Thanks Peter. If buying a core from someone then it might just be as well to get them to do the end tanks etc. anyway - and it'd all be their work too. Have passed the info on though.

What you running now these days?

Hey Peter, would be for a small-ish core cooler to fit a supercharged 1400 motorbike engine running I think about 18psi/1.25 bar. To be packaged in a Westfield type car.

Everything on eBay is heavy, too big, or doesn't have the sort of pipework exits that are helpful to the packaging.

How's the satay? Must get down for a taste again.

Changed my tedious diesel clio for an Ibiza SC earlier this year. Got the 1.4 twin charged engine with the 7 speed DSG. Nice little car to drive and not slow. Not 290 horses quick obviously, but I can't complain as it's fairly cheap to run.

Holy user account resurrection batman!

Anyone know of anywhere Glasgow-ish that can do custom intercooler builds? Not for a subaru, but an intercooler is an intercooler and some of you nutters must have had some interesting ones put together.

Hope you're all well!

Cheers

Will check Arch. Sounds like a good plan!

Yeah it was lever to the floor, so more than likely the ratchet failed somehow. If you search for vauxhall handbrake you'll find loads of hits for watchdog and what not, but this car only new last year so shouldnt be affected. It's been recalled for a brake pedal problem but not the brakes themselves. My folks' driveway is on a slight slope, so he had to have put the brake on before he got out otherwise the car would have rolled straightaway.

Not been down to have a look yet to see if I can replicate it. Garage had it to test and couldn't see anything. Vauxhall themselves fobbed him off saying it should be left in gear as thats what the highway code says. Did a quick check tonight and that's pish, so they'll be getting challenged on that.

Hey kids, long time no speak!

As per the topic - my brother's less than a year old Corsa got loose in the driveway and hit the garage wall. Car was parked up with handbrake on and some point after he left it and 5 hours later the handbrake failed (the lever was all the way to the floor so dodgy ratcher?) and it rolled down the incline.

Arnie Clark and Vauxhall both not interested after first attempt at speaking to them but it shouldn't be an insurance job as it's been a car failure. So looking for someone to speak to!

Cheers

I'm up in Carfin now so will keep my eyes peeled for your old one.

There's a nice white hatch kicks about up here, but other than that they seem to be getting rarer.

She's got full permission to use it

As much as I still see plenty of Scoobs about - I've never seen mine since I sold it. Probably just as well!

One less black Scooby to wave at around Lanarkshire

Never mind mate. I've been over a year without mine now and it's only wee odd moments that I miss it. Wouldn't have traded in the 5 and a bit years for anything though.

Oh and that was my quote.

Anyone here? Cutting the guy up and then sitting on the line in traffic so he couldn't make progress?

You stay classy.

Bumped in to JohnS yesterday in Burger King in Dundee of all places. He was heading north and we were going south - he was saying there'd been a good turnout on the stand - and the event in general. The pictures certainly seem to show that. Great to see the club's going strong.

Think they've got the Rossi and Stoner helmets mixed up.

Welcome to the darkside Billy. It's not as fun, but a hell of a lot cheaper.

Although your Cooper S will be more entertaining than my oil burner.

You've ruined me for other men.

I think my dad used Dent Devils on his Merc last week. £80 to get a fairly decent one out of his bonnet and a couple of others the guy spotted. Said it was top notch work and not expensive.

Would have been good to catch up with you as it has been a long time since we last spoken.

I'll get down for a visit soon Peter as it has been quite a while!

Good news John.

Like you said - it's not just a car. In fact the car is the thing I miss least out of the whole ownership experience.

Feck, my work Christmas night out is that night!

Mine too, for the fourth or fifth year running so no can do

I think I got lucky when I sold mine as it went in less than a fortnight. I remember you were interested at the time as well Gaz. Welsho's still trying to shift his too and it's a cracking car.

Just not a seller's market at the moment at all.

Thought about We Buy any car?

Used "the garage" in Wishaw a couple of times to rectify a few wee things on the car before I sold it and couldn't fault the service or communication. Admittedly it was for some suspension stuff and not engine related.

There's a competition going on just now on http://www.Jalopnik.com to find a new blogger. One of the articles mentions the scottish scoobies - http://is.gd/fH5iW 

When I was using mine it was bringing me enoug of a reward to make it worthwhile. Might as well get something back!

Phew. Signatures completely turned off. Full offence to anyone who's added a picture to theirs - but it's the single most efficient way to completely destroy the usability of a forum. Stop and look at it for a minute and digest exactly what you're adding to a page payload and length of time for people to scroll. The usability gods will thank you when you remove yours.

Other than that - liking the new look. Especially the new mobile view. Very web two point ohhhhhhh.
