Opted for the £25 package pretty much for the SShop savings, and the fact I have something in the for sale section that I was selling. Unfortunately, they made it FOC for the General for sale the day after I Purchased!! I'll get my money' worth in savings this year though I am sure. I want wheels and tyres at some point this year, AP-6 pot brakes and, erm... who knows what else...

Andy Apple.... Cheeky..

Yep, my track pictures with standard springs. Almost on three wheels on two piccies... As I am not into fancy finger nails, I have no idea what you mean by the way....

Alan again....

Yes, and I need the Prodrive spring kit...

DAC - Yeah mate, come along. I've added your name.

 

OK Guys.. The new 'West Yorkshire Impreza Owners Club' web site is now up.

A big thanks to Maddy for the work he's put in. IMHO he's done a fantastic job and is something we can be pretty proud of.

At the moment only Maddy and I are members, it now needs all of you to visit the site and 'request' membership. You can visit as a 'guest' and look around regardless, but most of the interactive functionality will be disabled to you.

Some pointers first.. First off, the site has only Maddy's and my input on looks and functionality. This website is for us ALL, so feel free to comment. Maddy will make any changes that we feel are required.

Again, IMHO it needs nothing done. I very much like it's modern, easy, relaxed and clear interface. It even has a relaxed 'character' and a sense of humour.

Membership: Full membership is currently only for active visitors to 'The Bridge'. Full membership allows you to interact with the site, post car and personal details to personal areas as well as chat, add events and post news and reviews etc.... A gallery and other areas exists so that you can send Maddy your pictures for posting.

How to request membership: When you click on the link, there is a small triangle at the bottom right of the screen. Click on this and you will see a menu popup at the bottom.

Click on the 'Login To Site'
Click on the 'Create New Account'.

Fill in the Username, password and re-confirm password and Maddy and I will be sent an e-mail. We will grant membership and you will then have full functionality. The reason we wanted to keep it tight at this time is so that we only post for the member's benefit and tailored to suit us. We can broaden this in the near future if we think it necessary

To help with the running (which is nothing really, as long as we keep it simple) we are looking for 'Administrators' who can add users and stuff to the site (calendar mainly) and delete posts etc.. If you want to have this sort of participation let me or Maddy know. Off line if you wish.

Once your in, have a play with it and upload your details etc when you get granted access.

There are bound to be few snags as people come on board, so please be patient and let us know if there are problems and Maddy will sort them out.

Once we've had test run, whcih will give us plenty to talk about at the next meet, I'll post a seperate thread announcing our arrival on the web.

The link is.... http://www.wyioc.co.uk/ enjoy!

 

just checked out the site and it looks sweet! well done maddy looks great. just made a login on there, i await mail!

 

It looks very good chaps. Nice one Maddy and Alan...

I have just registered for access. I hope that "YorkshireSimon" can pass go and collect £200

Cheers

Ah ha, just noticed my Scooby Doo in track action against the 13 March diary item... Woo hoo...

S

Back on topic now, shut up Simon

 

If I had remembered to turn the members polling option on (this stella artois is good stuff)

Well the good news is that it's now working as intended, which means if you had registered yesterday them simply log back on to the site, choose the white triangle in the bottom right-hand corner to pop the command bar up.

Ensure that you have logged in (you'll see your user name on the command bar if you have logged in correctly) then click on [join this site]. Alan and I hopefully will then receive a mail to which we can aprove membership.

If you didn’t register yesterday then follow Alan's instructions as there much easier.

Sorry about that guys Any probs then let me know

Cheers

Maddy

 

looking good Maddy,

Signed up last night

Phil

 

Maddy - looks great Mate! Thanks from everybody!! Am I being daft, but I can't see the 'Add' button for the Member's List.....

Cheers, HB.

 

The add button becomes active once your membership has been approved, I looked for an Harry boy on the pending members list this morning but could'nt see you mate, Have you registered for membership, If so under what account name ?.

Cheers

Maddy

 

Lovely though the new site is, could I politely request a return to the topic, and suggest a new thread for discussion of our new website.

 

Dave - are you honorary Mod Mate? Hint taken!!

 

Corrado Boy, could you please add me to the Rally day list. I've still got a bit of rubber left that needs melting before my new rims arrive.

Talking of which a peice of advice for anyone who has not been on a track day before and is worried about there tyres. If you drop the psi in road tyres you will get more movement in the tread pattern. They will heat up too much and that will eat into tyre wear. You’ll almost certainly ruin them without gaining any advantage in grip.

So the best thing to do is make sure you have the standard preasure, drive at a comftable pace it's not a race, and you'll still have bags of fun without the worry of a new set of rubber.



Cheers

Maddy

ps, thanks for the piccies mate

 

My Fault..

New thread started..

 

Maddy, your in

 

cb - cheers

I am considering a 227bhp (360Nm) ecu upgrade

might be interesting

 

Any room for a south yorkshire lad???????

 

scoobchrissy, your on the list

 

Put me down. Sounds like a bit of fun.

 

Hmmm sounds like a good day out count me in
Chrissy, have you still got your old wheels? if so can i borrow them

 

Marx Mcrae & supertouring are added, cheers guys.

 

Can I just add that on the way from BAWTRY to GAINSBOURGH (A631) there is a new 50MPH speed limit, and there are now speed cameras ALL the way. They are the ones that detect your average speed!!

Marx

 

Back to the top for the weekend. Come on, let's have some more for a great day depriving the planet of Optimax

 

Stick me down please.

Cheers

TONY

 

CB, yes that was a yes.

It might be the last chance I get to try and kill the car before it goes to some more deserving owner.

Sticky

 

sorry CB but i cant make that weekend pretty gutted bet it would have been fun. Sorry for the inconvinience if youve put my name down. Sticky you gettin rid of your car then??

 

Tony & Sticky, you're on. Nick, sorry you can't make it.

Well, we've made the magic 10. Still no suggestions about some sort of shelter or barbeque. I'll see if my mums gazebo thing can be used, but if anyone else has any ideas please field them.

How many might be interested in tuition from Howard? I know SteveChaps was, but is there anyone else wants to join him to split the $150 cost. I've had 3 sessions with him, so I'm not too bothered, but will join in to keep the costs down per individual if necessary.

 

I'd be interested in the tuition, cos I know nowt. I'd have thought everyone would have been up for it, must have some McRae's in attendance

Nick, sorry you can't make the day. I've been waiting for you popping round for a drink since you first said you would. Thinking of moving up to a Spec-C, or an (swearing alert) Evo8, or something with 300+. Any suggestions, anyone?

Quite fancy a Noble, but they're a tad too expensive at the moment, by about £15K, plus I've owned a V6 Mondingo before

Tough decision, but a nice dilemma to have!

Sticky

 

Hi guys

Can i come along too? Me and my mate in his P1 so it'd be two cars

 

Franko and friend added, cheers
