  1. i'm a timeserved "hardworking" plumber for a local building firm. looking to go offshore soon, while am still young ! just not got round to doing my RGIT
  2. Am sure Keith will be but Elgin won't and am needing to fuel up aswel
  3. there is, i checked that before the mechanic came out on Friday, it only got an oil change two weeks ago as well
  4. No not my tabby...... my catalunya on the way home from work on Friday i decided to pop in past my girlfriends. As i was slowing down to pull in to the drive i changed down a gear, engine died phoned the garage and they came straight out !! he had a quick look over the car made sure it wasn't the timing belt. Couldn't see anything so he tried turning the engine over, as he was doing it there was a grinding noise coming from the engine bay. I don't know a lot bout engines but from what iv heard i thought it might be the big end bearing, i finally got the car in to the garage tonight and there looking first thing tomorrow, i spoke to the mechanic earlier tonight and he reckons its the crankshaft ! i know its going to cost £££s if it is !! Can anyone help me out, i need to know what options iv got. do i just get it fixed ?? iv heard there is a local engineering company thats fitted a lot of reconditioned engines to scoobys or do i search breakers for a second hand engine ??? Ryan
  5. I'm with endsleigh, i can prob get cheaper though !! was over in Amsterdam in April for a stag do.... u have to go go karting and i heard the banana bars pretty good
  6. top notch Al, ill have to meet up with you sometime and get a pair
  7. the person that has it cant have had it for long, 6 months at the most. if i get a chance ill av a look at it and ill let you know what sort of state its in
  8. Not got a bike yet but am having lessons, should be past my test in the next couple months hopefully ! Got offered an S reg, CBR 600 for £2000, its done 31k miles and pretty tidy looking, is that a good enough sounding price ? am not 2 sure on prices of bikes yet ! And would a 600 be a wise choice for my first bike, or would that be a bit big?? Ryan
  9. thats where i got my pink badge + got clear indicators for about 30 puid [Y]
  10. i saw a silver classic, n reg, gold wheels, sti 5/6 rear wing down in lossie last night . Never seen round here before ??
  11. hope the guys are ok, seen the pics in the evening express last night !! I would agree that an age restriction would be good but its hard to say if it would make a difference, I was 21 when i first got my scooby and i know a few guys younger than me with them now. I also know some guys that are 23/24 year old with little 1.2s and 1.4s that are total idiots on the road and given a high powered car for a week would almost certainly smash it !! id say its weather the person driving the car is mature enough to have it, but there is no way of knowing who is and who isn't !!
