Title: Motorfurs meet at EF16!
Post by: Jasperfoxx on 17.08.2010, 22:32:21
Greetings all :)

Just to inform you that this year, we shall be having another motorfurs meet at EF!

It is planned for the Saturday between 1:30pm and 3pm (1300 to 1530 for those who don't follow 12 hour times easily ;) ), the location has been chosen by NightFox himself and will be confirmed in the conbook with a map to the location :)

Anyone is welcome wether you're a petrol head or not! All types of vehicles are welcome so wether you've brought a car, motorbike, hot air balloon, pulse jet engined bicycle or anything wacky with an engine, then bring it along :P

We will hopefully be putting some flyers out at EF so watch this space.

I will of course be there as will most of the 'Furball Run' lot aswell so come and get ya fill of shiny metal and noisy engines!

Just to put a note that we do not wish for a repeat of last year with people racing around the car parks, that got us a few complaints from what I heard so to avoid that would be best!

Fursuiters most definetely welcomed, seemed to get some good photo's last year from what I remember ^.^

I look forwoof to seeing you there! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me :)

Hallo an Alle :)

Wir werden auch dieses Jahr ein Treffen der Motorfurs auf der EF haben!

Das Treffen ist für den Samstag zwischen 13:30 Uhr und 15 Uhr geplant. Der Treffpunkt wurde von NightFox ausgewählt und wird im Conbook bestätigt. Dort wird auch eine Karte zum Treffpunkt abgebildet sein. :)

Jeder ist willkommen, ob Sprittfanatiker oder nicht! Alle Fahrzeuge sind willkommen, ob nun mit einem gerade neu gekauften Auto, Motorrad, Heißluftballon, düsenjetbetriebenes Fahrrad oder was auch immer, hauptsache es hat einen Motor :P

Wir werden eventuell auch einige Flyer auf der Con auslegen, also achtet darauf.

Klar komme ich wie die meisten vom Furball Run. Also komm und lass dir ordentlich von unseren Schlitten einheizen!

Allerdings ist eine Sache sehr wichtig. Wir wollen vermeiden, dass es solche Aktionen wie im letzen Jahr gibt, dass die Leute auf dem Platz mit ihren Autos rumheizen. Wir haben dadurch einige Probleme bekommen und würden dies zukünftig gern vermeiden!

Fursuiter sind natürlich sehr willkommen! Soweit ich es gesehen habe, gab es letztes Jahr sehr schöne Fotos davon ^.^

Ich freue mich, euch alle wiederzusehen! Wenn ihr Fragen habt, fragt :)

Now the question for me....is do I polish my car up all nice and shinee and spick and span for it....

Or go drive through some trenches and get it absolutely plastered in mud...?

Erf....descisions descisions....

Nightfox and Meyou, we will go with dirty. Thus, we will have to gun through some muddy tracks prior to the motor meet on the day. And yes, more 4x4s are handy and awesome.
Title: Re: Motorfurs meet at EF16!
Post by: Meyou on 18.08.2010, 01:33:33
That brings up some interesting questions...

What are the german laws concerning 4x4's and forests/mud/getting stuck?
Title: Re: Motorfurs meet at EF16!
Post by: Nightfox on 18.08.2010, 08:39:32
@ Meyou

Unfortunately its illegal, or you find a farmer who allows you to drive on his land.
Otherwise you have to be fast.
We have official off road track but not near by Magdeburg.

What kind of 4x4 are you bringing anyway?

Suzuki Grand Vitara. As Jasper calls it, The Kitty's Barbiemobile.

Due to the extortionate price of Insurance, its (For the most part) unmodified. But thats never stopped me before ^^

@Meyou: That car... The whole "fifty euros NOW!" thing that happened last year, was that you?

I have a photo of a red Suzuki with FurBall stickers and lots of random stuff written in white... "Always relevant" "Drayygon was 'ere" "If you can read this... sorry" and so on.




Edit: I'm obviously dumb. I checked my photo and the license plate is the same.

@ Meyou

Yay, my first car was a Vitara (the old one and with only two doors)
I was impressed how good it was doing off road, and it was very reliable.

Will be great to have other 4x4s at the meeting :)

@ Xar....yeah, that was me *Fidgets* I had hoped to have lived that down by this year, eh hehehehe....A few people have shown me pictures, but I'm always interested to see more. Is it online anywhere?

@ Nightfox Yeah man, they're terrific little blighters. I bought mine because I was sick of getting stuck in fields whenever I went to certain paintball sites on rainy days. And I kinda got sucked into off-road fun! Now I cant imagine myself in anything other than a 4x4. I feel....low....every time I get in anything else >_<

I think there's another Jeep 4-door coming with the Furballers, not sure if he'll be hitting the motorfur meet or not. Hope so...we can have a little tarmac-free area for the real motors! ^^;;

Saturday between 1:30pm and 3pm (1300 to 1530 for those who don't follow 12 hour times easily ;) )

Just to point out a little typo. 1:30PM to 3PM is 1330 to 1500. :P

@  Meyou

Yap, there is no way back once you owned a 4x4  ;D

And i saw the Jeep at CF but i have no clue who the owner is  ???

I'm really looking forward to the meeting, i will take the chance to take my dasboard apart and install a new radio.

Shove a CB in there Nightfox!!! -jumps about-
Title: Re: Motorfurs meet at EF16!
Post by: Nightfox on 22.08.2010, 14:33:50
@ drayygon

I had one in my first car........
But to be honest in Germany there are only complete idiots left who use CB, no fun at all anymore.

If i drive in a convoy i use the pmr radios.

Post by: drayygon on 22.08.2010, 20:53:43
When I'm driving, and when i got my Hilux I'm gonna install a CB...mainly cause I want the tech on-board and a nice whip aerial hehe.
