Chris Harris is well worth a follow if you're a twitterererererer. He HATES the BMW X6 - http://twitter.com/harrismonkey

As I said previously - I was aware who the OP was very early doors yesterday and may have got out my industrial sized fishing rod for the purpose of the expedition. So I should apologise for that.

It is scoobzie. So RACERX/scoobzie/Diablo - I should really apologise for baiting you a wee bit. Very easy to do though as you can see. You managed to hide it well for quite a few months there. I'm impressed. I went looking this morning though and realised it was you. Posting from the same IP address only days after you were banned. Very amateur. How's tricks?

Yep, vigilante Scooby owners going to Milton to get a bonus beating is what the solution to this problem is. Or even better - Vigilante scooby owners getting arrested after trying to get their own property back. Double bonus!

If you don't report it then you're just enabling them. Phone crime stoppers - 0800 555 111 - tell them what you know. It's anonymous but could help someone who's had a car stolen get it back because of the information you claim to have. Or at least stop someone else's being next. Put up or shut up as the old saying goes.

Have you thought about going to the police with this information?

Believe they only had servicing and used cars before. Got the letter too, which was nice as the only thing I'd ever bought from them was a washer used when doing an oil change, so they've pretty much blown their profit margin on me!

Was it a left hand drive when you had it Andy?

Not good Neil, but at least they didn't actually get it. My next door neighbours had their Q7 stolen 2 weeks ago. Smashed the glass in the front door of the house and grabbed the keys. Stolen to order I bet.

Economical I think. I'm not selling mine because of the fuel prices though. Just want a change and some cash.

Not decided yet Gus. Fancy a break from "fast" cars to be quite honest so I might stick with the age old principle of K.I.S.S - Keep it simple, stupid.

My time is up - http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=147295 It's been utterly awesome.

1/40 hand held with or without IS Neil?

I meant to say that Strut brace - I have one on mine and it's not helped as you would see!

In 5 and a bit years I've had 4 windscreens including the one that came with the car.

Granted in the snow or rain I'd not be pushing as hard in a RWD car, but in the dry they are both outstanding cars round bends. That's a ridiculous statement to make.

Don't a lot of Aftermarket bits say for "competiton or show use only" or similar? Gets round the company offering them being sued senseless when you're pulled by the police for having an illegally specced car.

Really sad news that. Have to wonder why the trip wasn't cancelled given the weather Few people here at work had 4+ hour journeys home last night as trains to fife from Edinburgh were suspended. I seem to have got the last train west on my route as the east coast line was shut later on, and still is I think. Had to get the scotrail service this morning - it was really strange because in Motherwell it was snowing but there was none lying, but by the time we were through Wishaw and onto Carluke it was near blizzard conditions. I think there was probably a good 6 inches lying in Carstairs station.

Saw plenty of it lying out Carstairs way from the train window. It's re-god-damn-diculous.

Sounds like someone profiteering to me.

I should have read this before posting in the spotted forum. It answers the "how did the test go" question.

What's the plan for the year then John?

Tesco Uddingston are pretty good with having 99 for anyone out my way. I think it'll get fairly well recycled with the amount of flash cars in Bothwell. Plenty of school run mums in range rover sports working their way through half a ton of it a week given the speed they seem to insist on going at - standstill or 70mph in a 30.

Well it turned out to be none of the previous suggestions - it was a track rod end being awkward! Sorted now and car appears to be fine.
