Speaking as a Londoner, who actually lives within London, i would like to point out that whereas there are currently 2 London pub meets (allegedly).... neither of said meets are actually IN London!
One is near Heathrow, which is outside London, and the other is in Surrey, which again, is OUTSIDE London ;D
Just saying... yeah!
And i would have posted this in the London Meets thread... but that thread appears ot be locked, and i cant reply to it.

Mungo you come on the forum asking for help which is given by purists  the same purists that gave you a section to post on the forum so you wouldn't feel left out! Mungo QuoteIn any case, hard liners frown in my direction as i try to breathe new life into old cars, so a couple of hours with purists fails on pretty much every level it has to be said, as i don't want people tutting every time i mention the Range Rover seats i've fabricated into my Coupe... and again when i say 5 speed manual conversion... and again when i say starts with a button not a key... and so it goes on!
I will take the purists side it takes a lot of effort by people like me and loads of other guys on the forum to keep the P5/P5b as it was turned out from the factory! the breathing new life into old motors is not the sole privilege of guys who modify it takes just as much effort by the purists! By making quotes like yours you come across as aggressive as in your last post to David which IMHO was totally out of order  Mungo QuoteThink i might do a breakaway thing and start my own independent P5 country... Passport to Pimlico style.David was correct you are stating forming a breakaway group on the P5 Forum the same forum which is maintained by the guy you are having a dig at and spends his time free of charge maintaining it on your behalf and others of course. I would suggest if you are a member it is your right to attend the Annual Meeting and put your self forward as a Rep for your area and see how much effort it takes to get a regular bunch of guys to attend each month  |

And even if i don't want to mix with purists, at no point did i say "non p5", so i stand corrected and would appreciate it if you would man up and amend your original comments about me being "non p5". even if i do the passport to Pimlico thing, it would still be for the P5 Rover... what part of that do you not understand? I am a P5 man... i own a coupe. I don't like the hassles of old school so i'm bringing my car up to date with modifications. I would also like south east London to be a region in its own right, so why don't you stop being part of the problem, and instead, try to become part of the solution? Seriously, what does it matter to you if south east London and Kent are seperated? So much negative energy is being put into keeping south east London and Kent together... why? Is the P5 club now a dictatorship? But getting back to the point, If i'm not going to see eye to eye with purists, you know, the ones who leave their cars inside a temp controlled bubble until its show time, where they trailer it to and from shows and then complain if they don't win first prize!... THEM.... but if i'm not going to see eye to eye with THEM... It's totally pointless trying to force me into a union with them... isn't it. And David was NOT CORRECT, as what i said about doing a breakaway passport to Pimlico style p5 group was said as a hypothetical issue out of the frustration of a draconian governance who are hell bent on forcing people together who clearly do not want to be together.... THE MARRIAGE OF KENT AND SOUTH EAST LONDON IS A FAILED MARRIAGE... ACCEPT THE DIVORCE PAPERS AND MOVE ON IN LIFE OK. How much easier would life be if you put all the negative energy you have into being positive

I've just done my thread but before reading this one.
Its obvious everyone is getting frustrated with one another here and this is fuelling this argument.
Mungo, as a modifier, is frustrated at club types who would frown on his modifications. Rightly or wrongly he is looking to start a meet which is local to him and is not weighed down by the stuffiness of some peoples attitudes (I'm not pointing the finger at ANYONE here). In fact I have experienced this myself when discussing valuation of my convertible project.
P5 Pete and admin are blinkered to the needs and wants of the club, being defensive that a seperate meet might damage the club. In reality any meet advertised by the forum and attended by Rover owners and enthusiasts will benefit the club by usage of the forum and knowledge that they met through it! This might even lead to people joining.
I think everyone needs to take a step back right now, an argument on a forum is like road rage. Its easy to be short/rude/angry/confrontational when you are not standing in front of someone. But just like Road rage its pointless and achieves nothing but let you blow off steam and further annoy the other person.
Lets all be real men about it and leave it at that.

Mungo,
Take a chill pill for goodness sake.
No one has prevented you from having a pub meet anywhere you want. You were simply advised some time ago that you were trying to start a pub meet at the same time as a neighbouring area which might not be the best of ideas.
Set a date and a venue and I hope it is a success for you, you're allowed to go to the pub with whoever you want.
What I would say is that IN MY PERSONAL OPINION if you would wish to be a regional rep and supported by the Club I would not expect to see some of the comments you have made on this forum about other forum members or the Club.
Peter

Ok I am (again) locking this thread.
Mungo, thanks for your email and content, including the expletives. Clearly you are unhappy with the way the club and members on this forum behave, so it may best for your 'anger management issues' to take a breather from this forum and all that it fails to offer you.

If it were a dictatorship you would find it hard to get any help! it just seems most of your posts tend to be anti OLD SCHOOL owner the very guys who try and help. I never mentioned none P5!I gave you a solution "go to the meeting and put your case forward" what part of that is "hard to understand?" it may indeed be a good idea?
Just CHILL and remember you are one of many with their own opinions and don't come down to posting aggressive comments. I like others on the forum will try to help take this gesture as it is intended OLD SCHOOL or not we are here to enjoy our cars  The written word can be misread  I agree lets step back and get on with what we enjoy OLD School or not |

the same purists that gave you a section to post on the forum so you wouldn't feel left out!
