Miggs

Does he have one of these?

I have a tendency of chasing people when I get road rage, I've reversed down a motorway on 2 separate occasions, I've forced a van into the hard shoulder so I can get face to face with the driver lol, you'd just see me shooting off out of the convoy

Horses for courses as they say, I have some cut down scaffold planks that I used to use to get the jack under some of my past cars, I now find them handy for putting axle stands and trolley jacks on to get the extra height

Welcome aboard, there's no car as fun for the money as a subie

My was having a play against a monaro the other day, said the guy was pushing the monaro and my mate was only on half boost, he went on the slip road so my mate put his foot down and lost sight of the monaro from the rear view in 3 seconds lol

I've never heard of that happening, if that's the case then tell the seller to fill up the tank and if it turns off then the buyer will be interested, I'm 99 percent sure it won't go off without a code reader

A bluetooth obd scanner, they can be found on ebay

My radios have settings for voice recognition, I talk it sends, I just clip it on my shirt/coat

Cars these days will go up to and beyond 200k with a well looked after engine, mines close to 160k and still going strong

Most people have android or apple phones/tablets these days, you can get a bluetooth obd scanner and an app called torque from the relevant market for your phone, this will allow you to scan the codes on any obd 2 car, if you have an android device you can get an app called aptoide, it's free and when you open it you get another app store with all the same apps in but the ones you pay for in the play store are free via aproide

I'm not writing that in all the convoy posts you put up lol

Welcome aboard, car sounds just like a normal subie to be fair, my air filter makes a noise like death video breathing in, if I let off the throttle slowly the dump valve sounds like him breathing out lol

I think the best thing to do is find someone who can scan it for you and tell you what the problem is

I find putting it on your chest and lifting up is easiest with a gearbox, put some padding on your chest first though lol

It might just be me, I've been burned by garages before so I'm very dubious

Darn shame but as said at least it's being sorted

Welcome aboard fella, hope you enjoy your stay, nice motor too, really love white scoobs

What better reason is there that you want to drive it lol

Well written and thought out, I've found in the past with conveying if a couple of people can invest a few quid in walkie talkies then hand them out to the participants it's much easier to keep track of what everyone is doing as it's dangerous to be looking through your phone book hoping you have the number for at least one of the convoy members, you can retrieve the walkie talkies once you reach your destination

60 kgs isn't that heavy, you can lift a scoob engine with 2 people, I have a bad back but can easily lift a gearbox, it's just 2 bags of sand

No if he's telling you its fine to drive it now, would he buy it off you knowing you've been driving it with a knackered head gasket Or as he works with them, at the moment it's about 2-300 to fix it, when the heads warped or cracked you may as well double that, and the labour is going to double too, if he's going to be fixing it then he will be able to make more money from you the more damage that's done

I'm sure there's some rubber stops on the boot you can wind out so it stops any moving, all I have to do with mine is gently close the boot with no pressure and it shuts straight away on the latch, passes me off as the wife and kids all slam it, but it doesn't rattle when I drive, are the bolts on the hinges tight?

Yeh, has he offered to do the work? I'd be thinking he might be trying to get it more damaged to be able to charge you more for the work

I have to agree, I've always said to the wife that when I go I want to go doing something that puts a smile on my face

My impreza turbo is the same price to insure as my mk2 golf gti was, the golf had all mods declared, v6 engine with 210bhp full stainless custom exhaust, coilovers, extremely rare polished dish alloys with a 4" lip, full sound system with over £1200 worth of stuff and corado interior, subie has engine and exhaust mods, brake mods, body mods and sound system, both just over £300 fully comp
