i need snow, gotta test the new shaft lol

car park here is coverd but its a bit dubious about having enough room to get around, tempted tho lol

 

Glad the cars fixed Micky, sounds like you may need a high pressure header cap if you're losing coolant

 

its coming from the header tank itself!
i saw a tiny pinhole from the part where the cap screws on, the tube thing it screws to joins the main tank and its went at the join

strange, forge will do me proud

 

Dan,

Class photo's................It's always nice to seem someone enjoying their car

Keep it up

Martin

 

Well another fun day driving a 7.5ton rear wheel drive TNT wagon around Alnwick, Boulmer and Belford and all the untreated twisties that are a bit straighter now. Cant wait to get the Type R back on the road.

Martin you cant say things like that on the this BBS Thingy. What you should say is nice to see you enjoying the controllability of your car in a nice and safe empty carpark. Not the field at the NBO LOL.

Nice to see you back Paul. Have you got the corsa sorted yet.

Also very very big welcome to Clare. Another female member. If we keep going like that we can start the WTTS. (Womens Tyne Tees Scoobies).

 

must of mis read that John.....................
could of sworn it said "with T%TS........................????

or have i just got that wrong??
LOL

 

SubtypeR,

Are you trying to tell us something? From your welcome to Clare, you make it sound as if you are of the femine nature. Would you like to clarify?



Martin

 

Mornin All,

Hope we are all well this morning.

Martin

 

Just on my way to put another 12 hours in at work

DEKA

been playing defender

 

Morning all, another frosty start to the day

 

I could never master that one..... now Missile Command and Galaxian...... there's another story!

Paul

 

Richie.. how did you play your STi back box with the insurance peeps.... The wifey (to my gobsmacked surprise) has said she'll get me one for my birthday in a few weeks but I don't know whether I need to declare it to Norwich Union with it being a Standard Scoobie Part (albeit not on a WRX!)

Paul

 

Morning all

Keeping fingers crossed for later

Paul

Paul

 

Hi all,
Living in Newcastle area and had my my99 green scooby for about 2 weeks now and loving every minute of driving it...and looking at it!!!.

However, some advice please, as it is still under warranty (12mths) where would you lot recommend to having it serviced, CD BRAMMAL is quite close by (Benton) but is just a new franchise so will they have time served scoob technicians/mechanics, has anyone used them.

And also, im in the process of trying to decide which gauges to buy for the scoob, not greddy though as they are way too expensive so can anyone recommend a set of gauges and also a place that will fit them, have had dealings with revolution motorsport and seemed to be ok..

Many Thanks
Rick

 

Hi Rick,

I think most of the guys on here would recommend both Revolution Performance Motorstore and AS Performance in Birtley. Both will sort you out a good deal.

Why not join the rest of the Tyne Tees Scoobies at their monthly meet on the first Tuesday of each month at The Dun Cow, Bournmoor (Just off the A1 Chester le Street junction). Meet in Carpark at 7:30pm.

Cheers

Martin

 

are we still on for the boro - meet?

it will be last one unfortunatley - I have a new contract in London

 

Shame You can still keep in touch on here though !!!!!

Paul

 

****EN ****

carwash takings are down, down, down due to the snow

i made £2.46 commision yesterday PMSL £9 on sunday and £10 today
least the valets are still steady

im told the car wash will go nuts as soon as the snow all thaws out compleatly

 

CD Brammel is a load of **** IMO, they wont even talk to you unless they think you have a uk car (i park mine round the corner and use uk chassis numbers)

goto revolution or as performance or sumthing for service work
does it need a good valet

 

Gravel,

Boro meet is still on for tomorrow

Cheers

Martin

 

Hi Martin and the gang.

I thought you knew Martin I am definitely a lesbian (NOT INTERESTED IN GUYS AT ALL)ask any female LOL.

Cant agree anymore with what Mickey has said. CD BRAMMAL are a Waste of time. They cant even give you 5litres of oil without a chassis number. I have been using Gilesgate and Dennis Common. They both know I got an import and aslong as i know what I am ordering they dont mind selling me it.

Cant make the Triple Six meet still waiting for some fairly lairy parts coming from a couple of suppliers for the TART MOBILE.

Richie Did the funds go into your Swiss Offshore bank account.

Paul you gonna love it when that white stuff gets your way. It was snowing pretty heavy around the Morpeth area but when you get to Seahouses and Boulmer not a spot.

Mickey you need to get a franchise up near Alnwick loads of filthy cars up there matey.

Had a fantastic laugh today. Was parked delivering in Alnwick and a woman reversed her Rover 45 right into the steel reinforced corner of my wagon. She then got out and checked the car missing the 2 foot gash she had ripped open in her left rear wing. I quickly pointed it out and said as there was no damage on the wagon we should exchange insurance details and get some pictures of the damage.

This is the best bit she replied AAAHHH Dont worry about it. Its my husbands Car.

 

One long holiday??

You're just jealous!!!! LOL

12 hours a day, 7 days a week for four weeks......nee holiday .....honest!!!!

I miss half of the TTS meetings and usually anything else that I might be even slightly interested in!!!

We've left Las Palmas now and are en-route to Norway. No stops along the way.

Ah well!! Just think of the money!!!!

Marty

 

Marty,

Only 12 hours a day..........that leaves another 12 hours to top up your tan

Are you going to bring your mates anything nice back with you?

Martin

 

i wish i could catch up with you boys, who organises this meet, can you pm me as I run another car tipo meet and we could possibly do something together as I have a professional photographer coming to one of our meets in may

 

No problems with just the back box, didn't cost anything extra with Admiral.

John, can't access my bank account online, Barclays seemed to be knackered at the minute.

Agree with Micky, CD Bramell are ****, even have a notice up in the parts dept telling them not to sell to importsW@nkers
Also had the part number for the Prodrive battery brace and they started to question me Gestapo style about how I got it and that it didn't exist.

Got to Revolution or AS Performance(Alyn Stockton - stockcar)

 

Barclays working again and not received anything yet.
