Certianly different chap. Doesn't look that high in real life, slope of the drive might have affected it a bit! Tints on silver look good (on the back at least - don't do the front or Boris' colleagues will make you take em off again!) 5t.

Got back to Edinburgh about 12 Neil so can't have been that far apart. We did a steady 75ish on the Mway although the journey wasn't as steady up the A702 As we were sharing we filled up before we left and when we got back so 2 and a quarter tanks in total. not bad really. Went down on one (350 miles, 50 litres and red light a glow) and used the extra bit with the higher speed coming back. Not bad for a well modified car running at 3000rpm at 70mph! 5t.

For a first time event it went really well. i think everyone had a good time and hopefully those few i overheard being grumpy will have a re-think! well done the organisers, well done the people on the bridges and well done the vast majority of owners that followed the rules! 5t.

Me and Scoobysounds made it to Carlisle before refuelling when we got passed by Higgy and a couple of others. total fuel cost was £130 so better than hoped for. 5t.

Typical polished entry welcome back! 5t.

Plus you need to insist on speaking to Gary as the others don't handle the discounts. Might not be able to do anything noww but if you are registered on Scoobynet you could drop him a PM there. 5t.

Anything from KM? 5t.

Anyone leaving Falkirk on the morning able to give me a lift to meet up with Scoobysounds? We're travelling together but as he's Edinburgh it's 15 mile extra on the journey so be good to catch him at Lanark. Anyone able to help out? Cheers, 5t.

Thanks chap. will give them a call. Was hoping the end of september might be cheap time/low season. guess not! 5t.

I got him no problem. Quote was good. Paperwork out nice and speedy. No issues. Of course i haven't made a claim (touch wood) and that's when customer service really comes into it but as for the 'buying expereince' no problems at all. I had a-Plan on my FTO they were great for a year then tried to jack the price right up for the second year so I left quick smart! 5t.

Nip over to Scoobynet and get the details for Moley. Did us a good deal on same mods and age. 5t.

Hi there, visiting from the Scottish section... Looking to go to the Isle of Man in September (just for the sake of it not to see any particular races) does anyone know a good cheap place to stay (preferably self catering cottage type thing) that will sleep four blokes (in their own beds although twin rooms allowed) that is within staggering distance of a pub? Basically want to spend a few days touring round but we'd like to do it as cheap as we can (without sleeping in a skip) it is our guys week away (looking to come monday and leave friday) so we just want somewhere we can dry our kit if we get wet and sit and have a blether over a few beers either at the cottage or in the pub. Other things to see/do also needed as we'll have 3 full days on the island and we aren't just there for the bikes and blasting over the moun tain. two of the bikes are Pan Europeans with 60 year olds on them! All suggestions welcome. cheers, 5t.

I think i might be about to touch your goat..... 5t.

Money is the same reason i can't make it though. Even 3 tanks is £180 and with accomodation and food it just isn't possible right now. To say i'm gutted is an understatment but needs must so will just have to swallow it. 5t.

We hit them for the Coast Rode stuff. Apparently they tend not to do stuff like this anyway. I know someone in central area had an arrangement with them for the Richard Burns tour and they pulled out at the last minute. BP were the latest to get a big serve on the PR front thanks to profits, might be worth trying them for the BP race fuel sponsorship.... 5t.

Aye you'll need a proper spray job rather than dent devils. not had it done i'm afraid so can't recommend anyone. Gutting though chap. 5t.

Daily driver here, about 50 miles a day if i'm not taking the bike... 5t.

No different to the ols Sierra Cossie saloons i remember South Yorks showing us as a kid. Agree you'd fancy your chances agains t biofuel Corsa but a decent driver in a decent car... no way. The time it doesn't work is for stolen cars etc and i don't know how much of the job that is but is reckon most is simply routine stops for drink drivers and other muppetts who aren't going to go through fields etc to try and get away. Not sure about things like the Evo on Interceptors though, i would be looking for performance without the servicing costs so the Scoob is good choice! 5t.

Hypertech did mine too and nothing wrong with the results. They also have a good relationship with ProGrip, we wanted the mini doing (classic) at the same time and spoke to ProGrip about it - neither of them could do it! ended up going to local place where they still do imperial! 5t.

Went back to the car yesterday at the Park and Ride at Ingliston and walking up to it is could see something on the driver's window. First thought "just the light" Second thought "a flyer" Third "i bet some @!"£$%!£ has hit the car and driven off" At this point i was dreading looking at the back bumper or passenger side of the car as i was convinced it would be mashed. When i finally get up to the car it is a Lothian and Borders ticket. Having had two in the last month for the bike (both reversed) I was thinking "now what!!!!" Read the top, yeah my car etc... the offence??? "Get Yer Car Cleaned 5t" Nice note from Boris B! I was totally bricking it for a minute there you swine! In my defence officer the car appears to literally pull the turd from the seagull's bottoms. Car is covered in it but the mrs' car parked right next to mine, totally untouched!!! 5t.

cold. it expands when warm 5t.

I've just got a second ticket for not displaying a valid disc on my bike... except i have, it's by the front wheel. clearly the wardens can't be bothered to bend down. 5t.

very smart. seen a few now but white might just be the new blue. 5t.

It does largely go on weight not power though. Might be up and down the gears a bit but in theory he should be ok legally... 5t.

Ah! well never been a bad price although i can't remember if the vans had a towbar fitted or not. Hope it helps chap. 5t.
