scouk Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 He'd better be there in a SUBARU! Forecast was for rain a few days ago but its looking like the weather is going to clear up a bit for the weekend and with temps of 15C rumoured Link to comment

Badgerboy Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Andy stop badgering me! and be careful or i might just have to go and dig out some favours to save my subaru pride! Couple of panels bolted on and a slap of paint, how hard can it be? Link to comment
badbaz Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Bugger the paint, just get the panels on! Link to comment
nkwrx Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Having never had to buy octane booster before can anyone recommend a brand to go for? For obvious reasons need to get it in the next couple of days. Cheers Kevan Link to comment
nkwrx Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 NF Kevan, get it from ebay Thanks Barry Link to comment
davey l wrx Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Octane booster ready to go, camera/road angel wiring tidied up and hidden this morning. Looked at fitting the Bennen tow hook to the rear but it looks like a pain in the ass - universal must mean theres a car somewhere in the universe it will slot onto. If it wasn't pishing down i might have got the Perrin Wing Stiffies on as well. Hopefully it'll be a bit dryer before we go otherwise they can wait. All it needs is a clean, tyre pressure check and some go juice and we're ready. Oh the wench needs to pack as well..... Cannon battery is cahrged and ready i just need to decide if i'm bringing the A.R Drone to get some aerial shots when we all park up now it shoots pics and film. Link to comment

davey l wrx Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) It's an option i'll try and get it out and check the picture quality out. The new Mk2 version has high def cameras on it and mines a Mk1 so the pic's could be a bit crap. Might just lob it in the car anyway. Needs to be fairly calm with little to no wind or it just goes mental but we'll see. New Cosworth filter fitted. Fluid checks in the next couple of days and we're set! Rear Benen tow hook fitted looks ok to me need to fasion some sort fo bracket for the front one apparently. Edited April 24, 2012 by davey l wrx Link to comment

ciaranrb5 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Enjoy folks I will have a car ready for next year. I try not to get to much of a tan in Portugal Link to comment
lewisscoob Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 My car isnt ready yet but is damn close... Mapping tomorrow if all goes well tonight Then to sort the wheeels, brakes and something else which is slipping my mind just now. Link to comment
scouk Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Just back from a 120mile round trip in the scoob.. probably the longest journey I had in it for months (maybe even over a year ago!).. All is well.. But I seem to have aquired a sore neck as a result .. This could be an interesting weekend Link to comment
davey l wrx Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I still haven't got the brakes fully worn in...... Might be a job for the trip to Inverness on friday. Having said that if the weather doesn't improve i'll be out buying some chain and an anchor! Still need to give it a wash and hoover and check the oil, coolant, etc. Apart from that all set. i think Edited April 25, 2012 by davey l wrx Link to comment
Badgerboy Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hope no-one is runnign semi-slicks! Oh deer dear Link to comment
scouk Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) You might not be too bad.. Fiar bit of wind in these parts at the moment and roads are drying fairly quickly. Edited April 25, 2012 by ScoUK Link to comment
davey l wrx Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Not here they aren't it's doing nothing but rain, rain and a bit of hail. Doesn't look that bad for the weekend though over the westcoast though. Link to comment
