Tissy - Channel 5, Police Interceptors 19:54 chasing a Ford Orion!!!! Claire saw a P1 silver subaru star stickers down either side (in black) pulling out onto Sevenoaks Way, Orpington from Homebase this morning, she did wave but the lady just looked at her (she probably looked a bit special)

Thanks for all your help and advice guys, don't want you thinking I've been ungrateful by not replying. I am still very interested in getting the car detailed and have had a few quotes, but unfortunately its £500 I don't have at the moment. Going to have a good go at DIY'ing by hand (not using a machine polisher) and will have to work some overtime to get the extra money in to get it done professionally IF the DIY doesn't do it.

Cheers for the help guys, been looking at all the advice that you've linked me to and I think I know where I'm going... First stop, buy the decent materials Second stop, hope and pray for a decent weather day preferably when I'm NOT working But could someone let me know of any local firms that do the detailing professionally incase the missus has a go at this when I'm not looking

Hi Haven't posted here in ages, but I know you guys n gals to be ever helpful and from the same neck of the woods as me so hope to get some suggestions on this one. I got my RB320 back in December 08 and it has some swirls on the paint work. I've washed the car loads and got it nice and gleaming but haven't polished it cause I've been researching into the best products to use etc I've always used jet wash, sponge and bucket on all previous cars without problem, but now I'm reading everywhere that the sponge and leather method could be the culprit I'm looking to get the car polished up professionally and been looking into mopping and detailing - contacted one company that do 2 stages of detailing only to be told that this wont get rid of the swirls?!?!? Can anyone suggest anywhere I can get a good job done - I live in Orpington. Cheers Les

Saw a very clean looking Blue STI blob shape on Sevenoaks Way, Orpington this evening.. didnt see any of the reg cause it was sandwiched in traffic - got a little wave, responded with a nod in my RB320, missus in the front trying not to point and look obvious and her work friend in the back completely oblivious to what was going on outside of texting her boyfriend!! How ashamed am I at the state of my car after seeing that one

Happy Birthday hun From both Claire and myself

A German guy approaches a prostitute and says I vish to buy sex vit you' 'OK' says the girl, 'I'll charge 100 dollars an hour' "Ist goot, But I must varn you, I am a little kinky" "No problem' she replies cautiously, 'I can do a little kinky" So off they go to the girl's flat, where the German produces four large bedsprings and a duck caller. 'I vant you to tie ze springs to each of your limbs.' The girl finds this very strange, but complies, fastening the springs to her hands and knees. 'Now you vill get on your hans and knees.' She duly does this, balancing on the springs. 'You vill please blow zis vistle as I make love to you.' She finds all this very odd, but figures it's harmless, and the guy is paying. The sex is fantastic. She is bounced all over the room by the energetic German, all the time honking on the duck caller. The climax is the most sensational she has ever experienced, and it is several minutes before she has recovered her breath. Finally she gasps 'That was totally amazing....... what do you call that?' 'Ah', says the German, 'Four-sprung duck technique'

happy birthday passion wagon

I'd better start working some rest days (overtime) so I can afford to go to this

Speechless fella, absolutely speechless!!! Claire on the other hand is incensed by the position you've been left in and has spent the past couple of minutes ranting about what this guy has done to your car... I do hope for my earholes sake you intend to get them to pay for the damage they've caused. If I was that person I would be locked away in my house hiding from you in fear of my head being bounced all over the place!!!

Seen quite a few scoobies yesterday and today, but then again I was at Larkfield dealership Have to say though, was quite upset to see a very nice blue X reg parked up in the forecourt with front nearside damage unfortunately we were being walked round the back to collect my car so only got a quick look and Claire and I are undecided as to whether it was a P1 or an RB5 - apologies to the owner if you're on here and sympathies for the damage to your car, I would have cried if it was mine!!

Claire is dying to try out number 10 - I refuse to go shopping with her!!!!

Claire posting here: Saw a silver 'classic' (I think thats how you refer to them ) K reg, female driver, pulling out of Homebase carpark, Sevenoaks Way, then turned left at the mini roundabout and headed down Sandy Lane, Orpington. Considered letting you out for a split second, then thought NAH I wana go first LOL Soz, nice car though!!!! If you are on here and did see me, I was the one gawping at you from the drivers seat of the silver Mini Cooper

Is that the subtle way of telling PR08RAD (sorry don't know your name) that the car's been nicked and they've left the wheels LOL

Hey there Newbie - being much of a newbie myself its nice to see I'm not alone... even if you have a head start in knowing someone haha

Sorry I didn't make it last night, didnt get in from work till 9 and I was shattered. Hope it was a good night, with any luck I'll make the next one

If it is mine forget checking the number plate and see if the front splitter is broken LOL But while you're checking either out for details, be sure to make sure you're driving in a straight line PAST the car, not at it hahahaha Mine's got front fogs if that helps, seems most dont...

Oh god, look out lads, for the first time in her life Claire just looked at that map and instantly knew where it was... might have to look her indoors haha!!

Ok peeps I'm hoping I might sneak out of work early enough to come along to this Friday!! But no idea what time you are all meeting or what time I'll be able to get there you'll have to put up with the fact that I've washed it today so it will be 4 days dirty and the splitter is still like its name Perhaps someone could pm me a bit more info on The Wharf so I can set it in the Sat Nav (postcode would be handy cause thats the only bit Claire knows how to work LOL)

Hey hun, its Claire typing for myself (just for a change) Just wanted to say, late as I am for saying it, much as I love the cars and yours is a particularly nice one, f*k the car I'm more concerned with the fact that everyone in your car and the one infront were all ok... you can fix a car or replace it if necessary, theres only one of you and I'm sure nobody would be able to replace you hun But hey, what can I say, I'm a soft touch like that

Shouldnt have thought it would be me m8, more likely to be Lee I would think Thanks for all the welcomes

Claire is now hiding LOL thought I was being clever being non-discript on the company name, but its a bit obvious I guess Yeah that would be who I slave for, but I work at the H/O in Orpington (main yard for Syd Bishop Demolition) And Les is thinking #069 couldnt have been a better number for him!! We're hoping to get some better shots of the car soon, once the splitter is fixed, with any luck we should be in one of the next few editions of TI mag

Thought I should introduce myself, I'm Les and the missus is Claire, I'm 36 and a Train Driver for Southern, she's 27 and an Accounts Administrator for a Recycling/Skip Hire firm in Dartford. We live in Orpington with our 13 yr old German Shepherd bi*ch Leah. No kids yet, not married yet either, but I guess I'll have to catch up with Leebo some time But on to more important things I am the VERY proud owner of an RB320, edition #069 and here she is: Hope to be able to join in with some of the Kent Scooby meets some time, but my shifts make all aspects of my personal life an absolute nightmare!!! Oh and btw, Claire does most of my typing cause I'm dyslexic - but it makes me feel important cause I dictate to her and she writes it all down, feel like I have a translater/secretary

I only wish I could Granby, but the meet is 2 days before I'm on his insurance as a named driver, and I wouldn't dream of driving it 3rd party on my insurance, I respect the car far too much for that!! Perhaps once I've been a couple of times with Les and met you all I'll just tag along on my own - you'll have to put up with the fact that I've got a Mini though, I'm hoping to get a "My other car's a Scooby" sticker for it, hope that counts LOL

Somebody let me know if Claire turns up in my RB please - I'm planning on disabling it via the Metasat before I go to work, but her mobile is on it too and she knows how to work it better than me I wont need to give you any details of the car, she'll be the divvy one stalling it or reving the nutts off it!!!
