Surely people can meet up without formally inviting every forum memeber anytime they take their car to meet someone?

I normally do not agree with any of your posts, this is a first

So if I go to my doctor with a severe pain in my left nut and if I post about that on boards, is it then boards related?

You'd post that on the motors thread would you? Obviously not motors related. Don't be ridiculous

This was a car meet of all boardsies and posted on a motors thread where nobody else was invited. I thought as a group you'd be a touch more welcoming especially after the whole clique thing in the chat thread, remember that MM...?

Oh and now you have Power Pants to back you up lucky you guys.



Great sense of community in here chaps.

From what I saw it was a Facebook meet. Plenty of people have posted mini meet pics on here without the others getting their vaginas in a twist over it. To he honest we used have a few cork meets regularly with the same crew for the most part in recent years and it wasn't boards related at all.

The replies to the pics posted might be an indication of the attraction of such a meet.

didnt 166, dgt and a couple of others used to meet up to wash themselves?

Dont recall anyone really caring or passing comment over this?

meant wash their cars themselves

Call it what you want. Keep the foul analogies to yourself though.


If there was a meet organized by 10 of us in Port Laoise (which is in Leinster) and people weren't told on here and we then posted pictures you can bet your dollar that those from Cork and other counties would be wondering what's going on.

Pretty simple really.

I'm indifferent to all of this but yet again you have turned up to turn this into a disaster.

Why you post in this forum is beyond me!

why do you? :rolleyes:

my opinions on here are often different to the majority on here. However, I offer reasons and facts to back up my opinions. It seems if you disagree with some on here you are not welcome.

Until I break any rules which are the same for everyone posting on this forum, I will continue to post as I feel the need to.

Meets happen all over the country everyday. Most people are on multiple forums, Facebook groups, WhatsApp chats and the like and these things just pop up. I really don't see the issue with a few people meeting up in a greasy spoons car park for a chat.

More pics less talk :P

That's your perception but I disagree. I post regularly championing budget tyres, motor tax, pics of classic cars etc.

Just because I dont wish to ever meet any of you in real life or become online buddies, it does not mean I can not forum here too

thanks

Your without a doubt a massive troll in instances like this though PP, you come in with your big spoon.

You don't have to know us, there's plenty that we don't know either.

You're missing the point entirely. There's no problem with people meeting up for a chat and a fry, none whatsoever, but I was enquiring why the offer was extended seeing as we are supposed to be a community..?

You also ignored what I said about a meet in Midway and not telling people or making a thread. Guaranteed others would be (rightly so) wondering why the offer wasn't extended.



For me it sums up the sense or lack of community here.

yawn, Id like to see more pics in this thread and less chit chat directed at me

Indeed.

Would have loved to have a chat as I'm in Cork the whole weekend.

Ah well.

your horse is so high i am surprised you have not broken all your limbs at this stage.

He said people met up previously to wash cars, don't see anything particularly untowardly about that.

Then again I dont have the mind set of wanting posters you dont like banned and sending out snidey pm's to mods.

Also GvidoR i took these especially for you

nice Audi, but the silly German plate ruins it.

I really don't get the negativity here tbh.
This wasn't a boards meet, it was a group of friends, most of whom happen to be on boards (like the majority of the country) meeting up for a chat.

I've personally met most of the guys from other forums or through mutual friends. I'd chat to a number of them on a regular basis, unlike the majority of posters here in motors.

Sorry if a few people feel excluded but frankly you need to grow up.

Tis a sad day for the motors forum if a few guys can't post up a few pics of their cars without getting crap about it.

Ah youre missing the point of this meet. It wasn't a boards meet, twas the first inaugural Irish motoring forum meet

As for meeting up with your fine self to wash our cars during the infamous hosepipe ban of 2014 by my lovely mammy, I'm confused as to how that constitutes a meet.
Suppose I should have made a meet thread for the day I went and bought my old 156 with yourself and dgt in tow

It was a group of locals for the most part and nothing to do with here. Does everything need to come through here to be screened? Community doesn't involve living in each others pockets. I think all there knew the others meeting up, some of the people there i'd consider friends in real life. Meeting up with your buddies isn't a sin surely?

Personally I wouldn't be a bit put out by others meeting up. I see that as a good thing, people out having the craic with more like minded people. That's a good thing.
