Just had a look at some old photos and there's one of the plate with the number on it. It's actually 228! Wasn't far away. Lol

Anybody? Think it may be in the Aberdeen area now.

Looked roughly like this when I sold it

Cheeers Neil. It's definitely not 282 then, as I'm sure I saw that car on a forum back when I had mine. Will need to get on to my old computer tonight and see if I can find any photos showing the number.

Hi all, just thought I'd post up a message to see if I could track down the Terzo I used to own. I think (although I'm not totally sure) it was number 282. I sold it to a guy from Alexandria (Dunbartonshire), or there abouts, and then he sold it on to someone from Aberdeen if I remember correctly.

The reg is R*** JPG. When I sold it at the start of 09 it had a P1 front splitter and P1 wheels on it.

Would just like to know if it's still going and what it's like now.

Cheers

Alan

Oh right. Yeah it was a great car! Still miss it. Last summer when I got it exactly the way I wanted it(new ECU mapped, bumpers tidied up etc) has to be one of the best I've ever had. Was great going for a blast into Glasgow on a Friday night after work when the weather was hot! Think I'm probs looking back with the rose tinted specs on though, lol I did spend a fortune on it!

I'm actually looking for another late UK classic(99/00) now - going to buy a totally standard, low mileage one, and just spend some money on it to get it the way I want it. Maybe have this one just over 300bhp. Was looking at 03/04 ish UK Stis, but think I'd have much more fun modding a car again, and getting it exactly how I wanted it. Could have a mint 300bhp UK Turbo and still have a few thousand to spare off the price of a good blob Sti.

Want the trailer license for work, and towing a track car up to Khill in the future.

this wouldnt be the alan i bought it from would it?

Certainly is!

ive just passed my test and used a guy in stirling, I did it with a friend and it was around £700 for the 2 of us he gives you a discount if there is 2 people and basically he took me and my mate out and we took it in turns to drive, he uses a nissan xtrail with a box trailer not too big either just enough to legally test. We had 2 lessons starting at 8 in the morning till 4pm saturday then sunday was the same then test was next day on the monday in the morning.

The test is done separately and the test routes are livingston, broxburn, bathgate, and a few other places around that area.

His name is chris and the company is called icu training here is there website http://www.icudrivertraining.co.uk/page8.html

hope this helps you

Cheers for the info.

You've sold the Terzo I see?

turns out this is the same guy I was on about

stuart@towlegal.co.uk or phone 07721 659731

Thanks for the help. I've just sent him an email since it's Sunday, don't want to bother the guy by phoning!

there's a guy on the Landrover site I'm on involved in some sort of safe towing group, so I'll ask him if there's any he could suggust that are a bit closer

Thanks, would appreciate that.

i done mine with stewart moffat he is an instrutor with bsm, he is a spot on guy he is based in the newmains area his number 07721639731.

I phoned BSM direct and they said they didn't do it anymore. I've seen the guy doing it in Newmains though, so I'll give him a phone. Cheers!

Sounds good to me!

I drive all day at my work and travelling to a meet thats an hours drive away is not that apealing, so Lanark meet could be good, depending on the response

I'm from Biggar too!

If this idea had come along anytime in the last year and a half I would have been up for it. Just sold it though.

Didn't expect so many replies this morning!

Should have said - I'm near Lanark.

Yeah, I'm aware of the 750kg and under law, but that really doesn't allow for much. I want to be able to have a car on the trailer, and when I'm using it for work I'll have steel etc in it.

As above, if you've passed your driving test before 1997 you are allowed to tow anything. Bit of a daft law to be honest since someone who can barely drive a car, but passed their test before 1997 can tow whatever they want, but someone younger with more common sense wouldn't be allowed to. Doesn't exactly make the roads safer but there you go...

To be honest I'd probably travel as far as Kincardine for a good instructor, because as I've said already, the only other one I could find seemed more interested in making money than anything else.

Anybody else?

Hi all,

Can anybody point me in the direction of a driving school that can put me through a few lessons, and then the test for towing a trailer?

Would be much appreciated as the only one I've been able to find so far was insisting on giving me 15 lessons, despite not even having seen me drive!

I've reversed trailers on private property before, so I'm thinking I'll only need a few hours worth of lessons to get me into it and then I'll be able to sit the test.

hi mate was supposed to be getting mine done this week but will have to wait till i get my car back

Thanks, sounds good!

I'm looking to get a set of alloys refurbished soon. Can anyone recommend somewhere that does a good job?

Thanks

I just bought mine from Hypertech in Bonnybridge. Can't remember how much, but think it was less than £75. Maybe not, but try giving them a phone anyway - 01324812212

I just cant help myself posting this lovely picture of the car at its spiritual home.............

Its gallus.

You were at Hypertech for alignment one day I was there. Car looks cracking in photo and in person! :waving-santa:

Some great pics on this thread!

ScoUK, you were opposite me in the carpark at Lanark market.

Dropped the GB270 off at hypertech the day for some mods before i go to see Andy f on the 18th.

Vf34 ported turbo

3" milltek full decat

STI TMIC and undertray

Walbro fuel pump

Green panel filter

GP moto resonater delete elbow

NGK plugs

Lol, I'm going to see him on the 17th. Will post up results as well. Was up at Hypertech the other day picking up a walbro...had to fit it myself, because they were too busy getting other cars ready for Andy. Unlike you, I can't drop my car off there and leave it unfortunatly.

Hi all, thought I would put my first post in the Scottish section seein as i'm in Lanarkshire. Been on scoobynet for a while, but new to SIDC. Just thought I would say Hi anyway...I drive a Terzo.
