problem with that though is there is just no atmosphere in the places that you go.


Have you been to tyldesley tandoori.? They made me a chicken phall last saturday(not on the menu). Best curry I have ever had, very hot, but very tasty

Nosey git . How much did it cost by the way and did subaru pay anything towards it?

White classic spotted at Bolton general this morning. Hope your missus is okay. Blue classic spotted this afternoon (R plate) which I thought was dawdling on the East Lancs between Leigh and Tyldesley. Didn't realise that I was over 80.

Could you not bounce a cheque on them. Don't pay for anything and retire early. The Royal family do that (apparently).
Or pretend your an illegal immigrant. Your car would be paid for and any mortgage would be paid off.

I could try all of em like the sound of the black boot polish.The turn around was pretty good they repaired my gearboxm, when they took it apart they only found 2nd gear to be nackered so av had that replaced and av had a new cluch plate put on they thought the cluch being warn was something to do with it. Must say though after driving it yesterday it feels alot better going from gear to gear.

Hello to the black scoob that went past me on Cricketers Way just before 7 last night, was miles away cos bored of sitting in traffic and p*ssed off at being late for work so only noticed it as it went past.

Hello to bored bloke who was in the dark blue blue scoob sitting on the A6 last night, at least I got a smile out of him!

Hello lady silver Scoob driver who I see in Eaves Green or Tescos and always flashes or waves.

Right, I'm going to bed, all this spotting has worn me out. Or is that night shifts..

Typical of us around here. We only ever see each other when one is either walking or in someone else's non-scoob car. The only exception is AndiThompson but he just stalks us all.

Seen you a few times passing the pub. You could always drive down the street and wash the car if you wanted . You could even wash the Primera as well as that gets neglected. Always seeing jaytc passing by along with the lad in the light blue sport. (Must spend a fortune in fuel as he's always knocking around).
