  1. That and the fact i have a severe chest infection which is causing me severe discomfort I was not going to Yorkhill this year but i have put a form round my workplace to raise some money for the sick kids Not much point of me attending the meet if i it going to all be about the Santa Cruise and i am not attending it So i would rather sit in the house and watch my favourite TV program......... Grant plus i dont find out if i am running to Edi airport with the overfill until about 1900 and by the time i get home and get changed i would not be there until late plus it will dispell the clique references if the clique is home watching TV

  6. Might make it along but usually do the frieght run on a Thurs Grant
  7. I always try and pick a central starting point I was in the seat for a hour and a half prior to departure from Perth and totaled nearly 500 miles in total. Trust me, 500 miles on HKS coilovers is an experience that rivals the Japanese torture tests As these things dont happen that often, we all need to make that we bit of effort to accomadate everyone. Grant

  11. Looking for feedback regarding suitable areas that can be used for our next Jaunt in the country Also how many would be acceptable in a year? Early March, Late May and End of August for example There has been 5 runs in total Areas visited have been......Cairngorms area twice..........Run down to Newton Stewart........Loch Lomand and north to Inverary...................Down to Moffat and up the Devils Beeftub. All have them so far have involved some cracking roads but i am looking for some suggestions for me to recce. Grant
  12. Still waiting, only 6 more days left They nabbed the car in front of me for defo as the owner of that car got the bad news through last week Grant
  13. They would have had a field day if they had stopped us in Blairgowrie on the way back I had the cops tail me all the way to work but never stopped me. Grant
  14. << << PMSL... So Sharon was giving Ruby some stick was she ? >> Ofcourse, as i was told before- "i drive it like it's stolen" lol Magic day, really enjoyed it. P.s. Gumball i only ran out of fuel after taking some dodgy advice that i'd have enough to get me to Perth at the garage where everyone (except me) filled up........... >> That would have been me who dished out said dodgy advice I am afraid i dd not factor in the "drive it like you stole it" quotionant into the equation I promise i will make it up to you Grant
  15. and what a loverly turbo it is. Gonna fit it when the current hybrid starts to feel slow........ So right now it is indeed holding open the door I reckon the car should break the 400 barrier quite easily but will my gearbox handle it....Doubt it Got a TD05 16g sitting next to it and by christ how small does it look compared to the 20g Grant
  16. 714 Kilometers, car still reads in Kilometers and i think it is roughly 480 miles £120 in Optimax 16 Hour day Absoloutely amazing day out Weather stayed nice and dry, perfect for those induction temps Not as slidy as i first thought it would be Hard as hell to lead the group over the Lecht in the pitch black with the lights slowly getting caked in crup Got to put some more faces to names, which was nice Loved following JCScoob in the dark and using his flaming exhaust as a beacon Extremely high standard of driving from everyone. Never saw one traffic car all day but i was driving as if they were round the next corner Tried to keep the pace favourable to the peeps behind me so thank you if you thought my pace was ok and sorry if you think my pace was toooo slow Hardly any traffic on the roads and only overtook about 3 cars all day long Still trying to get used to this suspension set up but i am starting to get the hang of it and starting to enjoy it. Towards the end i started to carry a bit more speed into the corners and the car felt so planted Cant remember who had the fault at Glenshee, white WRX with tiny steering wheel. PM me and i will tell you the fault codes 24 and 45 Grant
  17. The stickered up Terzo that resides in Girvan used to belong to Billyboy. You still got that wee dinky Shell garage down the back of the town? True drivers road going down to Newton Stewart...... Grant
  18. Best of Donald Duck to you mate Give me a shout if you need a flat 4 fix and i will be around in a flash Do you know Colin drives a X Trail, well sometimes..... Grant
  19. << Mate wasnt ment as a bad thing as i have spent many years working with fellow country men like yourself when i was serving Queen and country, >> Did you work in the canteen at Bucky Palace? Grant
  20. The tyres are G3 Grid Bridgestones and they have a unique plastic compound which does not mix well with water. You will enjoy corners a lot more when you can actually go round them Grant
  21. I have a TD05 16g sitting here for sale Also got a Td05/06 20g but thats not for sale, thats for killing myself with Grant
  22. Wide bodied 98 WRC car or Andy Forrests Type R Grant
