  1. As stated at this moment in time i really dont have the free time I`d like to allocate to the club and as such it would be in the best interests of the club for me to step down and make way for someone with free time. Which is what I have done. Lets just hope that this situation does not recurr in future due to further lack of communication. All the best jon, if you need any pointers you know how to contact me. Pete
  2. John, your absolutely correct, its not your place to say.and there is no meed for me to justify myself to you. However as you feel the need to make an issue of it on a public forum, lets cover the bases. I think if you were to remove your head from your buttox for long enough to do your research prior to opening the hole in your face and spewing crud, you`d find that there is more to being an RO than trying to arrange one or two runs. Do your homework my friend. There are a number of events in the history of the Scottish scooby scene which I can proudly say would never have happened if it weren`t for myself and a select few others (i.e. Dougster, Mako, JohnS and a few who are no longer in the club). Granted these events have been spread over the last eight years or so and in surges. What i can tell you though is that anyone who attended any of the events, be they last year or eight years ago they will all remember them, They are not flash in the pan a run here / a meet there. Recently and being specific over the last 11 months I have not had as much time as I would have liked to allocate to the club Any time I have posted up events i.e marshalling / trackdays / annual scottish meets the response rate quite frankly has been less than impressive. There are still a hardcore of "the original members" who are even still in regular contact with myself and still enjoying the events which are being arranged. However when multiple posts are sent requesting contact details and the information is not forthcomming or when I call people and they dont return the call, then my hands are pretty much tied. My details have been available for all to see / contact from day one. Hence why I am dissapointed to read the above. Perhaps the concept of discussion being a two way process has been lost. If there was unrest brewing and I was aware of it, This post would never have occured.. As for the statement "The whole tayside/angus scooby scene has went to the gutter, i know there a few of us wanting a bit more out of our club than wot you were putting in" that should have been preceeded with an IMHO. As stated " My details have been available for all to see / contact from day one" Yet not once have I had a call from a disgruntled member I`m sure the right thing for the club will be done in the end [] Re the "Sorry if i have offended " no offence taken, what I would suggest though is that more thought is given to posts before you type them, as someone else might have taken umbridge to the post if they didnt know you were harmless. Pete
  3. WTF is goin on here ? Maybe somebody could lemme know eh?
  4. Dawgone, don`t think i`ll make that 1 with it being a friday (work weird shifts on Frdays dependant on shift). Pity cause as i knew would happen after last weekend. Once you been back ontrack you jus want to keep at it [] Hope every1 has a belter of a day. Pete
  5. Brilliant photo there Poah, big thanks buddy. (pity i didn`t have time to wash the car though) the only down side of a good photo is just that eh, it shows all sins [:$] Pete
  6. Yoshi, If u got a vid of my spin at the chicane (red classic wrx with induction vent & black wheels) any chance of emailing it 2 me bud ? Cheers [] Did anyone else get pix of the old girl (reg ending wrx) ? Pete
  7. Yeah Ian.......... obviously [] I`ve got a couple of pit straight photos on my camera but the usb port is blaying up, so havin bother getting them out of it ( I`ll post em as soon as the wee rascals come out, be warned though they`re no where near as good as some of the top pix that ave been posted up2 now. Pete
  8. Callum, U did the right thing m8 by not risking it. Would be a disaster to see all u r effort wasted. No worries we can wait and see it when it`s ready 2 rock [] Good luck with it m8 Pete
  9. Some brilliant pix there folks [] Even a few of mine (red 1 with the black wheels) what a brilliant day it was. Glad i picked this 1 for my first trackday back in a whilst. Good 2 c all the old faces and a few new ones. BTW i forgot 2 ask "who`s is the blue one" ? LOL Pete
  10. Good vids there colin [] You musta been about 1/2 a lap out from me in the last one (when the withe evo broke down) I was in the red scoob with the black wheels (the one that spun at the chicane) [:$] Usual brain fade [] Pete
  11. Like Gmac said, If you want to take your car out these are the days to do it. Gotta admit I did spin off at the top of the chicane after overtaking that Lexus however it didn`t delay the proceedings at all. Spin (well clear of anyone) marshal put the yellow flag up, I quickly drove off track, waited for a gap in traffic, then back on, marshal lowered the yellow. No probs caused and minimum delays. Luckily no one was down there with a camera 2 catch it [:$] BTW great pix Poah. Pete
  12. Yeah, A belter of a day. The usual top day we`ve come to expect when John organises it. Was my first time out in about 18months an what a difference with the track surface (well done Knockhill) Pity that evo packed up at the end, I`d just nipped out 2 get a last few laps in (ah well jus need 2 add them on next time) [] Pete
  13. Chazz, Gimme a shout if u see me in the pit lane, (big red. the grand daddy of scoobs) and still PDQ. An we`ll fix the kid up with a lap on his birthday [] Pete

  16. Callum, A wee bit different from the time wee did a bit of surgery on it in my drive a few years ago eh [] Sounds like it should be a bit of a handfull m8. Nice [H] You said you were gonna do it and I never doubted you, lookin 4ward to seein it on Sat bud. I recon it`d be awsome on "our mappin circuit" [] C u sataurday fella, I`ll ave the old graddaddy (BigRed2) with me Pete

  18. Dry weather @ knockhill phew []Not a real big fan of dry weather on track as the wear n tear on brakes tyres etc is massively increased but hey warm is good, or is that askin 2 much? A wee spot of rain wouldn`t go a miss IMHO for a couple of full on screamin demon laps ;o) BTW John did u get my text m8? Pete
  19. Hey Callum, HTF r u doin bud long time no c hear or speak2 [] Wots the word with u fella ?

[] Drop me a mail or bell me with an update guy [] BR wont be running full on m8 as I broke and burned out a few things during testing [:$] but hey WTF eh thats development for u [] Dipsy, no times as of yet bud. Normally finalised a day or 2 before the event so any stragglers can get a post in. Are u on track or spectating ? Pete
  20. Cheers 4 the offer Ian, but as u know I have a little something extra mixed in for good measure [] Are there really that few folks going to KH from this end ?? If so things ave changed a lot in my short absence [] Or is eveyone holding out till the last minute?

  22. We had a big club one of these events think it was 2 years back, the venue was the one outside glasgow. An it was a brilliant day. Tryin 2 drive after all the running about like a nut n stuff, was a good larf ) Go for it folks its an experience if u haven`t done it before. Good luck in gettin this together bandit. Pete
  23. Davie, the early classics were renound for bad earths. The earthing kits available vary quite a bit. The better ones include an earth direct between the block and the ecu. The basics of the kit are to maintain a constant earth over all electrical components which in turn can improve there lifespan and performance by ensuring everything is at the same potential voltage. Hope that clears it up 4 u a bit ;o) Pete
  24. LOL @ Daz Teething probs m8, an the cost of research Hopefully yeah big red will be there for a wee stint of "avin it" if i can muster enough fuel cans Pete
  25. Hey Ian, yeah Daz told me u guys were bringin the mota ;o) I`m lookin forward 2 seeing it at long last. Doug, cheers buddy s been 2 long m8. I`ll bell u soon 4 a gas m8. L8r guys. Pete
