I think a seagull shat on my car. Took me a good ten mins to clean off, was all over the roof, rear window, boot and spoiler. Good job I've got some Poorboys Bird Sh#t remover. - Which is awesome btw

I was thinking the same thing, I've got a little gas cooker, can bring a griddle pan, burgers, sausages, buns etc etc. But i think it says on the ticket, no BBQ's allowed. Worth a risk?

What about Moto Services. Junction 23A M1 Derby, Castle Donington DE74 2TN 2.9 miles from the track. A bit close, probably other clubs there though.

hahaha Brilliant!

I had the same issue a few weeks back, thought something was leaking until I was told about the air con waste pipe. How do you find the 2015 Impreza mate?

Mines 2ltr N/A mate, my bad should have said.

Since the last 240miles i've got an average mpg of 37.5 :D Happy with that,

Just paid for 12months car tax... £285 :( Worth every penny! :D

Had a bit of rain today, makes me smile when i see all the water beading on the paintwork :)

yeah shes fuming, as you would be. Its just fortunate that her uncle can do it properly for us. The mechanic has agreed to pay the costs for the repair and added that he's "honestly got no idea how it got damaged, it must have been when it was sat on my drive" aye yea alright mate, considering its been reversed into a wall.

Thanks ash, Yeah I'm very picky too, that's why I like going SSS. As for the meet on the 11th, I'll have to see mate, as I've got an essay due that day and I'm like 100 miles away. So it would be a bit of drive. We spoke to her uncle who runs a body repair garage, he had a look and said its been reversed into a wall or something rough. Had another car hit it, there would have been paint transfer from the other car. So he's gonna repair it properly. Just gotta get the mechanic to pay for it now.

David, I called the dealer in Durham and they said about and hour or so. I think they have a look, clean up any corrosion and treat it with protection stuff of some sort.

thanks bud, I've got a free tub of paint that was mixed by the guy that repaired my legacy, he also painted and fitted my spoiler and grille. As you are in Co Durham, if you ever need body repairs doing give me a bell and I'll pass you on his details.

So !Removed!, the missus needed a new rear spring on her 1.6 astra. So instead of taking it to the usual place up the road and paying about 70 for it. She had her dads friends partner do it for a bit cheaper. So against my advice she dropped the car off at his house the night before, Luckily, I made sure the missus wrote down the millage. He then took it to his garage changed the spring, drove it back today and dropped it off, was only 45 quid sounds pretty cheap. Not a bad deal we thought. The missus is a little particular over her pride and joy (as we all are here) so she had a good look around it. Turns out he's done 120miles in it! According to google, its 12.9 from the centre of where we live to the centre of Sunderland (where the garage is) so call it 30miles there and back, maybe add a few miles in for grace. So I can only assume that he's been for a right jolly in it. and there is also a long scrape of chips horizontal along the rear bumper protector. As you can imagine we are both livid. We know for a fact it wasn't there before and with the amount of miles hes added on shows his complete lack of regard and respect for a customers car. She called him up and argued that the damage wasn't there before and he's agreed to take the car on Thursday night and get it sorted and he has agreed to pay. I notice how he didn't even argue against the damage. Not a happy bunny to say the least. But it goes to show, you get what you pay for, had she paid the extra few quid and went to the usual place this wouldn't have happened.

Don't suppose you've got the link to them mate? I've love a set for my legacy if they did any. ta ;)

I bought a new alloy wheel brush from asda for two quid... as i broke my last one cleaning out old mud from under the rear bumper and wheel arches...

+1 Shell / Vpower / tesco fuels. As for tyres what about black circles?

:( The missus isnt coming anymore, she's not happy with paying the extra for it and my mate jack'd me out to go to vfest... I'll be all on my tod :'(

So the ticket we have, is only for our car and the driver? I'm pretty certain it did say on their japfest 2 website it was 15.50 for the car and 4 people.

I got a reply from them. "Thank you for your correspondence to the Shell Drivers’ Club. I can confirm that 800 Shell Drivers’ Club points have been re-credited to your account for the undelivered June 2014 statement with £4.00 worth of Money off Fuel vouchers since we are unable to re-order the vouchers manually less than £10.00. Please allow 5 days for these points to be updated on the web site. I am pleased to confirm that your points balance, as of 29/07/2014 is 2146 Drivers’ Club points." So erm... anyone think Shell will convert those 2000 points into a 20 quid off voucher? or will they not bother to send the next lot of vouchers either...

So it looks like those with passengers will need extra tickets? !Removed!. Anyone got the number for trading standards? lol

yeah that would be best for me too. (and I presume the rest of the northerners). I got my ticket today yay! What does the big number 5 on the ticket mean btw?

awesome pics mate :) loving the front splitter :)

Yeah i get the offers on a weekly basis, they clearly want our money. Shame there isnt really an alternative to Vpower. :(
