Black rev 3 tubby in shevington

[Hurstie1981]

Yeah BP is only 97 ron, whereas Optimax is 98....ive tried tesco at Chorley but they dont have the 99 either!

I really doubt ill be able to get to that meet, ill see what im up to, but its gonna be a rush thats all!

Have you got your car sorted yet?

[stuyw]

i think that 99RON at tescos is just available down south at the moment, so ive been told, but gunna be great once its up here. I called in at the goose green one the other day n optimax was 93.9

i went back to garage and as i was driving up, heard a whirring noise, think its the clutch release bearing, so guy said that gearbox will have to come out to do it and while trhats out, they can do the other bits it needs doing! - am having a mare, but i suppose its just one of them things

Hows things with u mate?

[Hurstie1981]

Mines great thanks, sorry to rub it in!
SOrry ot hear its not going well, im sure once you get all the niggles sorted it will be great!
Is it not under warranty?

[stuyw]

yeah they are gunna do it all under warranty, but its the ballache of doing a 150mile round trip to go there n back. hopefully everything will be fine though!. its the only time it gets a drive out!!

[Hurstie1981]

It looks like it needs a clean
Black cars are really awkward at this time of year, ive just cleaned mine today....really liking red!

[stuyw]

yeah, didnt realise how dirty my motor was until i parked next to my mate who has a N/A black one

Red looks great when u keep on top of it, especially on a sunny day when its just been washed/waxed

[Hurstie1981]

Mines looking good, its well waxed, and tends to look clean for a good while, which is good with the weather the way it is!
I did like my old black NA, was a t-bar with an autopista spoiler on it, loud exhaust and de-cat etc, everyone in shevvy knew it!

[stuyw]

do still have any pics of it mate as i cant seem to remember a black tubby in shevvy

[Hurstie1981]

Yeah i do, it wasnt a tubby, but i only live round the corner and had it for 3 1/2 years!!

[stuyw]

nice one mate, wouldnt mind having a look at them if u wanna send me some pics

was u going up past shevy high school yesterday about 3/4pm? as i saw a red MR2 n thought it might of been u??

[Hurstie1981]

Yeah, that was me, i was heading up to the cash machine!
Shame the cars not as shiny in this weather though

Here are the pics

[Hurstie1981]

Just been on a jog today and seen your wheels. I think they really suit your car, i fancy a set myself but i think id prefer 17's.

[stuyw]

yeah thought it may of been you, your car looked pretty mint as it went past, i was coming down towards speed camera n seen u coming up, but i was in my astra.

Dont remember your old MR2 mate, but looks well nice , how long did u have it for??

Am not sure about the wheels on mine, am after getting either Rota Slipstreams or the Konig E-Racer, in black with chrome lip on 16"s, or to paint the ones ive got now in black with a chrome lip as am after going for that look

[Hurstie1981]

I had my old NA for 3 1/2 years.
It was very well looked after hence how shiny!!
I refurbed the wheels on mine also, they were BK racing split rims in 16", so i polished up the lip and sprayed the rest silver, worked quite well!!

[stuyw]

yeah, looks pretty cool that, liking them wheels too

i got home yesterday and mum said that the boot on the MR2 was open, so i dashed out and checked the locks, all ok, all i can think of it that i caught the boot release button on getting out and the alarm has set itself, and a gust of wind opening it fully and it started raining and boot is all wet now. I tested the alarm and seems as though no-one has tried to break in - phew

[Hurstie1981]

Thats a lucky one eh, i had my old one broken into down at gathurst station, bastards!

I think i saw you the other night at the BP garage filling up, i was using the cash machine!

[stuyw]

did they do much damage to your old mr2???

if it was wed night about 6.30, then that will of been me, you should of come over. was u in yours??. I was on my way to watch wigan athletic play newcastle in the carling cup, which we won by a mile

[Hurstie1981]

Yeah i was in mine, although i was in a mad rush, i needed to get into wigan for 7:30 and traffic was a nightmare! I wasnt going watching football, but got stuck in all the traffic!

[stuyw]

i didnt see ur motor though mate, but i was in a rush too!. cant believe how much traffic there was! was a good game though!

Ive finally dried out the carpet that got soaked in the rain when the boot sprung open!!

what are you doing this monday as the jap meet is on

[Hurstie1981]

Good to hear mate, think im gonna give mine a wash today, if it thaws out a little!
I dont think im up to anything on monday, im not working for once!
