Yan,
i'll be down your way tomorrow but not sure what time?? :rolleyes4

[vrfan]

Awww. I'm working early Monday so it's a no-go for me. Realistically, it is a bit far for an overnight trip anyway so maybe next time if it ties in with a wk/end off or summat.

Would have been a chance to scope out the goodies before I buy.:inquisiti

it would be a long way for a coffee and bun!!!

[vrfan]

Coffee?!?! Nobody mentioned I'd miss out on the coffee!!!:rolleyes4


Anyway it wouldn't seem far in a VR4, (almost legal) time travel, and think of those lovely roads along the way.

Just noticed your location mate, and was wondering do you get the car serviced on the mainland or is there someone over on the island that does it, or, do you do it yourself?

Robert.

BUMP!

no worries - a quick meet is better than no meet! :thumbsup:

[Axeboy]

Yup.. im still coming

[ritch_w]

good meet today, nice to see a few familiar faces and gdelargy - hopefully you have seen enought of galants to really want one now :thumbsup:

Ians BMW looks superb, especially with its "additional" lighting /yes and it was fun to get a paasenger run in Scotts Integra - changing up at 9500 revs is something to hear!!!

forgot to take some pics - had camera in the car - doh!

[Axeboy]

Yep, agreed, a good afternoon.

Nice meeting the usual suspects plus the new faces.

Another one soon... must be a show coming up?

[Big Ian]

:thumbsup: it's a good wee meet point for us western folk

:smug: t'waz was good to catch up with you guy's /yes
thank's again Scott for taking care of the "bar bill"

[Big Ian]

must be a show coming up?

Thursday 26th, Dumbarton Retail Park 7:30pm onward's (Halford's car park)

in aid of a local lad who was sadley killed in a car crash, all donation's givin are to go to his girlfreind and their un-born child.

:leer: from what i heard earlier "it's gonna be massive"

[strangebat]

twas good to see everyone, hope I did a good enough job on Gdlargy to convince him that a galant is the way ahead :thumbsup:

Thursday 26th, Dumbarton Retail Park 7:30pm onward's (Halford's car park)

sorry i wont make this :( i'll be dahn sarf

[gdelargy]

'Twas indeed a nice day out. I'm still running things through in my head, but if I go for a 4wd turbo, I'm now leaning more towards the VR4 over an RSK than I was before. Unless I can get an old Legacy Turbo (McRae-era) like this one (http://legacy.manxforums.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2477), of course, but I think chances of that are rare...


Still placing usernames to faces:

Iain = Krautmobile :joker:
strangebat = Yan = my chauffeur. /Steeringw
Ritch_W = early bird in the burgundy V6 :happy:
Louis = lowered Legnum with the D2s :thumbsup:
Axeboy = Scott = treated us all to tea 'n' baps. Clearly, running an ITR after a VR4 has made him feel a bit flush. :chugchug:

That's all correct?


Scott's idea of getting the 7G (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12683&page=3&pp=20) isn't bad. Face up to a VR4's running costs while keeping the initial purchase price low. I'd also be more amenable to stripping out an older car like that than a big 8G I've just paid £5000+ for.

Trouble is, I...errr...well, basically I think Tony's car's a bit pig ugly with the pseudo off-road kit and two-tone paintjob. I was wondering how simple it'd be to turn it into a regular-looking Galant by scavenging bodywork, bumpers etc from a donor car like this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4604983154&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT) (although obviously a 5dr would be better)? Am I being too ambitious, or would that be straightforward?


Anyway, thanks for being a friendly and obliging bunch.

G (and Mhairi)

LOL - but it is a damn fine bit of kit you have there!!!

[vrfan]

Robert.
Well.... I didn't own one when I wrote that!

Sourcing servicing was well down the to-do list but now it's a reality. I suppose I'll tackle the minor ones myself. Otherwise it's Inverness, 120m away. The local guys are not getting anywhere near my new baby.


Sorry the timing was off or I could have been at the meet, got my VR4 the weekend after - off DJ so I was just round the corner really.
