I may be able to pop down for an hour or so on Sunday lunchtime & provide a passenger experience in lieu of a full on test flight.

If someone could give me directions to the Crown I will do my best to get there.

What other cars will be there ? Never had the pleasure of seeing a 22B close up so that would be a big draw.

Sorry James but I have to disagree with you on the IM plan being pointless !!

Surely they are being rather astute in trying to get mugs like me in parting with a bit of cash up front. I might lose out on a bit of interest for a couple of months but you have to weigh that up against the smug look I have on my face at the moment

Hi all,
Move this off Dan's topic so no to highjack thread

Any way James has arranged A STI VII for Feb 3rd for me/us so a 12 pm meet at Crown and Ancor in Hallow. Listers seem to want us to have the meet
I if you need to book up for a test drive, or what the delivery times are like or if UK or Prodrive version.

Tony

Edited to remind people of the 30 mph Speed limit in Hallow and there is and will be a SPEED TRAP IN HALLOW village

All is well for the 3rd of Feb.

There is no need to book a test drive, as Lister's are getting the car all day (Sunday hours 10 till 4) so there will be plenty of time for everyone to have a play with the new car, which i have to admit they are very keen for us to do!!! are they mad.

They also have a good selection of other cars at the moment so anyone wanting to do a back to back test with say P1 or wrx will also be catered for, all in all, a days fun with there petrol.

They will also be truning the drinks machine onto free, but as usal there is the pub next door.

I have not tried the car in the dark, (should be able to on 3rd)but the lights should be alot better in both looks and performance than standard items.

The boys at Lister's are looking forward to your drifting already ol' chap.

I am on nites but i will b there! split my sleep, few hrs in am, few in evening 2,now theres dedication 4 u eh?. need I remind Tony I am in the front with u on ur test flight, sorry drive, that ok with mrs Tony?

For the guy with a mate divorcing, i've just got divorced, the scoob is an excellent wife substitute,I can certainly vouch 4 that.

Can some 1 also tell me how 2 use the bloody small icons? cant figure the little buggers out!

lookin 4ward 2 c in u all again,anyone bringing any single lady friends? whenever i meet a nu woman mention the scoob, if they reply with "a what" or "is that a nice car" apply the principle when buyin a car and suspicious about anything, WALK AWAY. There has got 2 b some single scooby lovin women somewhere aint there!

I recommend the Morette twins Tony, I do a lot of nite time excursions, not disappointed.

See Ya all soon

Ian

So is this an organised day(s) of test driving etc or is it a free-for-all as to who turns up when?
I'd love to have a drive (or be driven if over-subscribed,unless a certain sideways-merchant from Hereford should be the only one offering
I always feel tho' that these days aren't for those who would not necessarily be purchasing and have their wad handy (so to speak) so am put off asking.
Will still be there to put my nose against the glass anyway

Matthew

PS to Ian
smilies from www.smilies.nl are better than the ones Tony nicks off anyone else.. hope to see you when i drop in

James,
Apparently I've got to go last as all the others said there wouldn't be much left for them to drive
We won't talk about my failed " U"/doughnut/handbrake type turn on the wales trip.

Squizz,
Do I get a tenner back she charged me £20

God dame you Mr Squizza, I told you that last time, was the last time, ooo.

I forgot to say, they also have a 22b (t22b uk) in the showroom, I'm sure they might get it out if it's dry.

Who's comming then?

Tony - I've been told to tell you, not to siffen the petrol out on the test drive.
