scooby princess Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) As many of you will know, the last swindon meet saw one of our lads from tidworth go of on a 6 month service and i told him to make me a promise he would come home safely and keep in contact - well he has so far kept to his later part of the bargain and so i thought it would be nice if anyone who knows him could just write a little note here for him and any other serving scooby lads to keep them informed of what we are all doing. Here is the note i recieved from him:- Hi SP All's well ou here lots of fun blowning **** up. Weather is hot like 30c at the moment but getting hotter. So what graphics is Ed going for know? And a dump Valve??? oh god lol Anyway shall leave it there as can't say much. Take care say hi to the crew at the next me from me. Dave AKA Pain in the a*** Let me start it off - Hi Dave, lovely to hear from you. Ed does finally have his dump valve and his sti lights are now fitted also - he's a bit sad at present as graphics have not arrived and as the weather is nice here at mo we wnted to put them on over the weekend as then they would have 2 weeks to settle before a clean for the next local meet. What are they? Well you will see when the pictures go up mate! New down pipe also ordered and the plastic wind deflectors that were cracked are now off the car! Yep Ed has actually got his hands dirty and did this himself with his son Ian. Anyway nothing else to report so take care and so Hi to all the scooby loving Squaddies over there! Jacqui, Ed and Liz (s.i.d.c. mum!) Edited March 20, 2009 by SCOOBY PRINCESS
pezza_no1 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Top notch, good to see the crazy fool is still thinking about us lol
Terry Butcher Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Keep safe fella, we are all thinking of all of you back here in the UK hoping that you all come back safe and well.
scooby-22 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Look at these nice messages dave, obviously they dont know you Hows life then dude? You are missing nothing back here the camp is still a building site. What mods are you planning for when your back, you going big? Hopefully i will have the beast up and running.... to it full potential You got your 'R n R' dates yet? Peace out dave old boy From the guy who has a faster and better looking scooby than you
Guest sti3_lewak Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 hello all well since this place is still in the Stone age and the internet is so slow i have final managed to get on the site. SP, You have out done yourself again. Thank you very much for this i'm sure there will be other lads that will find this link soon and shall pass it around if i see any of them. Marc, not to sure about faster but i'm defo better looking than you Managed to sort my RnR dates out today so that made me a lot happier. Got a few things planned for the old girl but only when i have finished my tour shall she get the treatment.... New spray job, Big Brakes, Front Mount, CO2 Spray for the intercooler, upgraded turbo and ECU full remap (thats an obvious one) and that should do it. Pezza: Have you managed to sell your Subaru/Ford/Vauxhall yet and get this yellow type R you've been after so long? Well SP i have kept one side of the bargin at the moment though know for th aslight bad news. Had an IED hit on us the other day which has blown the door off (this is an Armoured 4ich's Thick Steel Car with 9inch's thick windows) and i know have shrapnel in my back not bad for 2weeks out here The weather is like england too. Lots of sun shine then bang, Snow and lots of it.. Though it only lasted for a day we still managed to have a huge snow ball fight with the Cheating Germans, Smelly Italians, and The froggy French, and who won!!!!! The germans did of course. Anyway i shall post up here as often as when the internet does work. Hope all is good back in the south, and if all works out i may see you for the end of May Meet. Take it cheese and thanks again Dave AKA Pain in the A***
scooby-22 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Bloody hell dave, not having much look, glad your ok though, anyway nice stuff out of the way lets talk cars, what colour? I know your a fan of pink! how many horses you wanting??
Guest sti3_lewak Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Pink!!!!!!! Black lad same colour but just a respray.... Not to sure on HP but round 400bhp would be nice (at the Flywheel) anything over would be great but then i need to start strengthing that engine and gearbox after that too... Might just stick to getting some Brembo's for her rather than the Ksports 8pots as everytime i ring them there out of stock and then i run out of mins on my phone card. How's the beast doing? not broken down yet?
scooby-22 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Not doing too bad just fitted coil overs, whiteline anti role bars and alloy drop links, mot at end of month then im stripping the turbo and starting to sort out my boost issues, hopefully for when your back on R n R, before you start playing with the bigger boys in the 400 club
pezza_no1 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Dave me old mucker, see if you lot didn't drive so slow you would of been pass that IED and long gone Lol The yellow-R is still up there on my list to get, but *shock* I'm being a bit sensible and not just rushing into anything, like I did with this scooby and end up with a motor that's fooked and costs me shed loads to get sorted! However by the time you next see the motor hopefully a few things have changed slightly Oh and we don't believe your gonna respray the same colour for one minute, the lure of pink will be just too much for you pmsl
scooby princess Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 SP, You have out done yourself again. Thank you very much for this i'm sure there will be other lads that will find this link soon and shall pass it around if i see any of them.Not at all mate - Its always nice to go that little bit extra - You guys and gals are defending us - this is nothing in comparison Well SP i have kept one side of the bargin at the moment though know for th aslight bad news. Had an IED hit on us the other day which has blown the door off (this is an Armoured 4ich's Thick Steel Car with 9inch's thick windows) and i know have shrapnel in my back not bad for 2weeks out here DAVE! Go careful and take care of yourself - are your collegues ok? Well Dave our car has really changed - gone are one set of graphics and new ones are on - dump valve and sti lights also on as well
Guest sti3_lewak Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 SP glad to hear that the graphics are done. but all ed did was take you to bingo, should have taken you for a nice slap up meal at least. All is well Lads and lass's, my colleages are fine, the vehicle is repaired know thanks to the reme lads (marc i know you have a grin on ya face) The weather is nice, not to hot and not to cold work is very busy due to the fact we only have two of us work as CP drivers, (close protection) but that makes the time go by quicker. Hope all is well, Pezza hope ya mate enjoys his new Scooby,,, ask him to post some pics up when he has it. would be nice to see some. Take care all Dave
pezza_no1 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Good to hear all's going well. Yup will get Guy to send me some pics, or I'll take um myself, as soon as he gets the car
twofourdonkey Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 REME The best of the best. Sorry Dave, That IED was me. I can't have you beating me when you get back can I!!! There are plans ahead for the missile when I get back from the 'Stan. I just hope the pistons can take it!
edmondo Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Dave - no mate I am with the majority on the Pink Business Rob - what have you got planned mate
twofourdonkey Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Rob - what have you got planned mate It's a secret. But needless to say, I will have some more bits to sell.
