Semi-automatic - WHAT? Bileocks mate I think. I have an 03 WRX, no semi-auto on that, except the semi-automatic climate control. Brian

That was quite a wee while back and I am sure the new STI will be on the road by now ???? Brian

And Merry Christmas of course. Brian

Cheers Dave, Sorry the Unichip is not what you hoped - can you get your money back? Car is doing well - keeping it on the road I thought you were planning on running the Yaris cheaply - spending £400 on a Unichip Brian

I'd be up for a re-run. Did not get the chance at the re-run date due to the "inconsiderate" placement of a ditch Then booked a seperate time but had to work so cancelled. Good luck in getting it organised whoever it is - I'll be there Brian.

Spotted - the Carbon Fibre bonnet gave it away instantly and the TEIN stickers. We were having a congestion race - I almost got out of first gear, you disappeared off, at least at 15 MPH. Hope life is well with you and the Yaris Dave. Nice to actually spot someone in the drudgery which is the M8 Eastbound at 8AM Brian

LOL

Congratulations guys - looks very good and a good cause! Pity I could not be there - maybe next year but may just be the same scenario with work One question - who is the ugly guy who looks like Kojak with the glasses on beside the blue STI bugeye with gold badges and private plate??? Brian

Kwik Fit

A F Nobles will do the car, including doors etc for around £100 - very good bodyshop. Brian

Well said Billyboy, It pretty much is what it should be, the odd "moment" aside. The issues which were prevalent on another widely used bulletin board were related to the moderation and running of it - which is not an issue here - the issues here seem to be personal, or misguided. There is no reason for bad feeling - this is the internet, not real life and an interest in Subaru is what brings us here firstly, secondly to build up connections and meet friends with similar interests. For that it has been very useful. Long live SIDC. Brian

Here here!!

BTTT

Howdy John, I touch goats Brian

Long story mate - almost led to the Scoobynet revolt singlehandedly!!! Well, that and several pub sessions commonly referred to as "West Lothian Meet" Brian

Malky does a West Lothian Scoob

<< I see the problem with this ( apart from the legal ramifications for SIDC and poster of a libelous post) as one of consistency. Sometimes a dealer does a great job, sometimes its crap. In Phil's analogy at least the fags all have the same carcenogenic properties! I have seen numerous threads here, and on the other forum which have conflicting views on the merits/demerits of a particular organisation. Often it gets heated. Perception is not always reality and since this is about opinions its a dangerous area. Also how would we/SIDC go about "approving" a supplier/vendor? Can't really see a "3 bad experiences and your out" working because its too subjective. I am fairly clear on the organisation (Subaru approved and otherwise) that I would trust with my car.... and the ones I wouldn't let near it with a chamois ! I imagine if we all did the same excercise the lists would be very similar. Great original post to prompt discussion and debate though. Keith >> Jeez Keith, This double fatherhood lark is turning you into a right sensible geezer

Thank-you all! I am OVERWHELMED by the lack of replies

Stevie who indeed!!! I have been lurking in the shadows as all owners of black cars will understand

Was it me for the last 15 days online!!! NO IT WAS NOT ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I am back now at 2.2 Mb ADSL Brian Welcome back to me - HOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!! P.S. Anyone miss me?

A F Nobles Subaru in Penicuik just beside Edinburgh. Very good and I use them instead of Drive where I bought my car, now renamed Morrisons. Also Eden Subaru in Fife. Brian

Pagid RS 4.2.1 are excellent.

1) Matt (sti-zlv) A thursday night perhaps. 2) Paulc555 3) Barry (DEVLIN) any night 6.30 onwards preffered 4) Billyboy 5) wullie + claire 6)Jamie (HI SOOB) + Ally (wife) 7) - Grovit (Chris) 8) - Rice Rocket 9) Grantyboy 10) brian ( rallye 6 ) 11) karps (maybe,possible.not too sure,depends) 12) WRXMANIA - Evening would be good. I will give them a chance - bought my last car there from Derek who was good - just, like IanJ, would not trust servicing there. However this is not to say that other dealers are excellent - bee a good idea for a meet. Good on the dealer if they will make some effort, unlike some others. When you thinking Matt? Brian

Added my name to the list - they look good. Anthracite of course - none of that gold stuff
