Well Scottish weather doesn't look too kind for us today but who cares, were sitting in a car! Just have to adjust speeds for the conditions however. I should have good in-car and drive by's on footage, so plenty to keep people amused next week for 5 minutes!

But he is a fud!

Don't worry, he has taking a slagging for going down the diesel route! His only saving grace is that he bought it with re-map in mind.

Car line up is: Fiesta St Ruby MB6 VTi-S Bmw 320d Should be a good blast!

Sorry mate, Loch Lomond area only!

Done Dukes Pass mate and got the t- shirt!

Just hope the weather stays dry...dry weather and country roads = less stress!

Me and three mates (including John & Ruby) are going for a final blast for this year along the scottish highlands and lowlands this Saturday. Plan is to meet up at Duck Bay Marina (loch lomond) and then i have planned a crazy route incorporating single track twisty roads and smooth A roads. All in all, its a 3.5 hour run from Duck Bay back to Duck Bay. We have all chipped in again for better walkie talkies (with earpieces n mic this time) and i have been busy making a better 'between seat' camera mount for optimum footage. After that, we head back to stay at my mates house and play fifa on the xbox. A proper boys day out! Shame i'm working that Saturday morning but hey! Can't wait!

Like the mods so far. How LOUD is the induction kit?

Nice one mate

Just looked back my ebay archives....i bought an MG ZS 01-04 Parcel Shelf for my 2000 mb6

I fitted a parcel shelf from an mgzs in my MB...could't tell you the year though!

When i rolled my arches, the bolt under the n/s front lip was solid...so i ripped it out and meant to cable tie it back....forgot to do so...and it came loose and rubbed on my tyre during a top speed run...and wore it down exposing my washer bottle! £45 inc vat for inner arch liner from Western Honda and all sorted! TWO cable ties hold it now! Your car looks mint btw

Another project car Dave? Mk1 escort?

Worth it after all that hassle though! Looks smart

Aye, must just be me then

Ok mate, please do read before posting, apology accepted! The members will think there has been a war when they read this thread this morning!

Ok, but what did you mean by 'but it feels like you've just come along for the food rather than the party'? I'm keen to understand this as i may have picked it up wrongly then mate.

You have come across, to me, as quite arrogant here Chandler. I'm not sure what your getting at or having a pop at? The only work carried out on my car was by garages was tuning and suspension setup. Everything else i have tackled myself or got mates to help like retro fitting seats and suspension fitting. But I always put alot of effort and serious amounts of cash into my car and do most things myself. I may not brag about doing the work myself, as i can't personally see why that would matter or have to be mentioned in build threads. Just to add, i have made alot of effort to create numerous videos to share and a civic5 video for you all to enjoy, attended meets and put up a 'how to' thread. In my opinion, I have supplied some of the food for this 'party'. Your words suggest clique to me. I didn't think that this forum was like that but your comments are suggesting this. However i have learned that a select few, including yourself, don't appreciate one entering their own car in COTM competitions. Safe to say i shall stay away from this particular party from now on. And yes, i have taken offence to your post. Regardless if they are just your views.

Theres always places to hide at work!

....and that has left a horrid thought for me at work now

Cool mate! Appreciate your honesty!!!

Thanks Tom! So entering your own car means you have little chance in winning it.

Nothing mate, the site have already lost two members from entering their own cars in COTM. I was mearly having my point heard, you don't have to say anything.

While we can appreciate Tom's thoughts and respect his openess for not voting for a self entered car, others feel that if some are not happy to vote self-entered cars then what's the point?
