  1. "has anyone gone off scoobies and now drive ford focus coz of fuel prices" ................................................................................ ...YES!!...... having my focus delivered thursday, but not coz i've gone off scoobs no no.. i have my reasons, but i shall be back in a scoob again, no problem with that....
  2. hi stu!.... does that mean it's going over 5500 rpm wish him good luck, hope he enjoys it, i miss that menacing presence on the drive :|, we went out and bought the replacement car today,....... after an intresting drive in the rain on the A14 in to suffolk..... at a steady 55mph... i got hold of a 2000 focus estate tddi with 1 previous owner mint condition, for £1695,.... and he's delivering ... to think it'll do at least 3 times the miles to the gallon than the scoob
  3. well i traded in me 311bhp scoob for a white combo van....... from the lights theres nothing can stay up my a***.................. ......because of the thick black smoke bellowing from the rear ..they daren't get to close..
  4. TSL group N made by TSL, named the "group N" i'll find a link to it. click here and it's gone up to £199..... £175 when i got mine
  5. cheers stu, andy....got a lump in me throat and yep never in a million years thought it'd go to germany!!....i really hope he enjoys it mate, drive it like it should be driven and not be just a garden ornament or another car in the long line of irratable drivers following tractors on way to work!!...and to think i could go without one is obscene, i'm already getting me brain ticking on how to get back within next couple of years, the thing i'll miss most is the reaction when you drive through, you hear kids shout "scooby"!.. you can be 100yrds away and someone will turn their head. i can't bare to think i won't get that again. ... i'll always give my bit of experiance yes, if i don't know i keep quite cheers boys.
  6. sold me wagon today, never thought i could do it, these things must be done. can't get another for a while.... but i will one day and probably newer i think. so here we are.. scoobyless and driving a crappy old combo van untill i get somthing more comfortable like a wheel barrow not going anywhere though, can't stay away from here so sorry .... more verbal nonsence and meaningless information still coming this way avator soon changing
  7. imho the TSL group N box for less that £200 delivered is great value, i have one on me wagon....sorry had one .. sounds nice , not overly loud and 4" so it don't look like a dustbin stuck to the underside and sound like a fart in a bake bean tin.
  8. hi mate welcome to the club, yep wagons ..saloons.. in classic form have the same fitment,
  9. hi mate welcome to the club,... i used to use me scoob for work but even the 200 mile a week was too much for the wallet, lucky if i get 180 miles to a tank, i average 19 mpg on a 311bhp uk classic b roads and town/urban driving... it was cheaper for me to buy a old combo van for work and leave scoob collecting dust on driveway .. take the advise all above matey ... can't add anymore!!.. good luck btw... i'm 35 FNC TPFT all mods declared... paying £360 a year..
  10. i'd have to have a look at mine tomorrow, i got a my96 uk wagon and i'm sure it's the same, i used to have mud flaps fitted and they rubbed on the wheels on full lock... and mines straight, had many sets of shocks / springs fitted in last few years and done all my arb's last year no probs..so it can't be too far out !!! mark have a look at the garage section of mine ... and others to see if you get an idea
  11. bl00dy hell sam!!.. happy birthday ol girl. ....er could you just mention to dan that my birthday is 24th may.... i'll pass on my address
  12. HAGGLE!!!!.... where abouts are you then matey?.. was selling my uk wagon a while back.. still thinking it's gotta to go....a few mods too a lot of us use keith michaels for insurance, (gary moulson) good luck with the hunting, and don't be afraid to ask anything.. we shall help you in any which we can.. mark
  13. holy cow!!! totaly fearless ...great driving, showing absolute trust in the car, .. and i'd have another mk2 anyday... was my second car ...dark blue 2 door, lowered 2", rally exhaust, 1750cc race engine, RS alloys........and no pictures nice one kip
  14. Round ones ..... sorry !! i like my old magnesium superleggeras, got those for £750 with tyres through a mate, soooo light theres a group buy on for some alloys at the mo ...but i didn't look at thread ..you'll see it prodrive type look nice on bugs
  15. Today thursday 10th April...... i was stansted bound but... going toward colchester about midday i think .. a silver classic wagon and driver looked then about 5:15 pm turning off southern way in harlow a nice clean red classic with mid level spoiler. mark
  16. is that a new one kim? .... mind you i can't remember anyway :S
  17. yeh nice figures mike, good torque too ...better than mine and i got 311bhp :| mark
  18. welcome matey, go to wanted section and you'll see the same link you used here ...then type away
  19. yep v-power for me too ...trouble is when the shut my nearest one 4 mile away... i had to use a gallon and half to get topped up!!.... i'd drive past the esso and tescos to get to the shell garage .. once a week now though at 19 mpg i wouldn't ever use anything thing less matey, 95 ron and those cheaper supermarket fuels are trouble,
  20. well thats supprised me!.. even though i enjoy the drive to p'borough it's handy being a bit closer. but as mentioned..not very central and not as straight forward to get on and off the island... and driving through colchesters tight roads en-route, the date is a pain as thats our busiest time of the year anyway being as it really depends on the tide in which time you'll get on or off....here are the times of the high tides aprox: thu-10am and 10:30pm fri-11am and 11:20pm sat-11:40am and 00:10am (sun) sun-12:30pm and 00:50am (mon) from the friday night tide onwards these are the higher ones to avoid ... and depending on the wind speed and direction they could be worse or ..not. fekin annorac! ... will be different and intresting, hope to see you all there....after i do some groveling for a day off
  21. sounded nice, distingtive number plate, some jap writing on rear and a SIDC sticker in rear window. we didn't speak..... i just lurk i drove the battered white combo van covered in mud
  22. Stu!!... i had this feeling as soon as i wrote it that it was us who took it back.. appologise to the peeps concerned and i didn't want to take the headlines away from the yanks anyway stu.. did we find any weapons? can't remember .. from 1991 to 2002 i was drunk nick, may be worth having a word with phil about it, might help. get his views on the situ, sounds good that you can do some stickers and that... i can put a nice big one on the side of my combo see what intrest like you say matey on snet Stu.. when you coming back old friend?... want us to save a few tubs of v power for ya incase it goes teets up
  23. bttt yeh read it and fully understood... signed.. we are all in the same boat so best we all unite and hit em were it hurts..... just a thought>> the amount of shows ect.. during the season japfest, jae kind of occasions is there a way we can show the concern and feeling of this amongst the seperate club stands ect.. few flags, banners, car stickers (at a price to a good cause ) all in good taste of course and nothing to interupt the shows, good publicicty...it seems in the past we all shout and rant that we do this and do that but in the end we sit and wait for others....it's not going to happen is it?.. i think if we shout loud enough as a combined group and keep at it... someone may listen.. didn't the fuel prices go up during the first gulf war?..when iraq invaded kuwait and melted the depots and rigs... the only peeps who are not suffering with the prices it seems are the ones who captured kuwait back... cunning.. still at it now aren't they. mark
  24. actualy was last weekend ..... don't ask what i was doing up there..just don't make sense anyway blue classic parked up for sale in scarborough silver classic in withernsea down narrow road in the town, silver wagon in skipsea, and one in filey....ain't got a clue what roads and you won't know me especialy as i was in a tdci focus with a ex-taxi driver at the wheel really pi55ing me off.........
