I'll agree with that I think the ole government couldn't try any harder to put us all off the road, scooby ownership is definitely not getting any cheaper

A couple of pics of the old RA still still unmodified 17 years young this year

Lancia Delta HF Integrale or 22b some day when I have a spare £20,000

Just an R1 chris lol boy's and their toys, Dave will be chasing your arse on his Ducatti soon lol now there's a worrying thought Dave with his big red thing chasing your arse

Dave Dave Dave so many questions, Ins £223, Tax £235, Service £120 less than half the price of the GB before turning a wheel, RA for the highland run, be wearing a blue jumper wi white polka dots now piss aff & stop hogging Barry's post ya donkey

Looking good Alistair, took advantage of the weather today as well think a wee details required though car surface is like sandpaper with tar & salt etc

Feck off cant beat the best of both worlds Paul, it was time for the GB to go while it was still worth something & the £1200 to put it on the road to drive 5,000 miles every year was just starting to take the piss

It's looking the absolute dogs bollocks Barry really can't wait to see it in the flesh, once you've driven a really good classic nothing else compares I think anything else you drive you always compare it back to your classic, mind & give me a bell when your'e coming up to Dunc's

Good to see you back on the road mate, hopefully catch up at some of the meets

sell the scoob & your toy audi & the tricycles & buy a real one then ya skinflint

About time you splashed out on some real brakes like Kevin's K-sports or the ones off the RS now your talking it's a :brickwall:job every time you touch them

I'll sell you a roof scoop with an RA attached better off shaving your eyebrows lol

Well looks like I'll have to give the bodywork of the RA some TLC again this year after the severe winter weather, all fluids, timing belt & radiator hoses are due to be replaced & I might source some bigger brakes to finish it off. The RS only took 4 hours to take it from standard to complete all planned MOD's taking it to 350 bhp @ 370 lb/ft of torque, bluefin superchip & remap, rally mud flaps & decals, samco air intake hose changed, new rear light lenses & LED bulbs fitted, seat covers, bee sting ariel, a total of £615 quid spent, it took me £4,000 & many hours toil to get the GB to this stage.

Filled up the cars day before the vat increase Van took £86 but will get around 750 miles from that RA £56 for v-power Thank **** I got rid of the GB £435 for road Tax, £500 for Ins, £125 for an oil service & £56 for a tank of V-power before you turn a wheel the government is making Subaru ownership a very expensive hobby

Sorry to hear about the health issues guy's it certainly put's things into perspective when you get news like that, we'll be keeping everything crossed for you and hope to see you around at some of the motorsport events in 2011, chin up Grant we hope you get better news soon mate. bobby & mags

Many congrats Craig hope your all well mate

Another top job Barry, I hope you'll be keeping this one for a few years so I can have a good drool every time I see it, mind & give us a bell if your up this way & pop in for a brew, you can get a wee swatch at my FWD toy lol

You got the car back from dunc the Fraser, saw the gauges getting fitted when mines was in getting ripped apart bobby

Not cancelling yet & still planning to attend but unless this alleged thaw kicks in over the next couple of days we might struggle to get through, only managed to dig the van out & get it running today for the first time since the snow appeared, the weather wont stop the scoob but the volume of traffic might. :kerstsmiley:

Yep £2500 + vat is what you are looking at to get you off, first mistake he will tell you was accepting the citation, i'll pm you a slightly cheaper lawyer but it's all about the prosecution crossing the T's & dotting the I's, they don't like taking motoring offences to trial because the police or court muck up the paperwork ar some point & you get off on a technicality, but it will cost. My son got representation by the guy I will pm you, speeding at 100 mph within first ttwo years of driving, he got two month ban & £400 fine no points & no resit result, lawyers fee £1000

it's elscorchio here at the top of the boiler positively radient

i get two extra night shifts cause no other fecker can get to work lol keep telling myself think o the pennies as i'm freezin ma knads off

Cheeky fockers he's even older than me

temp dropped from -6 to -14 in the space of an hour last night, temp was recorded at the Gas Turbine air inlet in Grangemouth

If you want to use the GB in winter it's off with the front splitter, takes about ten minutes, even on original suspension once the car wheels are in the ruts it just acts as a snow plough, be warned the top front bumper brackets can give first then it gets real expensive, remove it every winter is my advice speaking from experience.
