Question

Just purchased my first scoob(excited 2 f#@k)but need advice on where i can buy a decent steering wheel and whether or not i can get a decent momo wheel with an airbag? Its a 97 with a standard wheel with an airbag at the mo. Does anyone know of anywhere in the north-west of England that could sort me out, or has anyone ever fitted another wheel??

If you fancy a run to wrexham check out demon tweeks. get the catalogue first, or look at the website, then take just enough money to buy the steering wheel.

FFS don't take a credit card with you as you'll be up to your eyes in debt by the time you leave there

Hey Rusty

Still "cornering" on those gunmetal WRX 17" jobbies. I was cleaning my gold ones and a huge flake of gold fell off!!!

On the steering wheel front... I got a Focus 1.8 Zetec from Stan Palmer as a courtesy car and the steering wheel was smaller (half the size) of mine and wondered about a swap.

Can you clicky deemon tweeks website for me ??

Cheers

Midlife..

I know which end to point where

Seriously though, I have a Fuji Finepix cheap and cheerul one - paid £120 for it. It was the cheapest one I could find in the shops in Lancaster which had a LCD screen on the rear. It's fatastic for meets which I then want to upload to the web but that's about it

I run mine at 1 MegaPixel as when I download them I save them automatically to 640*480 (80-100k each). It has a very low zoom but the 16Mb card lets me take 45 pictures and I have a 64Mb card whicvh I can get nearly 200 on

I can also turn the flash on, off or auto - I used to have it on all the time but a certain red WRX owner complained that I made his car look orange

I'll have it with me a week on Wednesday as I believe John (Lordy) wants me to take some of his Wagon

Clicky spot on...

Seems like none of them are good in a crash... At my age I need a good airbag to get me to forget the medication

Thanks.....
