Y Reg Burgundy Prodrive in Stoke-on-Trent.
 
Tailed me shortly then buzzed past me in Hanley. Did'nt think I'd keep up in my crappy old WRX did you!!

HA!

Come on Stokies..!!

Any replies?

That was me mate, i live in hanley, i thought your WRX sounded mean with that exhaust, i thought you would of taken the bait and had a play, Ha Ha,

The problem round Stoke is that anything slower than a scooby wont even try and anything faster there is a shortage of, i have only had a play with a couple of evos in nearly 2 years of scooby ownership, its hard to find anyone willing nowadays, think i might get me old 106 rallye back, used to have loads of fun in that

Tidy motor you got there sir!

Got a good telling off from the missus shortly after that short blast. You are right about play things in Stoke. You were only the forth Scoob i've seen in a year. So yeah, I swallowed that bait big time..

Until next time....

So come Stokies, who are the rest of you?

Stoke is rather unrepresented on here and the A500 is just purrrrfect for a blip..

;) :thumb: ;)

Ha Ha, yeh mate, i will keep a look out for you,

make sure the missus aint with you though, i think i can remember her not looking very impressed,

Thanks about my motor being tidy, i try my best, just got to sort one or two dings in the bodywork this summer and it will be immaculate, i went all the way to scotland to get it cos i was looking for ages for the right one with the right miles and at the right price and what i got was a cracking example, shame a piston melted this time last year though and i had to pay out over £3000 to API for a rebuild, thats with only 29000 on the clock,

If you ask me any engine that runs the risk of destroying itself is a pretty **** engine, regardless of all the hype they get for being realible and all that, i mean how can subaru get away with supplying a part (i.e the MAF sensor) which has a limited lifespan and will take your engine with it when it fails, thats just criminal in my eyes and subaru should of redesigned it not to fail or even have a recall of all cars affected, thats my feelings anyway

suppose i will see ya round then, my number plate ends in BSC just so you know who i am, what does yours end in?

Look for DHN. You will probably see it from the back next time LOL. Will be posting some recent piccys just as soon as I get around to it. https://www.scoobynet.com/scooby.php?profileid=134 Its much the same, the front end has changed a bit, thats all.

As for the missus, poor little ducky was holding on for dear life! I nearly lost it just after we turned right at Cobridge, theres a little hump on the brow of the hill just before the speed camara, I lost all grip at the front wheels!

I am just hoping now that my engine stays in shape, recently fixed a boosting problem that I inherited from the last owner (he was clueless) so I am hoping that the car hasn't been caned too much in its past life, fingers crossed.

Got chipset sorted from Andy @ ESL so this would explain the close match the other day, but with that in mind and the age of the car I do like to nurse her around a bit. Its still okay for a brief blast though int it?

Hopefully we'll see some more replies shortly, see who else can keep up.

I can usally be found wading through the Gen Tech Forum (knowledge is power). I noticed you pulling into the Shell garage, what do you reakon to the V Max, been running mine on Tesco 99?

Dave M UK 03 February 2007 07:56 PM

i like the V-power, never had any problems, i have heard the tesco stuff is good also but i stick to the big brand stuff
