tunnel runners past present and future general chat....
Hi all
as tunnel runners thought we needed our own chat thread, so here it is. what you bin Upto, what you got planned, etc etc Ill start on the last run my clutch was slipping like mad managed to get Exedy one for 163 quid delivered just hoping tom can sort this Wirral met garage thing out so i dont freeze my ass off fitting it lol hope to here from all the past runners even if you dont drive a scoob anymore i want this to be a catch up thread :thumb: |
Good idea Stu, think with the number of runs I have missed of late I may be in danger of counting as a past runner lol.
still see a few of the old runners posting on SNet Hope you get your clutch sorted out, too cold to try without a nice garage Steve |
Cool idea Stu!! Nice to keep in touch with people :) I like the tunnel run, even though I dont do it very often but I drive my car every day, the tunnel run is as much about the people as it is the cars :thumb:
I've spent a few hours with a motivational speaker today (Kriss Akabusi), can you tell :D |
Hi guys this is exactly why i thought of this like you said loads of the old tunnel runners still on here its like face book for petrol heads lol

Hello all.
Hope you dont mind me posting in here. Im from Carlisle up in Cumbria. Ive just moved from Milton Keynes where a small group of us organised the Essex Tunnel for the Essex Scooby Crew in 2010 as they had no one to organise it so wasn't going to be run. I would like to help you with organising a big North Tunnel Run but have no idea what tunnels we have up here. Andy |

That's why I still have a spoiler sitting behind my desk in work, not sure when I can manage without the car :wonder: but then I can manage without a spoiler, you can't manage without a clutch!! Hope you get it sorted soon :)
It will look Fab when you fit your spoiler jo :thumb: |
Good idea this. I've not been on one since the last Wales Tunnel Run. A good year ago I think now. Funny cos I was 1 out of the 11 to go on the first ever tunnel runs. That's what happens when you have your First Baby. :lol1: hoping to come along soon. Cars changed loads since then. Even got a Go Pro HD Camera I could use. Still in the box :rolleyes:
Be good to catch up with people:thumb: |

Not sure if this would work Stu. Could you get a Hack Saw Blade in there or snap the blade to get it in. Then cut a line over the snapped bolt, just enough the get a flat head Screwdriver or flat head bit to unscrew the bolt.

Got a set of Scooby world mudflaps here .. the brackets to fit a classic, missing some of the clips .. all bolts are there are far as I know, brand new in the packet, plain black .. anyone want them ?
Clips are a few pence in B&Q |

Hey Gilly one of my work mates was next to you in that little tunnel by the bridges in a red astra about a week ago.. said you were were making a bit of noise in there! :thumb:
The plot thickens eh Stu, has it got ally wish bones? I did see they had screw extractors in aldi btw the other day, depends on how much access you have though I suppose.. When I swapped the cat on mine thoose bolts were well siezed thought they were never coming off. good luck with it mate |
