Mark,

How comes the Wales Forum is not very active?

Where are all of you gone?

Actually how many welsh scoobies are registered on scoobynet?

Hope to hear from you lot soon.

Mark, Been in Swansea quite a bit lately and have noticed bloody cameras everywhere.
Logix, I too have noticed it's been a bit quite on here lately, even regulars like Dave W haven't been around. Anyway are we going to have a get together soon. I'll start the ball rolling myself. How about sometime late March ,early April. Usual thing , meet in pub ,chat , drive etc. Maybe start earlier than usual on a Sunday and make our way to Mid wales or something like that. Any ideas ,dates welcome.

Cheers

Chip.

Chip,

I have been here.....in stealth mode mate keeping an eye on all you hooligans

As for unmarked cars, radar etc. there must be a campaign in the area at the moment.

My colleague in work got gunned last week (still waiting for his envelope to pop through the letterbox )

My boss got lasered last week and then pursued by unmarked vectra (dark metallic green), another 3 points and sixty pound fine (quite lucky in my opinion as he was had doing 95 in a 60 ).

I've come across three radar / laser traps in the last two weeks.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.......LOL.

As for a meet....YES.....this time lets ALL get together and make it another good one. Mid Wales sounds very good to me (also a meet been organised for April 29th by various readers of EVO magazine for the mid wales area-I'll keep you all posted).

Getting together for that pint needs to be sorted soon too Chip.....we'll have to sort something out though as we all live fairly far apart (getting home after I've had one or two...or maybe more ).

Cya all soon,

David

Well being from Kidderminster in Worcstershire I am not far away from the good old Welsh border. If anything was happening near in Wales I would be up for it. Perhaps the camp in Walse might spark some interest?

I had mine dome at KP's £117 for my 7500m service - seems alot for oil and washer fluid!

The amazing Proton 1.5 gs loan car was the icing on the cake.

Where do you all go for servicing then? CVC?
I don't fancy a Proton for the day.

They were a bit short on loan cars - so they said. It took me about 5 mins to stop laughing when I drove it!

Thumbs up

Hi!Quite pleased to Hear from you lot again.

Well I suppose the Proton is better than the Justy, but then at least you get all wheel drive!!

The service cost me £102
Had check engine light come on so asked them to sort it out.
I had the lambda senor changed under warranty
Quite pleased with their overall service.

Had my door repair in CVC few weeks ago done an excellent job.I asked them to spray my horrid orange wedge under the the front indicators aswell which they did for free.

Ask for Jamie (bodyshop manager)he's the best,his brother Jason (sales manager)is a bit snobby I find. Its a family run business

I'm going back soon to CVC to have my side moulding done next week.

Interested in the meet might see you lot soon

Had my first 6 months service done by DJR motors in Carmarthen, ex Subaru dealer, now prepare rally cars etc. Full check, oil, filter etc. was around £95.

Definately seemed to know their stuff too.

Sorry if I haven't been "moderating" for the last few days.....had a MAJOR crash on my computer and spent the last couple of evenings sorting it out

Cya all soon
