Thank you to those of you who made it for the photoshoot on a very wet and miserable Monday lunch time, the Press and Journal people really appreciated it. The photos will go up in a day or so, with the article being due on Wednesday. They will also send me a PDF of the article which I'll send on once I have it. However, here are some of my amateur snaps till the others are ready

All lined up

From the front

From the back

And finaly 3 Coop owners try their best with the lovely Sarah

Great photos there. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Thanks a lot for organising this Che, I didn't get the chance to thank you at the time as I was in a hurry to get back to work. Nice to finally meet you Craig.

Was good to see them all lined up like that and despite the weather they all look really clean. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yes, thanks Che. Pity about the weather as it was nice enough in the morning and later on in the afternoon.

And at last all rumours of mattB's schizophrenia can finally be dispelled. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Ahhhh, something makes sense now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

How do we know you didn't just pay someone to turn up on the day though? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

If this were the case, that would mean i owned 2 modified 20VT's. Surely nobody has that sort of money, or mental strenght do they? (Think of the paranoia <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />)

That was the funniest thing today, when they asked about modifications, and everybody mummbled and looked at their shoes <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Very good point....
























...when do I collect the money?? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Top Mini Meet <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

and well done to Che for his organisation skills <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

You do own 2 modified fiats though.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I do indeed, but dont remind me. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Check out the P&J site chaps, type in Fiat in the keyword search and we are there. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Here is the link.

Just had a look, your engine bay is looking good Che <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Che has the cleanest engine bay I've EVER seen.

Including new cars. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Backed up with the dirtiest mind <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />:):)

The pictures came out well, he's a good photographer. So, own up, who's bought whisch ones?

Trish rolled around laughing! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm not buying any...

...honest. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Che,

We know you've already bought 10 tshirts, 10 mugs, 10 keyring holders 10...I could go on <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

haven't bought any personally <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well, it's my Christmas cards sorted.........

Honestly, have you seen the list of things you can get made up?

I think I need a jigsaw, a mug, a Teddy bear, a t-shirt, a key ring and a fridge magnet. That, and a set of cards to send to everyone who can't buy the paper LOL <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Mugs?! They do mugs??

Oooooo. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just wondering, mind. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I've scanned in the article (Black and White only)but can't upload it as Im not at home so my ftp server won't let me on <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

So have put it on filehut, linkbelow

Clicky

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Not sure about the "only the best will keep up with Subarus bit" but apart from that <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yes, not quite sure where they got that from! still.....

Will post up the PDF from them once they send it across <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Looks pretty good in colour in the paper.

Anyone else get about 101 questions about this at work today?

Yup. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Also got a few texts from my mates asking why I was wearing a chav shell suit top. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Got nothing but then none of my work colleagues are really into their cars <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That's the thing with working from home, nobody to notice. However, trish found it all quite amusing.....

Craig, no sign of the colour PDF from them yet, you should post yours in the press section? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Che,

I think you should <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Just copy the link from my post <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Good article.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


We need more publicity of the same.. then we will have better educated press reporters and their readers

I now have the full colour PDF from the newspaper of this, so if you would like a copy PM me (my photo hosting site won't accept a PDF).

Che <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Now thats much better than my scan <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Che, I can put it on my webspace when I get home if you like <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
