I've got a DV on my bug... dead easy to fit and it sounds pretty good too. I went for the subtle Psssst and not one of those really loud ones

Give me a shout if you want a hand with it should you want to buy one, which you know you do

lol, sheepdog blow off valves sound the best imo. They make a kind of chattering noise, and I'm pretty sure they are a favourite with the GTi-R owners.

cheers for that Chris, I go there all the time (for fuel of the beer variety and also for tescos finest 99ron) will keep my eyes open. Happening a bit at the moment, there was a case nr St Helens on another thread that was at gunpoint.

Am supposed to be looking at new houses in atherton tomorrow just off bag lane. Luckily it has a garage though.

Thanks for the info Chris. Just round the corner.

I always lock my doors as soon as I get in... hope everybody else does?

Funny you should say that, as a very suspicious scoob has been parked next to my neighbours house where I sometimes park mine in a day. It's a blue GX or sport, on a 53 plate (The shape after the bugeye, but before the new one). It's in blue with a prodrive rear spoiler on... and has a picture of scooby doo on the back, and has a couple of prodrive graphics on it. The plate is LT53 EFV. Very suspicious, as it wasn't there last night... and it was parked there this morning when I got up for work at 7am... and is still there now and hasn't moved.

Haven't tried to see if any doors are locked on it (ie: been broken into)... but the drivers side is against the side of the wall. Just wondering if it's also been stolen and parked there to see if it has a tracker.

Gonna post up a topic on here to see if anybody has had there's took.

Take care everyone... and keep your doors locked!

Elliot

Hi! Welcome to the best thread on scoobynet, lol.

Will keep a look out for you. What colour is your car?

Have seen the pink classic once or twice, but I don't know who's it is.

Hmm... am definitely thinking of reporting it. I parked mine behind it today (Probably a stupid thing to do if it is dodgy, but hey!)... and nobody's touched mine as far as I know.

Did however have another small look over the GX, and looks like it's got chrome valve caps. Anybody guess how long they will be there for, seeming as though I saw four chavs coming from down the side yesterday.

I wonder who's scoob was taken then from Tesco?

Had a look at that GX before, looks like a decent one. Very odd if it's just been left there and not moved. I'd try knocking on a few doors, maybe someones bought it and not sorted insurance etc out yet, then report it for sure.

Bloody hell! I did notice that it had gone on Sunday morning. Do you know where the car was from... as it isn't one local around here is it?

Did I spot you yesterday Chris, at the bottom of Hamilton street? I think you was turning left towards Leigh, and I was tuning into Hamilton street. I thought that the headlights looked like the shape of bug eye one's... but didn't notice till I'd looked in the mirror.

Hi,

Yeah, I heared about that on another thread. There was also one hijacked at the Tesco in Atherton - Manchester.

Think I know which one you mean. See it quite regular driving past the garage where I work in St Helens. Do know the car, so will keep a look out up and around there.

It doesn't have the turbo bonnet though does it?

Sorry to hear it. That'll explain why I always see him driving past middlehurst then.

Will keep my eyes peeled.

Andi, think I spotted you at the atherleigh way roundabout last friday at around 4:30pm? Does yours have PIAA style headlight bulbs?

apparently the reason is because the sports model go slower than the turbo so it allows people to be followed!!





In all seriousness though, it is awful all of this happening, if it happened to me (no one would take my wreck anyway) I wouldnt want my car back (would put back to standard, keep the goodies and get another).

I actually think someone has tried breaking in on mine as the drivers door no longer sits flush against the rest of the bodywork when closed. I noticed it on monday night and someone at work pointed it out to me yesterday. Will maybe try to bend it back on friday when I finish work. Will be glad to move house (touch wood) as it has a garage
