Just coming out of the BP petrol station at The Sovereign? Yorkshire Simon, was it you? If not, who was it?

We were in the MY02 WR Blue wagon with Morettes, just turning left. Wife was driving, I was enjoying the view.....

How the hell did you guess it was me....

Certainly was... Funny, thought it was you when I saw the car coming towards me.... LOL.

Me and the missus popped up to wash the two cars. Kate came out of the other exit. You might have seen her pulling out of the main junction in the blue Saxo...

You got on here before me, would have posted last night, but my laptop is up in the air....

See you later

Hi Simon - Mmmmm.... How did I guess it was you???? Let me think -STi, WR Blue - not exactly a Ford Focus is it, Mate! ;0)

Anyway, glad we've clocked each other at last. Didn't see Kate's Saxo to be honest, but there again, I'm more attuned to Scooby spotting.

Definitely see you around Mate! All the best, Harry.

Got to be honest, havn't seen any other blue STi 7 around here yet!!

Blue/Black one though in local village the other day

Was nice to see you anyway, will know who you are now when I see a cyclist on the tops. Not many scooby owners wave to cyclists do they....

Cheers

Simon

Hi Simon - I'll try to wave when I'm on the bike, but take a wide swing in case I fall off - it has been know to happen (with alarming regularity.....)

Incidentally, did see a lass driving a blue/black STi7 near where we clocked, a couple of times about a month ago. Not seen since....

Must be living around here somewhere....

By the way, nice Morettes as well Looked great.

Saw in the Gallery last night someones Prodrive STi with UK300 lights on. Very impressive.... Might try and do a swap with a UK300 owner if they fancy....

Email me you email address mate. Will have to arrange to meet up sometime and exchange notes. If you haven't got your speakers in yet, you can listen to my 605's. Subs badly needed though now as these things don't drive any bass really...

Cheers

Hi Simon - when we ordered the car, I was in two minds about the Morettes, but knew that I wouldn't be able to live with the standard bugeyes. Luckily, I managed to do a good deal with Alain Knockaert.

UK300 lights on a STi7 - sounds slightly retro, but could be interesting.....

I'll mail you offline Mate - I'd like a listen to the 605s!!

Cheers, Harry.

Simon, it will be tints next and you'll start to look and sound like a pimp.

I'd stick with the STI lights if I were you. If you do intend to swap, the STI assembly is worth way more than the Morettes. Better to hang onto them for when you either sell the car or realise your mistake.

Simon,

Let me know what you think of the tints. A while back but I posted the details for Barry (Shades). I'm thinking of investing £230 as well. Let me know what you went for as well?

Hi Steve

No problems at all. My only gripe was, as non smoker, I never let anyone smoke in my cars. However, when the guy is working flat out for 3 hours, I didn't have the heart to tell him not to smoke in his workshop whilst my car doors were open. So the car stinks this afternoon, but nothing an air freshner will not sort out I guess.

He and his partner in crime have done a great job. For the tints to take their final look, a few days worth or drying out is needed so time will tell I guess. But initial thoughts are great.

Cheers

Simon

Hi Simon - catch you later for a meet Mate. Look forward to seeing the pimp tints - gotta be careful how dark we go with ours, as the dogs won't be able to see out otherwise....

Hi Daphne

Sorry, no it wasn't me. Or at least I don't think it was. Last time I went to Harewood was about 11 years ago and watched Didier Auriol roll his Celica about 9 times down the hill in the RAC Rally. Much fun!!

I am over on the Peninnes, West Yorks. Don't really get North Yorks much.

Harry

Car looks great now. Got my STi mud flaps yesterday so fitted them on myself this afternoon. Looks ready to be taken for a spin by Tommi, LOL...

Mmmm, what next. PPP please......

See ya l8r

PPP - now you're talking Simon. I've been promised one for my 40th, but as I've just had to buy a 2nd car to keep the Scoob nice, I'm not too sure....

It is a must, just do it.... As Del Boy used to say, you know it makes sense...

At least you can get one now, I have got another 2-3 months to wait.
