Skippy,

Well I promised the girlfriend I'd take her to ikea, managed to get back alive minus £70...

Just seen Bob filling up at my local garage in Durham, Nice car Bob... What filter/exhaust have you got on that beast ?

As promised here are the directions to the Badger for 4th Feb.





Easy to get to, just head for the Airport from the A1 western bypass. When you get to the Aiport roundabout head straight on, straight over the next roundabout(500yds) then right at the next roundabout. You will see the Bagder on your right, there's also a large garden centre there.

I know what you meann about the forest drive, used to use it in my younger days when i didn't give a jot ! the cars we all have now are too good for that, i'll do a bit checking about, but don't blame me !!! Does 40-50 miles sound about right ???

Skip.

ndouglass

Skip,

Yeah, that distance sounds good to me..

Any ideas sprung to mind yet as to which roads you're gonna use ?

I'm spending my non hard earned cash on some new front discs & pads from revolution, getting done tonight. Maybe I'll try and get a new spoiler before the day arrives, make it up for spending money in Ikea at the weekend.

Route is hmmm, shall we say not done, as soon as i get this week out the way i'll have a bit more time, 11 ??? We need to do better than this !!! Anything apart from Scoobie's yet ???

Skip.

ndouglass

Well 11 isn't bad, but I'm sure we can drum up some more even if they 'aint Scoobys..

Any Speed freaks out there reading this ??

Sadly my friend & his P1 are off to Derby that weekend, Next time Gav.

I'd recommend a road NOT to take, that's the Kielder Forest Drive between A696 & Kileder Castle. Loose surface, toll road too with a speed limit of 20mph. I went though a little bit quicker when it was quiet a while back leaving huge clouds of dirt & dust, only to find numerous Paint Chips down both sides

SCD Simon

Had a quick look through the thread and it looks like the number of mota's could be 11
Let's hope so and you never know there could be more!!!!!!

How's the route coming along Skippy,any details yet?

CHEERS SCD Simon

Skippy

I'm skint, car stops as it is for the moment, plus if i get a chance i'm selling it, i was looking at up the A696, stop near Otterburn, have a chat, back down via A68, not really the most intresting, but the small roads round there are SMALL !!!

I take it you post from work ? or are you on holiday ???

Skip.

ndouglass

Skip,

Yeah, I post from work.... Only thing I have to do is sit and surf the web at the moment.
It's a hard life being in I.T. isn't it..

Neil

Skippy

What do you do in IT, must be software if you have noot to do !!!!

ndouglass

Skip,

Well believe it or not I'm doing 2nd line support at the moment, the place where I'm at doesn't really need anyone as the place runs itself. Must do about 5 hours work a week but claim 38hrs, most of that surfing and doodling . Are U a Hardware geezer ?

Neil

Skippy

Yip, Look after the WAN, LAN and all the remote sites, cable installations, support etc shouldn't be on here, but the lad that monitors the firewall is ok, just takes seconds to drop a note on. Any jobs going at your place ???

jabroni

SHOULD WE TRUNDLE INTO THE PUB AT LEAST FOR A COKE IN CASE WE UPSET THE MANAGEMENT AT THE BADGER

ndouglass

Jabroni,

I shouldn't think it'd matter really, there's a big car park there and there's also a large garden centre with ample parking.
Do you reakon the landlord sells "Home Brewed Octane Booster"

Neil

ROBERT BARNES

I think two more of the lads from Durham will also attend both in scoobys so that takes us to thirteen or so..

ndouglass

Lord Harding,

That'd be very much appreciated.. the more the merrier I say ??

How we gonna decide who's "Rubber Duck"

Skippy's kindly looking into a route but it will not be ready until next week as the poor fella's over worked. You could do with a pint of Red Bull Skip...

Neil

Skippy

Neil

The route is taking shape, might be a little longer than expected, i've a few ideas to try, if it all goes pear shaped i'll be after help, if anyone wants to help me i'll be doing a recce on Sunday (in a van though, save some money !!!)

Skip.

ndouglass

Skip,

If you need any help mate just drop me an Email at "Neil@Douglass.com" and I'll see what I can do to help you out.

Got my new Black Diamond Combi Discs on the front tonight from Revolution, waiting for my Mintex Pads to come in and they'll be put on pronto.
Also bought an STi4 spoiler just to tart things up a bit, off to get that painted tomorrow maybe.

Neil

Skippy

You must be paid far to much !!! and have an easy life !!! Which mintex pads you after ??? If it is rear's i might be able to help, i also put mintex in a few months back, you can also get them through Brown Brothers, cheaper too.

ndouglass

Skip,

I've already got Mintex 1144's ordered for the fronts from Revolution, but I will need some for the rears..

What price are we talking ??

Neil

Skippy

Neil

I'd have to check, would be cost, think i paid £140 for front and rear, i'll have to check the invoice, but it was cheaper than Glen, these are 1144's to how much are the fronts from him, might help me remember, hold on, all day at work on here and your back ? Must be addicted !!!

ndouglass

Skip,

I've just checked the prices I got from Revolution, Mintex 1144's (Front £68.21) (Rear £60.33).
I've got to say this BBS is a form of release from boring work & TV, that's why I'm here quite a bit. Not addicted yet

Neil

Iain Mac

Slightly offtopic(ish)
Anyone had their Scoobs suspension adjusted to the Prodrive settings locally, got a name/address of the garage etc, I've asked at Revolution and they susgest a National tyre center, but were a bit vague of which one (well it was to me).
I'm gagging to loose some of the turn-in understeer. (its scrubbing up the outside front tyre edges)
Cheers Iain

Skippy

Iain

I'm intrested in finding this out too, was thinking about making the drive to power station, handy to find somewhere local, or if we can find out all the settings i thing i know some one who maybe able to sort it.
