  1. Welcome to S.O.C I will start with that better news :) My bad news :( Sounds like head gasket mate But we have many other's on here who know more then me might say something else. But from my own experience oil in the coolant was head gasket.
  2. It look's like my mum when I've done something wrong
  3. Does look like Jack black Can't remember guns in the movie :)
  4. Oh welcome back mate you had me worried for a minute ;) And it's now official you have one of the coolest job's X2 on this forum :D To be fair I know I give Audi some stick it's not the car's I hate it's the W8nkers that drive them and not all of them just 98% of them :) And funny enough I live near a port that drop's them off among many other cars. And a friend of mine on Facebook posted the name of a famous footballer it was for :D Said the R8 is a very nice car to drive. But it had a speed restriction still on it, but 120mph was possible on private roads of course ;)
  5. Worth having an OEM one I have one sat in the garage. From the people who have reported problem's with After market dumb valves it's most of the time from when they have changed it at the start so would say you will be ok. :D
  6. Only this but is dated 2008 but the rumors all point to a 2014 return if it's true http://www.carnecks.com/cars/subaru/77-subaru-could-be-back-in-wrc-for-2014.html The decision to can Subaru’s WRC programme was taken in Japan on Saturday evening (13 December) - just days after the team’s entry for the 2009 WRC series was submitted to the FIA. The decision was taken by Subaru’s parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), partly as a result of the economic downturn but also because it was felt Subaru had achieved its sporting and marketing objectives. At a press conference in Tokyo this morning the president of FHI, Mr Ikuo Mori, underlined the reasons for the withdrawal, saying: “We have achieved our initial objective to improve the brand recognition. And also given the unprecedented economic situation deterioration, it was necessary to review our investments. These are the main reasons.” Mori said there was a desire within FHI to see Subaru back in the WRC but this was unlikely to happen in the short term. “If we can be allowed, we want to continue - especially for the fans,” he said. “The possibility of a Subaru car back in the top category of WRC in the future is not zero, however for this moment there can be no assumption of a comeback. “Reaching the decision has been an extremely difficult task, not least because of the countless Subaru fans that have supported our cars for so many years. We would like to express our sincere appreciation for our fans' strong and loyal support worldwide. They will remain an invaluable treasure for us,” he added. Mori denied that alterations to the WRC technical regulations in 2010 or a rumoured deterioration in the working relationship with Prodrive had any impact on the decision. Prodrive representatives flew to Japan this morning to begin the process of winding up the contract, which was due to expire at the end of 2009. A statement issued today by FHI read: “FHI has participated in the WRC together with Prodrive over the past 19 years to pursue its goal and philosophy in motor sports activities to enhance Subaru brand awareness by showing that Subaru vehicles offer safe, comfortable and pleasurable driving no matter the weather or road conditions, featuring Horizontally-Opposed engine and the Symmetrical All-Wheel drive system as its core technologies, and to transfer results of race-tested technical improvements into Subaru passenger vehicles. “FHI considers it has achieved its original target in WRC participation. However, while considering positioning the WRC activity in Subaru branding strategy towards the future, our business environment has been dramatically changed due to the quick deterioration of the global economy. In order to optimize the management resources and to strengthen further the Subaru brand, FHI decided to withdraw from WRC activities at the earliest timing.”
  7. Same from Bugeye up to about 2008 i.e the Hawkeye I don't think any other models fit after that an they don't fit before the buyeye :)
  8. it's your go Stalker. You got it before me mate :D
  9. Non of mine are as cool as that :D I will get some updated pic's sorted :)
  10. Yep Beautiful Mind top movie
  11. Please don't say a Speed camera operator. Or an Audi test driver. All else I can forgive ;)
  12. I'm having a butchers as we speak at them funny enough :D
  13. Barh! I knew that ;)
  14. Well I still had my fair share of a crap childhood maybe more then most. Nothing to do with my dad he was a top bloke and couldn't have asked for a better Father and role model :D That's enough of me boring people with that anyway ;) And just the way conversation go on here. :D Now get a movie clip posted ;)
  15. I've not looked at the used P1's for awhile. Not sure why I still look just to see if there is bargains I guess :D I'll have a look in a bit now see what I can find :D
  16. :( shame I think it's one of the reason's Subaru has failed to sell so many cars here :( And really did hope before long the rumors of a return was going to be soon. I grew up with boxing, used to stay up and watch it with my Dad from a very young age, he was a semi pro. So I guess I was always going to end up watching it :D again another sport that has gone down hill a bit but can't really say in the same way as Rally has, you still have the big fights and a few top fighters with new challengers just the fight's don't seem to come around as much once a year might get 2 big fights. I think it's more to do with the money and big pay days now. Unlike the years you said. And the 80's was still fantastic time for boxing ;) I'd have said it was around the end of the 90's when boxing started to decline :(
  17. I know exactly what you mean for me the FIA killed the sport from the inside. I still watch the sport but only highlights on youtube now. I don't mean this out of disrespect but Sebastien Loeb can lay claim to being the world's best with 7 titles I doubt he would have done that if the sport had been how it was with the above drivers and car's. Don't get me wrong I'm sure his name would have been there with them, but doubt he would have ever got 7 titles. But going back to the Rally if Subaru make a come back Mitsubishi Toyota might also make a come back and might help make the sport be good again. And yep I watch Rally America too but again only on you tube I've never seen it being shown on UK Tv :(
  18. I think we would get along like a house on fire..... Maybe not the best choice of words ;)
  19. So I guess finding the P1 at a good price is the real challenge then really. Be a good project this I think, the sort I really enjoy watching unfold
  20. True but only wen using a nice selected choice of words as you scream die you piece of..... After it has gone wrong :D
  21. My car mats sound just as bad so nope I will be happy to leave that to you and your new boyfriend I've banned my golden lab from the car too, I did have a husky before white one never again :D X
  22. Yep in one great movie. :) Stalker get a movie up man :D
