Dogconker Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'd wait until the results are in, there's always a risk with the predicted weather that I might just end up sat in the garden with a BBQ and a crate of Stella cider. But I start with the right idea. [emoji6] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I followed a budget subaru today, this will require some explanation. Right so I'm behind a black 51 plate subaru, has no badges on it at all but has an STi badge on the left of the boot had a baked bean can exhaust and colour coded components courtesy of hammerite. Sounded like the engine had some very angry dwarves in it with large hammers who were pretty keen on getting out. But I have my doubts this was in fact an STi. The badge looked a little odd, I pulled up behind him in the McDonald's drive thru and that's when it made sense. The STi badge wasn't an STi badge really it was one he'd obviously printed off on his computer, laminated and then glued to the back of his car. You have no idea how sad I felt after I had stopped laughing. Seriously, may as well have stuck a Ferrari badge on it. Good on him for owning a scoob, but shame for trying to pretend its something better than it is.

4758nigel Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 someone with taste that's who you are gambit ;) he could have at least bought a proper STi badge and stuck that on or an entire boot lid with the STi badge already on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 He wasn't too old, so he'd probably spent his life's savings on this years insurance. He'd have been better getting some STi flaps or just leaving it shaved Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well the Pube van in all it's glory. If you have watched The mask with Jim Carrey when the car valet guy pulls around "The Loner" It was a bit like that :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaulson Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I've not done much, fitted a couple of blue vac hoses on the car and got myself a full set of Avon ZV5's ready to go on sometime this week. Mainly been away in the hills over the weekend and driven back today, sun was blazing and plenty of activity on the roads. Nice cars on the road and so on, made for a great birthday drive :) . Also been given as a present a Subaru World Rally Team watch, it's spotless except for a couple of scuffs on the inside of the links. You have to study it to find them though! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
