THATS what rallying is about. Makes me want to go rallying Supurb! I'm trying to find another vid, there we go! Warning: NSFW; Language Don't get in the way of a Rally Driver on a Live Stage.

Ty. At the moment, its looking like 4 attendees. 1 or two more, and I think we'll be looking at organizing a location

Just been linked to this on the ol' tweeterus thing, thought it appropriate. Also, back to the main thread

.... But I thought it was more threads we needed....

Congrats to you both, and see you on my maiden meet ;D

Oh aye! I know that, but the doolies in the wagons down here don't know that! I do like the stealth look tbh, but theres something still feels wrong driving a scoob without that scoop

Geez, Bigfelly, you want to give me your password or something so I can proof-read your posts before/once you've posted? Ty for the story dude, mirrors my exact experience at a first meet too. Turned up, EARLY of all things, in the smallest engined car there. 2.5 years later, I was hosting my own meets in a completely different area, like the RO of that locale. Had so many numbers on my phone from it! But it all starts with being a little bit brave, confidant and easily distra-ooh, is that a Garrett Turbo? Yeah... That was my secret lol.

As per usual. Its worse down here, most scoobs aren't driven by the enthusiast types, (on top of that, I don't have a bonnet scoop, one of the reasons I was considering changing the bonnet) so you flash or wave, or show off your SIDC tat... and get nothing more than an insulted glance back.

Nail. meet Head.

I actually aired my concerns about social awkwardness and touching nerves when I first joined in December, namely to Matty and Chris. Their opinion was to get stuck in, so I did, and now I miss some of the humour, but the more I read, the more I join the dots... Its a case of theres a lot of 'old timers' ('old' as in the internet form, not real life, its substantially shorter), who yes, have their private jokes, but there's nothing stopping anyone joining thats 'clique'. Its a forum-wide group, just you need to listen before speaking and try not to feel alienated by that. "Two ears and one mouth," so goes the saying, "so you should listen twice as much as you talk."

Does the whole 'disconnect the battery for 15 mins' trick work on these? A system reset could do some good sometimes if it does....

Lol. I've been posting threads about it. Had at most 2 replies I think? There doesn't seem to be many people down this way. But this isn't really 'subby territory.' Still, there might be more around now we've started getting regular snow down this way.

Personally, I don't know what you're all complaining about! At least you lads up there HAVE a community! Down here, its like a millpond for adult conversation and banter around scoobs. Its all chavved classics and backward caps down here! Unless there's a community I've missed. Be grateful you have a community to be protective/envious/whatever over, cos it could be a lot worse!

You wondering now why I was so slow to post when I first joined? As far as convo's getting heated is concerned, sometimes that's a good thing! Controversy breeds conversation, and conversations, as long as everybody keeps their head, keeps the community alive! As far as the 'spamming' went, I had no problem with it. I had seen worse on other car forums, and it was turned a blind eye to as far as mods were concerned. TBH, I could repost everything I find on Jalopnik, all relevant stuff, and mostly funny. But I'd probably get the same response (if not harsher) than you've been getting, Chris. Principally because on the larger scheme of things, I am unknown to 'most' users, other than the odd reply and thread where I felt qualified to do so, and to suddenly start 'spamming' would likely be looked on dimly. The other part of it lies in that I'm from Kent. Most of the users on here (pardon the hyperbole) have likely never seen Kent, other than maybe the White cliffs of Dover on postcards. I wouldn't be surprised if I got stick for that.

I +1 this statement!

Gotta be said: "Stop. Hammer Time." Also "I didn't know the Italians liked to get hammered." Or "I always thought Maserati's were rather smashing!"

^^^ +2 Breath for fresh air right there. The news is becoming a hype fest, like they're trying to keep up with Eastenders for views or something. Hence why I stick to online news reading. Most of the time, you can get the news you care about quicker and easier than on the ol' box.

I now share my birthday with a Royal.... Good.

Could probably extend the South East interest list to Sussex, we'd just have to move the eventual meet to somewhere like Tonbridge, or similar. Have a nosey at this thread, no organisation yet, but I'm hoping to get something going soon down our way. Can't let the Scot's have all the fun!

Fantastis read Tim. Thank you very much for putting meat on the bones of the 'Fully synthetic is better' opinion. It'll make for interesting pub talk, thats for sure

Thankfully, Subaru's don't tend to be a car that people move on from very quickly, so getting an interest list is definitely worth it, when we get, say 5 definitely interested, I'll start looking at appropriate places to go.

A thought has just entered my head; How many people, if/when they get their WRX's, will go straight to Halfrauds, buy some luminous pink paint and take to the calipers and badges

Still has that certain something that makes it Subaru, doesn't it? And not the bonnet scoop -_- Aggresive, but not overstated. Without wantint to use the M word, you have to wonder what they have up their sleeve to compete...

There's a lot of scoobies there! Nice one Don, looking epic even in tiny form On another subject. That small plate on the Hawk.... NOTATALLTEMPTED
