Default newbie scooby owner Birmingham

Evening all thought id say hi.
Just brought my first scooby 3 weeks ago. It had 18" bloody mg alloys on it looked nice but drove like s***.
Got a mint set of RB5 alloys the other day and my god what a difference they have made
its like a totally different car.
Anyway to the point.
I have noticed the meets that are going on but unfortunately cant make them this wkend
although the tunnel run sounds ace.
Is there any meets that happen around the solihull area or is the closest coventry.
is there anyone that organises meets in the bham area?
would love to join in on a convoy somewhere

Its a mica 99 uk spec standard except for a Nur spec back end which sounds superb.
Let me know how to poxt a pic on here
ill put on im my profile if you can see that.
going to start some sensible mods soon
what would you recomend and is it true you have to get a re-map after most mods
so would it be wise to get everything first thhen put them all at the same time then get it mapped.???

hi wraggy tend to have meets at cov as it is more central to people from leamington and leicester as well as brum. the Oak at baggington where we have our meets is car friendly which is important. Regarding mods you will get loads of advice at meets. You do need the car remapped if you start modding otherwise your wasting your time as you wont get the full benifit from them.

My motor looks okay with them wheels but looks better now gotta get some pics up with the new wheels on just when I get home its dark and when I get up its dark. Will take some tommorow and change them.
