  1. which MY you after, coz the earlier ones are free online.... I cant remember the link tho.... also, I have one for A newage MY that I dont want.... And yeah I bought one on fleabay, and it was rubbish, says that it covered my MY, and didn't really.... the MY that it DID cover, was very good... but you just cant tell from the ads whats on them... []
  2. Well if its any help to you, I just bought My MY00 uk Turbo, 7k incl: trade in... and its in very good nick, although If I pressed on I prolly could have got it for less like.... but you live and learn.... oh and that was from Town and County in aberdeen, with a 1 year warranty... which was nice.... Dale....
  3. Well the events so far announced at RAF Lossiemouth, have had a small charge of somthing like £20-30 TOPS to cover the costs of insurance and ambulance cover etc... I belive the clubs organising the events also must have simelar cover to run these events.... To be fair I dont think that anyone wanting to take part in events like this would have any objections on coughing up a modest fee, to cover costs, and the rest to Santa Cruise.... [] Edit: oh and yeah It requires marshalls too.... they were asking for marshalls in the announcment e-mails too....
  4. Dale i'll have more time for meets,runs etc very shortly as nearly finished renovating my old house for sale, thats whats keeping me busy at the mo Oh, is that what your up to, I thought it was the new one that you were doing like... [Y] And Guys, hes Coming to scotland and the only beer you can think to recomend is TENNEANTS? You might as well tell him to get some carling doon his neck!!!! [+o(]
  5. Hmmmm, sure this is old news, i'm sure i heard about this months ago, but it takes that long to get through the system.... Hope they win tho, Ive really go no time for speed cameras, they are just revenue collectors...
  6. Thats my thought Dunc, although, like I said earlier, Lossie would be a little far out of the way for most People IMHO.... and Thus Leuchars, you'll prolly find thats your best bet.... Has there been any contact for this with any airfeild yet perchance, or are we still sounding out the idea....?
  7. So I take it that GTX magnatec is not that great then perhaps? thats what I was useing before on the shed, And I think the new car has been using that up untilll now.... dunno whats in it just now tho.... I admit its not something that Ive given much thought to like...
  8. You know guys I wouldn't rule out Leuchars, or any RAF base for that matter... for example... We have 2 events coming up now, one is a motorcycle handling day thingy, ie making up a track... and the other... is runway runs... again with the bike club.... and the RAF police will be there with their speed gun.... Going to see if I can get myself along to that.... Mebbe see if i can bring a few freinds.... [] think its like the 15th Oct perhaps....?
  9. Right enough I've never seen one but then I've been wrong about all sorts of things... [] But then Ive not really seen much in the way of unmarked cars up this way at all, with the exception of the 2 Omegas, the maroon one, and the dark blue one...
  10. If your looking to see a WR1 theres one in Inverness... thats if we can get him out that is... And on the Ale side if things, If its ale your looking at there is a great selection of scottish ones mate, Any of the Isle of Skye ales, or, the Champion Beer of the UK last year I think Was Deuchars IPA, I'm a big fan, and its pretty easy to get a hold of..... but there is LOADs to choose from... []
  11. I touch goats.... Ive never heard of The local Bill using any jags for unmarked cars... although that means nothgin to be honest, they wouldn't be unmarked otherwise...

  13. I see it didn't take long for my name to get brought into this like.... [] Well I'm (along with another couple on this forum) at Lossiemouth, witch I'm sure is a bit far north for most of you guys... If your looking at Leuchars, thats more central, and more likley to get the turnout, and the runways are huge IIRC... and Yeah I suppoes that It wouldn't be out ot the quesrtion to ask, After all its positive publicity for the station, and for us... although theres a good chance that we could be told to GTF! Im sure tho, that if we were to do something like that then We couls perhaps persuade the RAF Police to get a speed gun out.... Either way if your stuck for ideas or for that matter, Airfields.... then PM me... [y] Right enough, I would like to have some high speed runs to see what she can do, without the added pressure of doing the quarter.... Dale.
  14. Hey jacob, I see there has been a big response from the central lot, but nothing much from the rest of us further north... as Craig said You are welcome to meet us in Aberdeen, or failing that I'm sure that We could cobble together a Highland meet, assuning that your going to tbe somewhere near Inverness, thats where we normally meet, although the highland division, we are from all about here, as far east as elgin and further north than Inverness, Although I'm not sure where.... So yeah Make sure you say when your heading north, And I'm sure that we could provide you with routes further north from Edinburgh on some interesting roads... [y][] it can be VERY picturesqe the further north you go....
  15. Yep top night again boys, Nice meeting the newer members to the meets, the more the merrier... Donlk know about pics, think Dave was taking some? I know I never this time like....
  16. Right Guys Looks Like I'm just about to head down to Glasgae for the weekend... so I'm going to got to Peters Place for that meal.... Only thing is I have nae idea how to get there.... glasgae and all.... Directions anyone?
  17. Scoob - 135 - I had pax, they got nervous... Bike - 155 I chickened out after that bike was still pulling... but I was wearing Jeans at the time... [] Both on speedo, Bikes prollly more accurate... Never had the Snooper fitted to this car, and never had it whilst ive had the bike on the road... And I'm not saying where, coz you'll all want to go there.... []
  18. Well right enough I did call them like mate, and it was their operator that said that they wont do it... I did think it was odd myself like.... Ah well I have the security so either way I'm happy enough... [] Oh Craig, and I was going to call you on the way down But I dont have your number, You'll need to text me with it... and I was into aberdeen only just in time by the time that finished work.... [] And Ross, Will get round to taking some better pics mebbe at the weekend like, perhaps incorporate it into a good blast out... As it is the decent camera Is in Aberdeen just now.... []
  19. I have Just got rid if the Shed, It was a 1.8GL which is the classic version of the GX..... Very good cars, but not as capable as the turbo models, In fact I drove one of the new age ones quite a while ago and I thoght it was pretty gutless... the handling can be just as great as any scoob, but you notice the difference in straigh line speed and acceleration.... but what You want to look for In my experience is rust, once you get the first bit... I found that it was very bad on the roof, I'm on my second classic, and both have rusty roofs, At least this one is getting done under warranty... nip it in the bud early and you cant go wrong!!!! other than that there is not alot I think that you need to look out for, just stuff that you would look for on any other car, if you can justify it, Get a turbo, if not then you can do worse than to get a GL/GX, best value for money if your going along the non-turbo route, go for the classics, IMHO better value for money... [y]# Hope that helps... []
  20. What Just coz I can Drive my car.... [] And yeah If Steve cant make it for any reason, Then I should be there also you can have a lift with me also... But My car is standard...
  21. Cheers Guys... [] And Ac!d, That might explain why the shed went so well... []
  22. Yeah mate I really like the colour, not many other cars wearing it, that I think was part of the attraction.... [y][]
  23. Yeah, Gavin(salesman) Mentioned that he'd heard of the T&C threads on here when I was in yesterday... dont know if he was snifing for info or if he was just passing conversation.... [] But ive said it last night, And I'll say it here again, I have to say Thank you T&C Ive been speaking to Kev so I know whats been done to the car, which I'm VERY happy about, but the best thing: Tracker: £100 off!!! £199 down from £299 so that straight away is I think, proof that the negotiations have been doing their work!!! Craig, I have to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for doing your bit, also for the sound advice!! [y]
  24. Right... Imy: Ta! No name as yet, but I'm still getting to know her.... Dave: The shed had terrible rust along that area, so at least this one is getting done under warranty... I must say I dont think much to the thin paintwork like... Steve: She'll be there!! No bells tho... You'll not hear me coming.... [] Dunc: Ive always had a proper car.... [] And I dont think theres any plans as yet.... Russell: Ta! And I'm sure you'll see her up close soon enough... [] although not toooooo soon..... Dipsy: No I didn't know that... In fact I'm quite angered by that, not that it matters they were not the cheapest anyway... but I would have thought that if i was buying a product from them they should not preclued that particular product from insurance cover... Hmmm. noted for the next time... Ta! Dale.
