Morning All, snow today, any private carparks known, dont want the hassle we got last year when playing about.

on a side note, came across this whilst looking for a lockup.

True! I've still got all the videos it was great fun

I've killed 1/2 a tank today driving around like a fool in the snow. I've had so much fun. Have been around most of Birmingham, played in several car parks, many a roundabout, and generally anywhere I could go sideways. Always great fun overtaking all the stranded cars, very grin inducing

What a night.

Default Time to sell her

Sadly, I Think its time to sell the scoob. Loved every minute of the last two years but it's too much of a drain on finances considering it sits on my drive all week as I catch the train to work. Plus now having another daughter and the mrs packing her job in to look after her. So think we're gonna sell both our cars and buy one between us. Any idea how much mines worth?

Spec:-

Gc8 my00 turbo 2000.
Full engine rebuild from TDR
Excedy organic clutch
Front entry TD05 16g
Simtek ECU running Mafless and dual maps. (One V-Power with high boost 1.4 bar, and one for 95ron and low boost 0.9 bar) fitted and mapped by Mark at TDR
Simota Panel filter
3 port BCS
Sti Top mount
HKS SSQV
Walbro Fuel Pump
3" Decat Turbo back exhaust
Whiteline anti-lift kit
Eibach 40mm lowering springs
Bugeye 17" rims.
Prodrive Spoiler
Recent oil and filter change - Millers 10w50
Boost gauge
Smaller Momo steering wheel

Probably forgot something but you get the jist.
Running an estimated 300-320bhp according to mark at TDR.

6 Months MOT
6 Months Tax

As I say gutted to say the least, but gotta be done! ;(

I want the snow to fack off. Would be brilliant if there was no one else on the roads. Old people and middle aged women + car + snow = Bang!! "oh sorry it was the snow" ... errr yes, the snow pushed you into me

Im not taking the risk

Its the heros in the BMW, Mercs, Jags etc who think its a good idea. Then you get people who drive so slow and panic way too much.

The snow is proof that SUbaru is the best car in the UK.

I agree that Subaru's are far more superior than most in these weather conditions but it depends on how the car is set up. I remember last year when we had all that snow, my car was like a snowplough with the front splitter and 35 profile tyres didnt help with traction.
