  1. Tried Subaru Mark? Been surprisingly inexpensive (not going to say cheap ) for some bits in the past. There's also Glenburgie although they're rallying this wekend so ring Monday.
  2. No fair. Emma wants pink wheels on her 172 Cup. The STi 7 could've had a wee brother.
  3. Never nice to hear so close to home. Working Link
  4. That does ring a bell Ciaran. I've only been on Bruce one trip however along with a trip in the office so still finding my feet as it were.
  5. Yup, eBay is where i got rid of Superleggeras eventually. Buy some bubble wrap, brown tape and bin bags and £45 will see them mailed anywhere in the UK thanks to Royal Mail. There may be cheaper options but you just can't beat making four consecutive trips into the local Post Office with a fapping great alloy wheel under your arm.
  6. Great to see you back in a Scoob Lindsay. I'm hopefully not far behind you.
  7. I was just going to chip in that it looked like a Maersk boat. Nice stoppers Jools, and cracking attention to detail having the discs machined to tie-in with the fronts.
  8. Willie, i can no longer edit my profile. I went overboard one day and did it about 5 times and now i can't do it at all, just get a forum error. ERROR: An error occurred while evaluating the expression: text = left(newtext, tagfind2-1) Error near line 240, column 8. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parameter 2 of function Left which is now "-1" must be a positive integer The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFSET), occupying document position (240:2) to (240:41).
  9. Lol, that's my first weekend back so i'll try and pop up.
  10. What about a special discount price for back-to-your-roots C20LET's?
  11. Is there a week and half-long echo in Aberdeenshire?
  12. Saw it on 22B. Would be great to see a 9 second Scottish Scoob.
  13. Perhaps if i had 10k's worth of car to trade in. Don't think anyone will give me that for the Cav though, do you?
  14. Spec C is tempting as is T&C's offer on a new PPP STi. It really has to be a classic for the £ factor though, something lightweight.
  15. Nope, see here. Time for a change! A few more detals all as of when i sold it... White MY98 PPP Circa 116,000 miles MOT expired in August (not sure if renewed) TAX i think was October
  16. Well it's back up for sale. From what i gather the new owner has given it a coat of paint and generally tidied it up a little. Here's the text i got this morning... Hi carl.due to change of plan im having to sell car.if u hear of anyone looking give me a shout please even if i only get 4 grand ish or il px maybe .thanks Decode that how you wish although it shounds as though there could be a bargain to be had. The car is in Bo'Ness now and the new owner is a chap called Glen, his number is 07977 126172. I'm a little suspicious as to why it's back up for sale so quickly but thought i'd post here incase anyone was on the lookout anyway. See the link in my signature for all the spec and history you could wish for on the car.
  17. Unlike most of the guys here i'm not into the drilling or services side of the industry, i'm an operations technician. I was lucky enough to get myself into the BP appreticeship scheme when i was 18 and will complete my 'designate' period offshore next year. I have had two years in the North Sea so far, mostly spent on Miller although i have recently transferred to Bruce. Agree with Russell, the time away can be a wrench but the time at home can be quality time if spent correctly. Rather than go offshore last trip i spent a fortnight in the office (Mon-Fri 9-5) and i now know which i'd rather do on a full-time basis. Likewise my father worked 2-2 (although he was onshore based in Shetland/Norway/Denmark) throughout my childhood, it's the norm for a lot of children growing up in ABZ. I got put through my RGIT but it would show a keeness if you were to do it off your own back. As far as life offshore goes i found it pretty easy to get settled into. It's a wrench being away from friends and family but things are generally so busy the fortnight has passed before you know it. Martyn, you must've done a few scale squeezes on Milller? I don't think there's anyone who works for PSL that hasn't.
  18. Well here i am (still), sat in an office looking at a beautiful view of...erm Dyce? Not sure if it's better or worse than looking at the North Sea. This is bloody dedication for you all. Sandwiches in the desk ready for 'tea'. PS: you'd better not take the Michael out of my filthy black cab.
  19. I may work late and bring the taxi along. That's if i'm still welcome of course....
  20. Yup, pikies in two of the eight pads round my manor. The ones opposite have buggered off in the eyesore for a week now though. Peter, the Scooby went to help pay for that pile of bricks behind the Cavalier.
  21. Ach, it isn't too bad. It even feels a bit planted with the 4wd switched on - although still very much barge-like.
