Thrustyjust Meets ..........................................

[Thrustyjust]

So, something new I had thought to do. In real truth its just an excuse to go and drive my car to meet other members and chat cars and stuff. I am obviously not starting this thread at the right time of year, but hopefully I can meet up throughout the future years, at different places and talk mainly cars in an off the cuff interview with fellow members and people who are involved with WSCC .

You can tell me to sod off if you want  and if you think I am going to Dufftown for an hours chat @Gary Taylor - Scotland AO , however much I would like to, Skype may take a precedence to driving. 

I hope it may answer a few questions of aspirations and dreams that people may have within the club.

I will try my best to get the first one done later today, so watch this space.

Gary is coming down to me for December 15th.

Fancy a weekend in Scarborough.

Its the wifes birthday weekend sadly Geoffrey. If I annoy her enough, she might kick me out and I can come and play

Anyway, Round One.

Today I have paid a visit to Carlie at A Plan. Now some of you have already known of this visit , from the 'banter' I was given on another thread. So, over toast and tea for breakfast, I had to quickly scribble a few questions to ask her when I popped in. I was asked to bring the Westie down to the shop, as they wanted a new picture of another car , hopefully to be used for their adverts for next year. 

So, apparently , I was heard a way off before parking up . Nothing like making a bit of an entrance, I suppose. I was asked to park out front , so can push the car to the right spot. So, after a few photos involving Carlie avoiding the traffic on the A4  and the photoshoot of a lady expecting ( yes, you read it here first) and never thought I would see a pregnant lady clamber into the car for a photo !,  we headed indoors for interrogation.

So Carlie , what is your job title ?    I am an insurance consultant and marketing manager for A Plan. 

How long have you worked at A Plan ?  I have been here for 2 1/2 years now

Age ? Yes, I know , not I am not printing it !!

Current Car ? I have a Mini Cooper JCW Convertible .

Dream Car ? I wouldnt mind a 60's Mustang , one day !!

Any stories to tell in the insurance world ? Just the usual stuff really. We do seem to have people who seem to think their cars are worth far more than they actually are, which can be interesting , when we discuss it with them.

Pints or Halves ?  Er............... Pints 

Future Things ? Being a mum and also wouldnt mind having a kit car myself.

Weird cravings in you current state ? I seem to have a liking for Olives, even though I have never liked them 

Carbon Fibre ? No, not at the moment. The only bits I can find for the Mini is black and I want red stuff to match the rest of the car.

So, I hope with the mods you do inform your insurance company ? Oh, yes, of course I will 

So, with my hurried questions answered, I bid farewell. I believe you will be seeing Carlie at the awards event soon, so make sure you offer her a chair or she will bring the big bouncy ball hidden under the front desk to give her comfort.

Oh and thanks for chocolates and cuppa. Very kind of A Plan, who are great people and lucky to have them locally and also as a main sponsor for our club.

Steve, I will delete the thread and forget the idea of trying something new, if this is how it is received ? We can then just write the usual crap on here. Not how I was expecting it to go................ but hey 

 

[Steve (sdh2903)]

Chill out. I was only pulling your chain.

Think you'd make a good southern version of parky. Who's next on the hit list?

right while I appreciate what your trying to do here, and am looking forward to it 

WHATS WRONG with travelling up here ???????? Soft southerner can’t come north of hadrians wall ? I mean where’s your commitment ? 

Seriously ( really can’t believe I just used that word in context with TJ) it’s a good idea crack on 

[Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO]

Well done @Thrustyjust! Nice article, who's your next victim? Julian Turner?

Don't have a pop at poor Thrusty, his hormones were clearly all over the place....oh, wait a minute: that was Carlie.

 

Looking forward to the next episode................

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Great idea, looking forward to another installment!

Ignore them TJ, they’re just jealous!

 

[Thrustyjust]

The 'main' idea of this was to meet other members, but just happened I was asked to let my car be photo'd outside their shop, so thought I would try this on A Plan first . Carlie 'is' going to be on here probably next week, if I link the thread to her, so please be polite and nice . You can edit your posts if you wish. 

I do have a list of potential members , in my head currently , but as I said, weather and time of year is against my plan. 

I just am trying something new. Something to develop into a more interesting thread and focus on individuals involved with the club . There is a lot of members here but only a few attempt to try different things to write about especially on these dark miserable non driving months.
