  1. Z4 M Roadster ;)

    Picked her up on thursday and done a few hundred miles so far, awesome to drive. A real handful and pretty lethal when you turn the traction control off! 340 bhp and a fantastic soundtrack too, very happy!

  2. Just an observation - Do you have to have 3 digits after your forum name to be a part of Perthshire Scoobs ? B) 222, 666, 300 ! :lol:

    It helps us identify members from less respectable parts of the country :lol:

    Yes I am selling.....well not selling i'm trading in, didnt get too raped with it but was willing to take anything for it as its been a total jinx. Something nice coming for the summer B)

  3. When i first got my scoob I didnt like the windows being so dark so went to a tint company to see about getting them removed.

    He qouted me nearly £200 and said the rear windows can be very difficult to remove and would probably damage the heater elements. If i was that desperate his recommendation was to 'accidently' smash the back window and claim a new one off insurance!

    I didnt bother!

  4. There isnt any joiners offshore! Try OP Marine, they do a lot of re-fitting of rigs and employ joiner types.

    I am working alongside about 30 of them just now on a rig in Croatia.

  5. CRD did it with their Impreza in 2002 when George Smith was their Mechanic. If anyone knows where he is he could give you the whole story.

    That'll be the same Impreza that shot off the end of the handling track at TOTB and through a fence when the brakes failed?!

    I remember George, he worked for Falkland performance centre years ago.

  6. If your buying from a Subaru main dealer and the car has had modifications,(i.e dump valve) fitted by a previous owner, make sure this is noted in the warranty handbook.

    As once you leave the garage and something breaks they WILL NOT honour the warranty, p**s you about for 2 weeks then bill you for £600 to get the car back in a millions pieces worse than when it went in.

    p.s. 2005 Hawkeye STI For Sale, bargain price as I havent used it for months being overseas.

  7. I was on the ensco 102 a few times in the past 2 years, not bad place.

    Been out in Croatia since October working on the Key Manhattan driller for Transocean, a complete wreck! we are refurbing it out here.

    Should have been a 6 week job, done 15 weeks so far!! Desperate to get home and splash out on a new car, scoobs been sitting feeling sorry for itself for months in the drive.

    Rig in the background is the Galloway, even worse state than mine....now scrap!

  8. picked up a bloody throat infection, in agony so sitting in on my lonesome :banana:

    Been burning the candle at both ends and the middle for past 2 weeks so not really surprised it would catch up with me!...oh well, all the best for 2010 people.

  9. hope not! Its just the frost, its starting to melt on the edge of the wing making it look bent!

    The front splitter is a nightmare, lost one last winter this ones held on with about 40 6mm self-tappers after being partially ripped off about 4 times!
