Hopefully next year will be better

 

That's what I keep telling myself.... still waiting....

Still about.. now and again... sort of.... and no I aint selling

Still here.. Mostly in spirit

Still have the scoob.. 

Would like to build up a mcrae gathering webpage in remembrance of the great man and the large scale event that was...

Just a reminder, I still have the SIDC Gazebo in case it's required for anything this year

D'oh! Only just picked up on this thread.. Been out in the wilderness Although the extended re-run of the Fling '14 last week was damn good fun!!

Cheers guys! Yeah the day was a good fun all in all.! Touch of scooby detailing in the morning, no stress levels through the day just everyone ralaxed and having lots of fun! Shame we don't quite have the same numbers of SIDC members in the area or would have tried to arrange a proper drive past the Liachmoray

Although naturally scoobies were used for the grooms wedding cars

In some way maybe... But the issue is emphaised somewhat and difficult to miss. still.. it's only cosmetic..

True.. but sanded down the affected area a few days ago to make the small blistery bit smooth for applying the vinyl. So Now got a nice white dot on the roof

Hoping to do the convoy through to Inverness. Dunno if I'll get my roof patched in time though

Damn! that sucks!! Feel for ya mate!

As above.. WRX 300 was a kinda last hurra for the blog WRX. No Sti bits but pretty much every optional WRX goody thrown onto it for good measure! PPP installed, Body & interior styling all upgraded from standard!

Agree the quoted price above seems steep for what it is.. I'm a little out of touch with pricing at the moment but I'd hagger a ball-park guess for around 4-5k average for that age of WRX... Possibly squeeze 5-6k based on a well looked after limited edition and low milage! Having said that the advert above suggests it may have sold for much more...

Not a definitive answer but hopefully gives you an idea. the WRX 300 is a kinda rarely and not everyone knows about its existence, sometimed confused with UK300 which is the tricked out bugeye WRX which was seemingly more popular.. Some other special editions are considered more valuable e.g. WR1 from that era but it was based on the STi and prodrive really went to town on it.. But the WRX300 it was still a limited edition.and still deserves a premuim price over standard WRX's IMHO

I think after doing other suspension parts i.e. springs/coilovers and anti roll bar bits yes...

Steering rack bushes were the last handling mod I did to my scoob. Does seem to give more 'feel' through the steering but didn't really make any noticeable difference to outright technical handling, but did give a bit more confidence in the steering.

Think there's just too much weight over the front end and currently considering removing front crash bar to see if that helps.. or at least repalcing it with a lighter mod version so it still triggers the airbags properly in teh off chance something was ever to happen.

EEEewwwwwww!!! #NSFW

Depends.. Deer left more physical damage.. The bird just made a mess of the intercooler.

I had that once... and with the splitter inside the scoop, the bird wasn't exactly in one piece after the event... T'was a messy cleanup operation afterwords...

Kinda gutted I'm gonna miss it this year.. Looks like a great spot for overnight stay!

Dave - you'll have to send me over the routes just for interest sake

You'd need to check with the powers at be.. but i dont think the the club has MSA insurance these days..

I think we can do closed club events but not public ones so difficult to cover costs. IIRC this is why we lost alford.. Can still hire the track for hooning around tho.

Used to use standard sort of snow foam stuff but last time I wanted to give Meguiars Hyper Wash a try!

http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/meguiars-hyper-wash-cat2.html

at £35 for learly 4l it's not necessarily cheap to buy but you dont need much so lasts ages!! Delivers a nice thick foam and as with all Meguiars stuff has a nice smell to it too!

Had this bottle well over a year and still have about a litre left.. Reckon I would buy again!

Nah I'm keeping the bug.. She was eyeing up a hatch at one point!!! Although both very fond of a 340r... Someday... maybe...

yeah will try get out to some things just dunno what... No promotion for me i'm afraid but house, wedding, trying to keep scoob on in good working order since it spends most of its time tucked away in the back of the garage

Once everything is out of the way and settled hoping to bounce back with avengence.. After the fling this year, the other half keeps insisting on learning to drive so she can have a scoob of her own!

Not sure how much I can put into the club in 2014 with all sorts going on with me at the moment.. But will see what I can do.. Hopefully I'll be able to get back into the swing of things in 2015!

Dunno.. Heading up through Mostoddloch after 3pm though so will keep an eye out..
