What can i say?.. i'm so overwelmed by the replies, i know it's not the normal kind of topic to post up...and thought it may not be the place, but this is the only place i know where you get help and understanding. my dad knew how i felt about my old scoobie, and it's strange in the same week i nearly bought Tims (pembswrx) black scoob, it fell through almost by accident..!!! i'm so glad i never spent the money, no-one was prepared for this and it's one thing my dad never spoke about,... he shall have the send off he deserves. thanks again for all the support, you lot are my invisable best friends!!! cheers,mark

I just wanted to share the what i felt for my dad George Kilburn,... My dad passed away Sunday 26th at around 3pm, age 77.... total shock,. he had been ill for some months with bad breathing, got worse and lost 2 stone in weight,.. in August he went in to Colchester general, for a blood clot, pneumonia, partial collapsed lung and COPD. 2 weeks of treatment he slowly got better and got some colour back. All the scans came back clear as did the blood test, when he got home he collapsed due to a sudden fall in blood pressure ...another night in hospital!..anyway as days go by he started putting the weight back on and getting on fine, he's breathing was really making him struggle though, couldn't walk to front door even, so we go the oxygen tanks and nebuliser to keep him going, he even bought a scooter so he could go out with my mum,....all the time he would ask if everyone else is ok, thought the world of our dog which he helped us get in may from a rescue centre. he still used to phone me after man utd had played, making sure we are all ok and don't need anything. Everyone of us thought he could get sorted and have a decent life with the help of drugs and breathing aides,... my dad was a very bright and brainey man, he walked 3 mile a day with the dogs which he adored, he spent in his early days sailing around the world visiting every port you could imagine, these were his days in the Merchant navy. he married his first wife and had 2 children, Marilyn and Kevin, he started work at Tilbury power station, he then divorced and re-married to my mum, i am there only child together, (my mum had 4 of her own from previous). He retired and we moved to Point clear bay, near clacton on sea in 1988. My dad was very uniform in what he done, very carful with money, nothing out of place and everything was there when you need it. My dad was my hero, my guiding star. He returned to colchester general on Monday 20th, very unwell, he's home breathing aides were not enough this time. The man i see wasn't my dad, struggleing so badly to keep going, he could speak and see you but conversation was minimal, He wasn't impressed that man utd only drew with everton on wednesday!!.. We never thought it would end the way it did, on the friday we got called back to hospital as he wasn't too good, this was late evening, I came up with Julie, my fiancee. My sister Marilyn was there with her 2 daughters and partner, my mum and brother were there too. We were all told that he may not see the night through. We sat by his bedside all night, i went home to take my fiancee back home and we both got some sleep,..after a day of driving back and forth and dad telling us to do the clocks in the morning!!. we went home for the night. Sunday morning my dad phoned from his mobile to my mum and she just made out he said that he wants my mum there, the nurse then phoned back to say we better go up.. i was at work and shot up there. about 11:30am we sat with him holding he's hand while trying to keep him going. The nurse said there is nothing they can do now. At the same time my brother Kevin had flown over from Canada on a quick flight, he ws arriving at heathrow,... i phoned my sister to tell her to come up....they were 20 mins from airport... it was so tense that we all were together.. i don't know how they did it but they made it to colchester. My brother who had just flown across the atlantic to see his dad knowing he may not see him alive again. My dad was hanging on, crying with every breath he took, he's eyes shut........Then my brother and sister walked throught the door,... holding our dads hand he said hello dad i made it ..it's kevin.... hello kev my dad replied with one eye open..............30 mins later my dad passed away. Our world had ended,.. dad had gone and left us to thank him for the wonderful life he had given us all. My dad was only told on the friday he had cancer, he also had an ulcer which was bleeding, and double pneumonia. My dad survived TB whilst on the ships in the fifties. The cancer was blamed on working at Tilbury power station for 30 years. We knew nothing of the cancer untill the friday before....... that quick. take care of yourselves,.. don't take cancer and the risks for granted. R.I.P Dad. mark

my old uk wagon did say su on the cap.... it ran better 0n 95ron than super,....once i done a few mods and cranked it up to over 300bhp....nothing less than v power i'm afraid... hence why i had to get rid back in may.... no spare cash for petrol... had it 4 years and never thought that day would come... i'm looking at every angle now to get one back and push my tddi focus off the drive ..oh s****e what was the question

EUROSTI.... 'stu' has done a few i'd say.....no doubt he'll spot this thread and comment wisely

yeh i really didn't see the full potential with her did i !!? quite gutted..but i knew there was something missing.. glad she's doing ok did you bring any spares over stu .. just incase i buy a pup... welcome home anyway stu mark

I had to do it....didn't want to but had no choice,.....off she went to germany after spending thousands and owning her for 4 years. thought nothing of it when went down the road for good. i bought a tddi focus estate... lowered it, put 18's on it and hate it.... i want a scooby back on drive... i'm saving up.. but it's too dear to use for work....i'm pulling me fekin hair out just thought i'd share that as i'm losing it slowly.. mark oh STU how is the ol girl doing over there?

i suppose the set up is hard.. the harder it is the more prone you for getting bush trouble, is it a hks system?.... someone will know,... nice little set up though mate, worth a few quid... check your arb links, recon they are stressed a bit, best check arb's and links while on ramps. and check the lower wishbone ball joint while your at it, need a nail bar or similar to check for play. describe on what kind of road and if when you steer , or the opposite wheel goes down a bump and it sounds the other side kind of thing.... i take it the top mount shown is tight?... mark

just been over to ffoc and actualy not sure if it's mentioned here or not but essex police are on a purge with various club meets ect..... this is a statment from them.... New measures are being introduced which will strongly impact those who enjoy ‘cruising’ in their leisure time, particularly in Basildon, Thurrock and Canvey Island. Essex police are introducing dispersal orders which will restrict the freedom of cruisers, including both drivers and spectators, often forcing them to leave the area if their behaviour is deemed as anti-social. Uniformed officers who suspect people of intimidating or harassing others in specific locations notorious for such behaviour will be able to force people to leave immediately and not return within 24 hours; with anyone contravening the order, liable for arrest Road Policing Inspector * * * * Thomas said: “These powers under the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003 are being used to disperse groups in the short-term, but we are looking at more, longer-lasting solutions to combat these nuisance drivers.” A section of the A127 in Basildon and several roads in the town, including Cranes Farm Road, Eastmayne and Uppermayne will be subjected to the 20-week orders. In addition, the Mayflower and Heron retail parks are places where cruisers are advised to avoid. In Pitsea, various roads surrounding Tesco on Hazlemere will also be covered under the dispersal order. In Thurrock, the A126 that runs alongside Lakeside Shopping Centre, along with various other roads, including Oliver Road and Weston Avenue, are also included in the order. On Canvey Island, a section of the A130 and roads surrounding Morrisons will also be ‘no-go’ areas for motorists who plan to cause a nuisance. The orders come into place this weekend (Saturday, June 2 and are valid until Saturday, November 15. Cruisers are strongly urged to consider this and avoid the areas whenever possible just thought it would help you boys with your meets...especialy the posers cruise!!!!!!! mark
