I can't believe it. Some stupid bird in a smart car has just rear ended me. :( :mad:
Was sat still at zebra crossing with someone crossing, and wham, my exit pipe was invaded. Car poorly! Don't have any pics, but suffice to say, as is, rolling road may be out. I'm gonna try desparately to get repaired before next sunday. Need help with bodyshops. Anybody recommed any around newcastle? Will be calling Alyn at AS first thing in morning as car was booked in. Hoping to still put it in for mechanical stuff and just fix cosmetic stuff next week, before rolling road day. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.
A very unhappy Dxx :( :(

Dxx 08 March 2005 10:11 PM

Oh, forgot to add, smart car was 2 days old, and bird was not insured!!!!!!! She's offered to pay private at least, and on the bright side, her front is far worse!
Dxx

Ninnybobs 08 March 2005 10:14 PM

Sorry to hear your bad news
 
Dxx,

Did you call the Police? Was it her car?

Surely, if it was a new car, it would have to have been insured to tax it.

I will keep your RR place open for you

Martin

SteveCMY97 09 March 2005 05:35 PM

Martin is Scooby Magazine coming along ????

Ninnybobs 10 March 2005 08:21 AM

Martin

SteveCMY97 10 March 2005 04:51 PM

LOL

Ninnybobs 11 March 2005 09:12 AM

Only another week to finish those last minute 'tweaks'. ;)

BTTT

Martin

gussy 11 March 2005 04:19 PM

Martin my new tweek is a new set of disks and some tyres still haven't decided which to go for camskills have run out of 18" toyo t1s...but they have the toyo R888s in stock and the new dunlop super sport race tyres decisions.....decisions.

Ninnybobs 11 March 2005 09:04 PM

Gus,

If it's Toyo's your after, have you tried Revolution?

My tweaks consist of a 500 mile round trip tomorrow ;)

Martin

stockcar 11 March 2005 09:11 PM

alyn

Ninnybobs 11 March 2005 09:51 PM

Alyn,

You haven't been fitting more woofers and tweakers have you.

Martin

stockcar 11 March 2005 10:00 PM

not exactly althought they do add more "bass" to the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

will find out how much extra we can 'find' in the map tomorrow....................LOL

alyn

Dxx 12 March 2005 11:04 AM

:) Nowt wrong with a bit of bass.... although i haven't heard it yet!!!
:D
Dxx ;)

Dxx 12 March 2005 11:07 AM

Suddenly had a great idea Martin. Don't know if possible, but do you think you could get hold of a noise meter for the rolling road day. People always asking about dB of certain exhausts etc????
Dxx

Maverick FAF 12 March 2005 01:26 PM

Ile bring mine on the day and test anyones exhaust on request. Ile even calibrate it between each run. Hows that for service?

Regards

Russ (Russell Bennett) :)

Maverick FAF 12 March 2005 01:34 PM

Ohh and if you like I can test Carbon Monoxide and Sulphur Dioxide Emision levels aswell if you like? No sound off testing though!! or maybe for a nominal fee?!

Russ :norty:

gravelexpress 12 March 2005 09:43 PM

loudest zaust competition eh..................

Ninnybobs 12 March 2005 09:52 PM

Great idea Russ,

Anyone that passes the emissions test will be thrown off the rollers ;)

even the "rally slag" system might meet its maker.....................don't bet too much Mark.................


Martin, how did yesterday go, worth the effort??

alyn

Ninnybobs 13 March 2005 10:33 AM

Happy Sunday Everyone,

Alyn - Yesterday was a good day. The car just doesn't know when to stop accelerating - Magic :)

Thanks for all your help

Martin

Dxx 13 March 2005 12:50 PM

Holy sh*t, have heard my new exhaust (changed back box after little bumb the other day). OMFG!!!!!!! Excellent :D :D
On tickover, retains a nice subtle burble, anything over 2000 revs, and, well, errr, words fail me!
Would like to publicly appologise to Alyn at AS cause he's been a bit embarrased at having to drive it round. ;)
Thanks to Maverick in advance for bringing the sound meter on Sunday. The meter could have been one of my better ideas. Not quite sure about the exhaust yet though. Will have to try it for a bit once get car back.
Dxx

P.S. LOL at Martin and the emissions ban.

Ninnybobs 13 March 2005 04:54 PM

Dion,

I presume you meant to say "after a little BUMP the other day".

Or is there something you are wanting to tell us ;)

Martin

Dxx 13 March 2005 04:58 PM

Oops!!!! :)

GraemeR 13 March 2005 05:56 PM

Hi there all

Dion is the new exhaust on the same level as mine or louder?:)

Dxx 13 March 2005 06:03 PM

Don't know. Haven't got car back yet. Would be surprised if it's louder than yours. That's just insanely loud. But then again, i've only heard mine inside the car at lowish revs. Will be nice to hear it at Well lane. Not often you can hear your exhaust from outside the car when its "travelling" .
Dxx

SCD Simon 13 March 2005 07:19 PM

I won't make next Sunday :(:(:( but am sure you will all have a good day without me and look forward to reading about the results ;)
I will be at the next meet though along with the injury :D:D:D
if the lift from Jabbroni is still ok :):):)

cdm1 13 March 2005 07:57 PM

is there a convoy going down next sunday if so where is the meet?
