  6. Cheers guys, pretty sure I'll be at next meet. Iain yes would be good to get an Idea on how much it would cost, would be an end of August ( i.e pay day) job but I want pretty soonish, let me know where you are and when available. As for the filter it was just clear plastic cylinder with the usual filter looking paper inside. Sure it made no difference anyways felt just as good after Mr AA visited than before. And yeah cheers for advice Matty count on my first purchase being a fuel can Andy
  7. Picked her up on Friday. Extremely happy with her drive and performance. Girlfriend and I picked her up from Warwick on Firday. Only ruined by the fact that I didn't know Warwick, my girlfriend ( bless her ) had my wallet and mobile phone and the Sat Nav all in her car. And she doesnt know the meaning of "I'll follow you as I dont know area and you have the SatNav". She went off, I lost her, didnt know where I was by the time I found the M40 Junction I then realised I hadnt checked fuel gauge... Yep it was on Empty. Not having any idea where I was and not having any cash, wallet or phone on me I was starting to panic. After finding a Layby with a credit/ reverse charge phone on it I had to phone my Dad to phone my Girlfriend who at this point was actually in Oxford, with the traffic back to Warwick solid from Botley to Banbury.... Luckily good old AA came out to me and rang the box I was at and despite saying a car would be with me in 1hr 15 I got a 'very nice man' out to me in 10mins. Refuelled paid for over the phone and back to Oxford. Moral of this story - If you buy a car check the fuel - if you sell one have the decency to leave a decent amount of fuel in it!! Sunday we went to Alton Towers. 2hrs there 2hrs 30 back, plenty of fuel used plenty of Enjoyment had. Drove solid and was sweet. Only problem was (Yeah get used to it only things like this happen to me) came off A34 on way back at Peartree and the Turbo went mad then engine died next to Park and Ride. I pulled over in bus lane and tried turning engine over and over and over. Nothing! gave up rang AA. While waiting I lifted bonnet and looked at the 'extra' fuel filter the previous owner had put in the fuel-engine pipe under bonnet. Held in hand and was covered in fuel it had split and was spraying fuel all over engine bay and bonnet, behind car was a trail of fuel. I lost about 1/4 of a tank. Grr AA turned up replaced pipe, solved. Unsure why previous owner had installed it dunno if it was to impress or what but obviously it wasnt designed to take the presure. Anyway pictures of car. Only a few cosmetic things. Door handles, wing mirrors and Skirts are black so will want these sprayed silver Lights are Lexus ones not important too much tho will be looking at different ones soon Slight scuff scratch on bonnet, again looking for a re-spray on this same time as handles etc. Slight tear in drivers seat cover. Can anyone recommend a good spray place locally that will do bonnet, handles, mirrors and skirts and a good price and good quality And also what recommended about repairs to seat covers is there somewhere that does repairs or will i need to buy a new one and if so where from. laters Andy

  16. Realised it was earlier that September I lost my car to a good kick in reason being below- I wanted let ya know of an awesome competition I won at the end of 2006. Care of Prodrive open day I won first prize on the raffle and won a VIP trip with Subaru WRT. (Mum was sick cos she bought my ticket) So me and my beloved decided to go to the Sardinia Rally 2007 full VIP of Subaru. We had our own driver who was just an awesome guy that drive us everywhere to various events and totally looked after us. We had VIP passes to everywhere in the Subaru tent and surounding areas. ( including the inside of the win and beer fridge) and They payed for everything, even our £200 hotel bar bill. We chilled with the mechanics and Chris Atkinson most of the evenings we were there at an awesome hotel We got to see at least one stage per-day and 2 on one day. Sardinia is an awesome place to see a rally and to spend it with Subaru is an everlasting memory. Our driver ever took us around one of the stages later on after it cleared up!! In our Opel hire car--- it was filthy and how it survived our 15mph sprint ill never know Would blast up a few pics if I knew how to do it. Unsire if i have to load to a websie and link to here or how i make them show in the message. Regards
  17. Helloo Oxfordshire Finally, after saying goodbye to my nicely vandalised WRX Wagon last September, I will be picking up my new R Reg classic turbo this weekend. This isnt a WRX version however and I was wondering If I would notice a huge difference in driving my new one over the WRX and didnt get much drive time with it so at the moment couldnt tell much difference. It has Koni suspension and Blitz exhaust Quicker/Slower - Better Handling/Worse Handling Havn't been on the scene much and also wondered if its still favourable to get Sport Air filters over induction kits. Before I was told induction kits can be a problem with the oil going into the system Sorry for rabbiting on I am kind of excited WhisperUK p.s Does the Oxford Scooby Club have a website?
