USE IT DAY

Postby turbodog » Mon Jun 22, 2015 11:50 am

Too many Alpines seem to live in there garages So why not pick a day when we agree to take our cars out on the road .May be August 15/16 even if its only to the shops Take a photo and post it on the site I will give a prize for the best photo Andrew

Excellent idea.... Fingers crossed, I will have the A610 sorted by then, so can try a double take for both A610 and GTA.. ( If I have not sold it by then! )
Everyone, try to take good quality photos, that way I can use them as website back grounds!! Always good to see members cars on the site..
Great idea Andrew... :super

Nice one Andrew.

As an added incentive any member who posts a pic of themselves and their Alpine whilst doing a "Woollard" I will personally donate £5 to cancer research. So you have a chance to hurt my wallet and help a charitable cause. Plus it will be fun (I hope).

Here are ze Germans showing how it's done and not done:

What a good idea, you will be down 10 quid if I still own two by that date. May I point out a "Woolard" seems to be a front engine thing.

What the.....? A 2 door Renault 25 with a Volvo front end grafted on. Or is that actually some Volvo I've never seen before?

I'd guess that one foot on the door sill may be an acceptable alternative where the car is bumper-less :angel
