mctwistuk Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Due to a few different reasons i have had to sell the scoob. This is a temporary thing but will hopefully be back in the drivers seat of one in the not too distant future.

sti pretender Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Sorry to hear. Was looking forward to see in the car once it was at full speed.
thewelsho Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Due to a few different reasons i have had to sell the scoob. This is a temporary thing but will hopefully be back in the drivers seat of one in the not too distant future. Wow! That came out of the blue! Hope all is well, get back soon. All the best. John
mctwistuk Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Due to new house and well the car was poorly i have taken a time out from scoobs for the moment but don't worry i will be back and the next time it will be better than ever. I can't say thanks enough to all the members on here for their help with the car and also for the friendship. I started out thinking about keeping it standard but after the RB relay that soon put paid to that idea. I have got know know lots of great people on here and hope to still keep in touch. There are a few members that i want to say a special thanks to: drb5 - My engineer for the most part and a good source of knowledge. I would recommned his mechanic services to anyone. TheWelsho - Those pax laps at Knockhill i will never forget. Going sideways towards a crash barrier was interesting. St3ph3n- it was good to get some mod help from you as the latter stages i think we were both thinking about modding the cars pretty similar. fai17 - known as delboy to me. This man is what the SIDC is all about. Peter is always at the end of a phone to help out or to put you in touch with someone that can help. His contact network is amazing. If your wanting parts or work done on the scoob he is the man to see. I owe you a lot mate for the help. Although i am temporarily scoobless i hope to still keep in touch. That chicken sizzler and the ppp is something i cannot do without for too long. STIBandit - Don't suppose you know any good hoda websites do you???????? You always seemed to have a webiste for any question i had. I hope to still keep the membership up until i get a scoob again. Is this possible????
frank c Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Sorry to hear dood.. Hope you get it sorted soon. Frank

st3ph3n Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 No problems Chris. Don't be a stranger at Knockhill etc. either. You're always welcome to some passenger laps.

You will be on speed dial dude. As for the car. I am sure i will be able to keep up with some of you but am gonna miss the nose of the scoob. I don't think the honda would do the snakehead justice. But who knows!!![H]
micra_wrc Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 sorry to hear you've sold the car [] hope to see you behind the wheel of one soon
mctwistuk Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks Imy, The new car is not as fast but still can hold its own. Hopefully wont be too long until i get behind the wheel of an sti.
thewelsho Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 TheWelsho - Those pax laps at Knockhill i will never forget. Going sideways towards a crash barrier was interesting. More than welcome mate, you can be my Wingman anytime... Get back soon. J
RS Grant Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 A lot of us have moved away and come back.... we'll all still be here when you return!! [] What Honda have you gone for?? Cheers, Grant
Dougie C Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Sorry to hear that youve had to sell the scoob Chris but hope to see you at Knockhill or meets with or without your scooby. Dougie C
mctwistuk Posted February 12, 2007 Author Posted February 12, 2007 i opted for something a little more sensible and more economical on fuel. I am now the owner of a civic type r. Insurance is chaeapper, better on fuel so will help me save for a wee while. I will always be on the lookout for the SIDC sticker on the back of scoobs so if you see someone in a red type r civic giving you the wave then it will be me.
STi_Bandit Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 And civic type r aint much slower than a standard sti in a straight line, damm i need to get down the gym and lose some weight [] Bandit
fai17 Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 And civic type r aint much slower than a standard sti in a straight line, damm i need to get down the gym and lose some weight [] Bandit Or get more power like me[]
STi_Bandit Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 All will become clear, to one willing to wait my young jedi
scoobaroo Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Hope your not away for long Chris, hope to see you at a meet real soon m8 [] Marty.
RS Grant Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I like the CTR, its very very capable on the twisties... Remember being on a run with Type-R Scotland in my Blue Impreza Wagon and being very impressed by the pace!! [H] Cheers, Grant
drb5 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 drb5 - My engineer for the most part and a good source of knowledge. I would recommned his mechanic services to anyone. Lol no worries mate. Try not to think about losing the car too much, as at the end of the day it really IS only a car and there are a lot more serious things out there to consider, than a car with a noise. [H]
mctwistuk Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 was talking to a guy in work today and he has already been trying to fill my head with vtec controllers, induction kits etc. He used to get a lot of work done at greers. now just planning my comeback (STI styleeeeeeeeeeeee)
