I went for the Magnex 6x4 oval centre back to start with and then will sort a centre decat next payday... but I will need to fit that bit without the wife seeing I may have a look at the Induction kits whilst I'm there, not sure if they are worth it though.

I found the cheapest place online was a plce in Scarborough but I'm getting it from DT's for the same price and free fitting

excellent, wheres DT's ? Ive got an induction kit on mine, to be honest you would see very little gains with one, however they do make a lovely rasping noise

Not on Weds but Thursday and Friday travelling upto Wakefield. In the Primera both times though. Don't go to work in Scoob as sarcastic comments such as "you must be charging too much etc" always happened when in scoob. Easier and cheaper in Primera.

Daft question, is Mica red acutally red paint, or could it be black that has red specs in it?
Reason I ask is I have a black classic that has red in it and I was around tyldesley at that time (live there) mine has a big spoiler and sounds lovely.
I just want to be seen.................

aaaaah think it was me after all, I forgot I had been my dads in warrington and got home around about half six quarter to 7 ish. Same description (I am glad you were more interested in the car than the driver)

Yes, I think I can officially put this down to a sighting. Just need the sighter to be in a scoob as well now for a full on 100% sighting.

Was it the chinese that gives you loads of stuff?

It was that chinese. As regards a 100% sighting Lynne is certain that it was you who gave her her first wave when we first bought the scoob back in September 04. (No graphics then). So in effect you set off the trend for us waving at scoobs and more importantly causing us the embarrassment of looking like complete idiots when the other scoob driver looks at us as though we have gone completely barking (probably right though).

Sept 04 or Sept 05? Only been living in Tyldesley since Oct 04 so it wouldnt have been me in sept 04. However Sept 05 it is a possibility as I had passed the car a few times on I think it is called lower elliot street.
I look like an idiot all the time, think I have only ever had 1 wave, everyone else just looks blank and forlorn, miserable *******, specially around chesterfield

Was it a dark coloured BMW?

I'm asking this because I was being followed by one last Thursday night at around 9pm. I thought at first I was just being paranoid so I took few left and right turns before going back on the main road and the car was still following. I decided to take evasive action just to be on the safe side.
It might be the same people, or it might just have been somebody looking for a race.

I forgot to mention, I was travelling between Tyldesley, Atherton, Leigh, and back to Atherton.
