  1. Ok chaps, this is not relevant and airing other club's dirty laundry on here is not necessary - keep it to yourselves please or your posts will be removed without warning or explanation.
  2. Hi and welcome You're only as old as you feel bud
  3. Check you are going to get the correct service done, an 8 year old service is very different to a 60k one If the car has been serviced to schedule, your 8 year one is an oil & filter change with the normal level checks A 60k service is oil, air, plugs, fuel and all drivetrain oils - not the end of the world but a different service all together. As for parts, good quality parts are available without going to the dealer. Check your service history if you have one
  4. Well said James, difficult to strike a balance. I'm working on sorting out FB scenario.
  5. Welcome aboard - you got those photos back from the chemist yet
  6. Things that have been argued, debated and mulled over multiple times Alun, as you said 'you can't please them all'
  7. Few things about this FB page The powers that be never shut it down - I personally asked Phil to remove the SIDC name from the title for several reasons: Firstly, he didn't have permission to set it up in the first place. Phil stepped down as VC for personal reasons and to then do something like this without at least having a discussion first was wrong. Secondly, on more than one occasion within that page there were negative remarks regarding the forum, club and/or committee - these are not acceptable if you are trying to promote the club. Phil then chose to close it down, rather than amend the title - I see FB as an additional medium to the forum and club where events, threads etc can easily be promoted but people then begin using that medium on FB without the need to go to the club site or forum and this would detract from the need to become a user and or member of SIDC as a club/forum. Just as you are disappointed because you thought it was a good idea, there were just as many, in fact more, who thought that it was a silly idea, i.e how many SIDC FB pages do we need? There still is the Scottish SIDC FB page, please feel free to use that. Remember the club is not only Scottish Alun, it's national and to a lesser extent international. I hope this answers some of your questions, and I would hope that your thread won't escalate into another slagging match about committee etc as it's simply not the case.
  8. Colin, can you text me a brief synopsis of your post mate, I fell asleep on the second sentence
  9. All you young neds are in the wrong club
  10. There's a Fiat in here somewhere!
  11. SIDC is viewed by them as 'the older type' of owner. I'm old so I'm here. They don't do so much on the driving side and there have been several attempts to unite for events or track days but these were shunned by various folk for various reasons. The state of our economy has hit the type of folk who made SIDC meets large and successful - I for one cannot be ar$sed going to a car park, rubbing other folks exhausts and talking sh!te - I want to drive my car - simples!
  12. Или вы могли бы поехать в Россию? Орфография похож
  13. Due to a wee shoulder injury I'm out guys - sorry. Have fun
  14. 6 months on, 6 off - tax for six and insure for all - better to be kept inside throughout the winter it won't do it any good sitting outside - disconnect the battery - it doesn't need starting every so often and if you park it up with low fuel just brim it when you are ready to use again
  15. I just wanted to say thank you to you all who attended. It feels great to be part of this club and I was proud to see so many like minded folk have a great AGM with some light hearted banter flung in amongst the more serious parts. Thank you to all those who travelled, some much further than others. I feel excited about forthcoming events both this year and next. Good times
  16. Thanks for the email John, I can't open the pdf sign on form
  17. Just to say thank you to Gordon G1983 for coming to me yesterday to let me try a couple of parts to fix my Fozzy - MAF was the culprit, still sourcing one - very kind of you. There was an upside to this kind gesture for all SIDC forum users too, for an hour or so he wasn't able to post shite! Just kidding big guy - thank you
