There are a few sections he could have gone significantly faster. My mate did that track quicker in his corsa 1.2

Is there honestly no uk market for STIs, at this point I'm not even bothered if they go mass market, we need something different to the german dsg stuff.

I know mate. From what I've heard its owned by an American company who only care about ad revenue. This site is one of many that they own.

Many of us speak on the regular on here but have never met in person.

I know at least one of them lol. And I thought we were friends . You guys are all down south, not many brummies on here these days and not many scoobies in brum either. If I had a working scooby and you guys were closer I'm sure we would meet up lol. But there are still so many members on here who we have never met in person.

Many years ago was part of west midz imprezas, knew loads of guys from there who were on here but they have moved on and no longer post. Plus westmidz has dissolved too.

sadly social media has promoted a very small minority 🤬 to mega paid stars but killed off many many small and large clubs.

This has killed enthusiast clubs for financial gain on social media.

there will be nobody soon except fo Instagram and Utube channels etc.get used to it.

There seems to be a decent amount of people scattered around the midlands. I'm on the Leics/Warks border.

Midlands is a big place mate. I'm about 1hr 30 minutes away from you.

In Brum I can go weeks without passing another scooby.

I'm south midlands and apart from popping into TDR I can go months without seeing one. There used to be a few in work including a nice RB320 but I haven't seen that in a while.

I see them a fair bit, but then again I don't live far from RCM so I probably just see people coming and going to and from there. There's also a Subaru engine builder fairly nearby.

not after anyone 🤣.

just sign of the times. All about Short term gains just like Supermarkets killed off Groceries with Uber low price, then hiked the prices. Now a very small amount groceries are making a comeback as can compete.

many keyboard warriors then vote out established committee volunteers. But when they find out it’s bloody hard and can’t commit the amount of time, just packs it in and club in the ****, club folds.

all in my humble opinion 👍

regards

tony
