good idea

Hmm, Aviva decided to make mine £2546 with mods even though I am max protected no claims and over 50! £389 the previous year, harumph.

I got mine from Keith Michaels for £550 fully comp all mods declared, covers all future mads too.

noisy git

Takes about 20 mins really

The rear seat backs can make it interesting if you are ham fisted, lol. Walbros are quite long so as above just be careful you do not bend anything as you put it in.

your call, lol

Are you running with side lights switched on? It is a feature of Scoob alternators that they need a load on them to charge the battery, something to do with weight saving or summat like that. Without that load you will gradually lose charge at lower revs etc.

Do you hold a V5 in your name?

I know a lot of Germans in the Frankfurt area and they also have an opinion on Bavarians and BMW drivers - very similar to ours too! Around the M25 it is 5 series wall to wall in the outside lane going slower than the inside lanes, lol. Here in Devon it is often the diseasel 5s that cause the issues, with some Audis and mainly Corsas, Paxos and 106s.

evening

Better brakes and a suspension set up

2 tanks on the trip then, plus getting from home to start and then from the end to home, say 5 tanks of 45 litres each for meat say £1.50 for Scottish prices = around £340 in fuel. With a co driver could do one direction in one day. It is possible for under £500. Get some sponsorship for a charity and off we go eh?

We did mention that yesterday, but Brian would sruggle with his Spec C. I wonder how much fuel that would take? On a gentlr run I can get 30 to the gallon, how many miles is it?

only took me ten minutes, you may need to make a gasket or use some hylomar to seal it on your model, there was a rubber sealing ring on my MY06 intercooler but when I fitted a MY08 STi intercooler it was a smmoth fit, so I used some sealing compound after trying a hand made gasket (was not too happy with that attempt) works very well now.

Well we had a great day out with some fun roads round the North Coast, we eventually got to Lands End around 3.30 with a few spirited spurts where we could. It was great having nearly 1000hp there! One Spec C, one Spec T and one STi. Looking forward to doing something similar again next month.

OK guys n gals, this is on, Cap'n Jerry is on his way to me right now so we will be at Lands End by 1pm. I am guessing Launceston around 11 am and with Wasbo around 12. If you want to join us then you will need to be on the A38/A30 in a layby and look for a blue Blob STI with a blue Hawk WRX. If we see any in a layby we will slow down a bit so you can catch up, please drive past us initially so we can acknowledge you then we will take the lead again. We do intend to have a relaxed day with no racing and will stop for coffee occasionally with lunch down at the far end, probably somewhere near St Just. If you are joining us please make sure you have enough fuel as we do not intend to stop for fuel - a full tank would be advantageous. Have a great New Year everyone Terry

Ok I have sent you my phone number, if you send me yours we can let you know when we leave here and maybe an update part way down. Is the coffee just off the second roundabout in the Starbucks then?

Ok Rich, no probs mate

Was gonna use the A38/A30. Down past Plymouth, Launceston, Bodmin, Penzance.

Cap'n Jerry and I have decided to be vaguely ridiculous tomorrow (29th) and go to Lands End - just because we can. He is meeting me at my place in Paignton at 10 AM. If you want to join us then please pm me and I will send you my mobile number.

I will get on to this tomorrow - any ideas yet? Or shall I just make the decision?
