Congratulations to all taking part today – makes me very proud to be part of the SIDC. I know it will mean the world to the wee fella! You all deserve a huge pat on the back and can’t wait to see the pics Derek

All the best to the 2 of you on your travels. Hope you settle quickly and get into some sort of routine. Keep in touch. Derek

Unfortunately, also need a car they can go on – plates to new for RB5.

Decided to buy a new number plate, hopefully as a bit of an investment – but would prefer in on a fully stickered up Impreza. What do you think? RC08ULL Just need to insert the screw in the right place and get the wings. Derek

Very sad news indeed! This piece of machinery was way more than just a car – automotive pornography/work of art - think everyone who saw it, fell in love with it (remember DougieC’s face when he first saw it in the flesh, certainly filled the memory card of his camera that day) and would offer various vital organs as part exchange. Hope everyone that was involved in the build of the car are well proud of what they produced and I feel for all of you! Main thing is Callum and Ian, you both walked away! The Fatboy will never be forgotten – way too many pics for that! Feel for you guys, but chins up. Derek

If you are using Angle Park Garage – make sure you get the SIDC 15% discount from Colin!!

Welcome Drew. Get some pics up of the motor! Derek

WOW!! What a difference – hope it stays that way, but doubt it at this time of year. Imy, i’m sure you must have been well pleased with this. Massive Derek

Huge thanks for the kind words and pics (and if you have any more, please post up or email to me derek@jumpmarketing.co.uk it would be much appreciated, you never seem to take enough and it was always Dougie with the camera) from all the family. Been a bit of a nothing year really for all of us, just trying to get back to some sort of routine. My brother and me ended up buying my mum a stunning toy poodle for her Christmas to try and fill part of the void in her life – after nearly 30 years being a 24 7 carer. Pepé is keeping her very busy, but she loves him. My car seams very empty without the big fella beside me but will try and attend as much SIDC events this year as possible. Hope you all had a good Festive period and all the best for 2010. Derek

Had a fantastic day, first time at Crail and it was a cracker. Good run up with BobbyC and Ross, thanks for the company and the directions, don’t think I would have got there without you. Huge thanks to Chris for organising such a great event – and hope you get WL sorted, felt for you big style. Big pat on the back for Matt, coming up from Wales – that’s mates for you! Great to catch up with so many old and new faces and look forward to the next time. Did miss my trusty old co-pilot on the day – RIP big fella. Derek

Neil, Been good to have you involved in so much. Always enjoyed your company and your pics have always been fantastic – even the insect ones. I think a lot of people have learnt and got into photography (SICC) through help from yourself. Also have fantastic memories of the Glenshee run – had to help Dougie from the footwell a couple of times, heavy breaking and no feeling in your legs, you just keep going forward. Hope the Volvo is a good compromise, certainly looks the part! And all the best to the family in the future. See you at a track day soon. Derek and Family

Mark, Surely the reason you left the keys was incase the alarm went off during the night and not cause a disturbance. Derek

Mark, Felt quick sick after reading this – you put so mush time effort and money creating it. Can’t begin to imagine how you are feeling – your car, your mate, head must be like mince at the moment. Hope you get things sorted and keep your chin up. Derek

Could be a bit biased here, but i’d go for the RB5 – best colour ever on a classic and would love to have seen the RB320 in this. Derek

Thought some of you may be interested in this. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/news/default.asp?storyId=20548 Special Charity event and the perfect place to test some of the Fantastic builds that have been created here. Derek

Congratulations to you both! Fantastic fleet of wedding cars. Derek

Gambler, Great write up on what sounds an amazing day/experience! Knowing my luck,mine would be more Kellogg’s than Carlsberg – all happened the same, then wake up and have my corn flakes. You’re a very lucky man with some very generous mates. Derek

Other place to try for tyres is Hays in Penicuik. 01968 672947 128 John Street, Penicuik, EH26 8NG Ask for Colin, mention SIDC and he will give you the best price he can. Derek

Geo, Car looking stunning – also like the look of the Clio and very distinctive colour choice!! See the Pistonhead boys have just had one delivered as a fleet car. Trying in vain to get hold of the Total Impreza Mag – heard a lot about it from various people and it looks like your new venture is certainly taken off. Might have to get you to scan then and post them up. Derek

Chris, Car looking fantastic! Hope to see it soon, always very tempted to pop in to SW and have a sneak peak. Good luck today and you get the figures you want – must be like getting a new car everytime you come back. Derek

Congratulations Keira, Keep up the good work, you’re a credit to us all and hope you are very proud. Derek

Try here for tyre prices – not too far from the doorstep to. http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=133487 Derek

Car looks well smart! Is that at Nobles and are you from around these parts? Derek

Geo Car looking stunning – so different with those wheels! Not sure about the rear window decoration though. Derek
