Blimey dunx.
That takes me back, running a 105E then with twin cam lotus, anti-tramp, dropped 2.5 inches, Cortina diff, stripped out had to cut out the floor to accommodate the box, blowen arches, Gerry Marshall days remember his Vauxhall Firenza a really funny guy, Carlos Fandango wheels . Oh those were the days.

You must be as old as me?

A close friend of mine has a TVR Cerbra and I have spent the last 2 yrs trying to convince him to buy a scoob.
He has finally seen sense and wants a 22B.

Been on the 22B forum where there are a few.

Does anyone know of any others for sale ?

Any help would be appreciated.
Prepared to travel to view.

Well the guy in the toyota starlet decided to swerve into me on the A2 at 18:30 today because he couldn't brake and lost control meaning his car ended up side ways and ended up wiping my front end out with the side of his motor he was doing 50MPH, TBH i'm lucky my scoob didn't start rolling would have been in serious ****. Can;t start the car somethings touching although RAC man wouldn;t listen and kept cranking it....he was only trying to help i suppose. But can't lift bonnet....to see whats happened under the hood. When theres less snow i'll have a look and take some pics when weathers better.

My necks bad right now C so will call you tomorrow i need to lay down, getting neck cramps.

Sorry to hear about the accident and your scoob Baly. Hope your neck gets better and that insurance co pays up promptly.

I decided not to go into work today given we've had about 6" snowfall in saaarf london - they reckon it's going to get worse as the day goes on

Jag you lightweight - I had a riot driving in today - the look on people's faces as I sailed past in the unsullied outside lane or overtook at a decent speed while they were teetering along in the single gritted lane...

The Dccd is coming in very useful in terms of turning up the lock to get some traction and back down again for turn in

FB completely agree with you on the DCCD, the mercs and Bm's are struggling for traction around here and there was me sailing by in the trusty front wheel drive focus no problem....

Hence why the BMW will stay on the drive and the wife shall walk to work until weather clears.


JP4 - i forgot to mention that the i was in agony all night with the neck but feel a lil better now.

Jag,

I drove in at about 0630 after a snowball fight in the garden with the kids - we've got at least 6 inches by me so I had to go around the heath about 4 times just to get my eye in

Sorry to hear about your car, Baly, but you now have the opportunity to build it all into some sort of rip snorter.

Clive, the only down side is the splitter being so low in that I'm shovelling snow up over the windscreen, but the heat of the radiator and FMIC is keeping the grills clear. Given that the whole front end is having a respray shortly I'm not too bothered about charging down the outside lane

450 bhp is quite a laugh with a dccd

Would you mind doing some shovelling round where I live as we are a little stuck indoors? Would be rather good of you if you could? Besides it's not that you'd be bothered as it's going for a respray?

Ian, the chap who came withe me at the last meet was on the phone to me earlier telling me how a geaser bombed past everyone on the motorway bit he was on.....five minutes down the road this same geaser's car was on its roof

We should all really take it easy at times like this. I was only doing 30mph in 5th gear when this guy hit me at 65mph ish.

It's not the cars that matter but the thought of if it slips who and how many people could we kill - not something you really want hanging over you for the rest of your life.

and they are doing a full feature on the P1 when it's finished.

Sorry Sy, this slipped through the net, only just read it.

Bits I have ordered are just some cosmetic dress ups.

The headgasketless system will be done after the new turbo is fitted at the same time as the NO2.
The new turbo's are at RCM now I believe. I have left it with Olly as to when to fit it along with 6 speed / rear diff etc.
It,s just working out when to do it cos I have Brands on Feb 27th & 30 -130 on Mar 8th.
I am trying to push RCM to get it done asap but they are busy at mo.
