Dougie C Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Hi all After a few months of reading the SIDC forums, I've finally took the time to sign up even though I dont have a Subaru (sighs) but my brother Derek is lucky enough to have an RB5. Been to the SIDC stand when it was the Motorfair and met Spooks and Rosie and other members please forgive me with names. Also was lucky to be part of the Relay from Stirling to Aviemore, which was absolutely fabulous seeing so many great Subaru's and meeting some of you. Managed to get some video footage while Derek was driving but havent yet seen my handy work haha. Had a great day at Fast & Modified Show, great to see Spooks and Rosie at SIDC stand again Unfortunately I was exhausted pushing myself around in my wheelchair in the heat (phew) also the usual crowds standing in front of me while trying to watch the stunt shows. Hopefully 1 day I will win the lottery and get myself a Subaru always loved them but think I will only have to stick to my Subaru die cast models lol. Spooks was great to see you and Rosie, very impressed how you got all the subaru's together. Anyway hope to meet you all soon. From Dougie C From Penicuik
ROSSI RB5 115 Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 cool man obviously by my name i have an RB5 also, i just got it last week and love it to bits

scoobaroo Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Welcom m8 , hope u enjoy yourself and join in on some of the upcumin meetz [au]
Dougie C Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks Guys ROSSI - I am sure you'll love the RB5, remember when Derek took me out for the 1st time in his RB5. I just about had to change my boxers when I got back. Felt myself getting stuck in the bucket seats. Gus - Not sure if you were at the stand or not mate, when I came over I was chatting with Spooks and Rosie. You probably saw me at same point running around in my titanium wheelchair trying to run everyone that was trying to get in my way as they do especially at big events. Martin - I've noticed your posts before and your photos of your car been trying to figure out from the photos where about you were in Penicuik haha. I'm near Peni High School. I've seen a few lovely Subaru's going around Penicuik plus a few come into my street visiting friends or relatives. Spooks - Yes I know mate it's about time I joined the forum Rosie give him a slap for me but make it gentle haha. Col 666 - Thanks for the welcome seen your photograph's on here and on your website. If you have MSN Messenger add me: dougie_121 AT hotmail.com Cheers Dougie - Penicuik
Dougie C Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks for the welcome and yes I am sure I will take part in some of the events in the future with my brother and his subaru. May even see me in Vauxhall Astra lol Dougie
ROSSI RB5 115 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Yeah bud all scoobs are ace, does your brothers have the prodrive performance pack?? if not he needs to get it.
dougster Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Welcome from this Dougie C from Glasgow!!!!!!!! []
Double Zero Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Welcome mate i was on the Stirling to Aviemore run with my bro inlaw & got my scooby soon afterwards,it was a great day out & all for a good cause i hope you get one soon as they are great fun. Stevie
craigwrx Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Welcome mate, i hope that someday u manage to get ur scooby ....like Gus, i must have missed u too, maybe next time []
thewelsho Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Hopefully 1 day I will win the lottery and get myself a Subaru always loved them but think I will only have to stick to my Subaru die cast models lol. I never thought I'd have owed a Scoob either Dougie, still can't belive I do. You never know what is around the corner, so maybe one day you will. Welcome to the club too. If I see you around at any of the meets, be sure to ask me and you can have a test drive of mine. [] All the best! John
Dougie C Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks all for the great welcome even (must be the heat getting to my spelling!) and hope to catch up with you all at the next meet. FAO ROSSI not sure if Derek has got the Performance Pack on his RB5 or not but will find out. Dougie
chris_c201 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Welcome mate, at least you are getting a little dose of Subaru to keep you going until you get one yourself, hope its not too long!!
Dougie C Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks Welsho, I may take you up on that offer of even a passenger ride! I'll just have to fit a subaru engine to my wheelchair hahaha. Dougie
Dougie C Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 Yes Chris, always loved Subaru's I have ownership of 3 diecast Subaru Impreza's on my shelf thats the closest I am gonna get to it I think, not sure if I would be able to afford the insurance at 27 plus would have to get an automatic so I could put in the hand controls. Will just have to do with the Vauxhall Astra at the moment lol. Cheers Dougie
ROSSI RB5 115 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Dougie, i am 27 years old and thought the same about insurance, when i seen my RB5 in the garage i knew straight away that was my car. I phoned my insurance comp and to me delight the quoted me 6oo bucks fully comp and i am driving with 6 points but i do have full no-claims. If ur brother does not have the P.P.P i know a guy in perth that may be able to fit it for him reasonably cheap
sharon_mccall Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Welcome Dougie C. [{] The people on this forum are great. Good to see you've met 2 of the best so far - Spooks and Rosie. I have an Impreza Sport..... but will someday have the P1 i dream about. [Y] I 've driven an RB5 and was well impressed. Definitely my second choice after the P1. Anyhoo, hope to see you at a Lothians meet sometime. Sharon []
Dougie C Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks ROSSI for the info on insurance and I will pass the info on to my brother. Thanks Sharon and also for the hug hehe and Ormiboy, I'm sure I will get to meet up with you all at a Lothian's meet or other meet soon, until I get my own Subaru I will just have to wait and see if I win the lottery!!! Nice to meet a great bunch Thanks for the warm welcome Dougie dougie_121 AT hotmail.com
