  2. How did you buy them, off eBay? If so contact them. If you used PayPal contact them first Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. well, my car has returned. wife is feeling a bit crap because as usual everything is starting to seize up several hours after the event. the damage to the car doesn't loo too bad as the woman behind has (unfortunately for her) driven straight into the end of the chassis behind the bumpers the full length of the chassis has taken the impact and transferred it through the car. The cross member behind the bumper is somewhat wonky. and the bonnet doesn't fit as snug as it did so that might need replacing. from the video it looks like my wife had just come to a gentle stop and was just readying to pull away again when the woman behind her hit her and pushed her into the car in front, looks like the fact that neither my wife or the car in front had their foot on the brake has reduced the damage to the car as the car moving has absorbed much of the impact, although this has made the ride for my wife significantly worse. might not be allowed to put the video up because my wife called her a stupid ****** which is quite clearly audible. i'll work on that.
  4. Probably just as well in my case. Hopefully she's not bent anything too much behind the bumper, not worried about the front as the airbags didn't even go off so the must have been pretty light, but the back is another story Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Thanks all, looks like the car will get sorted pretty soon, had the vultures on for claims but that's all going through insurers. Wife is feeling a bit site and worried about how neck is going to be tomorrow. Fortunately the XV, like the forester has some heft to it so the ford Ka that hit her took most of the brunt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I got a camera fitted so can easily prove the order and severity of the impacts. Wouldn't be without a camera now. Cat because I have an iPhone and it types what it wants not what I tell it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I've already had my insurers legal team on about it and it's going to go through as a personal injury, they're also letting me take the car to a subaru repair centre rather than "their own approved" usually Fred's bodyshop in shed in smethwick. Just got to sort all the forms and crap out. Other driver has accepted full liability which makes life easier. Should be on video so will put up, seen photo of back of my cat and it looks fine, other car apparently looked like emu's nose when he screwed his beak up. No sympathy there though.

  8. Well she's got bad sciatic pain down her leg which suggests she's hurt her back in some way. At least the car behind was insured as it turns out. I don't think she'll be driving her KA home after picking on 1.4tonne of Subaru though. Wife is generally ok though, car is driveable. Just a real annoyance now more than anything. Had someone phone up asking if i want to make a personal injury claim already, the vultures are circling. My wife is thinking she might. The woman who hit her was in tears on the kerb not through shock but because my wife shouted at her, my wife can be quite good at that. Off to pick up the other car which is fixed but no one can say why there was a carbon build up so I'm not hoping out much hope that it's actually fixed just feeling a " "bit better". Hope everyone else has a better day with their subarus. [emoji27] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Well, crap start to the day. Wife took my car to work because I'm picking her car up and some stupid cow has run into the back of her so hard it pushed her into the car in front. Sounds like the XV held up ok as there doesn't seem to be too much damage but I'm already wondering about crumple zones? Girl's reason why she hit her is s classic, when my wife asked what the hell were you doing, she replied "I didn't put the brakes on in time" obviously not top of the intellect tree in Dudley this one. Got all the crap to deal with sorting that out now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Last post about airbags, this ones about seatbelts, we're very safety conscious here. This guy was just lucky http://youtu.be/Uud7rcwhI5U
  11. Wouldn't mind that tune[emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. took mine to the Midland Game fair with wife and dog, went to subaru stand and wife was looking at a black Forester XT, chap from subaru collared us and we happened to mention that we were contemplating changing her XV for a Foz. guy offered us a go in a fox around their 4x4 track, not one to pass up a drive off road I said yes, went got taken around by Isuzu Team's competition Safari co-driver. very nice car very capable off road, though the XV was doing the same track so I guess there was more in the tank for the foz as that's the better off road car in general. wife loved the XT but at £32k and only mid 30s mpg and the hefty road tax its a bit hard to justify even with the extra 100 horses under the hood. Also the Subaru fella reckons the STi XV isn't real, its a mock up, he knows nothing about an STi version (but that could just be he doesn't know).

    Why would anyone buy a scoob and then pretend it's a focus, and that wasn't me or the wife who drive the XV away from the pumps while it was attached, might have been dug? [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  18. Will get some scoob designs done before full game lands, must do a proper SOC race design Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Well today the dealership will have had my wife's XV for 3 weeks, they say it was carbon, apparently there's even carbon build up in the throttle body, but as yet no one can explain why which is what I want, I know there's carbon buildup, I want you to fix it, not just clean up the mess. Might end up in a fight soon. Could well be the last time I use this dealership if it plays up again because they didn't fix the issue, just the symptom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. No, the only in game stuff you get from forza fuel are the liveries for forza 5 and FH2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Apparently if you play the demo before 31st October you get a 2011 Subaru WRX STi in game Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Oh the pain of getting those few extra seconds, I know it well from me and a mate doing the nordschliefe in the transit I managed to get up to 80th in the world at one point by knocking 13 seconds off what I thought was my best time, just goes to show Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Link be good then [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Well I'm at home tomorrow if anyone is online for a few forza 5 laps or anything Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. My 2013 2.0D XV averages between 56-58mpg, this is the liftime mpg as tracked on Fuelly.com, I think a few others on here use it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
