woohoo, remembered my login details...

Well I am over here doing my bit for Anglo/New Zealand relations. Things are going well. Mostly settled now, got the house, got a job, even got a cat!

If any of you are on Facebook then search for me, Paul Gardham.

Thanks for remembering me Ray. I was thinking about the group not so long back. Wondering if the club is still going strong, looks like it is. Miss the meets and you crazy bunch, notto mention those stunning motors. I dadre notown a Scooby here, they get nicked all the time here.

Tons of them on the roads though, mostly old wrecks but you see the odd nice one. Seen a few of the new shape also, and I have to say I don´t mind the shape when you see it in the flesh. Still a C4/Focus influence but it grows on ya.

I think Legacy´s are more popular here. B4´s all over the show.

Thanks Dave & Chrissy for keeping intouch and drawing me back in. Must admit that after I sold the Scoob I kinda drifted away, like ya inevitably do sometimes. Will try harder to stop by fromtime to time. NZ is a little slow when it comes to technology, so I don´t get online anywhere near as much as I used to.

Best wishes to you all and safe driving. Someone do a good flameout for me

Laters all.

Paul

StealthScooby.

A HUGE thanks to all of ya and for those kind words Ray.

It has come out of blue but we are both so looking forward to it now, especially the quarter to 7 flight in the morning...NOT []  I still got your number Ray so when we get back to the UK I'll give ya a call.

Fed up with with scoob right now, what a parting gift it has given me!!! 2 flats, same wheel, in 5 days. Goes to take the wheel off this morning and the locking nut key breaks!!! now I can't get the fooking wheel off [:@]

Looks like it's staying parked up till Dad can get it repaired.  What a right royal pain in you know where!

Oh well,sunnier climes await so I don't really give a beep hee hee

Fair well all and the very best to each and every one of ya. [Y]

Paul.

Cheers one and all....  We will hopefully be keeping a blog type thing on the following site www.getjealous.com/katieandpaul It will have pictures and a map thingy on where we have been. If we can keep it up to date that is lolol

Have a cracking summer

Paul.

Thanks for those ideas, they'll come in handy. Got a huge list of places we'd like to see and only 3-4 months to do it, we should really stop adding countries hehehe.

Sure will pop back in [Y]

Hey one and all...

Just to say farewell to all that know me.  Not been in the club that long but a lot has happened in the last couple of months and it has led up to me going off travelling. I'll be selling my Scooby this weekend.

Thanks to Iain for being a great RO, only sorry I couldn't make it to more events. Best of luck to Ray and Anna, it was good to meet you both.  All the best to Kip and to all those I've met on the meets, it's been a pleasure.  Sunnier climes await....Spain, Portugal, Italy to name a few []

Have a great season one and all !!

Paul

0-3 to the Reds (well... yellows for tonight)... Result!!!

Just watched it....that was some accident Petter had!!!  Good insight into the team though.

Thanks guys! I hope so to as it sounds pretty sick when the light comes on.  I think the spacing of the sensors is what is wrong as sharp jolts and when you give it some round corners seem to set it off.  Bloody cars!! nothing but hassle and money.

How unhappy am I!!!

I can't go to Fastshow my car is playing up. Had it lowered a fortnight ago and it's now got a problem with the ABS light coming on, which then causes this horrid grinding/rubbing noise.  It's booked in to be seen on Monday but obviously they won't touch any upgraded parts, so it's more for diagnosis than anything else.

Sorry to let you down at such short notice Iain but I don't wanna risk breking something, it's my only means of transport.

grrrrr not very happy, but you all have a great day and I look forward to seeing the pictures.

Paul.

Good pics and an awesome turnout. Bulldog spirit eh, stuff the bad weather! [Y]

Very funny and the last one thill the summer! Must have just filled the remaining slots since Hamster recovered, still one more special to go and it'll soon be summer anyway.

That great escape trolley in the Panda was genius, and when JC came scooting down on it when they braked was so funny. HAHA

I bet the driver won't be to popular with Bugatti either coz I didn't think they were on sale??

Looking smart Ian, they do make it look more agressive at the front.

I noticed that they are still heavily advertising the Pirelli branded stock when I was over on the SWRT site. Might still have a contract to see out or maybe just got shed loads of stock.  Who knows??

I can't make this meet sadly. Got shed loads of jobs to do around the house and I can't avoid em.

Sorry guys and gals, see you all at the next one though!

TomTom 910 is a great peice of kit. You can get speed camera alerts (updatable from your pc), road traffic info and it has a hard drive so you can load it up with loads of junk like music if so wish.  TomTom has always been the market leader with everyone else competing for the top spot and you oly have look in peoples cars as they go by on the motorway to see which brand is most popular.

I think it was Fifth Gear on tv that compared the leading models for speed of finding satelites, acuracy and ease of use and the 910 came out on top. TomTom's aren't cheap by any means although prices are falling as they are getting so popular so a good look online should help ya out.

Good luck with the move [Y]

To right Robbie, dock em 25 for good measure!

Nice one Ian... the atmos is just awsome up there. Been in the Kop a couple of times and there is nothing like a rendition of 'you'll never walk alone' to make you deaf, lol, but full of pride. Amazing!

Hope the new stadium lives up to the bastion that is Anfield.

sorry to hear that mate, hope it sorts itself out.  Yes it was heading to MK off J13.  I was in the ANC lorry sat behind you at the lights []

I'm avoiding my parents place as my dad has been struck down with it. I'm so hoping I can avoid this one!

Nice looking motor ya got there... I had a dark blue one before my current one, nice colour.  Enjoy it, I'm sure you are [Y]

Sorry to hear about the accident and the loss of the scoob.  What ever ya get, enjoy it and best of luck. [Y]

Nice one, sounds like a grand day out. If I am ever up that way again I will give it a drive.  Superb pic's!

Morning... I'll be messing about on the 'puter for a bit then going to bed, the joys of being a night worker!

Red S reg classic, J13, turning right down the A421 last night at about half 10??
