Cheers for the comments guys, need to ponder on the situation for a good while before making any harsh decisions!! My mum always said to me "If you dont know what to do, dont do anything at all" . Think thats a pretty good saying in all honesty.

Car wins hands down but it would be easier to sell the car than the house

Cheers, Just gonna wait and see how things pan out and hope that it doesnt come to the stage where i need to sell the car. That would be the ultimate kick in the stones

Only problem is that id need more cash than i could get from selling the bike!

May have to sell the spec c!! Just had a ****ty break up with the missus and either need to sell the car to buy her out the house or sell the house!! At the moment Id rather sell the house and keep the car but that might just not be an option!! What do i do?? It took me ages to find a nice clean example of a spec c that was standard and not abused and after owning it for 2 years now it been by far the best driver's car I've driven!! Lifes a bitch sometimes!! Joe

The first one is nice but i do like the 2nd one too. Only problem with the 2nd on is that there is no mention about mapping etc when that would be one of the first topics to address on a modified car!

As far as im aware it is legal to have a smaller plate on the front of your car if it is an import and there is nowt the plod can do about it. Will try and find the regulation on it as i had it looked up when i was pulled for smaller plate.

May have some pics of when i changed the timing belt, tensioner and idlers on my scoob. If i can hunt them out ill stick them up

Welcome mate, hope you enjoy the scooby ownership!! And that merc looks class!!

Really sorry to see this. Hope the little cnuts get caught and their limbs torn apart!! Feel for ya mate!!

Not exactly sure how you go about it. My mate had his insurance company write off his merc as they said the price of the repair costs were too high in comparison to the value of his car (think the car was worth about 8k and repairs were about 5k). He agreed to get the car written off and asked what will happen with the crashed merc. They gave him the option of keeping the crashed merc for a small fee (think about 600-800quid). In the end he repaired his merc himself and was left with a couple of grand in his hand. Just ask your insurance company what will happen to the car if they were to write it off. They should give you the option to hold on to the crashed car, if they dont just ask and tell them it has sentimental value to you or something. Just google "buying your car back from insurance" and you will get a lot of info on how to go about it. Hope this helps. Joe

Haha! You werent driving a VW by any chance as my wee bro commented on someone peeing in the fast lane

Roads on bute are now completely covered with snow as the gritter with the plow has decided to slide off the road into the ditch!! Makes the driving so much more fun now!! Just back in from an hour and half a tank of fuel "playing" in the snow. So much fun, only thing is now i need to get the ferry off the island tomorrow to get Super unleaded . Worth it all the same

Get the insurance company to write the car off, get the cash for the car from the insurance company to buy a new scoob and buy yours back from the insurance company for buttons. My mate did that and it ment he could break the crashed and make a few quid from it!!

Its taken my wee brother 2 and a half hours to get from livingstone to Glasgow and he is only half way down the road . Nothing worse than being stuck in traffic like that!!

4 hrs of snow on the isle of bute thisafternoon!! About 4 inches or so over the gritted and snow plowed roads!! Need to get out for a play in the car when the missus gets in from work

Cheers for the info guys. Had the police come to my door just there with my keys in their hand. A young boy found them on the street and handed them in. Thanks wee man you saved a lot of hastle for me and put a smile back on my face!! Its nice to know there are still some good people in the world. Its a shame they didnt know what the boys name was or where he stayed as i want to get him something to say thankyou!!

Im hoping i dont have to go down the road of new locks etc but that might be the only option! Any ideas folks??

Hi folks, i have a bit of a problem. I have lost my car keys and dont have a spare set. I have a spare fob for the immobiliser but no key. What do i do now? Is it possible to get a code off the ignition barrell and have a key made from that? Or is it gonna be a case of changing everything????? Any help would be much appreciated Cheers Joe

For the first time in ages the west coast has snow. Wooooooo, forgot how much fun you can have in the scoob with the snow!!

Go with the spec c!!! Still stands if you wanna try mine!!

Well done all for a great turn out today. Got heaps of photos so will stick them up when ive been through them. Like the pops and bangs baz definatly turned a few heads!! Im sure we all brought a lot of smiles to the kids at yorkhill!! Great effort by all!! Was good to put names to faces for a change. Will definatly be attending some meets in the future. The wee one keeps saying "I saw santa today"

Look forward to meeting you all tomorrow! Only met a couple of you in the past! Roll on tomorrow!

Well done everyone. The effort will be rewarded as you see the kids faces tomorrow!!
