Default Crooked Billet on Sunday

Just two questions.

- When do we turn up?

- After driving to the meet on Sunday with my badly leaking exhaust I felt brave and started driving the Volvo to work again. Bad idea. The exhaust broke off completely on the way home so it's no longer driveable.
Am I allowed to drive a non-Volvo to the meet?

Oh... One more un-related question. I seem to have lost the menu with smileys in it or how ever it worked before. How do I find the smiley list to insert?

Thumbs up The Crooked Billet

Hi Henrik, the meet on Sunday starts at midday, of course your very welcome to bring a non-Volvo . The smilies box should appear on the right-hand side of the reply box - what do you see?

There's nothing on either side of the box I'm typing in. Below there are smileys but they're for the post not to insert in the text...

In your User CP / Edit Options have you changed the "Message Editor Interface" to Basic Editor? Just wondering if in text mode these are off? As IC says there should be a smiley box to the right of the text editing area.

Thanks

Great looking maybe, but still had 8 MOT failures about two months ago. It's off the road till I get the time/money to fix it. Only got one driveable car left and it's not doing too well either :-(

Sounds like fun.

I almost bought one a couple of years ago - I will rephrase that I did buy one - not the best example but it has the 218PS engine and beige leather Recaro seats plus the manual gearbox. Mechanically it was going through the incredibly tough Swiss MOT so should have been OK - even if the bodywork and interior needed tidying.

Only problem was the garage dropped it off the ramp and twisted the chassis!! I was gutted!
