Thrustyjust Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thrustyjust Posted November 3, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2018 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. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrustyjust Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 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. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
