  1. Whoohoo! - Some else older than me
  2. Two on my way to work...!! A228 Rochester Saw this on SN. http://bbs.scoobynet.com/you-9/564764-two-...-rochester.html
  3. Very good! I still prefer the american singer.
  4. You need a longer bed, a softer headboard, or wear your crash helmet![]
  5. Who was Bob Dunn. He has a road named after him? Is he famous? What did Bob Dunn do? Where did Bob do it? What has Bob Dunn Done? Where is Rolf's 'Dijjery doo'???
  6. Hey, we drink off the 'Boulevard' Posh innit!

    Mesh grilles

    Most breakers will have them now. £30 tops, although try and get a P1/Blue one for yours to save even more. They are direct replacement as you came imagine: Before plastic surgery: After (Full facelift):
  8. Glad you like it. Welcome to Kent (and Medway) Scoobies! Where in Chatham are you (Don't be too specific). We have a few local members in Walderslade and Lordswood, some in Rainham and Gillingham and also some in Rochester.
  9. I agree, the bugeye lights are hideous as standard but, if like Sheepie you change them to something like Morettes, the look is transformed. Plus, bugeyes of the X and Y registrations are very good value as everyone wants the new style plates. The only other advice is to think in advance what you would like to do to 'a' car when you get it, modification wise. Then try and get a car with as many laready on it. It WILL save you loads. I know you have said no JDM's, but what you can save in tuning and haggle in price, covers the additional 2-3 years insurance.
  10. As the weather is so bad, the under nines football matches are all cancelled today, so what shall I do instead? [:S] Some DIY Finally fit may 'ahem' garage door opener to the font of the scooby (Need to take the bumper of now I have fromnt mount [:'(] ) Play Scalextrics with the kids Sit on SIDC all day Decisions, decisions.
  11. I have one happy and one unhappy fan in this house! Im neither! []

    Mesh grilles

    For your car, I would say Subaru for the proper WR1 grill first before trying one of the copies.
  13. Its the downside to tuning Paul. You uprate the engine, and the gearbox lets go. You uprate the gearbox and the next thing to be hit will be the driveshafts/bearings/bushes. But, that all comes down to your driving and what level of mechanical sympathy. you have for your car. The only consolation I can give you is that I am running the same torque on my 6 speed (including standard clutch) with no problems. But, I never do fullbore first gear starts! (I wait until 2nd! [] )
  14. Owws it hanging dude? Got my first works do up in the Tower of London on Monday. Then I have the next one on Friday. The wife hates this time of year as Im always pished! []
  15. Good choice to get a UK one. It has the 1-5 gears ratios of a classic TypeR and the 6th gear ratio is the same as the UK Classic 5 Speed 5th gear (25mph/1000rpm). Best of both worlds!
  16. I think this whole thread is very sexist [:S] Anyway, the important question is why women have such small feet???? It's so they can get closer to the sink! Now I have stirred that up a bit, im off! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
  17. Saw Dunks 8.00pm-ish tonight, giving me a funny look in my Ford Escort (train station car!) as I passed him slowly whilst looking interested at the car.( Oh no, not another nutter in a GTI! [] ) All the way along the M2 from gillingham to Bluebell hill. It proves a point - Noone pays attention to the Ford. Park a Subaru in the train station and - bye-bye!!!!!!!!!
  18. yes got the note thanks[Y], was shopping for bits for our new house. don't do xmas shopping untill xmas eve!! I think I was in the same 'at home' shop at the same time as you. Came away with a whole load of tack.
  19. Nearly forgot, but spotted Scoots car in Aylesford on Sunday. Left you a note, dunno if youi got it? Either going to Halfords, or Xmas shopping like us. I was in the 'car park car' [] so you would not have known it was me, save the KS sticker on the back.
  20. I was clearing off some files from my PC and came across pictures of the first ever meet some 4 years ago at the Formula One cafe. Not very good quality as the digicam was not up to todays standards. The late/great Moles Dad (On the left, with Megastream and RB5Scott and his dubious trousers!) Mark (GTB) Inside, and more of Scotts Daz whiter than white leg warmers [] Some outside.(again, sorry for the quality)
  21. I have tried to think of good reasons (excuses) for my lowly 371bhp this time round, what do you think? The cat ate my dump valve. Something must be loose as I DID have a misfire at 4000rpm. I have 'mega-rom' , which means individual maps per gear, rather than an average. 6th & 5th Gear (used for the RR) would now be lower boost/less agressive that 1 to 4, the accellerating gears.(Need to confirm that - but sounds good!) There was a dead horse in the road and I could not get past There was leaves on the rollers. I had a dodgy kebab the night before. All credible reasons in my book.
  22. Can you see the car park from inside the pub? How far from Macdonalds drive in is it??? []
  23. Finally! Got home. Good point! WHY are I still typing away!?? ??
  24. Been waiting to see if the 8th clashes with anything and unfortunately it coincides with my Kids footie party for families of the team, and the kids really want to go. I had a meal up town with some guys I used to work with, that I was already blowing out aw, well. Xmas is just mad for people coming out of the woodwork!
