Title: Newbie from "old" VX site
Post by Charliem on 08. Aug 2006 at 10:06

Hello everyone.

If this site is as friendly as I found the old one, then greetings. However, my main reason for joining was to track down your friendly administrator Laidback 66 who has been more elusive to me than Lord Lucan. Therefore, like Stanley, can I assume this is you Dr Livingston?

Since I am sure it is, would you mind getting in contact with me asap so that we can finish the proposed works on the Omega plus, now, getting it back on the road again?

ATB

Charlie

Yes, there will only ever be one Laidback66 - thank goodness!

Hi Charles. :)

Apologies, had problems with phone (again...tip, avoid Motorola phones!) and been all over the place with work! >:(

I will be in contact to sort your car very soon.

Thank you for a rather touching welcome. But you are right it is more friendly than the other site, if that is possible. How Vauxhall must wish it generated the same customer loyalties...

Whats' more I've re-established comms with Laidback 66 which is a minor miracle considering the lenghts I have been to to get hold of him. My final options were motorcycle despatch, arrow or carrier pigeon and I'm not sure that any of them would have gotten through either! [Sorry but you deserved that Laidback!].

Anyway, I do have a probelm with the old Elite that has suddenly stopped. Laidback has promised to help me out as originally agreed, so barring any more comms problems hopefully we will be road worthy again pronto.

See you all in and around the site, and thanks again for such a warm welcome.

Charlie ::)

Welcome mate.

I hear that Laidback likes to help people in person and all he asks in return is a Pint - which in you case will obviously come with a return ticket to Melbourne (tip: he only flies Business) ;D

Markjay: Of course this is Melbourne, Derbyshire not Melbourne Australia...even so I thoroughly recommend a pint of The Rev'd Eaton, Sawley Breweries finest ale. Laidback, you help me out and I will happily float you in the stuff.
