nanaki

loved it.... brilliant fun. so did you make it to paisley mostly intact then?

i'd say 14 looking at the times above. nice time.

nice looking machine... welcome to the forums.

Looks like the previous owner did quite a lot to it already but trust me you'll find more things to spend money on soon enough.

Enjoy it.

For a charity item thats far to high a price to start it. It still has no bids.

Not going to get average joe bidding on it.

i tend to just wave or nod to acknowledge them. not picky about the kind of scoobie.

think ive managed 28mpg once, got about 260-270 miles before filling up. mostly get about 220 miles then have to fill the tank.costs more but more fun.

Got mine in bout 30 mins ago, fitted it in 10 mins and went a jont round the back roads (seems to be a common theme here) and yeah i liked it.

wasnt sliding about as much, wasnt coming off the seat at hills, feet were always over the pedals and it alowed you to concentrate more on the car.

would definatly recommend it.

this season we will be presenting fifth gear from a real working cafe....

ok after that section in episode one who thought this is gonna suck? everyone exactly.

I never even watched the second one.

ok so I just ordered mine. will let you all know what I think when i get it.

the engine bay is a work of art... hmmmm carbon fiber...

God damn it man chage the thread name....

You had me thnking of metal wraped round trees there and other nasty things.

So its not a loud beast anymore but.... is it quicker? []

Yeah it was a good night. The run was fun, nice roads those... pity about the other traffic.

Food was great and as always squirrels banter had us all wondering if we should phone the people with the funny white jackets...[]

Anyways it was great to see some of you again, and some of you for the first time (mainly our two new american friends)

Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your holidays and keep in touch.

P.s Getting back to Kilmarnock when they close the Kingston Bridge is not fun!!!!!  [O]

please also remember, that as an american what he knows of as beer is in fact a lager and a real beer would probably shock his system.

Might be tempted to go out tomorrow. Not sure.

Had a red new age, think it was a bug eye, behind me on the way home from work. male driver with a female pasanger I think.

I was the debadged silver classic in front of you.

Ok so I had the car washed this afternoon and by the time I got home due to the lovely road works near my house I now have a load of muck up the doors.

Question is where should I get them and how much am I looking at paying? Ebay looks so much cheeper than elsewhere but does anyone know anything about them?

Could the rear spolier on that be any uglier... now the rest of the car does look like what it is supposed to. A very nice hatchback (which when completly debadged will make one hell of a sleeper)  but the wing on that is ruining the whole thing.

He'll be back. No way he would let this get the better of him. Get well soon mate.

yeah its about that down here as well. problem I have though is the kilmarnock shell hasn't had v power in weeks now. I'm having to make a 42 mile round trip to paisley for fuel.

when I was really young it was a car mechanic for me.... No.

Then went to high scholl and got into art so I thought maybe an architecht.... No.

Then I saw the high school music studio and fell in love with all the equipment. Passed higher music with the only A in the class that year.

Went to uni in Paisley for 3 years and studied music technology hoping to either work in live sound at gigs or in a recording studio.

So what did I do i graduarted... BSc with distinction and wait for it....... got a job in a call centre baby yeah!!!!

However during those 3 years i got into computers, built some pc's and started running lan parties in Ayr. They became my passion. I would always try and get everything out of every PC I worked on. Can build em, repair em and overclock them now like it was second nature.

16 months after graduating and I'm still in the call centre. Only lasted 3 weeks on the phone though. I now work in IT running dialler systems and desktop support. Also developing my knowledge of networks and databases. Would like to be a network admin some day and from there maybe own my own company doing netowork installations and computer repairs / builds.

Sad but hey i love computers.

I might not have been so far wrong though as a young boy about the mechanic bit. I'm now reading everything i can find on how my subaru works.

Only engine mod I have is a dump valve and i got it to 152ish on the speedo. 146 on the S.E.C.S unit. GPS showed 146 as well.

Not in a hurry to do that again till i get some improvments done to the car.

I warm you.. the phrase have a nice day can reallly get to you after the first couple of days.

However have a great time. Just remember there speed limits are a bit more limiting that ours (although the automatics make driving a breeze / bore)

Do you commute via a car ? Yes

Do you take your Scooby ? Only car I have so yeah.

How many miles do you commute to work ? 24 miles round trip.

How long does it take you ? Bout 15 mins.... sometimes less. My shifts mean traffic is never really a problem.

Do you ever take a long way home ? Via some mates occasionally...
