  1. Not intentionally jumping the gun on this (OK I lied I am face-icon-small-disgusted.gif ), but im on holiday between now and then and wanted to say that Im deffo going when the list comes up.

    As it is one of our 'Local' shows, do we want to organise a colour co-ordinated model/year display of cars? With a the Big KS flag of course.

    Only 25 Days away!

  2. Sorry to see that you are selling.

    Once in a while you get cars that put out vgood power with even the most basic mods.

    I know of one other local Silver 97' WRX that is putting out 320BHP on the standard ECU and Intercooler. You seem to have a similar 'lucky' car, with better mods and obviously more power. - Must be something they put in the water that year face-icon-small-happy.gif

    It will make a good purchase for someone.

  3. << OK everyone let's have a bit of fun, no prizes but give it your best go >>

    Im going straight to hell for this one:

    Shrek is saying whilst rubbing furiously with his hands - , 'I know we are on the beach, but I didn't expect to get crabs so quickly'

    face-icon-small-happy.gif

    Or Granby, 'I don't care how much they have had to drink, - I hate parties and i'm not joining the end of that conga-line behind us'.

    Or Shrek: 'So where did you drop my car keys????'

    Or best of all:

    Granby has just said to Shrek: - 'Y'know something?, Womens topless beach volley ball, takes some great hand -to-eye co-ordination.'

    To which Shrek is just replying: - ' Yes and playing it is probably harder!'' face-icon-small-shocked.gif

  4. Oooh Yes, I just hope the new car handles as well as the old one did.

    I enjoyed 'Evo worrying' face-icon-small-smile.gif

    1. Granby (+ track time)

    2. Sheepie (will offer to ride shot gun and film for you lol )

    4. barry+someone silly enough to get in with me.( i have a cage and harnesses!)

    5. Hol (hoping his keys don't come out of the ignition again mid corner face-icon-small-shocked.gif )

  5. << What a good turn out we had!! I think i won the wooden spoon for my "professional" wiring job, as pointed out by hol!

    ive got my cutters out now so have that fire extinguisher ready!!!! >>

    face-icon-small-blush.gif

    Oops, you know I meant it in the best possible way

    Im sure the wiring is fine and the wire colours you used were purposefully 'unique'. face-icon-small-tongue.gif

    Its certainly not the worse I have seen, which was a Nova whose entire stereo system was insulated with selotape. Lots of selotape face-icon-small-shocked.gif

  6. Having read all the above, I think I should be allowed to give both my thoughts and tell the story of ?Kent Scoobies.?

    When I got my second Scooby in early 2002, there was already a regular daytime Sunday Lunch Kent meet in a pub near Sevenoaks. (By all means do a search in Scoobynet under Southern Events/Pre2003 and you should find all the details).

    Having two very young children, a job requiring travel and no time at weekends, (thankfully left that job now!) I could not attend and decided to organise a more local meet (to me). After chatting with people like Arron I arranged a simple a evening meeting in the Formula One bar at a time of the month (3rd Friday) that did not clash with the Sevenoaks meet.

    That was the first time, I met the original ?others? like Pele & Lee, RB5Scott, Arron, Moles Dad, Megastream, AndT2000, GBruce, and GTB.

    Unfortunately, the much liked, Moles Dad died of a sudden heart attack later that year. As a mark of respect to the family we missed a months meeting out , - as it clashed with the funeral and we then missed the chance to organise any Xmas bash. I personaly felt it the right thing to do.

    The following month, I was working away on Business without email access and unable to post either a meeting or to email attendees, but Pele and Hades took the initiative to put up a post for the next meet.

    Pele and Hades, with my blessing due to business commitments, then took it in turns to arrange future meets, using my original mail list as a base.

    Bearing in mind that it was still just a regular ?Maidstone and District? meet at this time

    It was Pele (and Lee) who came up with the Kent Scoobies name,

    registered the web address,

    organised a Birthday celebration in August of 2003,

    stickers and T Shirts.

    (Hades himself having moved away from the area.)

    Calling Kent Scoobies a ?Formal? club is actually a great compliment to them all, considering it all started as an informal meeting of owners I cobbled together from scouring the 'was it you' pages for references to Kent areas. Medway, Maidstone, Gillingham, M20, M2 etc...

    .

    However, it takes more time than one person has, to make such a proper club work. A lot of car clubs I have been a member of have formal steering committees, with membership fees, ID numbers and treasurers/chairpersons etc..

    If that is what it takes, then that could be accommodated, but that means the people organising things have to agree to being that ?formally? involved.

    We have come closer to it, with Scoobytoo, being a surrogate events Co-ordinator. Now we need others to step up to the plate for either individual events or to completely own and organise things like T-Shirts, on behalf of all.

    I can think of some good candidates for some of these, based on either commitment and association with the group over a period of time. But it certainly isn?t down to me, to say if that is the way to go. I laid the seeds in the M&D meet, I wasn?t around to cultivate them into the KS!

    I know we would all like to compare ourselves to the ESC (But without the Bling ;p), but lets face it. We don?t have as many members, a mecca venue like Southend, to attract people, 2 or 3 specialist tuners in the county or their group structure. All that helps!

    And Lasertag gets my vote too!

  7. Cheers Joe. - All gone now though face-icon-small-sad.gif

    I think the final pictures do show what difference a facelift bumper and spoiler make.

    I have attached a side shot I have just found of me trial fitting some OZ Super L's I had before I bought the P1 rims. Like you I decided against a light (non Blue) car and Gold wheels.

    Also a wheel picture I must have lifted from STI when I sold them.

    Dirtmonkey, to be honest, I dont think you could get then in 17 or 18 from STI, with the genuine carbon centre caps. You can get some similar looking ones in the BBS style though.

  8. Old Pictues of my TypeR the week I first got it.

    The rims are STI BBS Wheels indetical to the 22B, but designed for the standard body shell cars and had exactly the same centre caps as the 22b Rims. You could buy them from STI in Japan.

    The only problem with the was.... They were 16's. I ended up selling them to a guy in the states.

    I wanted 17's.

    See attached.
