Les, I'll bet you'll be checking out the Ledenon track close to Nimes then I'll be down in the Montpelier area myself late July/early August (not sure about the exact date yet).

Yup, the alps are the way to go to come back up again !

Does anyone ever get the 1 step forwards 2 steps back feeling?

I've been getting all my bits together ready for japfest, everything going according to plan, ready to be fitted / painted etc.

Then within 3 days I:

smash a morrette lens
my rallitec starts leaking from somewhere
and worst of all I kerb my lovely alloys

 

if it helps i kerbed mine too(more than once)

it cant be helped

one of lifes certainties!

 

Sorry to hear that m8

 

Mine's going in to the bodyshop on the 3rd for quite a bit of work, so i'm worried it won't be ready, will wait and see.
Hope you get your car sorted.

simb

 

least you've got a new grille

 

On my bed I currently have

1 uk 300 lip
1 prodrive grille
1 Sti7 scoop
1 APS intake splitter
1 set of new Prodrive 330mm Alcon brakes
1 Defi oil temp gauge
1 replacement Morrette lens

Just need to find time to get it all painted and fitted

thanks guys, happier again now.

Oh, it's just started raining

*runs to put plastic sheet in boot*

 

I have a full blown Subaru WRC car on my bed at the moment.

Hope you get it sorted

 

I've been quietly following the progression of your car from something ornery to whatever its gonna look like when it's finished (and it's already looking good) - kinda like a web based reality TV thing this is

Hope it all gets sorted soon Ed, and hope to see some more pics !

 

if it was easy it would be boring

 

Frenchie - you got that spoiler yet?

Yeah this will represent the end of the styling, and really just leaves up and downpipe, and a tek 3.

What AM I going to do when its finished???

 

Try having your license taken away for an eye condition you didn't know you had and then having to sell your Scoob.

 

If thats all you have to worry about in life, you are doing OK in my books - stop whining

 

Ed,
Sorry bout the morette lense, good laugh though eh

 

Edcase, I just emailed my confirmation of the order tonight - should get it in a week or two....and for a lot less Euros than my dealer wanted for the Prodrive one (1700!!! sod that ! )

I can't wait! Then, it's tints, and then it's off to Digit-Power for the equivalent of a PPP and 305bhp

 

Nightmate mate - chin up though. You've had your lot of 3 bad luck.

 

Beauregard - nightmare mate, have a similar problem with RSI that I've been fighting - a nightmare when you do so much driving. Sorry to hear that.

Frenchie - may be down your way later in the year in the Scoob - will let you know.

Weaver -

Noz - No worries, got a cheap(ish) lens mate, was worth every penny You at Japfest?

 

Ed, I'll look forward to seeing you if you can make it...some tremendous roads around here for you to play on

 

I find if I get depressed if I go for a drive in the middle of the night, in other words a good "burn up", I soon feel a lot better.

Les

 

Frenchie - my mate lives in Montpelier so we are gonna head down there, then along the riviera and back up thru swiss alps etc.

Les -

 

OOps - that looked like I was signing off as les

I was actually winking at him, LOL.

Ed

PS - does this make me depressed in a corner??

 

If it makes you feel any better, ive spent up to 4K on my car in the last two months of which 3K was unwanted

Blown engine
new brakes
new clutch

and now having just had up-pipe down-pipe fuel pump fuel regulator and knocklink fitted, started the car up within three hours of getting the car back to see smoke rising from under the bonnet.

Opened the bonnet to see the wires running behind the intercooler glowing red like an electric bar heater. The car almost went on fire!!

I do more miles driving the feckin thing back and forth to this garage than driving to work

 

Crikey mate - now that IS depressing.

On the upside at least there isn't much left to go wrong.

Although I guess that's not really any compensation

 

Ed,
yes im at japfest, got 2 sessions booked, will try the westie but i think wont be allowed so i guess the slow P1
