i like my bc's but quality can be hit and miss from set to set - teins are great quality but too harsh for our roads, reckon il be putting a set of kw's on my car at some point in the next year so if you can save enough id go with that

like a newage bodykit so it looks better?

in that case welcome to you too Stuooby - now do the decent thing and get a pic of your motor up got any pics of your dc5 Jxta?

certainly can - il make sure he has the room closest to the water,very very close to the water in fact.... and can you stick these into the banter thread Barry, time for some housekeeping

hiya mate, i know the hard knott pass well used to stay down there - the roads for the fling are pretty similar but nothing as challenging as applecross this year. Still some fantastic pretty deserted roads, amazing scenery (especially if i organise the weather again,...) and the hotel for sat night is lovely (and the bars open late...) Alun think we had 24 cars last year on the actual day, this year numbers are so far at (drum roll please......) 31 cars! wow! cough, Lewis PM me your rates.......

id have won that last year Al lol does look good Matty, never been there myself - you know how it is with places on your doorstep!

me too! o wait no thats miles to a tank.....

not if they follow the right route they wont Lewis..... though you are right, north west is the best - and im not even from there! Inverness is a lovely place, well worth a poke around and some cracking hotels - look up Rocpool Matty

welcome along, big difference between the teg and the scoob - out of the box in the dry teg handles sweeter but a few fairly simple changes can transform the sti, now lock away your credit cards!

I dont think anyone needs a reminder of that one.... My top tip - bubble wrap for your front bumper and prebook autoglass for your return (unless your right at the front )

nice work Lewis - any more tips from folks??

thanks for reposting that pic Al, no really..... Brian, brilliant advice! - nice beginners guid to Fling'ing

oh aye Euan, so bigger mods planned then

aye aye Rich, had some problems with the car that were expensive, lack of use, parking it on a deer etc was just getting a bit fed up - and thought about emigrating too lol But its all sorted now, im back in love with it and aiming to do more track stuff next year - fancy some friendly rivalry?? and go on, you know you want to fling again - see if you can remember how to drive that white thing properly Matty, goat trekking towards you

and that is the best possible advert for the Fling - its for petrolheads and WAGS alike, everyone has fun

muddy hell, look who's crawled out of the woodwork!! hows ya doing Rich? go on take it off work and actually do a whole fling for once - so far you failed once due to hangover and once because you followed Cathy

would be better if they signed on and said hi - i really need everyone coming definitely to have their names on the list to organise stops etc

yep, we're all going to dress up as hydro employees and play hunt the boy racer who cant manage to spot a landrover behind him - sound fun?

just want to say that thats a week since i put up the thread annoucing this years fling and theres 27 cars down on it - thats incredible, you guys rock!!! seeing so many people returning and a good smattering of newbies all making such positive comments and getting so excited about it makes the little effort i put into planning it all worthwhile, so a huge huge thank you to you all for the support - i really cant wait for april! O and il email the real destination to everyone apart from Davie this week so shhh, dont tell him.....

my mediocre skills were good enough to catch you at castle coombe Davie besides its just a nice tootle along on the fling......

I know, im soooooo excited!!! especially looking at the numbers weve got already - and plenty of new faces as well I really wish there was a fast forward button in life!

Jeez Euan, have you got dodgy pics of your broker or something?? they obviously havent seen you drive......

exactly - we keep taking Del out with us after all as long as you dont make us watch football we dont really mind and hatches are usually so far behind noboby minds what they look like anyway Its always good fun, usually great roads, frequently great weather and very occasionally organised properly.....

Davie i have learned - im in there with you too monster i am deeply deeply jealous, really wanted a pair of them! need to go looking for something special to wear now.... hmmm..... and ignore the missus, your never too young to retire! come join us.....

and done!! details are now up on the main thread (FIRST POST!!!) of accomadation for saturday night, grab a room before they go! this does also reveal our destination as well, though not the route....
