G.Mac

Ok, granted I have not logged in over the last couple of years but how do I get my proper username back?

Always been G.Mac even got the SIDC jacket to prove it haha

Graeme

I cant have my old username because of the . dont like the whole G_Mac thing boooooooo

plus the whole neo Nazi forum locking thing annoyed me, you were supposed to be encouraging members not driving them away

Its not a sign of the times on here unfortunately.

All the in fighting and scandal caused a lot of problems, the forum is no longer the same friendly place it used to be. It is far harder to have a laugh and a joke without being chastised (Winston for example) as we are now apparently all PC and the latest lock down of the forum was a joke.

Self destruction by way of the management uinfortunately.

I dont often post anymore but in this case I feel the need to voice my opinion

and relax

and yes I wont be renewing

AP 356 discs and AS performance Bells with AP 6 pots

Load of Whiteline stuff

amongst others

Will keep you updated in the for sale section once the parts start coming off the car

These power figures are at the wheels

Decided on getting something a little more grown up that is pretty quick out the wrapper so have my heart set on a C6 RS6 Avant

Graeme

not used them yet, but was thinking about getting my 10R done in screaming orange

Graeme

Aye, I had a misunderstanding with S&S years ago re what was happening with warranty work due to lack of communication. Managed to get a sit down with John, quite easily I may add and everything was sorted extremely quickly and all shortcomings on both sides were addressed and put right.

Always had a good relationship with Lorna and she will always do her utmost to help.

If I am ever in the situation to be buying a new Subaru (most probably diesel Fozzy) I will be using S&S again

Best Subaru garage I have dealt with so far

Graeme

Yea will be there as a spectator. I will have the boat UP TO greenock by Friday for sure

Just had some bad news, my engine wont be ready for the weekend. Therefor there is a space up for grabs.

I have msgd John so I presume he shall get in contact with the first person on the reserve list

Graeme

Of course it is, and it's free too!

wow, looking like it might be an impreza record turnout for recent years - good to see!

now Il pay good money to watch Graeme pushing his car round the track

You have it wrong Dave, you will be the one pushing and I will be sitting in the drivers seat going broom broom:-P

Might be an 8th Scooby on the horizon once he checks his dates

Man of many words ^^ Oh well thats at least 7 Scoobys then

I need to find my member number

edit

sod it just booked non member, and car doesnt even have an engine in it yet!!!!!!!

EP3

Aye off to see Iron Man 3 the night too, looking forward to it

Graeme

its probably the sensor, mine decomposed just outside of warranty. Subaru wanted over £200 for a new one hence it being fitted with a blank now

Ahh going by those yellow mudflaps it is!

Take it that will be Dels old one then Billy?

Had Kleber Quadraxers on the old van and decided just to leave them on all year round (we don't really get a summer), still gripped great in the dry and were night and day in the wet

Have the Nokian WRG2's on the van and canny wait for the snow!!!

Scoob parked up for the winter

Graeme

They cut Last resort? ahh ffs was enjoying that. They seem to be chopping all the decent shows

Hey Dave, I hope the runs aren't too much longer than the 150 mile mark, since I got the scoob back I haven't managed to get over 175 to a tank driving like miss daisy!!!!

When you going for a cage and which one do you think you will go with?

Been tempted to go down the cage route myself but still enjoy my creature comforts (well apart from the AC)
