What a weekend Jr. and I had this weekend. We needed a break from things going on at the moment, so: -

 

We arranged to go and meet someone from the forum whom we have never met, but have been in touch with for the last 15 months or so and have tried a couple of times to meet up, but various things have happened to stop either of us from attending .

 

We went down to Cardiff last Friday to see TwinTurboRich, however he knew nothing about it. We arranged it all through Rich's partner Debbie. We arranged to meet at their local pub (good place to start....lol)......:lol:

 

Ian and I arrived at about 18:30, and Debbie got Rich there for around 19:30, they went into the other bar at first, whilst I telephoned him to see what he was up to. After I rang him, Debbie brought him into the bar we were in, I put my hand out to shake Rich's hand, and at first he looked as if to say who are you? As he had just spoken to me on the phone....lol, but he then realised who it was, and his face was a picture...:ohmy:, he couldn't believe we had actually met up after all the months of being in touch on the forum.

 

We had a fantastic evening, which went on into the early morning hours back at Rich and Debbie's home, even though Rich was working Saturday morning and had to be up for 05:00!!!!

 

Rich and Debbie are a fantastic couple, and Aimee their daughter is a lovely girl. It was weired though, because Ian and I were staying at a hotel that was attached to a services, when we got to Cardiff we went over to the services to buy a couple of bits we needed, and purchased a couple of drinks from the WH Smiths' that was there. It turned out that the young lady that had served us at Smiths' was actually Aimee, so in effect we met Aimee first, we only found this out later on when we met up, although Aimee had said to Debbie that she thought it may have been us, you don't get too many scousers one in a wheelchair and with their son....lol.

 

Both Ian and I would like to say a big thank you to Rich Debbie and Aimee for the wonderful time we had whilst with them.

 

On the way down to Cardiff, we called at Hollings, and although he wasn't at home, he had arranged for his brother to be at his house in order for us to pick up an exhaust system we had purchased from him. Cheers buddy, it was really much appreciated.

 

So there you have it, 300zx.co.uk does it again, and never ceases to amaze us with the friendliness and generosity of it's members.

Nice. Did you pick up any metal bling from twin turbo rich? It is him who does all the metal cut outs isn't it?

Hi Pabs, yeah it is Rich who does all the nice shiny stainless steel bling. I have already had some bits from Rich, and they are brilliant quality items.
