A couple of names spring to mind, MRM Coachworks in Edinburgh ( beside MurrayField Stadium ) done work on the some of mates stuff a few years ago, very good. Steve Walkers Bodyshop in Bathgate, Whiteside Industrial Est IIRC opposite the Royal Mail depot, done a complete respray for me a few years ago plus some one of custom work on my 309GTi. Excellent but generally very busy. John.

Corsa, it isn't quite as bad as you think, the headlight can come by removing the grille then 3 IIRC bolts, all of which can be accessed from the engine bay, try a search on here or the other place for De-tangoing an '03 car. John.

cannae make this one back offshore just a couple of days before John.

Thats one mean and moody lookin picture of Spooks John.

Ok then how about Cavvy transfer box v's scooby engine. Only kidding we all know which would go first John.

<< Hey, Grant, She was 315 when it was @ 1.2 bar Shes now running 1.6 Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye >> So should be 350/360 'ish now at least Jamie, NICE John.

Nice one lads, Spooks let me know if you need a hand with anything, I might be able to get some free-time occasionally John.

Yeah, could have a race to who pops an engine first, the Cavvy's chocolate cams or the scoob's chocolate pistons John.

Yup, damn fine weekend, haven't been for a few years though and don't think I'll be going this year either, too soon to start taking Junior to the shows ( he's only 4 weeks old ) There are usually some really nice cars on show and some of the Hot Rods are just amazing when you start looking at the detail they guys go to. If you hang around until the Sunday afternoon there's usually some really good bargains to be had from some of the stalls John.

Like Brian said big changes at DRIVE - now Morrisons, IIRC Spooks was looking into this. What happened about the MLR Vs SIDC Karting event? did it fall through? John.

RE-30's have been the subject of much debate, basically most people think they are kack on the Impreza. The new 70's are the ones fitted to the '05 cars IIRC and are getting a very good report. John.

Very its pretty easy to set the cars up for drifting, basically lock the rear diff and play around with the cambers used to be able to do it a bit on indoor tracks with my offroad buggy, never tried it with a touring car though, to get the cars to drift like that in the clip takes a huge amount of skill. You can actually buy the "Drift Spec" kits now from one or two of the manufacturers, IIRC Yokomo do one with a choice of bodies. John.

Anybody know how it is on the West of Shetland side? John.

Could have murdered a Kebab but totally forgot due to having the Wee Man to take home, John you think you felt bad how do you think I felt at 5am when somebody wanted a feed. John.

Happy new year to all. John,Kirsty&Cameron

Yup, the cars can be modded IIRC hotter motors stickier tyres and stronger magnets John.

Good phone call Jamie John.

BBBOOOOIIIINNNGGGGGG Whats happened to WLS haven't heard from him in while, I bet you if we shout GUINNESS three times really loud he turns up John.

Very tempting can't believe it though, there seems to be some appeared on Ebay already. John.

Thanks Grovit, both are doing fine John, have you took the E8 back yet? if not tell Andy "the salesman" he still owes me a few favours and I want a L200 Animal or Shogun Sport at an old friends price Good write up on the E8 BTW still don't think its enough for me to change from the scooby though, don't think I could be bothered with the 4500 mile service intervals. John.

Nice collection quite like the E8 but Mitsi need to ditch those Maxy P lights. John.

Thanks Richard, yup Isobel is very happy to say the least and my Dad is well chuffed as he's fed up being the only man around when I'm offshore . It is a great name isn't it John, it is a bit messy to say the least, the midwife asked if I wanted to see his head and I declined and said I'd rather wait for the rest of him to appear. Whats this about an E8?? John.

Ohhhh go on then 1. WRXMania (Brian). 2. Stevo-STi (Steve) 3. Evojkp (John) 4. Stiks (Keith) 5. Thomohawk (Scott) 6. Mr NTS (John)

Yup, snow in Bathgate, the roads/pavements are soaking wet though so don't think it'll lie. John

Depending on dates I should be up for it, just need to give Jamie a phone call first Jamie I'll "hopefully give you phone inbetween Xmas / New Year " John.
