Foresters are nice Steve and certainly even rarer than sti wagons...but i don't think they have quite the finesse classics have. if its just de-cat drone then get yourself a resonated centre section or a quieter back box; H & S all the way

*smiles*

Cheers Ian,

just been to look at some today, pictures later.

Her who wears the trousers, I mean flightsuit says she wants more rooms for the mutts too and wants something a bit more discrete and in keeping with the stealth ethos ... The STi wagon doesnt really do stealth, with itss blue/gold/ de-cat/ flamer and super whooshy KKS VTA and doesnt want to be challenged to a duel at every oppportunity by barrys in their mums corsas ....she has a point there

Did you know you can get a respectable 260/300 out of an S Turbo and more if you want

*smiles*

The sqn is in need of a Support Wagon ... In flight refuelling and messing

..Gotta be in Silver Though

*smiles*

Next thought in my mind is keep the Wagon and PX the punto against forrester .. His and Hers Wagons

..I havent tolld her this yet

*smiles*

Looking through autotrader, came up with these two, I know there not STi's but cheap as chips for what they are. It does mean we can px the punto against it, we have his and hers wagon for Kudos factor and when we sell the sti wagon we can still be in a wagon if that make sense

X Reg - Subaru bristol


Then phase two is get a big pay rise and then visit mr litchfield and px said foz against STi one

Now that sounds like a more sensible idea not sure about not telling her though

*smiles*

I just found the right moment... and the she said yes

So now need to find a Foz to PX the punto against.

Two scoobs on the drive, how cool is that


....I have to sell the wagon after NBO though is the compromise

i think the XT is a good option, much more discrete and less of a target for race hungry Mitsi's...

i still think you will miss your wagon when you sell it especially when you consider how much dosh you have spent on the rebuild...

*smiles*

The S-Turbo keeps with the 'Classic' look and feel without the boaty new-age experience ... No offence new-agers

Its only money

I very nearly bought an STI forester,i love em,i may still get one in the future cos i hate the shape of the new impreza

*smiles*

..Let the revolution begin .... I'm allready looking for a few good recruits who have what it takes to form the Forester Flight for the Squadron

Forester Gunships

Just thought I should say hello

Am now the proud owner of a 50k MY97 Sti 3 V-Limited Wagon, 075/555.. With, according to all the information from this learned forum, a closed deck block (hatching all over the engine, including around the oil filter). The CDB I'll confirm when I have the head off at some point.

Great car to drive, can see what the fuss is about now

Of course I now have the usual new car issues.. Clutch on the way out, suspected rocker cover gasket leak, odd whining noise that is probably power steering or wheel bearing related... But what do you expect for buying a 10yr old rally slag?

r33lacey

Also....

Anyone know if there is such a thing as a quick release rear strut brace for a wagon?

I want to fit a brace to sharpen the back end a bit, but I also need to be able to get the seats down from time to time...

Cheers

Ayreshirescoobies.com confirmed number of cars - 18 Cars space

RB5 confirmed number of cars -18 car space

RB320 club confirmed number of cars -18 car space

CADS lub confirmed number of cars - 8 slightly smaller space

these are the 11 stands competing

########

If you want to change your number of cars as shown on the list please can you post on this thread your new revised number and if you would like a slightly smaller stand as you can be(and most probably will be) penilised on correct use of space if you have an 18 car pitch and only 6 cars !!!

The tropheys have been ordered and comprise of

Best club stand NBO 5

: : second place

: : third place

and 2 runners up plaques so a total of 5 honours to be won !!

we have decided on 5 prizes in recognition of the very hard work that the various clubs are putting into this event
the winners will be anounced at 3pm along with the car of the day winners and the raffle and cheque hand over to macmillan cancer
a recap of the rules are as follows

As you all know the club stands (large) are 70 foot wide 40 foot deep and the height of low flying aircraft

The spaces will be allready marked out for you when you arrive thanks to Gussy the ringmaster and super Roo from CS ,thanks in advance to them for getting up at 5am for this task from their NBO mobile HQ (cheap tent from Aldi)

-----------------------------
The Club stand judges are

Lord harding (CS/TTS )NBO Chairman
Martin (TTS Chairman )
Gussy (CS chairman )
Mark <the terzo> who set new standards last year and has been promoted to a senior position to help drive the NBO concept to a higher level

...........................................


The scoring is total marks out of 100
in 4 different sections which are -

1 Banners
2 bunting /flags
3 use of colour
4 Is space used wisely
5 position of vehicles parked
6 number of vehicles too many/sparse

section total 30 points

14 tables/chairs
15 Catering/hospitality

Section total 25 points

club members -

16 enthuasism of members
17 knowledge of club
18 details of club activities
19 Club regalia /uniforms
20 The X Factor =# Does it make the judges smile

Section total 25 points
------------------------


-Total number of points 100

The stands will be visited by the judges hopefully between 12-1pm and time will be spent examing the displays and asking questions
Please apoint a stand manager/deputy to show us the stands and we will also be interviewing other members from the stand .

If you look at the 20 sections above it will help you prepare your stands ready for the event .

Of course there will be grumbles and moans from some of you and celebrations from others when you win the tropheys and as a special incentive there will be 5 tropheys 1-2-3-and runners up places so it is worth fighting for as we feel that it is an important part of the NBO concept and development .

.The 100 marks will be judged by all 4 judges who all have different Ideas and criteria each judge marks a stand out of 100 points then Mark <the Terzo> adds up all 4 judges scores to get the max 400 points ,by doing this we will get a mean average score .

Look carefully at each section above and you will notice that 80 points are achieved from stand layout,club info and most of all enthuasism of the club stand members ,we have went this route as it is a club comp and not the best car comp ,that is what the the car of the day comp is for.

Of Course any scooby on a stand that is not polished and cleaned to perfection and is not in excellent condition will penialise the complete stand .

part of your role as club stands is to recruit new members to your club and we will be judgeing how you hope to and do achieve this

Of course your club stand will be a showpeice to the rest of the scooby community and every aspect of the above will be judged and will be marked ruthlessly

We Do not expect to see Adias /england /Umbro style clothing !!!
on a stand that is promoting your club or subarus
The X Factor is something we will all be looking for


The NBO Field plan has been drawn up and your clubs stands will be as follows
right to left
CS then
TTS then
Ayreshire scoobs
Wagon corner
RB5
RB320
WR1

these stands will be placed on the road side of the field

On the right hand side of the field will be the 11 suppliers (lists will go out tonight for them)
and on the far side of the field the Big Hitters !!!
right to left facing
WYIOC then the
SMACS
LADS
CADS
The judges desicion will be final

we have grouped them as close as we can to their locations

Im sure it will be a very keenly fought competion the LADS ,SMACS and WYIOC have all battled for years for years against each other always looking for that extra space to comabat their rivals ,who will build the biggest stand ?
I think they learned that the best cars dont necessarlily win the tropheys and are going for new standards this year
The CADS are always a tight formed group with neat displays and lots of good banter

The CS and TTS are real rivals now with both clubs recruiting new stand managers this year ,Its worse then the premior league with 12 month contracts and humilation and Boos if its not right
lots of work is going behing the scenes in the 2 clubs

One dark course will be the Ayreshire scoobs with some setting off at 4am and some camped out all over Yorkshire ,we have never seen their stands but they won 3 tropheys last year on their cars and have a scecret forum with 8 pages long . I think the Jocks are up to something really big this year

The wagon who were winners last year will be determinated to hold their gold and as they confess to being Nuts so they will be going to the extreams and a will be having 500 mile journeys to compete

The RB5 always has an excellent stand and management
a new group the RB320 will be interesting as well as the WR1 club who are really supporting this comp in a big way

wonder what they are up to ??


please feel free to post any questions about this part of the NBO and I will be able to give you help if i can .

We are counting down the days, the squadron has ordered its pilots to stand down and leave to be taken for the days prior to this event so pilots are on top form and there formation parking skills are honed to perfection
