Roadrunner

Im actually getting used to the effect the scoob has on every 1.1 saxo it passes, and really starting to enjoy it all! Like I was told I would!

Toyo, Pirrelli and heard good reports of the new Yoko's as well

Think Im gonna go for Toyo, bit obvious I know but I had some Yokos on last car and didnt like them much, but was prob just me! Thanks for offerings of advise!

1. Dont go for a reasonable tyre.

 

ok but which ones then?

hello mate and welcome to our humble club. if you have any questions to ask your best bet is to pretend your a lady and everyone will fall over themselves to help you especially warby , i posted a problem once and everyone ignored me:( and then claire aka roadrunner posted a few questions and the sidc site nearly melted down as everyone rushed to there keyboards to help :):):):)

enjoy the site and ill help you as much as i can , hopefully see you  at a meet soon

ste

yeah but now theyve got used to me, and have realised that all my questions border on the incompetent, they just ignore me!

1) best reasonably priced tyres? 215/35/18 are needed I think!

2) good place to get a cam belt change in North west? do I need both belts changed? (only just learnt there are 2!) Dealer has quoted £220 but will do some discount cos he said he doesnt see too many girl drivers and I asked nicely! Local performance garage has quoted £270 plus vat for both belts??? Could dealer price be for one belt only, have i understood right, theres the main one then a little one too?

3) can anyone recommend a good wheel refurb place in north west?

Thanks in advance for any help, i tried doing a search but this ends up with me being more confused than ever! So many opinions!

there is a company over in prescot who apparently will re-paint your wheels for £30 a corner

Oh and do you have there number please ?

If its your land, then make a clamping sign up, put it in a place you cannot miss seeing it and then clamp there car !!!

Then all you do is charge a really high release fee ( which will pay for your wheel to be fixed ) []

Oh and this is totally legal because its private property and there is no laws to govern wheel clampers as of yet.  []

Worked for a mate of mine [Y]

More info please, can you ask your mate how to go about it, cant find anything about how i clamp them and do it properly?

How funny, tonights was a little girly in a 1.4 fiesta, trying it on at all the lights round a lights controlled roundabout, Im getting the hang of it now, made loads of noise, (laughing that is), watched her pistons jump through the bonnet while she tried it on, bf in car, prob egging her on, then when she cut across my lane and really annoyed me gave it loads, and was doing illegal amounts of speed before i exited the slip road! (sorry officer was doing a nice sedate 70mph) was gonna make a rude gesture but they were a blip in my rear view so didnt bother taking hands of steering wheel! So not like me, personality is changing with the car!

As for being pulled by the police officers, Im yet to be pulled in scoob, but already have a history of being pulled and getting away with it, I like our local officers, very understanding blokes I find! Very nice chaps, one and all! But kids remember , speeding is not big and clever and just not funny!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remove said vehicles wheel nuts.....place in a jiffy bag, and nail to the bonnet of his car.

Guaranteed to have a desired effect. [Y]

pmsl - bent a few nails trying but managed it..................

And the problem with the wife will soon end as they normally leave you.

Christ - thats seems harsh!

But I would def advise the car above relationship, the car will always be loyal! Previous owner of my car sold it cos the wife wouldnt drive it and hated it, swapped the wrong thing in my opinion, but I benefited! So cynical for one so young!

anyway Im sure she will love it when she gets behind the wheel!

Due to some adorably cute and fluffy person parking right outside my garage, on my land, I had to do a 5 point turn to get the scoob in the garage and have managed to scuff my wheel badly, to metal , over approx, 2-3 square inches in total. Wheels have been repainted to match colour of car, so imagine this is not gonna be cheap.

Considering;

1) ringing police and having the car towed for trespass (but its sat they will be 2 busy)

2) taking equal amount of damage out on the offending trespassing car

3) cant think of any other option, other than making there lives hell, cos not feeling sweet and kind right now!

Have contented my self with nasty letter left on car for now as the owner isnt answering door, currently cant think of any real reason to calm down, guess it will all be better in the morning!

I've spelt it wrong that's why! Try this one ajj1310@yahoo.co.uk [Y]

 

too funny, and there was me worrying cos , I thought it was me! send later, works com wont let me send pics!

E mail keeps bouncing back?

Thats better! I could only find a post for a trip in may, hence my confusion!

Does anyone know exactly how many police forces have scoobs then? and Ive heard tell of a rapid response paramedic using a scoob?

I did, and was still confused, hence asking!

Come on the Dales Tour and you could see a real one![]

am i being daft? whats the dales tour?

Just watching Judge John deed, 2 characters chatting in police station car park, standing next to? you got it, a scoob in full police colours!

How about sourcing the wiring on the back and finding where it goes too?!

oh dear far too technical for little old me!

It doesn't sound like that at all Clare!

 

Looking forward to meeting you - another girl with excellent taste in motors [Y] 

But all I seem to do is moan that other drivers are getting at me or the car! LOL! I have the luuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee! Just spent three days in Dublin sans motor, missed it so much I was breaking for the pilot on the return journey! and actually checked that the car was in the garage still when got home! just to give it a little kiss like......................
