Thumbs up

.....the Midnight Mechanic

Following an interesting nights mapping (hampered by a set of plugs that seemed to be blown to peices) and a late pizza pitstop, we decided to change my spark plugs at 11.45pm tonight.
Good old Pat set to work, on the street with barely any light at all and managed to change all four by feel alone (hindered by FMIC pipes and modified suction kits), for a lovely set of NGK Racing 8's.

And boy does she flame/pop on over-run and liftoff now. My poor old neighbours must have thought that Saddam had launched a midnight raid on Laindon!!!

Cheers Pat, you're a star!!!!!

Chuck, sshhhh

Tizard, other than said Audi, I have a classic shaped Silver WRX with 'Disco' rally stickers in the back window. What about yours?

Rich,

Bobby, It pops,bangs and flames naturally now due to the plugs and fueling, but with Pats ALS-style bonus map, I can do earthshakers to order aswell

Disco, Yep its an STi RA (or Sti 2 Type RA V-Ltd, 555 special edition) in Original '555 British american Tabacco' blue with 17" gold alloys.

So what has Pat done thats a bit special as im thinking of having a word myself (you can email me offline if you like). The man know's his Scoobys.

I see I never get any thanks for the cold/late nights I put in on yours and Askews cars
or any sympathy for my back after laying on the door sill for hours fitting your turbo timer

I think I've clocked up atleast 11 hours on the mirrors alone

Disco, sounds interesting, never heard anyone use that on a Scooby before, but then it does seem Pat likes to try out new stuff, especially in his Legacy from what I've heard.
