cruiser647 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 What's wrong with the 123? You've only just got it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I went once - never again. The BMW Car Club are properly up themselves and have some strange views. They seemed to love old BMW's and hate those with new BMW's. They also had very strange views on driving styles. In fact a few people on here once did a joint run with the BMWCC. Nobody did anything untoward but the fact the old cars couldn't keep up with the new cars on some stretches resulted in them referring to us as "Wacky Racers". Shark was on that run and a good few others were. One guy in a mint 635CSi, who drove just like everyone else did, took real exception to being unable to keep up on a twisty route and put his pet lip out big and proper. They seem to think they were some kind of "elite" BMW owners and frankly appeared to have very little sense of humour at all. I'm sure they're not the majority, but my experience of the event was that it was all rather fussy and a lot of the cars 'on show' would be better off scrapped.

garcon magnifique Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Many official single make car clubs seem to be similar. Went to a PCGB do with a mate once. Once. Fecking freakshow. What we did find was that the PCGB boys that actually go racing are a much more approachable and social bunch - I guess it takes a different temperament to actually use the cars properly rather than spend all your free time polishing them and getting anal over a chrome blemish. I might turn up to this do at Gaydon - not been to the museum for a while, so having a look in there and at the classic Beemers in the carpark should be quite good fun. I'll see if I can coincide it with a piss up in Leamington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I don't do car clubs any more, got fed up of having to be offensive to people dressed in manufacturer merchandise, i.e. BMW polo shirt, BMW coat, BMW umbrella, shoes, pretend racing suit etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Agree with comment re pcgb, total bunch on stuck up idiots when i went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 PCGB is very different from Region to Region. Region 3 is based predominantly around drinking and BBQs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Region 16 is based around sandals with socks, beards and a deep set aversion to answering questions and emails sent to them*. Anyone been to a TIPEC meeting? I hear they are better... *(although the organisers have just changed, so may improve). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Right, well I've just discovered that some of the people us "Wacky racers" did a joint-meet-run with are going to this. Mac, don't go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 There's a couple of straights on the B road to Banbury where you'd be able to check your limiter. That'd impress the old boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm trying to think who did that run. Milo did cos we went to his mates Chip shop (twas nice too). Shark90 did too. I think Jim was there, maybe a couple from North of the border too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
