I guess you heard a very much dramatized version when you last met with Nick and Daddykins LOL. The fact was that someone did a wheelspin and all the old biddies at brooklands or possibly just one complained to Nickypoos which made him cwy and wee wee in his pullups but it was ok because daddykins had some clean ones and told Nickypoos that is was a really good wee wee and he should do it again.

Sorry Guys but I really do not see the funny side at all! Two members of this forum worked bl**dy hard to make a special day out for the others. I for one enjoyed myself and was really dismayed when told we were banned because some stupid cnut couldnt obey the well stated rules!! Upsetting the old boy on the west gate was also not a good idea although I can quite understand why it happened! The argument over whether or not Nick and his Dad and some others should be allowed on this forum was over something totally different and although it left animosity it should not be confused with the Brooklands get together which was a high point in the life of this forum! PS, Matt you were not even there so how can you possibly comment!! I apologise if this wobbly offends but I felt it had to be said!! I also hope this does not run into another one of our famous family spats!! |

Sorry Matt. It was just your comment to Marcus's post as well as the post itself. I for one actually missed you on the day! This chestnut has been dead for some time now and there is no need to resurect it with tactless and inacurate comments. The complaint was made to Brooklands and, to their credit, Nick and his Dad worked really hard to get the ban lifted. I seem to remember that we were all very pleased this had been done and appreciated their effort on our behalf. What happened after is something totally seperate and although it upset many and left a bad feeling, personal innuendo will upset many members who enjoyed the day. Now can we please drop it and move on to better things. |

Take a chill pill ben and see the post as intended with some humour. Oh and i am sure you only know the back scene details as posted by nick and daddy. No offence intended but this subject has a habit of ressurecting and i was just responding to Toffs post. What i am getting at is that its all like a game of chinese whispers as nobody really knows what happenned if anything or was it just Nick endorsing his self importance. Tension can run high when Nick is still interfering with our forum by editing other websites displaying links to here but actually redirecting to his site. So if anybody would like to question him regarding this matter and listen to his lies then please feel free. So regarding working really hard please remember we work pretty hard here behind the scenes too. Marcus Edited by marcus.hopkins, Mon Oct 13, 2008 12:30 pm.

Sorry mate it just felt so wrong! I quite understand about the other matter involving the forum but having been there when the sh1t hit the fan at Brooklands I feel it was unfair to confuse the two! Oh, should I take the chill pill before or after a meal! Takes a lot for me to loose my cool!!

well as far as i am concerned ,when i phoned them up after someone said we were banned,and before they supposedly sorted it out....................i was told ,if they could prove it was a club member then yes we were banned,but if they couldnt,then no,but the old fart on the west gate didnt make life any easier either.................and as far as i am aware,they couldnt prove it was one of us..............someone only heard a car wheel spinning,that place was camera'd to death and it wasnt captured on cctv...............and as i pointed out to them,they were 2 190's there that had nothing to do with us,and in this country its innocent until proven guilty and if they were to ban us because they assumed it was one of us,then legal action would be sort.....................however i was told if we went back they would keep a close eye on us....lol.......................mountain out of a mole hill comes to mind BTW it was a good day.................but its one of those places.once you 've been there and done that...............i wouldnt do it again........................and someone correct me if i'm wrong but didnt mercedes world say that if we turned up there as a club and parked in their car park they wanted £250 fee ?..........

As the aforementioned cupid stunt, I'd just like to say: a) I put my hand up straight away and said I had wheel span on the hill exiting the car park. No one then contacted me about it, or asked me what had happened. b) I did not apologise as tbh I thought it was ridiculous. I had a tiny bit of wheel spin on an incline of damp tarmac. It was not deliberate, lairy or in any way dangerous. I appreciated the work that had gone into the day, but thought that it was all a storm in a tea cup. |

and i must say in your defence bri .........................that bank was also covered in wet leaves,which made it treatriously slippery.................coming down it into brooklands i touched the brakes and nearly went straight on, down the embankment and the road leading from the main road to the gate was even worse

I seem to remember that the concensus at the time was that they were not talking about you Bri. Virtually everyone span a little on the slope up to the gate. I was told that the culprit was seen doing it by the office estate near to the main road. Apparently Brooklands get a lot of hassle from the site owners who own the access road leading to the brooklands gate. It could have been a forum member although we all had the rules explained, or another 190 owner (a couple were on site) or even a w124 owner (can be confused by lay members of the public). While I enjoyed the GTG I see no reason to return as there is no MB presence. However MB world is a venue we should use. I can see no issue with what we want to do and strongly suggest that we just turn up! |

You've Guessed Worng! So to clear things up, I have Never met Nickypoos in my life but met his dad (sorry cant remember his name ) with another 190 owner at Winchester services for coffee and a chat . We spoke about are cars what we have done to them whats wrong with them and what we are hoping to do to them in the future. I also RECOMMENDED THIS FORUM to the other guy. At no point did Nickypoos dad mention, talk about or slag off this Forum or any of its members, He came across as a nice bloke and very helpful, But you cant judge someone in an hour and a half over coffee. I dont know what happened at Brooklands and i dont care My interest is cars and not men bitching like little school girls Out of curiousity Marcus what made you think im mates with Nickypoos and his Dad? |

Bri, I am pretty sure it wasnt you. Many cars had a little slip at the top of that hill, it was wet and covered in leaves. I really dont think thats what they meant and for most of the rest of it there were many members around and nobody saw anything. I am pretty sure it was a missunderstanding of some sort but it certainly left me feeling a bit down on the venue. After what seemed to be on the day a very succesful event, raising plenty of money for them through ticket sales and the raffle, then to be told we were banned. And I agree with shrekky, It was excellent for the photos, and it was cool but I have kind of done it now, not worth the fee to go round and read the stuff again. Tensions ran high last time so I do think everyone should keep this thread to the discussion of whether we should have another one. For the money we spent between us we could probably hire an entire track for half day. |

Well, as you all know I could not make Brooklands, so I wasnt there, and I dont know what happened and, to be honest, I dont want to. It seems that there were some petty problems, so I dont think its a good idea to go there again. I am looking forward to Jeremys North London GTG. A nice pub, good food and so on, and a nice big car park for pictures. Brooklands was in the past, time to look forward. See you all at Old Redding. Edited by MadMike, Mon Oct 13, 2008 5:24 pm.
