Yep, there are a few cars on here that would get the same reaction, Scotts, Clives P1, and even your old blob. I guess its because we have all watched them evolve over the years and they have all been done properly.

Nice thing is you can now enjoy two cracking cars.

Poor excuse for a Stereo in a Scoob. Certainly an area they have cut back on.
Even my 2007 STi sounded ****e.
The crappy cheap French pool cars we use at work (Peugeots) are a million times better, but then they have to provide some sort of entertainment that the driving experience can't provide.

I'm just in the process of having my diff repaired, it was making a grinding noise every so often, turns out it needs the input bearings replaced.

That's a shame to see mate, but its good its just the front corner. When i heard you'd been sideswiped, i feared the worst door/rear quarter damage but looks like you avoided that.

Are the bumper/splitter salvageable with a bit of bodyshop tlc? Hope you get it sorted without too much hassle

Ouch not good tim,i take it and hopefully its just the wing/side light/mirror that needs replacing as bumper/splitter dont look too bad and repairable and take it no damage to wheel/and anything suspension wise????.
Hope you get it sorted out quickly and can get back to enjoy it and get it round spa in the future.

If anyone wants any bits that Morster is unable to help with give us a text as two northern breakers are at most of the sprints competing and happy to bring stuff south

I didn't mean it as any criticism - just as its low it's inevitably going to get damaged at some point. I used to have a subscription with HT Autos with the amount of splitters I got through!

Although Ian does have a point

Was about to say there is a P1 being broken on Scabnet, but i see you have it all sorted. Are you getting your bumper repaired or are you going to get another one?

WOW! Only just seen seen this, feel for you pal.
Hate it when things like that happen.

Did this happen whilst you were in the car or came back to find it like that?
