scouk

Ha haa! Reminds me on my brothers old WRX which had remote start.. Seeing a pile of neds hangign aroudn the car in a car park and starting the engine from a distance is just priceless!!

Oh my word that is just soooooo coool! .. the fact it's done sensibly? and not dicking about like many posts on youtube!

Hey Mark, That's really pish news! The short time you've been part of the club you've had a fair impact on it! No chance of being able to just get a cheap run around and keep the scoob? That's what I did a couple years back, stil strugglign to justify it as it doesn't get used much but I ain't letter her go! You still hoping to be involved with SIDC? Hope so! The really sad thing is.. Cost of ownership isn't going to get any cheaper

Only one thing to say.. RB5

Yeah those carbon panels really finish it off! I know there'a zillions of comments on teh net about it not being turbo'd, not AWD and no burble etc.. But IT's the missign the point.. There bretherin of vehciles were designed to be true drivers cars, and from the reviews startign to spill through, it's one of the best there's been since hte mad 80's! I'd be more than happy to have one! As a repeat to a comment I made a few months back.. My perfect 3 car garage: My Scoob (the project), Forester Diesel (the sensible choice) and a Subaru BRZ for true playtime in the summer! Yep there's definately a market for those battery clamps!!

Hmmm... keep the diggers on standby... Do you have any idea what will happen is 30+ Burbling Impreza's all drive through at once!

Yeow! didn't realise it was taking so long to get those roads sorted out! I thought a few weeks at most.. Sounds like it was much more serious that I thought!

Shame.. but for those that know the applecross road it does close suddenly from time to time due to problems with the road itself. Often closed for several days each year to resurface and rebuild parts here and there.. Such a shame there working on it during the fling.. But I think we'd all rather prefer it was safe..! Good we got the heads up early before trundling over there and raalising it's closed..

Putting a cat into the downpipe will in 99% of cases let you pass mot.. Some have gotten away with putting one in the center/cat pipe (which is easier to swap out come MOT time) but not all cars get away with just this one..

Hah! Finally a proper use of the flag emoticons on here

D'oh! I know this isn't the banter thread.. no wait! it is now!! but there's an idea!. THe SIDC Tour of UK! Where there's a planned route around the UK over how ever many days taking in soem great roads around the country. So people can hop on and off the tour in what ever area they wish. Coudl make for a great charity event! (Bagzeee NOT trying to organise it!) Maybe get local R/o's involved to do their bit Good on DAve to volunteer his services to teh Highlands LOL!

Tell me about it.. Mines been tucked away in the garage for weeks.. Taking her into work tomorrow though just to give her a wee run to make sure everything is working ok.. Them maybe see what the weather is like a the weekend and go for a run Scoob did less than 3,000 miles last year! Plans before the fling: Speaker Upgrade, gearbox oil change and hopefully rear ARB + ALK assuming nothings broken over the winter.

Quick! Someone pass the kleene..... OOps too late... :wub: Although cant help but notice that the road going saloon STi still has the word IMPREZA on the back

Yep! Gonna try get up to it this year! Thanks for the heads up on teh stages! That info has been kept under tight wraps until the last week or 2 before the event!

CooL! Good clear repsonse from Millers there

Would be interested to know if anyone had a definative answer to this.. I did some googlign the other day on it and couldn't find a direct answer. Just the usual well if it says use within 12 months blah blah.. But as Del says it coudl quite easily be sitting on a warehouse shelf for 12 months.. For it to be acurate it should be marked with a manufactur date or something.. Although I think teh bottles I have, are maybe past it.. Just came across them and the labels are all peeling and distorted and the bag they were in has kinda melted through on the bottom. Guessing it's maybe about time I disposed of them..

Anyone know how long octane booster lasts in the bottle? I know it says about 2 years or something.. I've had a few spare for about 4 years now.. Only ever use them on the fling Admitedly probably wouldn't do any harm, just maybe not as 100% effective as it woudl be..

Booked in They did get my email earlier and kept a room 3 Rooms left!

Crap! at work, don't have credit card with me.. Sent email to them.. No reply.. Will have to call later

Nice! Not seeing any carbon fibre bitties yet though Been thinking about giving mine a quick going over. Got in a bottle of poorboys blach hole recently and itchign to try it out.. May just try the bonnet for a laugh.. My car needs a damn good claying before I start getting serious!

Not restricted, but certainly a higher percentage of twonks on the road drive certain make / models of cars.. E.g. I've yet to see a people carrier drive at under the speed limit in a built up area or slow down near a school! It just doesn't happen! Yet drivers of these vehicles will the the first to kick up all the sh*t of the day when their little johnny or daisy get's knocked down walkign home from school! Porsche Drivers, surprisinly respectful! BMW Drivers, not too bad round here, couple twonks but often soon realise the superiority of AWD on a damp road and start to behaive themselves.. Worst out there at hte moment are Audi's, Vahxhalls (any model of vaux particularly VXR's) & Focus ST's Not all focus's.. but some.. Fords probably same level as Subarus IMHO.. SOme complete tw&ts out there driving subarus <flame suit on>. But quite a few respectful drivers too! I don't mind playing but when they start to drive erratically drawing unneccessary attention to themselves and comprimise safety their on their own

Question for ya...When heading into a car park and there's a lonesome scoob.. I tend to park next to it, with comfortable space.. Is this wrong?

Really wish I lived closer to Knockhill again

Buy yourself a set of traffic cones and stick them in the spaces next to you when you park up
