Stephen,

as Martin said, Town End Garage out the back of Carnforth are a specialist Jap Import and rally prep garage - I have spent money there and service was impressive, they even washed my car for me

Graeme and all other Southern Northerners As the meet up point is "somewhere" in Carlisle, how about we all meet up at the services just after Junction 35 (Northbound ) - they are called Burton-in-Kendal services. Please note NOT the services before Lancaster as I would have to drive to Preston to come all the way back up again

Again, as the meet up time is "somtime" around 10:30am, how about meeting up at said servies at 9:30am so we can have a coffee before commencing battle

See you all there, Jon & Tia

 

Good to see the southern {northern} raiders are getting organised for the raid!!
there is optimax at 30 miles into the raid but NO SUPER UNLEADED on the RAID !!!


i suggest if you need super you come off at junction 42 go just past tesco and the garage is on the RHS 0.5 miles off the M6 after filling head back for the M6 then up to J44 for the RAID starting point.

you wlll need fuel for aprox 150 miles depending how much you drink!!


7 days to go *****************

 

Jon & Tia what the hell is a southern northerner??? only joking mate, I'll see you there about 9:30ish ps did you get my mail?

 

Hello Terry

Got your mail, PMSL @ MPEG & ROFL @ ...wish it was before my time Is Robert coming with you? give me a bell and we can have a chat about sorting something out if you like

Do you want to meet up before Burton-in-Kendal or shall I see you and Martin up there?

Later, Jon

What's you your route, and how far north into Scotland do you plan to come.

There is interest in an ambush up here in Glasgow!!!!

I'm off to sharpen my sword!!

 

All the RAIDERS are fully tooled up

I spot an oxymoron in your last post John

 

Hi lordharding and Jon aka Festa

Sorry for the slow response but I generally don't login everyday.
Normally login when the wife is watching Eastenders...!!!

Anyway thanks for the invite for the 'Raid'. What are the details for Sunday?
How many people/cars?
How far?

Cheers

Bry

 

Hello Bry, glad you could join us

Depends where abouts in Cumbria you are but I understand the meeting point to be "somewhere" in Carlisle at 10:30 - John to expand further - but I will be coming up from Lancaster with others to meet at Burton-in-Kendal services at 9 - 9:30 before running up the M6 to meet the others.

Where abouts in Cumbria are you?
Cheers, Jon

 

hi rusty whats an oxymoran?
(not been a university graduate )

hi bry
and for anyone else who doesnt know where the start point is


Sunday 24 November 2002


the Holliday inn carpark
kingstown car park

come off the motorway at j 44 thats the top one for carlisle (north) turn for Carlisle and get in your right hand lane (if you look to your right you will see the hotel ) turn right at the first set of traffic lights signposted superstore (asda) and retail park,
as you turn you will see a large retail park with currys comet PC-world and homebase on the RHS turn in there and ignore the car park on the left and the right and head for the holliday inn carpark and lesure club head for the front of the hotel and you will see all the scoobs parked there!!!!


i will be there for 10 AM and look forward to seeing you all up to 1030 ish!
of course we will not be departing untill rusty arrives with his southern - northern convoy of RAIDERS !!!!

probably first group will set off at 1045 with 7 minute intervals for the next.

is everyone clear on where to meet?

is everyone who is going registered yet on here?
(as i have to book the number of meals for the RAIDERS)

is everyone fired up??

 

Hi Lordy

Count me IN again for the start....special dispensation! I have explained to wifey how many man hours these things take to organise and the blood sweat and sacrifices entailed by yourself (those kielder stages must have been hard!!).

Can you "leak" the route etc sometime as I need to fit it in with the famly trip to Harry Potter movie which I can't escape from.

Midlife.....

(exhaust toothbrush cleaning starts tomorrow) PS anybody any ideas about the best thing to clean my Magnex exhaust back to gleaming ??

 

Phew, I can have a lie in then - see you all at 12

Oxymoron - two words used in the same sentence that contradict each other e.g. military inteligence (name the film...) go back and have a look at your post and work it out

 

Midlife, glad to see you are joining us again

I find cotton buds are good for cleaning very large chrome'd exhausts

 

well RAIDERS

it looks like 23 (yes twenty three ) cars are attending the RAID on sunday. ill put up the final list on thursday night any more lurkers out there , you are wellcome to attend !!
nice to see a few sports and an EVO 7 as well

 

i willl pop up and say ello before you set off for your raid as feeling very sore but would like to put faces to posts, that may not be that a good idea must be on the mend after me crash steve ps return still not working

 

hi john think i`m gonna have to miss this one as i had an expensive weekend in newcastle on the pi$$(£70 was drunk well it is dear over there ) if i can get my ar$e out of bed i`ll pop up and see everone before you set off, only live down the road

regards mike

 

Big up for stan Parmers of carlisle. Seem to know there stuff , thanks for the recomendation chaps they are the best or one of the best subaru dealers i have come across. used 7 dif dealers over the years ( owned a scoob of some sort for over 5 years ) Steve

 

My Fugly is now Eibached and ready to roll!

Steve

 

steve, i had that done to my01 wrx , did handle alot better , have u noticed any dif? steve

 

Steve - where did you get it done, TSL? Did you get the geometry done at the same time?

 

Yep and Yep but did you meen me ?? prob steve not steve

 

Hello Stephen, no I ment Steve

BTW - how do you rater TSL? I have heard nothing but praise for them, especially from MaTTeL - what a stunning motor he has

 

Dyslexic so not sure who I am TSL great set up , not cheep but you pays what you get . I have had a fair bit of work done there, brakes ,tarty bits geo, springs and a gear **** !! Only one slight hic up was when they tried to sort my exhaust out . scooby sport sorted the problem at the time as TSL don't deal with the type of exhaust i was after. steve would use them

 

I had it done by a local company (for local people ). The geometry was set to Prodrive settings and Sunday will be it's baptism of fire. All I've done in it so far is drive home from work and up the drive which was a relief as it's quite steep!

Steve

 

FASTER MIKE !! get your credit card out for the fuel 7 gallons of fuel £25 tops &£5 for decent bar meal !!!
you might pull a scottish virgin on the RAID !!!
