4758nigel Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 took scoob out for an "airing" loving it even for an auto i can easily hit 70mph ;) *cough*100mph before i even know what's going on. what channel is fast and loud on i sometimes watch wheeler dealers (my 10y/o son loves it) but hoping that fast n loud will replace that ;)
stants Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Discovery channel, it's a good laugh, the guy who owns the garage seems to have chilled out a bit, couldn't work out where I'd seen him before he did the gumball from LA to miami and he looked like a stereotypical american Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk
hilli182 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 He allegedly broke the gumball record too. As far as car shows its definitely the best show on tv
hilli182 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Just read it's the cannonball run he's still the record holder for. Has a net worth of 8 million apparently. Alright for some isn't it ha
tom_gr7 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 I aint touched my scooby today, although, i was shocked when I saw the neighbors kids washing his scooby outback with a single bucket and kitchen sponges!
tje Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 I spent a good half hour trying to get the nearside sidelight out again to clean/check the connection. Just ened up with some scratched fingers, a bruised hand and have up. Will make another attempt tomorrow
4758nigel Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 oh crap! is it really that difficult to remove the side light? i've got a blown bulb/faulty connection n hadn't got round to sorting it yet
david1972 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Today I've purchased some things to spruce up my baby ready for NBO 12, namely: Genuine Subaru Resin Rear Bumper Protector Loctite rust remedy (to treat my rear wiper arm) Cans of primer and satin black spray paint (for use after afore mentioned rust treatment) Osram cool blue intense sidelight bulbs to upgrade (in line with headlight bulb upgrade already done) Dodo Juice light fantastic wax (panel pot size to try) Tomorrow I'm going to order some touch up paint from the local dealership and order some Bosch Aerotwin front Wiper Blades I do love a bit of goodie shopping for the motor :D 3

Gaulson Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Are those clouds meant to be on your car?... :P Very clean! I went for an hour long drive yesterday and didn't race her once, just drove nicely the whole way. No idea what was up with me ;)

stants Posted April 20, 2014 Author Posted April 20, 2014 Ah fair enough : ) thought I may have missed it Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk
mfnick Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Well, after reading Jonny and Hilli's recommendation for that Demon Shine Snow Foam I decided to buy some while getting some lacquer from Halfords. Also got a drying squeegee and thought I'd try the Demon Shine spray on wax stuff too since it was buy 2 get another £9.99 item for free. Got to agree with You guys, it's great stuff. That wax stuff is really good too. Obviously not a substitute for doing it properly but gives it a really nice finish if you haven't got time to give it a proper go. Very impressed. I also lacquered my alloys. Bought the high strength Halfords stuff which they recommend for alloys. It's ****! Just clogs the nozzle up after a few sprays. Ended up getting a spotty finish on one alloy because of the inconsistent spray. Spent more time !Removed! about with the nozzle than doing the actual job. It's also got rid of the nice, bright glossy shine they had. Hoping they look better after it dries and I've given them a polish and wax.

Dogconker Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Took mine to North Wales and drove it through mud and on a rocky beach. Looks like I'll be giving her a clean tomorrow now, and a Hoover to get the sand out of the foot wells [emoji15] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
