		So after having a trip down memory lane (and the dark depths of our photo bucket accounts) in the pub the other night, myself and Niall thought it would be pretty cool to get a thread up of old club related photos. Especially for anyone who has joined relatively recently, its good to see the shenanigans from the past. 
Rules are:
 
No maximum submissions. 
Photos must have a (relatively brief) explanation 
Try and keep them club related, opposed to an individual thing. 
Normal rules apply with regards to posting photos.
 
I'll kick it off from circa 2011/12
 
Chris taking the term 'f*ck your Couch' to a new level    ![[Image: DSC_0535.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/DSC_0535.jpg)  
This was taken whilst taking some advertising photos for the (then) new forum. (Chris having relations with a couch was not part of the propaganda scheme, it just happened). Below is one of the more 'sensible' photos we got (from left to right: Myself, Chris(Dum-Dum), Scott and Niall).
 ![[Image: DSC_0544.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/DSC_0544.jpg)  
For some reason, the police then turned up    and after a polite conversation we were on our way:
 ![[Image: DSC_0560.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/DSC_0560.jpg)  
Moving on, to April camping meet, Matt thought it would be good to let a bunch of idiots sand and paint his car in a campsite. It started with (relatively) good intentions:
 ![[Image: 81ca509b.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/81ca509b.jpg)  
But then soon got out of hand. Its fair to say, Matt did not want pink on his car, and nor did he appreciate our efforts at doing so    ![[Image: ff47fd95.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/ff47fd95.jpg)  ![[Image: f85b15a0.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/f85b15a0.jpg)  
Moving forwards, we had a mini-meet at mine where we changed Ginge's turbo and did a 'boot build'. Myself, Samass, Niall, Ginge, Adam (Fooby), and possibly more were in attendance (it got quite hazy due to the drink). The only photo from the weekend was of a large reproductive organ drawn on the build:
 ![[Image: 17665e44.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/17665e44.jpg)  
Oh tell a lie, there was a curry too....
 ![[Image: 98a992e1.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/98a992e1.jpg)  
Ed had written off his Diablo '6. It was laid up at Curts and dismantled. Below are some pics.
 ![[Image: 4c4a1be7.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/4c4a1be7.jpg)  ![[Image: 50739eea.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/50739eea.jpg)  ![[Image: b0c099e4.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/b0c099e4.jpg)

What was left of Samass' sump contents after it emptied itself coming back from Incarnation in Brighton    ![[Image: IMG_2319_zpsaba6bc16.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/IMG_2319_zpsaba6bc16.jpg)  
I'll leave it there, I have loads. I'll let others carry on before I bloat the thread out

ok grant, let me take you people back to 2007!
 
our very 1st meet was a team valley, as it was pretty central at the time, Small meet, only 3 cars from 3 different areas, darlington, sunderland and durham! 
But it was one big step for us! 
 ![[Image: meet2.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/meet2.jpg)  ![[Image: meet3.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/meet3.jpg) 
After that it was teeside park in darlington, 2007? 2008
 ![[Image: DSCF1251.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/DSCF1251.jpg)  
One of our biggest meets of all team we managed I think close to about 6 to 8 cars! this was at Dalton park, Now for some reason everyone liked this place for a meet, as we seemed to have a bigger turn out!  
f*cking cold that night and windy! 
 ![[Image: Picture073.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/Picture073.jpg)  ![[Image: Picture072.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/Picture072.jpg)  
Teeside park again, only two of us turned up for that one, 
  ![[Image: DSCF1172.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/DSCF1172.jpg)  
Then another good one at Dalton park, This time with one of the lads from south! I will try and find who it was again, as the lad left the 306 scene afterwards. 
 ![[Image: DSCF13842.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/DSCF13842.jpg)  
that will have to do lads, as photobuckets been a f*cking fanny!

		I still remember going through the McDonalds drive thru with Declantg & following a man with a full on parrot sat on his shoulder
 This meet was one of the first times I'd met Chris, I remember being introduced to grant & Niall at the Tesco hand car wash, weird how you remember things! Thought grant looked like Plan B ever since...

		ok looks like photobuckets sorted its self out again!  
well from the last photo you saw, was the last meet I think for nearly 2 years! 
 
until me, DDD and Andy with his dimma sorted out a quick meet, and some one else popped up too, he wasn't really a forum user, but popped up for the numbers, we did manage to get a triple moonstone!   
I think this was the last time we had a full house of 306s, we had 4. 
 ![[Image: 002-12.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/002-12.jpg)  ![[Image: 005-6.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/005-6.jpg)  
triple moonstone!! 
 ![[Image: 014-5.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/014-5.jpg)  
then our 3 smokey dervs and a metro meet! Laugh was every car there wasn't standard!  
this one was the 1st and very last meet the metro ever had sadly and it wasn't that long put on the road at the time, so we are looking at 2011! 
 ![[Image: 014-6.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/014-6.jpg)  ![[Image: 004-10.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/004-10.jpg)  
then this sadly this was the last ever meet we ever had, again at Dalton park, where the last 3 meets had been hosted, as the teeside folks I think had all sold up by then! 
 ![[Image: 012-8.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/012-8.jpg)  ![[Image: 015-6.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/015-6.jpg)  
I would like to hope that our new forum could pick up the ashes from where we left off in 2011!  
from all those photos you see, I am the only one that has stayed with the same 306!  
We had great time at them all, just a shame that the north east is quite vast tbh!  as lads, who become friends of mine, drove all the way to sunderland from ashington, and that's an hours drive away practically!

		the 106 you see at our last meet, was pushing 160 bhp from a 1.6 engine, and it had a stage 3 cam installed too, was very quick! so chances are that car maybe retired from the road now, and used as a track car.
