Haven’t logged into SIDC for YEARS!!! I occasionally keep an eye on my old red blobeye WRX - SA03 OBY - looks like it’s still kicking about somewhere, MOT’d until October 2025 and was almost at 180k miles at its last MOT. I wonder where it is now, I sold it in 2008 or 2009 to a guy from Stornoway.

Kenny, There is a company just off the Edinburgh Bypass that specialises in car storage, I have used them quite a few times. I know it's not exactly central, but using this company might give you piece of mind that your car is safe while you are away. http://www.carstoragescotland.co.uk/storage.htm Mark Spiers is the guy you need to speak to if you decide to phone up. It's not eaxctly cheap, but then anything good these days isn't.

Dawn says she likes your ring Imy

Congratulations! Hope you get sorted soon Grant.

Would a Skoda owner be welcomed at a E & L meet Gus, or would I be shunned like a leper & be made to sit in a darkened corner until I come to my senses & trade the Skoda in for something burbly?

Aye I thought that, but didn't know how to get hold of him! Is he still around/on SIDC?

Hullo chaps. Would any of you know of a company or individual who could apply some of that clear paint protection film (ventureshield/defendall) on a section of car bodywork? Ideally within in the Edinburgh/Glasgow/Falkirk/West Lothian area. I know there used to be a mob in Ratho that did this, but apparently they are no longer there. The piece of bodywork I want protected is not currently attached to the car and is fairly small in size (front grille). Cheers!

That's braw.

Was asking Stevie Walker the other day if he'd heard from you recently Chris, I said I hadn't spotted you on the forum for a while.

Well, the Mrs (who works for the RBS) had the dreaded "your job is at risk" meeting today so I am going to have to put the plans for a return to Subaru ownership back onto the back burner again for a while. Gav - cheers for the info via PM - will be in touch again in the future if money/circumstances allow.

I did indeed Gav, just debating the car with the wife just now. Must admit, I had forgotten about the £415pa road tax - not a huge deal breaker for me but still, it's another add into the 'no' column! Tried calling you on Friday, about 5:20pm, but you were with a customer, and I didn't get the chance to call back. Will be in touch in the next couple of days if I plan to nip down for a look at the car though. It's a cracking-looking car though.

Mmm. As you know I had the KEI Force 10's on my old Scoob, in 18" though. Mine were Hypersilver. Can't say I am loving these ones on your car Steve, they just look a bit too "bright". Are you sure they are Hyperblack? Will need to have a decent look "in the flesh" to form a proper opinion though.

Hello lads. I am considering returning to Subaru ownership after 2 years away. The car below, which is for sale at a Scottish main dealer, has interested me and I wondered if you happy chaps would give me your opinions, especially if anyone knows the actual car and how it was looked after by previous owner(s). Car is for sale at £11,645. Done nearly 28K miles, got leather interior, tinted rear windows and 18" OZ anthracite alloys on it. Not been to see it yet, I am off work till Thursday next week so I might nip down over the next few days. So - thoughts, opinions, any comments on limitations on modifying wagons (springs? exhaust? - are they different?) appreciated. Oh, and if I do buy it, that STI badge on the front grille will be the first mod - straight in the bin! Cheers, Andy

You might, if you can travel through to West Lothian, give Andy at Magma a try. Been using him for years, every car i've owned in the last 12 years have had tints. He's based in Pumpherston, near Uphall. His number is 01506 440 144

Looks braw Al, gimme a shout when you get it and i'll take a wee run over for a look-see.

Mind let me know which charity you would prefer Gus. Andy.

I do, vaguely, seem to recall making some sort of remark regarding a donation of some sort - please be kind enough good sir to name the charity of your choice and I will make said twenty pound donation. Would you care to enter into some sort of bet on the likelihood of you owning the vehicle in question for another year?

Need to see a scan of your V5 for proof first

Here is a pic of my car with them on:

You can get them from the dealers - I had them on my blobeye (so would be the same ones for your hawkeye). Looking back through my PC it seems I paid £115.83 to Halleys back in 2005, but that was including them fitting them. They go onto the black strip that sits just below the roof.

Dunno, but he's a member on here so you can send him a PM - http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showuser=20842 OR Stevie Whitson 0795 611 9962

You can get the covers from the Subaru dealers, I think they are about £60 for the pair, roughly. You might also want to consider: 1. "De-tango" the front headlights (removing the traingular orange wedges 2. Getting the sideskirts colour-coded 3. Ignore 1 & 2, and just have fun driving it!

You'll regret it stephen (probably!). I did, and still do. Love your facebook photo by the way - excellent!

Hullo! Think it was me that recommended this place over on PH, nice car but when will the modifying start! Your car looks pretty much standard from what I can see from the pic, apart from the mudflaps.

Nice. Whats that under the front number plate though?
