On a side note, who's on forza 6 here? Know I spotted Ali, anyone else?

Lol nope, I got a beard! But for some reason it doesn't show in the pics so I look like Tom bloody Selick! Lmao Have to say, if you get the chance to drive a Lambo, go for it! I want one so bad now! Lol even spent last night on forza 6 racing "my lambo!".

Was unbelievable mate! I wanna do it again!

Was unbelievable mate! I wanna do it again!

So, Gayle had got me a driving experience, so had it booked for today. Driving what? A Ferrari California and a Lamborghini Gallardo on the track! The track itself is laid out on an old air strip. The Ferrari only had a V8, but wholly cow the power was awesome, really scary the acceleration these things have! Loved it! Then got to drive the Lambo.............which has the V10! OMFG! This thing is an animal!!!! The acceleration is brutal, and it just keeps going! All steering is done racing style, and you just point it and it goes there! Totally unbelievable car, and the sound is just amazing! The instructor in the Lambo (a Welsh guy ) was a racing driver (can't remember what he races in) so showed some awesome lines to take to really make it fly. As we were on the last lap, he said instead of braking for the corner as usual, we're going straight on....................so keep the foot planted until I say brake!! I glanced at the speedo when we went through the chicane, and think it was around 120mph (it was going up so fast was hard to make it out!) but reckon we must have hit maybe 150? before braking then coming back in to the stand area. My bloody adrenaline was going faster than the car bye the end! So I've decided......bugger vtec! I want a Lambo! Massive thanks to Gayle for this amazing experience! Love ya babes!

Yeah, slam panel does need changing too. It has been done on here before, not sure whos it was though.

Whats the plans for it mate? Looks like a great base to start with.

Ill go start it now

Damn not good mate

The white one is on fb being broken for parts

Cudos for building the site from scratch mate, it's a thankless task to say the least. But if you have the passion for it, the time and knowledge the end result is well worth it. I gave up on web design/html/php as I got to the stage where my brain was tired of it (See above eyes bleeding!) hence why I packed up mt wee web design company. Too much work and hassle. That's why this site is on it's current and probably last design and platform. Even modding the IPS platform to suit our needs has been time consuming and think my passion for all this web malarky has well and truely fizzled out!. What editor did you go for for your site? Is it CKeditor, tiny mice or something similar? Hate the editor for this site but kinda stuck with it now.

Totally agree with you mate, FB does my nut in! Is that ..dash site a website youve created from scratch or is it one thats already running and you created a group on? Just noticed the url in the screenshot says its running from local_host so assume your building it yourself? Fair play to you mate, a social media platform for car enthusiasts would be interesting. Like the sound of the dturbo build too!

This has been covered a lot before mate, and tbh yeah folk live their entire life on social media sites like fb and Co. But its those sites that were killing the forum. As said before, theyre good for just sharing a random pic or chat, but hhats about it. Theres no structure to those sites at all meaning theyre useless for building up info like we have here. Yes you can run "groups" but thats all they are, no way of building up your project thread, no way of searching info on problems or "how to's". All our fb group was doing was turning civic5 from a club to just another fb group, run on a for profit site. Once fb start charging people for using it ( which they already do by selling your info) folks will doon start moaning and ditching fb! Lol

Any help always mucho appreciated mate

Well done Phil, she's looking sweet mate! That was a close one Stephen! Will get October's set up asap We deffo need more interest in this though as someone mentioned hard to get folk actually voting. Sign of the times really that Civic5 is possibly nearing its end It's had a good run though for the last 7 years! Who knows, maybe it'll pick up again? Think the problem came during that mad bad time we went through when perfectly mint mb6's, mc2's and all other m's were being broken by money hungry folk for parts to sell. Kinda killed off a lot of cracking cars. Which sucks!

Lol can see this one being a dead heat between you two. Will mean a rematch!

Old merchandise all gone mate, was all ordered for a group buy.

Sweet looking lude mate! Really suits those alloys and the mods you've done.

What colour is it mate? Mine was silver with the option 19" Rage alloys

Liking your MB T-shirt mate! I did my own one with the my aerodeck on it, printed it all myself and transfered onto a T-shirt. Looked pretty cool!
