Derek FKS 85

There's been no rain recently to wash away the grease and oil. Inexperienced driver come to greif all too ofter because they don't take this into account when it rains after a long dry spell.

A very good friend on mine's daughter was involved in a fatal road accident last week. She hit another vehicle head on in town. The driver had to be taken to hospital but has since been released. Fortunately, she will eventually be OK but had to be cut out of the wreckage of her Racing Puma. Tragically she killed her passenger, a long time friend who was 19. Please think about this and what she will have to live with for the rest of her live. Think about this before you do excessive speed in town. I see too many 18 and 19 year olds in Saxo's Corsa's etc. doing in excess of 60 and 70 mph down my street, hunched over the wheel with no belts on. I do like to think the Impreza drivers are a lot more respectful of what can happen, but I've also seen some driven at ridiculous speeds in town. Sorry to sound so dramatic but what happened to this girl is real. If you know anyone who does speed excessively in town tell them about this and ask them to take two minutes to think about how they would be feeling right now if they killed someone. Someones son, daughter, sister or brother.

Funny you should say that, I took my Mum home to Kelso the other night and got there and back on less than 1/4 of a tank. My just be my imagination but I do think there's a difference. No noticable difference in performance though. I'll keep my eye on it.

Phone Godspeed, they do original reconditioned ones fairly cheap. Good lad Ian Godney too.

So are you just over there car spotting then?

Not something I would normally post, but I saw you in Portobello a couple of weeks ago. (I drive a UK turbo in Sonic Blue), Beautiful looking car.

Anything as long as it's Japanese. Stay well away from LandRovers of any description, (that came from a mate who is a LandRover mechanic). What you want is a Rav4 5 door.

Paid £51.00 last night to fill up. But I'm now getting nearly 300 miles to a tank after my Andy F. Ecutek re-map!

And..........! Feel the difference?

Falkirk probably. But worth the trip to Cupar it seems! We could really do with a decent dealer in Edinburgh.

Something that my local dealer near Edinburgh should try. Polite and courteous service.

No problem Frank.

You can drive mine and see if there is any difference if you like.

I'm going to get the neighbours to sign a petition to have speed bumps fitted. I hate them too but someone is going to be killed.

I would go for that but I'm having an ECUTEC next week by Andy F so have to watch pennies! Bargin though. David Reids a nice guy. We bumped into him on the Jim Clark.
