i dont know how correct this is

I won`t be there, Not sure if you have seen my other post, But my scooby gets changed for a RX-8 this week.

what normally happens at these meets

as i was told by the dvla ' the sva is only there to prove that it is what it is , the mot is there to prove it is road legal'

that was while i was going thru the motions of registering a kit car .

or iva as it is now

Lets face it, SVA Testing is a joke anyways. The amount of ***** that ive seen passed through places is unbelieveable. HID is the last thing to worry about the cars that are rolling outta there.

as i was told by the dvla ' the sva is only there to prove that it is what it is , the mot is there to prove it is road legal'

Definitely worth it for the discounts alone mate, not to mention the Track Days and legal cover amongst other things!

i must admit i have never looked into the benefits of membership , i will have a look into it this week of maybe talk to some of the east anglian people at the meet tomorrow if anyone is going

I suspect as you are not a paid member then you are getting the Google Ads which I dont think you can get rid of..............someone will probably come along and prove me wrong

ah well thats that then , i will just have to pay up then i think

is there any way i can get rid of the adverts at the top of the page as i cant see half of the links , i realise they may be a necessary evil to help keep the site going but it is no good if i cant see some of the site

You'd better take along a bicycle, and ride it on the road to hold up all the normal people Its like bloody Bangkok

i have noticed there are alot of bikes about , reminds me of holland , i will be down at the red lion as i will need to go somewhere for my tea (or maybe dinner) anyway , assuming they do food

anyone else????

i cant believe noone seems to be interested .

i assume they do food there as i will need to get ma tea anyway! or is it dinner down here!

I'd stuff a bit of kitchen roll or similar in the hole with the supect spoiler bolt and then keep an eye on it for signs of water getting in that way..

Or as suggested, find a willing volunteer to hide in the boot with a torch while you hose it down from the outside!

can you not put some water based paint around the suspected leak in areas , let it dry and then hose the car and see where the paint is washed off , although you may want to remove any carpet etc first just in case

that is a fantastic thing for someone to do , it just goes to show there ARE nice people out there !

well done that person whoever you are

i realise this isnt particularly scooby related but i am coming down to cambridge with work for a month and was wondering if there was anything to do or see (or not) in or around cambridge as i will be there for a month and will need to find something to do in the evenings weekends , or places to avoid

i must say i am in my late 30's so going to student bars gettin wrecked and fighting aint my thing

i do fancy it as i am coming down to cambridge for a month on sunday with work , so all being well i should be able to pop round , i hope .

only the steering wheel and center storage lid and parcel shelf to go now , when i get paid

here is my latest purchase , i have had a legacy for the last couple of years for carrying my trials bike around but i have managed to break my golden rule and save up so i could get my dream 2 door

i have had it for a few weeks now but only just got round to registering with photobucket to host the pics which are here

http://s769.photobucket.com/albums/xx338/f...ype%20r%20pics/

assuming i have done it right.

i dont know why you would want so much red but it wasnt for me so it has nearly all gone

let me know what you think

well as far as my humble opinion goes i agree with what has been posted previously , all the imprezas are good at what they do to an extent , but my favourite (since the first day i clapped eyes on one , is the 22b although i cant afford one so bought a type r ) and as far as i am concerned it is as good as i thought and imagined and (as sad as it sounds ) spends a lot of time looking at , and washing it.

but i must also point out , i believe a lot of owners find the sound and handling of one the most addictive things otherwise they would buy the likes of evos skylines etc as lets face it they aint the most reliable

but we love em .

or at least i do

yes i rate

1: classic

2:hawkeye

3:hatch

4:bugeye

5:blobeye

that does throw up an issue as , i insured my untaxed impreza while it was in my garage , i only did this as my buildings and contents would not cover it (they said no motor vehicle is coverered and should be insured in its own right) , when i asked my insurance about the untaxed issue they said i was insuring the car against theft from my private property (although it still covers the car should i tax it) it may be a bit of a grey area

how do you put pics on here as i was gonna put pics of my car but i cant see how you do it

thanks

mike

x reg black saloon with lexus lights in ulverston at about 6:45pm on saturday night going thru ulverston on the dual carriageway

l reg wagon , black about juntion 31 m6 friday afternoon about 2:15pm

i was in the blue type r doin 50 mph with the space saver on

it just seems strange that things as important as official document details can be left out without dvla bothering about it

does anyone on here know any history about this car good or bad .

if there is a type approval number listed on the log book of a car does that mean it has had an sva , i thought that type approval and sva's were 2 different things the reason i ask is a type r i am thinking of buying has a type approval number on the log book but i cant remember there being one on my old wrx import

i tried the confused website to get a quote using the reg plate but it didnt recognise it , that said it didnt recognise my volvo when i had it either and was told it was because it had never been insured with them before under that reg (private plate) anyway i tried to do a selling listing with the reg on ebay and that did bring the car up with the same details as the v5 and the hpi .

as for insurance i agree with you , i have had my quotes for a type r and will be insuring it as a type r and since it doesnt say it is anything else on the log book i cant see how anyone can accuse me of trying to defraud any insurance company.

i must say i much prefer the fact that the stuff is missing rather than wrong , the last thing i want to do is insure a car as one thing and the insurance fob me off if i had an accident deu to the car being another , i have heard about cars being insured as gl's when in fact they are type r's or ra's , i would have thought you would be in a world of pain should something happen
