  1. aye we stopped there on there on the way up for a quick hand wash then pressed northwards. LOL
  2. thanks Alan, i will try them with spacers if no one buys them. failing that i will have the conversation with them around some kind of solution.
  3. spacers is an idea. i will send them back on wednesday/thursday but wanted to see if anyone wanted them first. im gutted, they are really nice rims !!!
  4. Hi, I bought these alloys from Midlands Wheels down south. The wheels arrived today after me sitting in all day to wait for them. What happened next is most strange and annoying. I left my house to go to my usual tyre supplier/fitter in order that he could take my toyos off and put them onto my spanking shiny new rims. As i was admitedly going V fast to get to the place in time and i mean fast......the magical blue flashing lights came on behind me. I pulled over to the hard shoulder and awaited my fate (ie license removed from my sweaty palms for a good while) and was ushered with a torch into the back of the police car (similar to teh cinema without the popcorn or the cheery smile) Luckily for me, good manners aside i was told that the camera wasnt turned on and had it been i would have had the green paper revoked due to the speed on the motorway i was doing. stupid i know. He gave me a harsh, stern, serious warning and sent me on my way. it emerged that my tyre place was too busy anyway and i had to go to kwik fit. they took the shiny new rim out the box and checked to make sure the wheels that i was sold YES THEY WILL FIT OVER THE BREMBO CALIPERS................clearly as my day was going....THE DONT !!!! AAARRRGGGG i asked the pie heads several times if they would fit and "oh yes, no worries etc etc" SO These brand new alloys can either be bought for perhaps a WRX which it will fit or im going to have to send them down south and get a refund. I paid £320 and am selling these now for £300!!! 17" +48 offset PM me
  5. Welcome Ian what scoob did you get????? what are your plans for it?
  6. aye you know what one you wanna buy A) a new MY06 A pre tuned STI8 (instant madness, just add right foot) lol
  7. hope this snow pish doesnt stop the delivery van with my new alloys in it !!!! sometime between 0900-1700 that means 1659
  8. unless it had a sign in the garden when you bought it and you pay it over 25 years with central heating its gonna lose money so why not just drive it whenever you can? and for those of you that live in glasgow, theres a car wash (hand) at the gorbals that wash your car and even get excited cos the wheels are still dirty and wont let you go till its immaculate. all for £4 !!!!! I think they are iraqis and are in fear of their lives/jobs if they dont make a perfect job of it. i would take advantage of this situation and get your scoobs in there !!!!
  9. excellent success mate you have paid £15-20k for a car and now play the "see how long you can not drive it for games"
  10. aye i like it a lot. amused me no end
  11. perhaps, im not sure......i was really just testing out my moving avatar and thought i would mix it up with my crafty wink

  16. THIS CAR IF A FERKING FLYING MACHINE WHEN REQUIRED personally i drive it around at a slow normal pace but it shifts!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. i cant be hooped counting but there looks to be around 50 people up for this now. if need be we can look at the teams closer to the time if the numbers dont balance out or maybe the RO's can look for more people to assist in their region not getting hammered on the day? Glasgow, Edinburgh and Fife seem to have good numbers at the moment. will this change................... John S- I will speak to the relevant people over the next week or so and find out how much this will cost. could you arrange for this to be purchased through the sidc shop please? All suggestions welcome..... Chris
  18. stephen sent this photo to them and it is fantastic we got into the bbc news. a credit to everyone that made it that day and made the photoshoot what it is. i need to ask Jon at Scoobymag when we are due to be in the magazine !!!!
  19. well said young man. i believe thats now 3-2 to you. power to weight means everything to me. i know that although classics are lighter.....they can still be beaten if you have the right power lol
  20. mr scoobyuk300 i think you need to count again. its now 2-1 to david as it stands just now. follow the posts again Yes, your not a man till youve been to the other side of control Davie- maybe you should stick to this and leave the big power to us? 2-2
