V Power for me, seems better power, mpg and smoother than when I tried Tesco 99 and normal UL

Guys I seriously applaud everything you have done but em do we not do this for the kids? I am stunned that you are having the attitude of we are not mentioned in this paper or that. I had tears in my eyes on Sunday and need NOTHING to remember that, a story in any media outlet would not have made it better. Lets remember its for the kids and not for patting our backs or an ego boost.

Remove from car (not just after driving though), take some brake cleaner and spray ......... generally speaking though it will still go fubar. Fragile electronics ..... btw its for measuring the airflow, this helps the ECU decide how to achieve the proper stoich. Generally they hunt like a pig or guzzle fuel like a big guzzling thing if they go fubar. Andy was close its not that it injects too much fuel, the exact opposite, not enough runs lean and bingo NO 4 cyl goes byebye. Best way to check if yours is faulty is if your a classic owner do an ECU check with the plugs under dash, Reset it as well and see if it runs like a pig afterwards. Newage then its a select monitor check i'm afraid. Im a mere BMW tech so dont know these tractors too well

So this really sticks to the road like glue huh. They should try Suberugly as the next advertising campaign........Geez its even ugly when smashed up.

Well done guys

OH btw I think a special mention should go to Dale and my Rose. Dale for travelling the distance from Aberdeen to take part and Rose for putting up with me, doing so much for making this happen and for just being her. Scott

What can I say but thanks to all the members that helped out on collecting the money and helping make this a success. We raised a lower total than previous years at around £700 or so but with money that is still to come this would have been nearer the £1000 mark, a good start for next year? After Steve found out that he couldnt fit himself into the suit, no matter how hard he tried, we (!!!!!!) decided that I should give it a whirl. As some of ya know Im not known for a sunny disposition so I was a bit worried about being a Santa. Something happens when you put on that suit, you enjoy wearing it and you enjoy the smiles you give the people. I was proud to be the person to give the kids a bit of a smile whilst in the hospital, and I think the kids parents appreciated the respite. I dont think too many people have seen Santa playing around in a soft play area. The staff were tremendous, these people deserve a medal, I couldnt work there I reckon my heart would be breaking. Guys an gals as always Im proud of you all. Scott

bttt

Should have done this earlier, Really must thank the elf's for helping out,. Derek, Dougie and Rose, you may not look very elfish but thanks very much

Superb guys

OK as I have said I would post details of where and when we are meeting can I ask everyone taking part in this to meet at my house, main reason being I will never get all the presents in my car. Most of you know where I stay but if your not sure then my address is as follows: Can we arrange to meet at 9.15-9.30 and leave around 9.45. This will give us enough time to load cars, decorate car, get Santa dressed and no doubt have a gibber. If you are unsure of where you are coming have a look in true grip and get my phone number, PM me, mail me or send a carrier pigeon and I will help out in any way I can. Thanks Scott

Plan to go shopiing tonight for Santa Cruise in Livingston's Toys R Us. Will be there from 7.30pm if anyone is interested in this. Still have money to collect from a few people but doesnt look like this will happen in some cases. Will post the details of the meeting place for the cruise on the other thread. Scott

Steve there have only been a few people saying they fancy a feed after the Cruise so really I cant book anywhere without concrete numbers. Will call you laters today re Santa

Sorry not been online much but the auction has now closed, congratulations to all who won and thanks for helping this cause. I will be in touch with you all regards payment and delivery soon. Thanks again Scott

Iain, you have done a lot to support this cause so it would be a shame if you didnt make the end result. You do know that you dont need to own a scoob to take part dontcha?

Those are absolutely stunning Neil, how the hell do you manage it ............. You need to show me how you do it, please BTW forgot to give ya a CD again. Will pop in in Tomoz if I remember to lift it before band.

Pretty cool stuff, really want to have a shot from inside the car when I travel at night, but need a tripod and another lens.......... dear god dont tell the missus Nice effect though.

Guys and gals looking for volunteers to take part in this this year for our local hospital St John's Sick kids Ward on December 16th at 10am. Meeting point is still to be decided as has route etc so post any preferances here. We are also looking for any member that would like to be Santa this year, suit would be hired for them and Im sure they would have a blast. Plan on doing the shopping for this on the Thursday before ( December 13th) so anyone that would like to help out with this as well as storage space I would appreciate your help. Looking to have a meal after this so looking for confirmed numbers so I can book this. Any interest or questions? Scott

Some more o my (poor) efforts.

John and Mark my pics were pretty poor all day, composition was cack and was really trying to get the knack o the lens so the Masser pics were not as good as I first thought.....also I have an annoying habit of chopping the car in pieces LOL Pics I got are here Spooks

Great Pics guys, was getting used to my new lens so not overly good pics from me. Great to see the SIPC ( Subaru Impreza Photographic Club) though

I remember when Johnny50 had anti lag on his wagon a few years back, it was amazing to be in or following him. The noise was tremendous whether it be waking sleepy villages, or confusing people at rally service parks........ class. One bad thing is it makes your turbo a serviceable item, but hey its worth it.
