Hi Phil, my heart stopped too when i saw the bill behind, i guess you saw him before me as i was busy checking out how low your scoob is.
Do you have prodrive springs or coil overs, as mine is completely standard and im soon gonna change the suspension and exhuast cat back soon.

p.s. did u have the car before ppp, if so what do u think of the upgrade.

cheers

Nice to meet some other UK300 owners I have number 264.

I hve just had my springs swapped for Eibachs which were fitted and setup by The Power Station. IMO totally changes the look of the car and the drive is much better
Im also told that the Eibachs sit lower that the PPP springs, not sure though but mine sits just about right IMO.

Hi chaps and ladies ...

> Merv - he did come out of nowhere didn't he, although having a baby on board does somewhat restrain my right foot from hitting the carpet which was fortunate on Sunday Will look out for you again bud ...

I've had the car from 11k and 14 months now. It had PPP from new but it has progressively loosened up since I've had it and is continuing to do so. It is plenty quick enough with PPP on the car, pulls very hard through the mid-range compared to a standard car. Just seems to get better and better tbh. I've also got an ITG panel filter. In terms of suspension I've got the Eibach Pro Kit fitted my my mate Knowlesy down at Xtremescoobies .. top notch outfit and friendly service ( Fitzscoob will concur here ). Had the geometry set up a few weeks after it was fitted. Does transform the looks of the car, sits very squat and agressively and is better round the twisties - it's about halfway there to having Leda B IMHO. Money well spent. This explains why the car was low, had nothing to do with the missus being in the back with my boy .. just kidding, she's only 8st again now !!!

Mark - we'll definitely hook up for a bevvie soon, I'll bell you chief. family is well thanks, the little man is growing quickly as you can imagine - starting to cause havoc, in a mischievous way

Cheers

Joanuk300 - don't think it was me!!

mc-uk300 - out of interest is your car diffently no. 302?? i was under the impression that 301 is the final one of the line as only 300 were made and they don't do no. 13's.

I quite like having the last one made!

Hi pippyrips

sorry, my scoob is definately 302, but i suspect there is a 303 out there somewhere as the japs have 3 unlucky numbers. There are no seats with numbers 4, 9 and 13 on passenger planes of the All Nippon Airways.
