Hi Lewisscoob Thats the way it felt M8. All i was trying to find out is why has it gone by the way side compaired to previous year? Dougie

Lewisscoob Seeing as I have been doing scoob track days since 2001 I think I am entiteld to my own opinion . And seeing as I don't have a scoob an still attend I think I show my love affair with the scoob, maybe there was a better group of folk about then

Hi Lads Long time since i have been on posting seeing as i sold the scoob 4 years ago now. Yesterday was the first time we had been up to knockhill to spectate in a track day for over a year now due to family and other things on going, i must admit that it was a very poor show from the subaru comunity for cars on track, like others have said i was used to going to thease days and the majourity of cars were scoobs, 4 on track and another half dozen or so in the car park, ieven commented to the missus that we hadnt seen a scoob in the full run up from ayrshire which is astonishing. On the up side the day was dry and blue sky's which always make knockhill a better day out and our 2 kids loved the day. i was also trying to get down to say hi to John stewart but nopt aloud to the pit lane due to the age of the kids which is a big turn around for the good old days. That blue Skyline track car didn't half back fire going up the pit straight from the hairpin didn't it lads? Good to be back up there but have a funny feeling that it could have been our last one.

Hi Davie Always had the goodyear eagles, last ones i had were the GSD3s but had to remove and replace as all had split across the width of the tyre, very scary with the speed and pressure they take. Why dont you try the Goodyear Assymetricals? i have them on the Bmw now and really like them, no probs in the snow either over the crimbo period, From mine they are £200 a corner though. OOh and while i am talking about that cheers for waving back ya ignorant git, you was coming past the Louon academy just about to hit the A71 at Galston, it was during the holidays, didnt think you would reconise the BMW and me driving it. Cheers Dougie

Hi Guys Went up yesterday and lasted only until 11, lack of scoobs on track for me, but very good weather, i never even saw any faces i knew, very changed days. Have the rules changed for standing on the pit wall now a days? i wasnt allowed to take my son onto the pit wall area!!!!!! Heay there was a P1 on track which made my day, still the best looing scoob in my eyes. Dougie

Hi Del If you are doing a deal then only ask and Deal with John Spicer. Tell him Dougie sent you I have been dealing with them for the past 10 years now, if there ever was an issue it was dealt with very quickly and pleasently. Cheers Dougie

Hi M8 Used to live just on the outsikrts of Dunlop, so as stewartyboy said the roads are best siuted to Scoobs. I know the silver wagon is the Doctor, he stays just up from the church on the right hand side. Cheers Dougie

Hi All Went up today with Diana and Rhys, probably the best day we have had as a family there due to weather and walking round the centre section, but dissapionted in the lack of Scoobs up at knockhill , deffo more a Evo day. Cheers Dougie

Hi m8 Dont listen to the twaddle that the P1's engine goes at 50k, full of pish, yeah some cars engines have let go and you will probably find that its down to modding and not getting the right parts or the way the car is looked after and used. But there is a stigma about P1s and there engines, its only due to the fact that the P1 is a specific car, i bet if you looked into it you would find a lot of my2000 classics with the same issues. But heay mine has now done 56k on original engine and still going strong. The one on here is nice and its had the 2.5 litre convertion so big bonus. Cheeers Dougie

Hi M8 Sounds like it could have been me in our P1 always wave at Scoobs Cheers Dougie

HI M8 Nae probs here M8 ;o) So hows the search going for a car then? Cheers Dougie

I have never asked for it to be there and tried getting in touch with them plenty of times and no answers yet Cheers anyway M8 Dougie

HI Jimmygforce Could you please remove the picture of my car as your advatar, If you need proof i can send the original picture. Hi Rallyfever Choices choices M8, but at least you have plenty to choose from. Dougie

Hi Guys Cou;d anyone tell me why we werent allowed on the pit wall today? first time i have ever been told i wasnt allowed there? Cheers Dougie

Hi Cal Just the same as us but the deal was £15 and a crap phone so that was why i ended the contract, i am glad you got a good deal though Dougie

Hi M8 I had Vodaphone contract before and the reason i left was because there bills were nuts, i think they just made up there own bills, that was why i went to Orange, and i must say they have been spot on with bills and always fixed problems if something went wrong(which was once in a blue moon). I am very lucky just now as i left orange with a pak code and 3 days later have a new pak code and can go back to orange with the same number and better phone which is always what i wanted. The blackberry Storm is a nice phone but dont think i would have used the majority of the features it had, funny getting used to the scroll and touch screen side of things, but very neat.The only benifit i can see with the C905 over the N96 is the pixle size of the camera, but the bigger the picture quality the longer it takes to send and probably costs more Dougie

Hi craigdmcd Sorry M8 just like being honest sorry if it cost's you Dougie

Hi Cal There will be good points and bad points for ever network and every one has a bad point. In the same boat as you, been with orange for 5 years, bad reception in the house so thought about a change, there coverage is excellent though as i work from up north down to london, i did how ever get my pak code gave them there notice and joined VODAPHONE, vodaphone chopped my old network on wedensday aftert i signed for my new Blackberry STORM, new sim card came with my old number printed on it, after 2.5 days of numerous phone calls to vodaphone i took the storm back and cancelled my 2 year contract with them, no one on the phone could find my account or why my sim card was being rejected, they aslo didnt really know i had the new phone, in the end the store found the problem was that the sim card hadn't been registered and was never live.If that is what it is like after only 2.5 days then there was no way i could do 2 YEARS with them I now have another PAK code and been thinking about going back with orange as there service over the phone and problem solving is excellent, but O2 do have a good coverage and is the house is full bar of service. Been looking at the Sony C905 and N96 now.

Hi Davie Cheers for that. Dougie

Hi Dave Glad of any help M8 But i still do get to take her out for a spin M8 Cheers Dougie

We Deliver quicker than DHL Parcel Force and Royal mail, Go on try us, The A Team Well done every one, so same date next year? Dougie

HI M8 Just wondering if the P1 you were talking about was the one on track our the other one. We were ther yesterday in our's and not on track, pity as ours is up for sale at the moment aswell, any question then fire away. Hopfully here is a link to the said car for sale. http://p1woc.co.uk/postnuke/index.php?name...pic&t=20946 As for the running side of things its always going to be the fuel thats the killer, service is once a year at those mile's Parts well that depends on what bit's you need but you will always find some one selling new bits they bought and never fitted which makes things cheaper. Yes it is better to have one mapped but not nessecery as there are plenty on oridginal engune's and high mile's, it's more down to how it's driven Cheers Dougie

HI All Boy do i wish i could my P1 sold to get the white 1 with the Rb320 wheels Just always the same, the right car at the wrong time Dougie

Hi Guys Cheers for that, happy bunny now. Dougie

Hi Guys Any 1 know when Top gear is repeated as i missed it altogether? Cheers Dougie
