Is that vicky pollard

I know we was hoping to go as a club at the start of the year, but after a few personal problem with some of the other members ended up seeing it past this year for the full subaru weekend but if I was going that way it has to be worth a trip :)

I've always wanted to do Spa I've never been there yet I intended to though :)

The Isle of Man TT - which is on this week - is all about motorbikes going ridiculously fast on a twisty closed public road, but there are occasional times when a car gets a look-in. One of these moments occurred today, when rally driver Mark Higgins belted around the famous Snaefell Mountain Course behind the wheel of the latest Subaru WRX STI in 19 minutes and 26 seconds, clocking an incredible average speed of 116.47mph. That’s some way off the fastest bike lap (17 minutes 6.682sec at 132mph set only a few days ago by New Zealander Bruce Anstey) but still hugely impressive. Higgins reckons a quicker lap could have been possible, too. We’ll be keeping a close eye on any future attempts. The lap betters Higgins’ own record of 115.36mph, which he set in 2011 aboard the previous generation WRX STI. His 2011 attempt smashed the previous record of 102mph, which was set way back in 1992 by the late rally driver Tony Pond in a Rover SD1. The new record was set using a US-spec WRX STI, with the addition of a roll cage, updated suspension, beefier brake pads, a race seat and a straight-through exhaust to give a little extra drama for the spectators. Footage of the whole lap is yet to be released, but this passing shot filmed by a spectator gives you an idea of how fast you have to be whipping to set records in this place.

No worries mate welcome to join us. And I love Nurburgring the Green Hell only been once and never been so freaked out. But was worried about crashing and how quick bikes come past me along with a few cars ok I admit it I bottled it :D

Will get Steve to up it on Fakebook, :)

Me too but people still need a console in their lives ;)

I'm sure you can pay on the gate it's the club stand is there main concern. but don't hold me to that when I went I just paid at the gate and had a look around.

We have a few members from your Wales not sure anyone has tried to organize anything through us as way of meets though. We have Japfest 2 coming up if that interest you Boot's whose Legacy was on 5th gear if you see it being driven by tiff lives your way on :) so plenty of opportunities to convoy across ;)

Not really mate I think people are expecting the money grabbing holiday now Australian founder to make it something good. I still think it's a year away before it will be anything like the mod is today :( I still think it's good but the mod is still better at the moment in time.

I'm pretty sure it's been a well planned marketing idea M$ don't miss a thing. Just hope it pays of for the us gamers :)

I made a post just for Horizon 2 Been caught out already for skim reading welcome to Moderators

Well you have now and hopefully be suited to your idea of a forum, friendly bunch on here we try to have a bit of everything on here but more importantly have fun :)

Cheers savage was just telling Ash on the phone about the thread and about the sniff test. Must have read my mind or tapped my phone ;)

I don't but I do know a man who can do them for you :D

It's just being sorted now mate well a paypal form or a webpage with a paypal account to be paid into :) once it's sorted I will let everyone know, same as the memberships. :) So you're free to get some beers in for now

Do you not read the forum pfft

I'd say the waste gate maybe didn't open properly giving it a boot when warm should help build pressure around the engine in turn free it. I'm a strong believer in every car needs a good boot from time to time :)

Will send you an email in a minute mate. Just bear in mind I'm no mechanic :) Martin at Sheffield Subaru Services would be beter to speak with if he's not to busy and i'm sure he wouldn't mind advising you on the phone. But I will email you my number either way mate.

Hi mate welcome to S.O.C And yep been there with the Mafs same as you but I went with a 2nd hand one :( Didn't pay off for me either. Mind you I did say I would only have one child now have 3 so never do learn ;) And please feel free to have a look around the forum and join in on the threads. I've seen your profile picture on another forum or on facebook not sure which now :D

Sound good to me mate :D

Well you get them for being a subscribed/vip/paid member not just for donation towards the flag like Scooby Pete I will do both as I want to be going to the events too :) So makes sense for me to become paid up and donate :)

Right I have a price for the flag and stand plus postage £156.18 thats with discount :) So we now have a target to aim for, just sorting out designs and a way of paying. But listen to this I just got from Steve " Halfords cards are being printed by Halfords for us, we will be the only club in existence to have our own branded halfords card! Of course the contributors will get one of these. Kind regards -Steve" How damn cool will that be ;) Not sure if I was meant to share that bit with you lot yet but I'm easily excitable :D

Get the front ended lifted mate then bleed I've heard this before and Tlag confirmed it to be the best way, I know they are a pain to bleed. And I'm with you doubt the Head Gasket has gone if the hose came off and was fine until then. Hopefully be able to get it sorted and on that boat I want to see the pictures ;)

Whoop-whoop like a big kid I'm pretty excited about this :D And it's not even mine :)
