springbok

Hi Neil,
How's the camera, good I hope. I'll be going along, and will see if anyone else wants to make the trip down to deepest darkest
Do you know where the Pencalenick school is in Tresillian near Truro, haven't a clue myself.
Tris I'll give you a bell this week,
Cheers,
Grahame.

Hi Grahame

The school is 2 mins down the road from me and easy to find.

If you want give me a call when you are near and I can give you directions.

Neil

P.S the camara is good thanks.

Eagle7

give me a bell when this is going on, i'll come along too.

SUTTS

I will come along for the ride, but be gentle guys you know I'm new!!

scoobdoo

It's this weekend guys

Have a look at the website Tour Of Cornwall
The times of the 2 spectator runs on Saturday are ;

12.40PM to 2.50PM at Pencalenick School (Near Truro), stage run twice.

4.35PM to 7.20PM Visit the Service area at Camborne College.

6.20PM to 8.50PM at Hendra Holiday Park in Newquay, stage run twice.

With it being a Saturday, Sainsburys will be pretty busy.
How about meeting at the Little Chef at Trerulefoot (SP?) roundabout, the one with the Shell petrol station.
That way Tris wont have to come into Plymouth and double back on himself.
Would say 10.30AM be OK with people, that will give us time for a chat, re-fueling and then head down to Truro and meet up with Neil.

Sutts, no worries we are all big girls blouses when it comes to driving Well Tris is anyway

Neil, will Kingjai and the Evo be coming along?

Har har! I should be ok for that time chaps, but I am working nights this week so if I have a hectic night I will text Grahame in the early hours of the morning! (keep the phone on silent mate!) to meet you down there. But I will definately be going down, one way or the other!! See you all soon.
Ps Sutts I have that info on how to recognise if your car is an sti or not!

N_Collins

Sorry guys but I'm only going to be able to make it to hendra.

Yes kingjai and the evo are going.

Hi Guys,

Picked it up last night.

Should of had it 6 weeks ago!! Better late than never

One word to describe it - AWESOME.

Had quite a bit done to it already so I don't know how it would compare to a standard STi8.

Only disappointing thing is can't drive over 4000rpm yet. Oh and the stereo isn't sorted yet.
Anyone know a good audio fitter? Once my headunit arrives (?next week) I'll have all the kit and will need it fitting.

Look forward to seeing you all again - hopefully VERY SOON.
Anyone fancy an evening drive out. Now that the evenings are getter lighter it seems like a good time to take avantage of them.

Take care

Simon

SimonJM

Forgot to ask - what is the tour of Cornwall? Any ideas of dates?

Simon

springbok

Hi Simon,
Glad to hear you finally got your motor, what colour did you get in the end. The reason I ask is that I just (10.30AM'ish) my first 03 on the road, going towards milehouse from Crownhill, it was black. All I saw was this huge scoop coming down the road

The Tour of Cornwall is a car Rally and it's on tomorrow! See above for times and meeting place. We won't be going mad so you should be able to keep up with having to stick below 4K.
First stage is down near Truro and Second is near Newquay.

Cheers,
Grahame.

SUTTS

Sorry Guys to short notice for me to come along this time, but maybe as the evenings are lighter now we could get out to play.
I also saw a black beast 03 today manadon heading to crownhill, very tasty car.

SUTTS

Scoobdoo thanks for that mate will get the info off you sometime soon, Simon try Mobile Car Alarms for your stereo, he's cheap, reliable,proffessional, cleans up any mess and he comes to you, sorted.

scoobdoo

Simon isn`t going to get this message before we meet is he! Cross fingers he will put the golf sticks down and go on the internet tonight! Hope you do mate, I want a looksie at this new car!

SimonJM

Hi Grahame / Tris,

I did go for black at the end of the day. I originally ordered blue, but changed my mind - too many blue cars now!!!

If that was mine you saw at 10.30am then I'm very worried - it was parked outside my department at work all morning. I'm even more worried if there is another black STi driving around

I'd love to have come tomorrow, but I've got my old folks here for the weekend and I'm playing golf at 13.00. If I can make it I'll try and get to the services at Trerulefoot just to say hi, but it depends on what I'm doing with my mum and dad.

Hope to see you all soon

Simon

SimonJM

Hi Sutts,

What time did you spot the black STi?
I live very close to Crownhill and have been off work this pm.
I have been in and out several times this afternoon.
It could have been me, especially if it had pimp tints on the windows.

Simon

Neil

springbok

Hi Neil,
Here's a few more, I read that he retired after hitting a chip shop wall? I didn't think they were supposed to stop off for food in-between stages If he would like Hi Res shots give me a shout, I may have a few more as well,
Cheers, Grahame.
