FCCUK Bingo

Following popular request, I've decided it's time to bring this back. I have set out below the original which also dates back to when we had Bingo "spots" (and check out the old forum sections!). Some are a bit out of date - but will put a smile on the face of those who remember Kevin, Kingpleb, Willychins, Coupecraig and others.

All updated suggestions welcome. When we have our list, I'll set out the full rules.

2. A thread suggesting that an FCCUK event should be more towards at least two different compass directions (eg. it is not South enough and it is not West enough)

3. Someone organising an event that they subsequently suggest they cannot make.
4. Football being a reason for non-attendance at a meet (rugby or soccer)

Can't believe that those bad boys were missed from the list.

What are these yellow pointy things of which you speak?

They go on the wheel nuts and...... hang on I see what you did there

The list is from the original game - and is 6 years old!

Whatever those yellow pointy things do, I'm not sure they were doing it then

A thread complaining that the forum has got really quiet/bitchy/isn't as funny as Punch used to be...

Other Cars:

What next? Claims of Coupes being faster than Lamborghinis? They'll start banning non-believers soon.

[\quote]What next? Claims of Coupes being faster than Lamborghinis? They'll start banning non-believers soon. [/quote]

some coupes are faster than Lambo's - Fiat coupes may well not be (but only NA's)

Brewster being far too negative about the "real world" performance of the coupe Fiat.

The list is now closed. I've taken some out and modified some.

I need a volunteer to take this on (I won't be doing it as I'm going to be on here less).
