Home safe and well, apart from hitting part of the front spoiler and fog light of someones megane on the M6.

A few small chips in an alloy is all the damage.

Great day out and I think we can say we've had the biggest turn out of 555 editions ever in the UK.

Photo's here

Strangely I think I have found another one in Nantwich.

Hi Ken !
Glad you got home safe, Wot this about a lens and a rim ?
Cant believe you go from one end of the country to the other and you dont get a single " Was it You " !!!!!!!!!!!!

Went to get stickers priced up today , Guy quoted me a grand to do them ! I just laughed at him and walked out of the shop !
Where do I get them done ?
Also tried doing what you said with the carb cleaner on the valve with 3 pipes which clicks when you connect yellow plug (ring a bell) Well its still the same ?????????
Remind you :- hard acceleration misfire peel myself of window screen backfire then goes, then same again! sometimes cat light comes on ( cylinder with lines above ? ) Also rev counter drops to zero and no power , sometimes I have to dip clutch and it comes back to life ???? I know it sounds a bit tech but Im hoping its something you"ve had or heard of yourself and I could fix it myself, I can feel a run to Extreme Scoobies !!!!!!

Andy :- Sold Type R already ! It will be in country next week going straight to its new owner ( made a grand so thats why Im looking at getting stickers ) Black Type Rs are supposed to be as rare as 555"s with Stickers ?

Catherine was driving up the M6, when the Volkswagon Camper in front run over what looked like the front right hand corner of a megane and it's fog light appeared from under it.

Catherine managed to swing around it, but it clipped the lefthand wheel and had put a few chips on it.

Great pictures Ken!!

Pete, speak to Tiny(on this forum) I think his mate RB5 286 does them, all installed as well for half that!!!! Well done mate on selling the car, you sound like competition for RiverDale This import lark sounds good. BTW have you tried a chip reset.

Adam, what plate??? glad you got the millers, its cheap and works.

Edited to say I now remember the plate, must be getting old, that was a good buy, should have got it myself and sold it to you . That will look nice mate, add value to the car as well - good choice.

Andy ;- Wife has just reminded me about the phone bill I have to pay ( calls to Japan )as well as the trip too the clothes shop I cant remember promicing her !!!!!!!
What is a chip reset ? Is it something I can do or do I have to take it somewhere for them to do it ?

Adam you did mention about the plate on sat ! Did you get your name or something else ?
Dont get a plain old plate , you can really design the backgrownd and lettering under and over the actule reg no , I just cant remember the web address , you design it and they post you off what you design.

Hi guys - yes got the plate N555JAP - its was Andy's idea - I was gonna get N555AAD but this is much better

Didn't bother with the Millers in the end - he wanted 60 quid for 20 so maybe I will get in the future

Who's going to the Ace Cafe meet - am i right in thinking its on the 4th???

I'm trying to get the other bloke with the modded 555 to come as his car looks amazing

Chris said he will come with his UK turbo aswell

Cheers, Adam

Adam :- Great no plate
I remember you talking about it now
The web page you want is www.fancyplates.com
You`ll be surprised what you can do with it and it still be legal

Andy555

Pete - I used fancyplates as well, they are quite cheap and you can order diff sizes, I have standard on back, and slightly smaller on front. Keep the font standard, Would like to go even smaller but I am "scared"!!!! Tell Wifie to settle, you are doing a good job.

Adam - I will probably go to the Ace, try and go early and then you can park inside. Also, they are now clamping down there in certain places, and I know someone, not in a scoob who had to pay around 150 for the clamp to be removed. That millers is cheaper than that stuff you are using, init??

Adam555

Hey guys,

Had a look at fancy plates - looks good - have designed a nice plate - Pete thanks for your help!!

Also anyone going to Ace Cafe meet this Tuesday - Andy can I meet you and follow pls - if so what time?

Whats this about BP 100RON fuel coming out on Tuesday - do you think this is true?

Andy555

Yes Adam no problem, prabably meet you at my place around 7PM??? Try and get a smaller plate for the front, lets more air into the engine bay.

Adam555
