  1. :rotfl: hang on i didnt think of that
  2. what is it with driving in russia? My link enjoy. and makes you think about its only thru luck , maybe skill at time that we survive each trip...........
  3. thanks folks. and think ive pulled it off as mrs seen the funny side.
  4. errrr no paul she does not ahem cough cough. and i know all the tricks to cover marks :rotfl:
  5. as its our 7 year anniversary the day. i was thinking if she was a car would i have traded her in by now as i do with my cars. well to be fai i dont see me doing that with the present scoob but the mrs........ wel..... her chassis not bad for her age tho interior is a bit worn, ( if you know what i mean?) fuel economy has gotten better since she started a diet but in all think i will stick with her as she moves real well where it counts. also according to her dad the warrinty is well out now and no returns now. hopefully with some tlc shes good for a few more years yet
  6. dont know the reg as the plates were off the car dave. maybe give the boy a call to see what it was and contact brian. thing is with it the engine has not run for 18 mths since car was written off and it been lying outside all this time. tho the bonnet is still on and engine seemed dry
  7. might try sky too dave. and only got 4 yrs ncd paul. but it fairness i think the adrian flux one for 500 with all mods declared and everything will take some beating
  8. maybe got chance of a 380 brake engine that was apperently owned and tweeked by downie. has anyone ever come across one before and what like?
  9. got a quote from... ahem.... subaru owners club ( sorry but thought would try them ) and got a quote for 500 with a lower excess and monthly payments. still waiting for gary to call back but maybe offices shut now so will try the morn when i get home from work
  10. think the issue is when the cars are well modded. a lot of companys wont look at mine for what been done. or can get for £ 9908 dont fekkin think so. where the likes of hyper performance and the like of keith michels deal with those sort of motor so probably standard companys would be better
  11. cheers will give them a bell. seem if i put my volentry exces to zero then total ecess is 650 but premium goes up by a hundred quid . put it up to 500 volentry and total exess is 950 but quote is cheaper . dont get that like. tis worth sometimes calling a few direct and make them bid against each other sometimes gordon. will try a few. heard sky ins is supposed to be good too
  12. just got renewal in and nearly double what i was last year. what the so got hold of alexander orlof and he redirected me to performance direct who have quoted me £550 fully comp and that with me also adding on the recent mods too just happened to scroll down the page and there were only 8 companys that would quote and the very last one 'insure 2 drive ' ( i dont fekkin think so after the quote!!!!) quoted £9908!!!!! who looks at that and thinks ' oooo thats a great price and i will pay that ' ehhh?????????? anybody recomend trying elsewhere before i commot. as renewal is 12 june. tho think it would be hard to beat that like.
  13. cheers lewis . btw, cant beat some rover velourrrrrr seating . might do that. and thats what ive been thinking dave. wont know untill i go up to see it of excatly what it is. but if no paper work to prove anything then will steer clear. might just save my pennis and get a ecu and remap for the ra now then later buy and engine to throw everything straight over. unless this other car has all the bits to swap.
  14. aye rich. you and your big flash black motor. who do you think you are?....... gangsta? :rotfl: aye dave been a bit panicky after sandy termination so yes am away to look at a my99 with 380 brake. been written off as been rumbled all down the drivers side. will go and see how much the boys talking first. tho and am thinking of just getting a apexi and get mine running where i want it then get a engine to transplant everything over to the fresh engine. as for lewis....... rover................... nuff said
  15. nothing that a 22mm socket and some locktite cant sort tho
  16. cheers paul. its as close as i want to get like lol
  17. got a hell of a scare the day. drove i nto aberdeen in my usaul rally style, and when car was ticking over on timer there was a hell of a rattle'knocking from under the bonnet. big ends??/ popped the bonnet and the crank pulley is wobbling all over the place. engine stops by now and when i put my hand on it the crank bolt was almost off!!!!!! went a bit weak at the knees at the thought of what the end result would have been if bolt had come out when i was nipping on. tightened it back up and seems ok just not sure why it worked loose tho
  18. with this gear box................. its not that bad i suppose. it has a hell of a top end now just dont like having to keep her in boost lol
  19. what the ?
  20. 215 miles in 5hrs 33mins? ......... challenge accepted
  21. knowing dave there is probably a pic with the top of my head missing somewhere
  22. cheers rich. nice to meet you the day and put a face to a name lol. thats some beast you have there now, awsome looking motor. and looked even better when i passed you in buckie town.
  23. never mind bry. both me and dave spat at the ' i want to see the evos ' bit. you will hopefully get to the broch and the rrallye day this time
  24. he will be at buckie the day dave. will ask him.
  25. :rotfl: nice one matty no gordon. no steam just de3 greaser and two bottles of some other stuff. works wonders any way. and like i said £15 its well worth it
