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.

I am going to speak to my councillor, I would like a speed camera at each end of the road. I may be wrong but is that not what they are for? Or is there no chance of making any money from them there? I'm going to get the neighbours together too and petition for speed bumps. 2' high ones that rip out sumps!

I just smile.

Trouble is my lounge is at the back and by the time I get out the front they have gone. I'll have them though. They woke my 3 year old last night at 2 in the morning. Next step's the 10" boulder to take the sump out. Watch me. This is really p1$$1ng me off now.

I'm at he point of throwing a large boulder under the next Impreza I hear doing mental speeds down Craigentinny Avenue. Some nutters are doing around 70mph down past my house in a 30 limit. I have 2 young daughters and if one of them runs out on the road I will never see them grow up. 1 because they will be killed instantly and 2 because I will be in jail for murder, and I would. WHO EVER IT IS WILL YOU BLOODY WELL GROW UP.

Frank, give Morrisons in Portobello a go, they do a great job. Mine is going in soon to have the bonnet done. Derek.

Hi. You most certainly would notice the difference, especially on the road. It's not important to have the settings done before changing the droplinks.

Do CLM have a 4 wheel laser machine?

Unfortunately Zeolite I will be watching from the sidelines this year. The marketing budget was cut by £600,000 this year and I was first to be bumped. Plans afoot for next year though!!

Any chance of Friday's stage times too?!?! My Mum's got my pack in Kelso waiting for me for Thursday night. Ta.

I touch goats.
