New White Sti Saloon @ Ian Grieve Subaru Falkirk - Pics
labman replied to wrxmania's topic in Scottish Scoobies
I like it. I saw the saloon, or Sedan as they refer to it, in the states about 3 years ago when they first went from the hawkeye to the hatch and liked it then. Have always thought a Saloon STi would come along eventually. If I had £30+k to spend on a car then I would probably consider it, but I don't. And if I did then I would probably be looking for used new shape Jag XK's now that is a pretty looking car -
Getting Bedfordshire Scoobies Back On Track.
labman replied to little vodka goblin's topic in South East England
All this talk of tunnels...... I like the Baldock By-pass tunnel, but if its real tunnels you want then get yourselfs signed up for the EuroBlasts run by trackmasters. Next one will be sometime summer 2011. www.track-masters.co.uk Try red-lining your respective rides in third to forth in a 1.7km long tunnel through Switzerland.... Bliss. -
Getting Bedfordshire Scoobies Back On Track.
labman replied to little vodka goblin's topic in South East England
Rach, How about organising somekind of trip to a theme park one weekend. Once the kids go back to school they should be fairly quiet. There are loads around that we could easily get to in a day, Alton Towers, Chesington, etc.... Hope we get something organised soon, I've not seen you guys since last Christmas Phil -
Bedfordshire Scoobies Run To The Sun
labman replied to little vodka goblin's topic in South East England
I had a funny feeling that might be the case. How about the week after, 27th? I can do that date. -
Ely would be a good bet to set up home. It has plenty of travel links by train to London and the north. Loads of shops, good schools (Apparently, I don't have kids so no first hand knowledge) and is a lovely nice safe place to live. You're also not far from the M11 which will get you to Stanstead airport quickly enough. Or at about the same distance but to the East is Thetford, but I've known a few people who lived there and they weren't that impressed. P.S. Start saving your pennies, petrol prices might come as a bit of a shock. Currently £1.20 a litre for 95RON or £1.27 for V-Power (99RON). I'll let you do the conversion to American gallons and dollars.

Yeah, sorry. Just couldn't spare the time that weekend. And nothing to do with getting up at 7am on a Sunday morning,... honest Just so you know, next Month, can't do Sat 29th.

Rach, What are you doing to me? I'm on a Stag weekend the 24th. Sorry I missed you guys last month. Looks like it was a roaring success from all the posts and pics. Phil

I did thanks. I might pop down and see you guys. Not sure I should be putting mine on the rollers though, a slight case of steam coming from under the front driverside bonnet is concerning me right now. Typically as soon as I spot it it stops. Going to see if the better half wants to go to the air show in Abingdon though, looks a good day out.

Damn it, I'm in France. Rach why, do you keep making it dates when I'm away? Or am I missing something Have a good one anyway, fingers crossed for March.

sounds obvious but... comparethemeerkat moneysupermarket confused gocompare Directline Aviva get all the quotes, then phone the best ones direct and haggle them down. don't just accept the first offer. I'm with Direct Line and got a renewal of £535 down to £480 with one simple phone call. Give Martin Lewis a read as well. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance...p-car-insurance Good luck

Sorry you couldn't make it, we waited till about 6pm then assumed you couldn't make it. Hope your car probs not serious and you can get it fixed quick, and cheap. Meet was good, only 5 of us in the end but enjoyed it all the same. Talk of doing a Bedford one in Bedford next month. See if we can attract a few more from Cambs. Hopefully see you next time.

I very much doubt I'll be able to make a tuesday meet. I'm pretty sure I'll be working. Either London or Yarmouth, not sure where yet. Still up for going to Dunnie meet though, looks like it just you and me Kim.
-
Tuesday nights are often difficult for me, probably why never make it. Must try harder I'll be there for the Dunstable convoy, sounds like fun.
