I thought it might be fun to take a look at other forums to see how they compare with our own.

This week, I would like to invite you to consider the Edinburgh Cruise forum at http://www.edinburghcruise.co.uk/phpBB2

This forum for local cruisers (as they like to be known) uses the same php software as our own - they've just customised it a bit. They have 836 registered users and have accumulated over 20000 posts in a remarkably short period of time.

I am particularly taken with H11 FXY, whose pink Tigra I often see around town. Her posting rate makes even our own Porty seem quiet in comparison - and she's a lot cuter too.

Hmm. She is rather. But...isn't a tigra a kit car? Or am I showing my ignorance here? Is it considered ok for girls to have them? I knew some blokes who had them you see, and...well, foxy is definitely NOT the word. Nor can I take seriously someone who names her car "foxy". After all, what does our very own foxy think of having a pink kit car named after her? Maybe she's chuffed. Maybe I'm just jealous because a) I'm not 21 any more b) I don't have a pink kit car c) if I did I couldn't drive it and d) if I did my partner would leave me.

Anyway, I had a totally different idea of what Edinburgh Cruise was about, and had expected to see various pals of mine on it :shock: .

I think you will find that Bob was similarly disappointed when he found out it was about cars.

I don't think anyone was Robin.

Now, if anyone fancies a 15 year-old Nova then have I got an EBay link for you: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 4545993750 18 hours to go - £58. My bother's a worry when it comes to cars - he's had a fair selection over the years but to sell a Toyota Supra and then the Nissan Skyline that replaced it and then go out and buy a POS Nova - geeee. Oh, and there's still the stripped out Corsa with a 2L Calibra engine in that I was learning to drive in...

:oops: I wasn't... I was...um....actually just teasing Bob. No offence meant - sorry! And my most humble apologies to Foxy and her owner - one can call one's car whatever one likes. #-o :-#
