Depends on which lender you're going with mate. A certain one based in the North East probably won't get you an offer out until the day before your retirement party.....

23? That's not what Helen said on The Run v1....

Hey Sticky....

Tried an Evo Lite this morning, ie the 260... Bit toooo lite, I'm afraid....

But at least it didn't dance all over the road like the MY04 STI that I had a go at a bit later. Having said that, I did rather like the STI, especially as this one had a few 'bits' on it....

Hi Dazza mate. Well, TBH it felt a bit anaesthetised, if you see what I mean. Too detached from the performance. The steering is a bit uncommunicative, and it seemed though it was built as a flashy mode of transport for rich Monaco women.... Although I suppose that has a sort of appeal...

The performance wasn't as towering as I'd expected. Decent-ish punch low down, but very linear, so no STI PPP type kick when you're trying hard.

The ride was comfortable, and no real issues with the handling, although on a mildly greasy road, it seems very eager to swap ends, at least until the DSC reins it in again. Which was probably the best bit of the whole test.

In truth, it's a very efficient machine, with a lovely metallic engine note, a good degree of sophistication and it would make a nice 'commuting' vehicle. But it left me cold.....

Guys, a bit O/T, but I'm sure you'll all want to join us (me & her) in wishing Dazza and family all the best for their newest addition. Brogan (not sure of the spelling) arrived today, just before lunch. Mother and baby girl are both fine. For all the ladies out there she weighed 6lbs 9oz (I'm sure Dazza will fill us all in as soon as he gets chance.)

All the best to the four of you.

Andy & Ella

Congratulations to Neve & Dazza. Best wishes from us both to the whole family and especially to baby Brogan. Guess the WYIOC Run will be a head wetting

Well done Dazza and Neve

You're getting nearer to having a full pit crew for trackdays... - one at each corner for the wheel changes

not been around much due to work, but first off a big congrats to Dazza, hope all are well. will really try to make the next meet/run out but depends on work.

dont know if I mentioned but thanks for the contacts Dave, I managed to get the sensor from a guy up north for £35+VAT, much better than the £300 from Subaru.

And to answer your question Al, it sounds amazing fully decatted

OK team here goes...

WOW... glad i didn't have to do that... thats all i can say...

Funny moments...
Midwife..."My your tight down there"

To which, "hope it stays that way" missed the laughter spot somewhat...

Any how she did the deed @ 11:49 after only 1 hour of pushing...

I honestly would have lasted at the most 10mins!
God girls I've no idea how you do that!

Brogan and Neeve are fine now, they came home at 5.50pm...

so here are a few pics...

One the first Pic we took... Image your first EVER photo.. First ride in a scooby on the way hme too
The other a proud sister...

Hope to introduce her to you all soon, and thanks for the messages...

A warm thankyou from as all...

Seems from the top pic she's got the "I'm bored with this already" look sorted and "what's all the fuss about?"

Sorry Dazza, but in that last pic it looks like she's given birth to Yoda, in fact, our lass says she's the dead spit of you.
