In the absence of any response to my question I’d suggest that if people are so desperate to know if there is anything we should know about whether the club is being taken over or not etc etc etc, that someone formally asks the club?On the back of recent shareholder activity has anyone actually asked the club for a formal update?

Im sure that if they can tell us anything , they will, if they can’t, they won’t.
If it leads to someone asking the club rather than going round in circles ad nauseam then any thread is fair game I reckonWrong thread.
Oy, that was mine.Escort Sport, Monza Blue.
Ah the R32! What a great car, had 5 different ones as company cars, we only kept them for 6 months hence the number I had. Didn’t care at all then about 18mpg (on a slower day!) as it was super quick, handled superbly and that noise!Briefly had a BMW M5 3.5 litre straight six..................... that was like a Jumbo Jet taking off, not much happened between 0-40mph but once it got its legs going it was a magnificent drive. I gave it some toe one quiet evening on the M11 Southbound, my nerve went at around 140+mph because the world was passing by very,very quickly.
Downside is it cost nearly £80 to fill it up in the early 1990`s!
Mrs EYMk2 had a Golf R32 around 2006/7 , that was another brute of a car with a 3.2 litre lump in it, downside it was permanent Haldex 4wd so ate tyres and drank petrol!
We`ve both mellowed now and got clean licences again.
I had the Mk4 Golf R32, 2003. Short shifter, coilovers, porsche brakes, I miss it, fantastic fun! Sold it too soon as prices spiralled now.Briefly had a BMW M5 3.5 litre straight six..................... that was like a Jumbo Jet taking off, not much happened between 0-40mph but once it got its legs going it was a magnificent drive.

Loved that R32 sound! Used to open the window going through narrow streets or tunnels to get the full effect.I had the Mk4 Golf R32, 2003. Short shifter, coilovers, porsche brakes, I miss it, fantastic fun! Sold it too soon as prices spiralled now.
Been lucky enough to own a BMW M2 2017, Merc C63 2014 with the 6.3 lump. As for older cars, my second car was an 86 MK2 Golf driver, slow but looked the nuts!
Currently ventured into JDM scene with a 96 MK4 Supra Twin Turbo and an 2003 EP3 Type R Civic.
I have to say the R32 probably sounded best of the bunch, helluva noise.
It's temptingLoved that R32 sound! Used to open the window going through narrow streets or tunnels to get the full effect.
Have often considered whether to buy one as a second car for sentimental reasons but decided against thinking that everyone else would have caned theirs like I did mine!

I can't compete with you guys. 1st car Fiat X19, rusted out and the I blew the engine lol. Then got a MG Metro Turbo. Loved that car. The I got married had kids and my cars became boring and sensible. Did have a Subaru sports tourer for a while recently.
So what is the best car for takeovering?
Manual or automatic ? Race mode ?
Wow. Looks like this thread has well and truly run out of steam! Perhaps we will get some news in our Christmas stockings
Got to be one of those Tesla things............ just switch on and toe down.
