i remember the hayfield meet but about 2006 mabey 2007 just after i had joined ,mind you i only did a flying visit other commitments at the time meant i couldent stay the weekend but i enjoyed my few hours there . the cromford one unfortunately last minute problems with my beddy propshaft bearing caused a miss on that but according to form went down great . mind you i believe there are few members if any left on here that attended those meets .
was it a nice place in those days to be in my oppinion kimbobill, well yes the site had its problems and i beleive at one bit phill was very close to shutting the whole site down because of two or three members personal problems they overspilled onto the forum and all hell broke loose you could say ,but one or two of us maybe helped to persuade phill to persevere well thats how it seemed to me . as for phill that belive you and me put some dam hard work and patience into this forum and many many hours and i belive sank much money out of his own pocket into it also has in my mind received two or three nasty incidents from some members one only a few days or weeks ago on here that frankly i would have put my size 10 pit boots up there jaksies and sent them packing frankly but phill seems to accept there will always be the few that have more mouth than brain of the three i know about the worst one was the abuse he seemed to receive from a certain member or members over the purchase of his latest van . another was the time he attended a meet in i belive his car and i believe was totally ignored by many of the so called forum members on here disgusting in my opinion ,mabey because he dident have a big expensive motor home to brag about and show off to others ,as some on here seem to be highly involved with as for the so called abuse some members throw about on here ,well there more to be pitied than anything ,ha ha ,i have some times made remarks and put posts on i suppose just to wind them up ,and it has seemed to work mostly . anyway ,this is just a few of my obsevations on the site and some of our dear members , i after a few years vanless am looking for another one ,going to be a bit of a search finding the one that suits , realy got to be a bedford idealy prefer a cf1 but the later face lift and cf2 will do but its got to be under three grand as i feel spending many thousands on a van thats got the potential to have more damp than a fish tank a waste , and i can update change or restore the van as i reqire , i also intend doing a few classic veihcle shows/events next summer aswell . anyway enough ramblings from me and i will leave certain menbers to pick over my terrible punctew ation and lowsi spelling . oh i could be perfect at the last two things if i used the magic of this old lappy that cost 35 quid three years ago from crack converters and the internet to correct my spelling ,grammar and that old old favorite punctuation ,as i assume a few do .anyway just a few thourghts on a basicaly exelent forum
as i belive the old saying goes ,just dont let the loonies take over the assylum . have fun .:wave::wave::wave::wave::lol-053:
