Default Hello from cornwall

Hi all, thought I'd say hello...
I seem to have inadvertently become a scooby owner following a bit of late night ebaying!

It's as rough as a dog and a non turbo but I'm sure it'll turn out slright in the end!!!

Looe?

Yuck.

Luckily I'm far enough away from all the riff raff of liskeard I can have a nice car lol.

Bodmin is definitely a **** hole.

Unfortunately with my work on the railway I get to go to all of these unsavoury places!

Haha, I live out near pensilva. The "posher" side, and not the scummy end haha!

All the small towns round Cornwall are the same. It is pretty run down to be fair. Nice country side though and some good roads make up for it though!

Just need me motor back now to get out and use the roads!

I suffered a blowout after hitting a pot hole out Pensilva/St cleer way. I only had the car a Month at the time. I see a black 04 wrx in Looe, usually parked near the ship builder's car park. I have seen a blue bug eye in Pensilve a few times, I have not spotted Jglanza's car yet.

It is a small world eh?

What car have you got king of turds? Seen a few around, blue wrx hawk, couple of silver classics, and a terzo. The roads around pensilva are terrible for potholes

My car doesn't come out too often, it is downright scary on the road....!

However if anyone is ever in the area they are more than welcome to pop over for a cuppa and a spin.

I had a v4 sti back then, or I did until it jumped a few teeth on the cambelt and carried out some unscheduled engine mods

I currently have a type r but it does not get out much at the minute. We took it down to Perranporth at the weekend but it was was taking 2 hours to sign up for the quarter mile track so I gave up in the end.

Two hours?!?!? Sounds like I dodged a bullet then! What was taking so long?

It was supposed to be the first outing for my car after the winter and all the mods I have done. Luckily it wasn't mapped in time really!

Will be going up to dakota with it this month though, 10 second 1/4 mile should be on the cards!

I think they just underestimated the amount of people who would turn up on a cold February morning. We got there at 11am and there was already a load of people queued up at the caravan trying to sign up. Hopefully they will stream line the process for next time.
