looking good, enjoying looking at the details that you've both changed Derek, how come you've not got the STi badge on the front grill? ps You've missed the plates on the first 3 photos.

just to add there was no VPower Glasgow Pollokshaws Road or Anniesland Cross today petrol tanker rolled up when we were in the forecourt and I asked the driver if he was carrying VPower. Said he wasn't and that he was surprised there was none at the pumps... Knew there was a shortage last week coming up from Manchester but it was meant to be sorted by this weekend

that looks can't believe how diddy the backbox is tho. another vote for C&C here, they did the exhaust on the RA and showed the same care and attention as what you described.

crikey that must have scared you glad there's no damage to your property or the cars, hope you get it sorted soon

Colin, no worries i'm needing new blades, the halfords ones I've had for the past year and a bit need replacing, they smear and judder when using them above 50 mph to explain the S&S thing, I've got a voucher for them and thought I might as well use it. obviously I know I can get them elsewhere

a bump for this old thread to ask if you guys put RainX "inside" the washer bottle or just applied it on the surface of the windscreen? Dunk, where did you buy your Bosch ones from? I called S&S and they dont have the Bosch aero twin blades for a MY96, its only the standard Subaru single-blade ones...

sorry, I've just tied the vote... the red looks nice on the Bus-mobile agree with Kev that the red needs to match the stripe and duh about keeping white wheels clean....... its taken you 'this' long to realise it?!!

eek Ciaran wasn't expecting to read that when I clicked on your thread Hope you're not too shaken up and fingers crossed your luck picks up.

anyone got new pics after the winter hibernation?

Marky, just spotted this. the caliper work was done at the same time as brake pads and other stuff and I can't remember the price for the calipers alone. best if you call Duncan and ask him, Imy

ha! you're a funny guy Andy. love the end result but waaay too much effort for me

yay shiny shiny smooth smooth heartfelt thanks to Colin for offering this detail as a raffle prize. Easy dialogue, knowledgeable fella and I felt totally comfortable handing over the keys to someone I don't know the RA has never been clayed in my 4 years of ownership and 'now' I get why people spend so much time waxing and detailing their car. the pics don't show how great she looks in the flesh and I never thought that she would give off such a shine. she wasn't that shabby to begin with, paint was dull but not bad, but definately looks newer and perkier now. must say sorry to Grant for leaving him sitting by himself at Lanark Loch waiting for his dinner, I just had to go out and take pics of the shiny car in the last hours of daylight I was cringing when overtaking the gritter on the 74 on the way home, the sound of spraying grit against the bodywork was painful

Marky, I had my 4 pots refurbed via Godspeed. Car was in Hypertech for new brake pads and Duncan noticed the calipers had seized. He exchanged mine for a reconditioned set that Godspeed had. Price and timescale were fine, the only unknown was what colour of caliper you get back. My black ones were sent away and I got silver in return. I quite liked the look of them with my gold alloys

Little monkey indeed

winter evening, pics taken by dale

thinking out loud... its just before the weekend, fewer family commitments and there are usually no football matches on?! but its a valid question and I'm not sure myself

I'd go with this option Del btw, wouldnt the new exhaust make the car sound better?

with Gus now offering to be the new Edn and Lothians RO that means all Scottish regions have a scapegoat erm representation look out, there's a new crowd of 'purple' people about... STI Pretender for Glasgow/Strathclyde Rallye 6 and Tommytcut for Central Gus the Bus for Edinburgh/Lothians Irish Al for Fife BalliSTic for Tayside BadBaz for Lanark Cruz for Galashiels/Scottish Borders ScoUK for Moray and Elgin and FastOne for Aberdeenshire this summer's going to be fun

I was just thinking about you the other day (ooer nothing dodgy, the pics you posted up of how the car looked after paint stripper incident just came into my head) and wondered how the repairs are getting on. hope they do a good job.

am wondering if you'll actually turn up for any meets! well done for taking the initiative and volunteering to be the RO. will be nice to see you around this year, you've missed way too many events recently btw if you're free the 2nd weekend in May then you need to come down to Prodrive with us

glad you've got it sorted. The RA's getting you back for you leaving it to get the defi gauges and pod for the GB

a hawaiin shirts theme would be cool my god, will mean that both our clothes and our cars will be loud

perhaps Del can flex his Moderator muscles and tidy up the Accommodation thread...
