  1. My reason is to pop in now and again for stragglers Grant
  2. Oh bollo*ks Swear to god i thought it was Sunday Park Rally/Knockhill Plan was KH on Sat and rally on Sun .................... DOH Need to get Imy to choose as i want to see both If i decide to go to the rally then i will PM you on Fri night after i speak to the wife Grant
  3. Yep i am still heading down on Sun Wont be at Happendon but i can hook up with you at New Galloway about 0900-0930 as its a lot shorter through Dalmellington than across to Happendon although the roads from Happendon to Newton Stewart are ace Ill pm you my mobile number so we can rendezvous at the start of the New Galloway to Newton Stewart road Grant
  4. << Cal, I have now Absolutely Yes, that would be great. Never did see any pictures of 616 ARL on the track but heard he did well up there. What does a buddy have to do to get such a copy >> I do know Cal likes page 42 of the Karma Sutra if that helps Grant
  5. Good to hear you are keeping the car 18 pounds only another 100 to go then you will be as skinny as me, trust me it does help the 0-100 times Here are some pics of my exhaust which again, trust me its louder than a Blitz without the Antilag on. Willie at Meerkat built it but it is the same idea as C&C do to make it really loud, you will need to get rid of those pesky cats
  6. << Oi Squirrel, I'll have the STINGER out tomorrow morning!!! 9am??? Do you not know how to work mobiles, e-mail or PMs? Bloody van drivers!! >> Better be a long range Stinger cause ive been papped down to Dumfries Ho Hum "Do you not know how to work mobiles, e-mail or PMs?" ................................. LOL Will phone you at the start of the week as i think im heading to Wales on friday Grant
  7. 23.38 litres of Opti AAAAAAHHHHHHHH lovely Grant
  8. Karps Ill see if i can get yours in burberry with neon trim .................. Grant
  9. My wee Imy is also of the understanding 4 in a 1,000,000 When i explained the GEMS would make the car sound a rally car with all the pops and bangs, she was like OOOOHHHHH Sold I love you baby Grant
  10. Yeah, Willie gets on well with the guys at C+C, as you say "exchange of business basis" Ive always backed you up on C+C stuff because the guys there built us 2 flexi centre sections for the Grp N Astra,1 for the car and 1 spare. Nine rallies later and the original is still together the previous one from Harry Hockley lasted 2 rallies Greersport now use Meercat because he is only round the corner from them and as im always down at Greersport then thats why i got Willie to build mine, saying that i stay only a mile, as the crow flies from C+C, so next time your over at C+C give me a shout and we can meet up for a chat.........without the use of keyboards Grant
  11. When was the record high number? Was i on at the time?, Law of averages say yes ..... Grant
  12. 1 day and counting [Note to self] Dont go past Dougsters work in the morning BTTT Grant
  13. Meercat exh down in Kilbirnie is the exact same as C+C in Hillington Custom fit systems to the highest standard ................... Greersport have a Prodrive 1998 WRC downpipe, ceramic coated , very Gucci. Willie @ Meercat made up a template to "reproduce" the downpipe Its a snakes head design with a splitter separating the wastegate from the exhaust turbine output It cost roughly £260 just for the downpipe,the Prodrive one costs £600+, so it is top value for money If its good enough for Prodrive to fit to the World Rally Cars then its good enough for The Squirrel A couple of weeks before i got it fitted i was watching a video of Walter Rohrl in the Group B Audi Quattro, which was fitted with a massive side exit spitting flames I thought to myself, i wonder if you could fit that on a Scoob ................ HHHHMMM Put the car on the ramp and spotted it could be routed between the tank and the floorpan, so it was possible When the time came for me to get the system built and fitted, it was desicion time do i want a Dragger style or do i want a Side Exit, Dragger are like ar*eholes - Everybodies got one Willie at Meercat told me that a Side Exit without a silencer would be loud, very loud and was i sure thats what i wanted, "Yeah go for it" was the fateful words 8 hours later it was finished, when we started it for the first time, in the garage, think WW2 Spitfire x 10. Headed up the road home, about 15 miles,by the time i got home my right ear was in agony. Starting to think ive made a booboo, after work the next day i ran the car down to Willie to see if there was any way taking the edge off it, Willie was one step ahead of me, he had already made up a silencer because he knew i would be back With the silencer on its still loud but the raw edge has gone and the stereo has become audible, unfortunatly so has Imy .... ONLY KIDDING DEAREST.....cause i know Imy will read this at work Build quality is spot on, no fouling with a rally style spring loaded sheath connection The icing on the cake was the "Jaunt" on sunday when West Lothian Scoob said my car was spitting flames big style without the Antilag running,a la Group B Impreza. All i need now is the driving talent of Mr Rohrl and another 400 bhp and ill die a very happy man Brian, when you do eventualy rid your car of they damn restrictive Catalytic Converters, visit Meercat for a Snakeshead downpipe, he also stocks the new Hi Flow Sports Cat which we put on the Group N car to tremendous effect Colin Greer said the car felt like it was decatted, Higgy was telling me on Sunday that he got a 30hp improvement fitting one of these Sport Cats Grant
  14. First of all ..... Cued Mille Failte ...Gaelic for "A Thousand Welcomes" Pleasure to meet you on Sunday Simon It would really pee the SN hierarchy off if every post in Scoobynet Scotland was a link to SIDC Back in a mo ................................................... Grant
  15. Read the "How to" section in Strictly Technical You can attatch images in the reply box Grant ie
  16. No chance of using Monkton then Bah Hum Bug Grant
  17. No sound files just a lot of eye witness accounts of the devastation caused by the volume With or without the Antilag running Just ask Rice Rocket, OpelCorsa, STI-ZLV, Coulty, WRC no1 etc They will all tell you how loud it is I think my picture files are all to large but will try and resize just for you Grant
  18. Carl t The white MY98 is Subarstar, Norrie, good guy with a nice car Grant
  19. Thanks for the swift reply Phil ................ Didnt wanna step on toes Grateful for our new home .................. Will try a couple of designs with the SIDC logo out and pm them to you from approval Might even be able to put username on it if specified 1.TheSquirrel555 .......................... Both .............................. Silver/Chrome 2. SCOOBAY....................................Both................................???????????? 3.Billyboy........................................Both.................................???????????? No Commercial gain will be made all costs will be spread evenly between all who participate Grant Billyboy could you not get a bigger author icon ............
  20. Nice idea with the SIDC and the Saltire ............. HHHMMM very nice Could you find out how much it will be and are they inside of the window or the outside? Will you accept a drawing on the back of a fag packet of the SIDC sticker to qualify as getting a replacement new shiny one? ............... Used to have a SIDC oval sticker on the back of my first WRX which i owned for 5 weeks till some idiot wrote it off Is there any copyright issues on "SCOTTISH SCOOBIES" Over the next couple of days i will fiddle with the computer to see if can come up with a suitable typeface for it If i was to put SIDC on it would that infringe copyright ? Cheers Grant
  21. << Have to agree with Grant,not the easiest access if your from out of town plus all those horrendous speed bumps & the beach front is usually very busy with boy racers.Alternatively,those that don't know the town centre too well could meet at Monkton Lodge then be escorted(convoy) to Horizon Hotel Just a thought,cheers Del >> As in a Police escort, flashing lights and all ......... Grant
  22. 1. Sti-zlv (Matt) 2. CAZ1562 (Derek - Silver WRX) should be OK 3.TheSquirrel555 Just remind me on the Mon .... Grant

We can try to organise 2 of them a year 1 at the beginning of the summer{April/May} and 1 at the end of the summer{August/Sept} and maybe 1 during the winter if there is enough interest Diffrerent areas of Scotland with a Stirling/Cumbernauld/Central starting/meeting point so that every one has an equal distance to the start Grant
