Pete

i was still adrenalin rushing the next day!!

yeh will have to catch you for a blether, will try and make it up to *follow* the pace cars this weekend hopefully gettin rid of the svx soon and gettin me an Impreza so i can be a pace car too

Al

 

Paul

I gave belmont a call in Glasgow, they just sold that WRX

have taken my details and are going to get back to me when they get another one in, said he would phone the buyer for me see what was available

ooh cant wait - new toy

 

btw guys are there any particular years that i should avoid when looking for my new car? ive heard some models suffer from bad piston slap but dont really know much about it??

Cheers
Al

 

Al i`m talkin bout the point n shoot pace cars m8
no the almost sensibles (still pickin bits of that burd outta my IC from bout a month ago )

From memory think the dodgy 1s were around the S year, Dave`d b better at confirming this

Pete

 

haha

seen a dude mash a pheasant in front of me on the way home from Rothienorman outside Aberdeen, was qaulity, for some reason i shut my eyes as the feathers covered me car :0

dude pulled over promptly to check the bumper on his Pug, reckon he'd sh*t himself by the expression on his face as i passed him lol

 

I hopefully should make it unless I have to work. Anyone travelling over the forth bridge? We could meet up and travel in convoy (10-4 rubber doock)

...John

 

Hey guys

I'm heading across on Sunday. Wot time you be at the FRB ? I'll give you a 15 minute start Just like last time

 

Al

If you want me to check over a mota for you ,just ask ...BTW piston slap on 96-98's cured by modified pistons as fitted to the 99 on.
And that last run to Crail was not up to the usual pace...we missed out on the best bit cos we were stuck behind that earth mover .

Anyone coming from Perth or Dundee can meet us here-

Perth services (Shell garage opposite Grassicks BMW) at 10am
Riverside Snack Shed , Riverside Drive (between airport & Barnetts) around 10.30am.

CC..looking forward to a few races with you :d

See you's there
Dave B

 

Dave,

Cmon m8 be fair If anythin it`s at least a buckie

BTW did u get u r air thang sorted ?

Pete

 

Andy, dunno' mate, what time do you fancy?? Not too early as I'm going out with 'Jose Cuervo' on Saturday night

I'll probably not be running the Evo on Sunday as I'm not sure if it's staying or going, so I really do not want to help AWD prosper if it's leaving, by donating several hundred quid for a new clutch. One bill I could do without until i decide if I'm moving on up......nearly burst into song.


...John

 

i`ll be there as per norm(working hard)lol

 

How does 10 am at the Esso station at the bridge sound ?

Don't want to give Dave B too much time to practice
Not that he needs it after 23 runs last time out

ps Dave, you need to work on those reaction times M8, you would have lost 20 of those runs on a red light

 

Sounds good, I'll be at the MacD's around 09:40ish for breakfast first. See you there.

 

yeh, reckon i can make it to the FRB for about 10, might go a bit early and get some munchies. *McBacon Roll here i come*

cheers Dave, so you should be checkin it over, it was after driving your car that i decided i was making the switch

still trying to persuade my Mrs of *the need* for an Impreza turbo, it was fun being with her for 4 years if she dosent understand :P

lol
Al

 

LOL @ Al

It`s easy 2 convince them m8 u jus gotta take her out and fishtail the SVX spin it where safe 2 then tell her "hell now that wouldn`t have happened in an AWD like an Impreza"
If that doesn`t work show her the remenants of my old MR2 GTS,
the 1 that lasted just over a day (waitin 4 my ISP 2 catch up wiv me b 4 I post the link)

Pete

 

lol @ pete

i iz got AWD too and AWS and TC

no RWD for me

infact its near impossible to get the bugger to donut *willing to bet money* yet not impossible to make it drift big stylee

plus i now want a car thats real quick 0-100 as im gona be startin up my own limo business shortly and cant afford to be doing 100+ licence loser speeds as much SVX will go waaaaayy past 160, not that i condone doing these speeds just the temptation is always there, reckon if ive just got a point to point *pace car* it will reduce my urge to drive like a bat out of hell.

Al

 

duh > me,

Thought the SVX was a rwd
Tell u wot though re the u wanna give me, Dave or Steve a shot on Sunday so we can test out u r theory ?

Pete

 

yeh shot for a shot seems fair

can get it to drift round the oval no problems (even without diesel down) think the Traction control kicks in too much to get it to donut, i never say never though, just reckon its awfie hard in this car

still send me the link to your trashed car lol will tell her its a RWD anyway haha

 

Al,

Here u go m8 http://www.scoobymods.co.uk/MR2rip.jpg
Really liked that mota 2 cost me 4 hrs in A&E that did
Never mind though eh, it motivated me in2 gettin summin safe (big red). Tell u wot though it`s amazing how u r drivin changes once u had 1 like that Kinda put me off the Supra it did.

Pete

 

Pete

Cani see you in an MR2 mate Are they no a bit....em...girly

 

ouch!! sore one.

exactly why i wouldnt get a rear wheel drive

your better off with a scoob anyways, more of a *manly* car lol

 

LOL @ Andy

Tell u wot m8 it was mad fast @ accelerating once it stopped spinning In the 26 hours I had it, had a play with a geezer in a Ferrari (he obviously didn`t know about the turbo`d mr2) and I recon he was surprised Managed 2 rack up bout 400 miles of phun (grin factor was high) then later on cos of diesel on the road that happened U right though was a bit hairdresser ish. Was a good scuse 4 gettin a scoob though don`t u think

Pete

 

Used to have a hairdressy car (cossie ) but it went about the same time as the hair

 

Andy,

Wasn`t that the cause of the hair ?? :P
