Gambit

Will do mate passes will come a lot later though so should be time foe everyone to get booked in I just need to know who's paid so I can atleast try get more passes if we go over. I'll start making a note of who's paid now then that way I know way I can prioritise the passes. So must post or PM me once paid for a ticket to get a pass booked :)

Could but would mean myself or someone standing down there not sure the Santa pod staff want to give them out. They only did the 3 as a favour as the later on after we had booked but all being well we're booked on now got 25 passes to go at if they go sooner I can maybe get more but as it's costing me out of my own pocket to send each pass out I want to make sure they're 100% going or will do what Scooby Pete did and sell it on to someone who wants to go ticket and pass :)

I'd prefer it that way but no. But anyone that takes a pass and then doesn't turn up to the event I'll put on a year ban :D Haha

BigD you need to state this "Please make clear whether the trade area is required within the club area or in the actual trade section." I will PM you the email of who you need to speak with. Forms been submitted And looks like the 25 passes will go fast so get them tickets booked peeps. And Boots the Bbq you bring it still and if so can we use it on the tarmac ? If so I'll bring me meat :D

Hello mate Shame not many SVX about anymore we have a few members with some beauties still. And still an amazing looking car today if I do say so myself. Unfortunately I can't comment on the maintenance of the car but hopefully one of the other members can :D

I would also point out you have taken it to a Subaru specialist And Subaru clinic has a reputable name in the industry, not sure they will want to get involved mind but a bit of names dropping won't hurt to the garage you bought it from and point out they have said this is the problem. if they refuse to sort it after Now I know we had a post about Tony Hough I don't have his details but I've taken note and he does seem to have some good feedback for being cheap and doing a good job. so i can source that for you in Rotherham. I would recommend Martin every day of the week but I am a fan of the underdog and martin has never let me down, so I'd also recommend him. Unless you want Clinc to sort it that is your choice I have nothing against them personally. But least you have alternative options if the garage you bought it from refuse to sort the issue. You might need to pay for the repair then court to get cash back. I'd only worry though if it was what the garage said it was in part x sold as seen. In other words it was quickly looked at an taken in nothing done to it and sold on as quick as they took it in. I'd also message Alex he has an ongoing battle with a garage for his car. :)

Yeah think they are meeting up I did ask for our stand to be put next to theirs not sure if it is or not.

I've never looked at wheel nuts/lugs and thought they look chavy :D But Muteki do a good range but lots of fakes about.so have to be minds full where you gte them from. But only thing I would look for is stee, avoid alloy read some horror stories thats out me off. :(

Any pic's ?

Looks nice mate I'll give you 3 weeks ;)

congratulations mate. and at least you have a real mans car to replace what was once your ball's [emoji1] but I must admit puts me off marriage is the cost a lot of money for one day and a massive pi$$ up. oh and a certificate to say you've now sold your life lol. I can get alot of car parts for that. [emoji6]

Hope you have a great day peeps :) xx

nice one. mate just thought be cool and maybe help sell some ;) I could send the design for him if nothing else.

Shame I didn't know if you could work the postage out with him personally :(

I'm guessing old style military jeep :)

Nice hope the weather holds out for you guys :) Remember pictures ;)

Anyone messaged that guy on facebook about some ?

That's the other joke it's not Road tax anymore hasn't been for years. As you said they just replace stuff to keep making us pay

No worries :) Here you go mate look at the pictures. I'm guessing he's getting mixed up with the pipe work being 3" at a guess. http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_53&products_id=3396

Yeah they all come like that just a highflow bell mouth by the looks of it.

Any chance you could record it and get it on youtube ? Is it doing it when the car is running and stationary or just when it moves at slow speed. ? :D Might be a pulley or something non major. But could be bottom end or diffs :(

I was referring to the failure at high speed causing the accident. About 15 20 years ago guy I knew was doing about 130mph in his Escort RS when his tyre let go flinging him into the lampposts killing him instantly. I've also had a tyre let go not as high speed but it happens. I think mine was due to the potholes bubbling the inside tyre on the low profiles. But fully agree that every crash I have been in or witnesses was almost down to human error. And not speed related. And my MOT tester openly admits it's only as good as it was when tested something could fail as you drive out the place that would fail it but at the point its done for 12month, one of the reasons he doesn't pull me up about the cats. My biggest gripe is there is lot's of factors that can make speedometers wrong or their speed guns, also the fact they sit hidden or on parts of roads that I generally see as over taking spot's long straights on A roads places I've never seen a death or accidents ever then say it's to save lives yet statistics show that to be wrong. I know not long ago can't remember where it was now was in the UK they removed all speed cameras and had slightly fewer crashes than when they was there.

I'll admit I'm a strong believer in it's not speed that kills people it's human error like Tidgy pointed out. I've been driving long enough to make my own mistakes and see others. All must be down to miss judgment. I'll take the German Autobahn has the least accidents in europe yet you can do what you like flatout if you want. I bet any crash on it is someone crawling in the middle lane. Now I appreciate tyre failure at high speed is a factor that can cause death or mechanical for that fact. I also think any high speed racing should be done on track. But what I hate is how easy it is to go over a speed limit and maybe the speedo not up to what the Police camera read's. Oh and the whole it saves lives B$ come on the Treasury earns billions a year from speeding tickets keep that cash cow rolling.

DRIVERS face being fined and even prosecuted for creeping over the speed limit by as little as 1mph under plans being drawn up by police in some parts of the country. The proposal would result in tens of thousands more speeding tickets being issued and force drivers to keep a far closer eye on their speedometers. Under the current system, contained in police guidelines, drivers are allowed a margin of error of 10% plus 2mph. That means, for example, that police won’t usually prosecute motorists travelling at up to 35mph in a 30mph zone. By the same calculation drivers travelling at up to 79mph on motorways are unlikely to be prosecuted. The guidelines were introduced in 2000 to take account of the possibility of inaccuracy in speed cameras. They were also intended to reassure drivers that the system was fair, rather than simply a money-raising racket. Now police in Scotland have announced that they are axeing the thresholds. From this autumn Scottish drivers going fractionally over the limit will receive formal warning letters. If they are stopped a second time, they will receive a £100 penalty notice and three penalty points or be reported for prosecution. The new procedures, approved by the Scottish government, will be tested in a six-month pilot project. Scottish police — unlike those in England and Wales — have never disclosed the margin of error they use, although it is thought to be similar to that of the rest of the country. If the pilot is successful in reducing accidents, as police hope, it may be adopted by other forces in the UK. The College of Policing, which issues codes of practice to forces in England and Wales, is due to review the speeding enforcement guidelines this year, including the 10% plus 2mph threshold. Today, official police guidance states that police speed cameras are approved to work with a maximum tolerance of 2mph at speeds of up to 66mph and 3% thereafter According to Superintendent Iain Murray, head of road policing in Scotland, the change is being driven by safety considerations. “We are talking about people who might be law-abiding in every other respect but fail to realise the risk they pose by driving on autopilot or failing to pay enough attention to what is going on around them,” he told the Scottish daily The Herald last week. “The use of formal warning will enable us to challenge this behaviour, provide real-time education and monitor how behaviour changes by looking at re-offending rates.” Murray would not be interviewed by The Sunday Times but a spokesman for Police Scotland confirmed that repeat offenders would be penalised. “If you were just fractionally over the first time, you would be given a warning, but if you were to again just be fractionally over, you would be given a fixed penalty or it would be reported to the [procurator] fiscal,” he said. The spokesman said the details of the pilot study — including how speeding would be detected — were still being worked out. Another reason for the change could be recent advances in speed camera technology. The 10% plus 2mph was introduced 15 years ago when the rise in the number of speed cameras required a formalised threshold above which drivers would be penalised and that could be standardised across the country. Before that, prosecution was left to officers’ discretion. Today, official police guidance states that police speed cameras are approved to work with a maximum tolerance of 2mph at speeds of up to 66mph and 3% thereafter, which would mean that drivers travelling at 63mph or more on a 60mph road could be prosecuted. Average speed cameras are even more accurate because they monitor cars over a longer distance, says Geoff Collins from Vysionics, the Surrey-based firm that makes the Specs cameras used to enforce speed limits through motorway roadworks. “The 10% plus 2mph [threshold] isn’t really necessary in order to make allowances for camera inaccuracy,” Collins said. He pointed out that the cameras measure a car’s speed over a long distance, so any inaccuracies in their placing would typically result in an error of less than 0.1%. “Technically it is possible to enforce slight breaches in the limit.” The law states that a car’s speedometer must not display a speed slower than that at which it is moving, though a large margin of error is allowed in the other direction. Motoring groups sounded a warning against the changes, saying they could unintentionally result in motorists paying less attention to the road ahead. “Of course, the speed limit is the limit and people should abide by it,” said Edmund King, president of the AA. “However, you do need a degree of flexibility. You do not want people concentrating 100% on the speedo. You want people concentrating on the road ahead, the potential hazards ahead, and that can mean you might be 2mph-3mph over the limit. You shouldn’t be, but doing that and concentrating on what is going on around you is far safer than continually looking down at your speedo.” “You do not want people concentrating 100% on the speedo. You want people concentrating on the road ahead and that can mean you might be 2mph-3mph over the limit.” Edmund King, president of the AA. Police forces are under pressure to cut injuries on the road after government figures published last month showed that road casualties in Britain had risen by 6% last year, returning to 2012 levels. Scrapping the margin for error is the latest in a number of initiatives aimed at reducing speeding. Speed enforcement is already on the increase, especially on sections of “smart” motorways, where variable limits are used to regulate traffic flow and speed cameras ensure that drivers are complying with the rules. A new generation of camera, known as Hadecs 3, is being installed on motorways, including the M25, M1, M4 and M6 this year. It is used to enforce the 70mph limit when the variable speed limits are switched off. Towns and cities are also seeing stricter speed limits. Research by The Sunday Times found that three-quarters of councils had introduced 20mph speed limits in the past two years, slowing cars on more than 20,000 roads. Police forces have now begun enforcing this in some areas. However, enforcing small breaches of the speed limit may require more effort than reprogramming speed cameras, say experts. Nick Freeman, the lawyer nicknamed “Mr Loophole”, who writes for The Sunday Times, warns that any new fines would be open to challenge. “The first thing is the legal principle called de minimis, which means it’s so slight that it’s not really infringing the law,” he said. “At 51mph, 52mph [on a 50mph road], you are certainly de minimis. It would be an enormous waste of taxpayers’ money to pursue this type of very trivial prosecution.”

Still have places on the stand to fill :)
