Go on Bob - don't keep us in suspense Mate! Have you managed to run it in yet? We all thought you be using the laptop and mobile to post on Scoobynet while running in at 120 down the M1......

 

So Bob - U still out driving?

 

Harry Boy

Im in the same boat as you. Gotta wait another 12 days!!!

 

It's a killer BL........

 

t - 4 hours 15 mins for mine

I can't flippin wait!

Harry

The sight of everyone picking up their new cars today is driving me insane!! Arrrggghhhhh

 

I know guys - I've already bitten through these chains that are keeping me at my desk.....

 

Not stopped grinning all day

Never realised people would stare as much as they have been...maybe it's my bad driving ?

Only problem I have with it is keeping the rev's down...I just can''t resist it...
and I'm having to concentrate real hard to stick to the speed limits...driven passed 3 radar guns today, luckily for me they were in built up area's, and I NEVER speed in built up area's.

Off back out again got some miles to do before the 1k service next week!

BOB

Nice one bob, glad your having a good one.

No it's not your driving I know what you mean though it's amazing how many people gawp at ya, never had that before, but then I've never had a scooby before. Only problem is it's always geezers.

Have fun,

Boultsy.

 

Great stuff Bob, glad U like it. Knew you would. The first 1000 miles are almost as painful as waiting to take delivery of the car

Looks well in the photo, I'm glad I've ordered the white indicators/reflectors for mine, look the biz Your mates car looks great too.

Yorkie

 

Bob Don`t do this to us you miserable sod! Ive got to wait till next Thursday......Dear O Dear o Dear.
Enjoy..........all the best the other Bob

 

Active, is yours a UK or Import supply ?

 

Bob,
Check the grey plug above the engine to the right of the alternator.
Mine was unpluged but needs to be pluged in.(for air con to work properly, even though the aircon light still worked)
Just in case yours was missed like mine.

Hi Active
My fingernails have long since gone and my fingers are now down to the bone. Good job I've still got my Turbo to play with or I'd have no hands left

Not long to go now
Yorkie

 

Active

Im picking mine up from Garage Troch on the 13th. When is yours due???

Yet Another Bob

 

After a lot of thought I decided to have it delivered, I would have loved to have collected it though, but the thought of spending £350 for dealer plates and third party insurance put me off. Annoying thing is though I have my own insurance arranged but until it is registered in GB it`s not insured.
Being collected Tues so I hope to have it Wed/Thurs ...god it`s just got to come it seems worse now than when I first ordered it 5 months ago!
No nails left so sucking fingers!
Best regards all
Bob

Sorry chaps I was called away and sent it twice!

 

Hi Bob - sorry its taken so long to get back to the thread. What a luvverly pair, as Sid James would say!! When we're sorted out and elivered, we'll have to get together. You and your business partner/mate must be well chuffed. So, how was the first service then???

 

First Service ? Has WRXBOB done 1000 miles since in two days

 

Hi Yorkie - probably needs a cambelt change already....

 

Hi Harry_Boy,

Hope you are waiting patiently for yours. No fingernail biting now !

Yorkie

 

New Service schedule does not require 1000 mile service IIRC

first service should be 10,000 miles

Phil

 

Phil

We have an imported MY02. So whatever happebs we need the 1000 miles. Im picking mine up on the 13th & the dealer has said that we will need to follow the service book given in Belgium, which means we need the 7.5K service as well!

 

Phil, BL's right - my Belgian dealer is telling me that I need to do the 1,000 mile service.

Yorkie mate- having problems typing - fingers are down to the stumps now....

 

Harry_Boy LOL

Phil, is that right about no 1000 mile first service

I don't like the idea of keeping oil in the system after the intitial running in period
Yorkie

BTW, what does IIRC mean ?



[Edited by Yorkie - 3/3/2002 9:23:56 PM]

 

IIRC

If I Rember correctly it means oh yes see start of sentance
