Thanks to Tiny for all the long hours cutting/pasting/phoning/texting & doing all the other stuff that he does in the background that got this event up & running so smoothly.

Also thanks to the clipboard man for standing out in the wind for most of the day doing what men with clipboards do. Makes a change from standing on street corners.

Well done Tiny!

The car feels GREAT! So much more 'planted' and the cornering is greatly improved. Should have done this mod ages ago!

Springs fitted, alignment done & it all feels top of the range, like yourself tiny ( & the sausage sarnies).

Definitely a top mod to have done by a top team.

Thanks again tiny you make this organising lark look easy.

The day was great, maybe a little long, but good none the less!!
Hales and I were there before 7:50, soon followed by Kin Quick, so we managed to see the last part of the F1 on Elite's BIG SCREEN!!

The Wheels look good, the tyres feel even better, and the alignment is something else, feels so much better!!

Thanks to Tiny for arranging another top day!

I'm beginning to like them now!

Thanks for all the positive comments peeps , Glad that it all went well , Was a little aprehensive about it all , But imho the day could not of went any better .

Thanks so much to everyone who turned up on the day , There was only 1 Guy on the list who did not show Or Bother to contact me ..

Massive thanks from Me & The crew to Barry Eldridge & His Dad( Owner of Elite) I know your reading this For the very proffesional manner that was shown from the minute that you enter the showroom & The care taken by all the fitters , Whilst carrying out work on our cars ..

This was the work that was carried out on the day ..

46 No Cars Had 4 Wheel laser alignment / Cambers adjusted if needed.

12 Cars had new tyres fitted all round

8 Cars had Eibach springs fitted all round

Really was a MASSIVE effort from all @ Elite to get all this work completed by 4-15pm !!

& To all of you who turned up on time , TBH The time slots went a little bit out of the window , But sure that you would all agree that it was best as it was all allocated across the day .. Also only showing 3 Align/ Camber bays on here & Having 4 Bays operational on the day was a sweet move

Was speaking with the Guy's @ Elite after everyone had gone .. This really was a great day for them as well .. They remarked on what a great bunch of peeps we all were & Amazed @ how well the cars were turned out , Was funny seeing the valeters face as we all arrived in the car pk , Every single scooby spotless , Poor guy soon went home , After cleaning Ed's engine for a Fiver .

This day will be arranged again maybe in another 9-12 Months , Sure that we can get a few more people sorted on the day again as well , Also Elite looking @ Putting on a bit of entertainment for us as well .

The Boss Is going to be speaking with Elite again this week as to with regard to the great tyre prices that they sorted for us on this day , & Hopefully a deal will be sorted so that SIDC / ESC Members can benifit from this Discount all year round .

Ladies in the cafe .. Great Job !! Sure that i kept you busy let alone anyone else !! Rinsing me for all my loose change as well !! Never tasted a better saus ,egg ,Bacon Sarnie & The service was polite & Efficient as well , Thanks for opening up on the Sunday for us as well .

One other person !! Yes that man in the ORANGE JACKET Cornilius .. Big thanks to you as well mate .. Know we all had a laugh about ya , But there again without you helping out this day would not of been the success that it was , Was great to see you pouncing on every scoob as it arrived in the car pk , Even if they did all say .. WHO ARE YOU ?? !! To keep this ESC Thingy going it needs Members like you .. Thanks

Enjoy driving the scooby guy's.. Really does make alot of Difference !! Great Mod for not really alot of Money !!

Till next time ..............

I wasn't there on this day but it looks to have gone down really well - testament to the organisation.

It's good for the club to get a good rapour with local businesses as it will benefit us all in the long run.

Tiny ... if you could let me know about that tyre deal as I need new rubber now.

A little late, but a big WELL DONE to Tiny for organising this, although I could have done without finding out all my wheels were buckled... never mind, all part of the fun of owning a scooby and even with buckled wheels it's handling a lot better than it was... Also a big up to the guys at Elite, as always very professional and efficient and thanks to the ladies in the cafe for entertaining Jake - he thinks you're 'lovely ladies' and talked about you all the way home

i hope the entertainement i provided when i arrived and left was good enough for you all.


Elite have always been a class company and Sunday, they proved, was no exception. Full marks to them for opening specially for us on a Sunday and all their staff for giving up their day off.

It certainly looked like (from the short itme I was there) that staff and scooby owners were both having a good time.

was class seeing the mechanics coming out time after time armed with their camera phones
