pitslayer]

murder mystery weekend would rock. It was pitslayer in the study with the automatic gearbox identification guide

[DickBarton]

How about Ardverikie, where they filmed Monarch of the Glen? Loads of space for driving and fine car shots with stunning scenery...only problem is location - it's half way between Dalwhinnie and Fort William, but they do farmhouses that sleep up to 16 folk for dead cheap (well dead cheap for a week between 16!)...

[pitslayer]

i think this could be a really good idea to do

[Nick Mann]

We have talked about a murder/mystery weekend before. I personally like the idea, but they are never as cheap as people want them to be!

Mixing it with nice photos of a posh house/rolling scenery could make it even more appealing. Leave it with me and I'll start a new thread for discussion.

[Kieran]

Cheers Nick! :thumbsup:

[HMG1K]

Ok... how about these images to set the scene for a potential stately home conference / murder mystery weekend / general all-round jolly...

Imagine...

[miller]

brilliant find! exactly how i pictured it. Is that Keiran in sharp grey suit doing the meet and greet or valet parking?!!!! If its valet parking he is clearly not up to the job as there is three waiting to be parked:happy: :happy: :happy: /rally



Mike

[Johnny_Cashed]

Kieran valet parking?? Hmmm, think I'd park mine myself, on the right side of a garage door.

Oh just stop already! My ego's only just out of intensive care!! /duh

[bradc]

actually Kieran could be quite good, he would clean all of the cars if they are dirty :)

[pitslayer]

them stick them through the garage doors after. A line of galants through each garage door and oil everywhere then he can clean them after

[Kieran]

What he said! :veryangry

[pitslayer]

ok kieran, i wont bruise your ego, or take your pride that much anymore.....i have a far better plan, more cunning
