Gambit

Looking very nice take it you took my advise and didn't let your Mrs drive it then, I can see there is no dings on it :) . Wish we had been getting some Sun, done nothing but rain here. And to top it off stuck behind a lorry with hay bales down the A16 for about half mile before I could get past :( front end look's like Worzel Gummidge's sleeve :( Going to have to clean it soon I hate seeing them with dirt on :)

I believe that's Japfest2. Think by whats being said is Japfest castle combe. But not sure if it will come around to quick. But will keep everyone updated soon as we have a clear picture ourselves :)

Found This, might be of some use ;) What to do if your car suffers damage from a pothole Two thirds of UK motorists encounter between one and five potholes every day, we've got a step-by-step guide on what to do if your car is damaged by a pothole. 1. Take photographs of the pothole The most important thing to do is get evidence. As well as taking photos of the pothole itself, make sure you take photos of the surrounding area – for example, capture if it’s on a blind bend or over the brow of a hill as this will be helpful for your claim. 2. Measure the pothole and its location You MUST be able to identify the exact pothole you hit, take down the road name and where it is on the road. Most importantly where was the pothole positioned on the road? For example, was it in the middle of the road or in the regular wheel tracks? If you can’t prove which pothole it was that you hit, this can weaken your claim. Make sure you measure the pothole; if you don’t have a tape measure to had use a ruler, book or even your shoe as a guide to show the size of the pothole. 3. Get details Make a simple sketch of the area showing where the pothole is, including the surrounding features. These features might include the speed limit, a nearby school, kerb edging etc. Also, note if it is a busy road and how wide it is. If you have a witness to the incident make sure to take down their details too! 4. Before you make your claim Before making your claim, ask for the following documents from the Council: -Dates of all safety inspections undertaken on the carriageway in the two years preceding the date of your incident. -Details of all carriageway defects identified during safety inspections in the two years preceding your incident. -Details of how carriageway safety inspections are undertaken, including whether walked or driven, the speed of the inspection vehicle and the number of persons in the vehicle. -The intended frequency of carriageway safety inspections. -Details of all complaints and/or enquiries relating to the carriageway, received in the two years preceding your incident. -The hierarchy classification of repairing the roads. -The road/section number. -The defect intervention criteria adopted in relation to the identification of all categories of carriageway potholes (in other words, how they define a pothole as requiring attention. -The time period(s) adopted between identification and repair (temporary and permanent) of all categories of carriageway defects. -Whether or not the authority has formally adopted all or part of the standards contained within the national code of practice for highways maintenance management. -Ask them to reply within 20 working days in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act and if they don’t then send a copy of your first request and ask them to reply within 10 working days of the second letter. -If they don’t reply to either, don’t panic, but go onto the next step. It isn’t the end of the world and the lack of reply just makes the council look bad. 5. Report the pothole Report the pothole to the council as soon as possible. This will give a record that someone has reported it. Also if it does go to Court then they will want to know why you didn’t report it as soon as you could, in order to help others as well as yourself. 6. Make your claim When writing a letter or email to your council to report the pothole make sure you include the following information - a full description of the accident, where it was and at what time, your photographs and the sketch plan of the area. Make sure to include a copy of the repair bill/receipt for the damage caused. 7. Your claim may get rejected It is likely that the council will defend the claim under section 58 of the Highways Act by stating that they have a reasonable system of repair. Don’t panic! As this is their first automatic step to try and refuse to pay you and there is more that you can do to get your claim resolved. 8. Do some background reading Before you go back to the council to discuss the claim further take a look at their guidance website to see the procedures for repairing roads and dealing with claims for damage. Also check what the council is liable for, and whether their documents (that you have been supplied with) says they have carried this out. 9. Be willing to negotiate If the council makes you an offer, seriously consider it, as the next step will be Court proceedings. If they haven’t made an offer and you have got this far, they either think that they have a good case, or just have a block policy of refusing claims until they get to Court. It is extremely likely that your claim is below the Small Claims Limit (presently £5000). That means that if you use a solicitor to progress your case, you won’t be able to get the costs back and you will pay them win lose or draw. If you believe you still have a case, then you can issue the proceedings online at https://www.moneycla...eb/mcol/welcome. This is the County Court system but through the internet. 10. Stay patient and keep copies! Remember to always act reasonably and fairly. When speaking to the council remain calm and professional. Lastly make sure you keep copies of all the letters you send and receive – if you go to Court you will have to provide a copy of this correspondence for the Court to consider.

Here go mate This is from lights off to lights on toying with getting an oil temp now lol

Get a Fred Flintstone car instead :D

I would change the alloy's anyway. But that's me, I would also tint the windows I have done that to all my car's but 2 :), and change the WRX rear spoiler to STI spoiler did that to my old car. I was also going to get some Fog covers. Just giving you some idea's lol. And that's without starting on remapping, Turbo, etc,etc :D

Hi mate we're just sorting the Forum's out with area's for local meets. And in talk's with looking into Trax/Japfest With the Reg I would look at the online selling Reg sites see what they offer you and maybe add £100 to £200 on it. I have heard people putting £300 more on the value what they was quoted and selling it on Ebay.

Does look nice I just like the blue more :) should be a youtube video some where I'm sure if get chance later will have a look for you.

Yeah it's the Turbo Timer turned it off and didn't beep. And I love the gauges I have, you can wire them up so when you put your lights on they turn red but I just wanted the blue on all times. Come in green and white also Down side is you can get cheaper on the market that do the same job but don't look as fancy. But for me I wanted these so I didn't mind letting my missis pay for them :D

Welcome to the Club mate And your never to old to appreciate a car. And I know plenty of werther's original people with modified cars :) Take my father in law he's 54 and has this. But has now bought the Blobeye ( Subaru Impreza) this one log book signed last night :( Having two is just to much money and greedy ;)

I had to check this morning what the Beeep was lol I must have got use to it. I think it's either the HKS Turbo timer or the HKS manual boost control. will be able to turn it off, but until you just said I don't even notice it lol

I forgot to show the daytime running lights will show a picture when I get chance. ;) What the Bugeye looks like now What the Blobeye looks like now And this is what the Missis got me for my Birthday :)

Well that's a bit like Del boys Trotters Traders... No guarantees I will try my best ;) And you can always get the Subaru authentic feel with just a few easy mod's :D

I put this here as it has Jeff Gordon in it :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q02BXGDSDkE&feature=share

My last post I was drunk. I give myself a pat on the back ;) There the car's I like if your not keeping them little money earners, only ever had 2 that I made money on. Escort made £200 and Beemer I only made £50 on it time I had spent money doing repairs. But was selling to get another car I wanted so was happy with that. And my Iphone is now in the draw with a broken screen backing hanging off and I'm not sure if it even powers up it's been there that long lol.

For me anything that has gone bang, and I'm not going to repair I ebay them. Not always best choice but for ease I have always found it best way. You will get loads of offer's from people with buy it now. And if you can sell it outside of ebay i.e by them coming to pick it up and paying cash, you remove the listing and you just pay for the listing of the item.

You say that now until you start looking ;) But looking at the Subaru maybe a Volvo estate with reinforced steel doors :D Well what ever you get have to let us know. :)

Dam fine job mate. And can see massive rise with them new spring's, be off roading before long. And I'm glad you said about the breakers. I thought it was just me I just ring the buggers now normally to get a women who has no clue. telling me I need to ring back as the guy I need to speak to is busy :) Callipers look nice too. And I think we have seen enough Subaru's crashed this week :D But I know how easy it is to forget to pump the pedal if your doing a few thing's at once.

Hahahaha Is that a panda? I don't even know what it is lol. But you have redeemed yourself with the Forester Wow sorry if you was on top gear right now I would be WTF! :) your car choice don't add up to me lol ;) But if you made money on that car I take it all back :) As for the Ios v's Android I have nothing wrong with the iphone hardware it's amazing. Just ashame they right it off to make suckers buy the next thing they chuck out. And with Samsung phone I could stream live football, as with the Iphone was a no go :(

Happy to hear it. Well I always look on the bright side of thing's, when you look out the window in a few week's or less you could be looking at one that has a power bulge from the bonnet ;)

How's the melon feeling today mate, any better ?

No problem at all mate Hope it help's

I've only been in 3 car crashes touch wood. And non of them I was the driver. I did bounce my nogging of the window luckily nothing to damage in my head ;) was sore for awhile :) Old Austin Metro in brown me and my mate going back awhile now, chipped in and bought it as an MOT failure. £85 we was both 14 We was rallying it around a gravel track late at night my mate miss judged the corner. I remember thinking we was going to take off and fly in to the Humber lol it was near the river bank. I can still see the tape cassettes flying around the car I know it took us about 1hour 30+mins to walk home. And scrap guy took it the next day for £70 :D Arrr reminiscing ;) Did have a big motorbike crash with the same guy funny enough :) but that's another story ;)

Hahaha I dub thee car.... Penelope Pit Stop ;) I would paint them again see if they go red if that fail's heat resistant engine paint that you put on with a brush what I use. Not as nice as a rattle can but does the trick :) Strange they couldn't make it. Unless they had some retards in that day can't see silver being to hard to make :( oh well least you got it sorted.

Only fuses that I can think of inside the car. I would check all the wire's and wiring harness to your light's front and back now then. Even if they break at the back it will effect the front and the dials. Not sure why :) But that would be my next to do list
