well let me start off by introducing my self,
my name is steve... i am american, but i am moving to lakenheath in oct... and bringing my car with me...it should be here about november.
i own a 2006 wrx usdm left hand drive of course(i will be interesting trying to drive on your roads)...just looking to meet people in the lakenheath area or otherwise to hang out go for group drives...install days ect....and since you guys are pretty big of a site(i heard of you in america) i just wanted to join up and participate, as well as introduce myself to hopefully some pretty cool guys who dont mind hanging around with a YANK and love subarus as much as i do!

 

any help with local speed shops, performance shops, and or ecutec tuners (need a reflash soon) in the area...or even the country would be greatly appriciated.... also any places to buy race gas...would also help alot

also, what is the octane rating of your pump gas (petrol) over there?, my car perfers 100 oct here in las vegas(altitude is 2000ft) but im not sure what it will like at sea level and your cold temperatures in the U.K., here its easily 118F in the summer and detonation is a major problem with low octane gas

the subaru club i belong to in LAS VEGAS: www.flat4lv.com

 

welcome mate, have fun and we will enjoy your terminology. "gas" lol, love the yanks. plenty of good people on here, watch out for the trolls though, who havent got much going for them. if you have any problems, someone on here will know the answer.

how does the us spec scoob differ from the jap and uk market?

any piccies?

 

Hi Steve, welcome. I'm based up the road from Lakenheath at RAF Marham and also new to the area. There's a site called scoobycity.co.uk that seems to be based in the south east of England so check it out also if you're looking for meets etc.

Hope you enjoy the new found performance of your car in the cold British October compared to the heat and altitude of Nellis!

Dave

 

 

Welcome to Scoobynet!

The South East is a very active area for Scoobs, I am sure you will find plenty to do!

 

What you doing in Lakenheath ??

F15E ?
F15C ?

Or is it very secret ?

A big welcome, I'll look forward to a tour of the Station.

 

Hello there

Live not so far away near Bury St Edmunds, will look forward to meeting up.

The area of the country you are actually going to be in is coloquially know as East Anglia and that is a part of the much larger (for us Brits) South East - South East includes London.

As pointed out above, scoobycity.co.uk runs a forum and meets etc and is based in Norwich, some 35-40 miles away & is considered "East Anglian" in focus. There are sometimes meets in Cambridge (20-25 miles) and Herts (50 miles). Also check out the Subaru Impreza Drivers Club (sidc.co.uk) for local meets.

As for being a septic? Well...

Will keep an eye out. There is a bloke who I think is based in Mildenhall with a bright yellow EVO as well.

 

Well, just be careful - there is a horrendous road death toll in the area, disproportionately American, largely due to people off the bases forgetting which side of the road they should drive on



Maybe he's just the burger flipper in Usher's pole dancing club (no offence intended Steve )

Not much chance of getting on the base either these days!

And not many secrets round the base with an active spotter contingent and around 20 viewing areas

 

Welcome Better get used to the high petrol (Gas ) prices over here though

 

Welcome to the area mate - there is a Cambridge Meet on the last tuesday of every month in Fen Ditton and several ScoobyCity.co.uk meets around the area - it is a mainly east anglia based club.

 

Welcome matey, have a look at SIDC also.

 

Welcome Steve.
Hope you don't think I (we) are being forward, but can we borrow your runway?

 

Welcome Steve

Best fuel is Shell Optimax at 98 ron, will be 100 ron and renames V Power by the time you arrive.

Heres the bad part £1.00 a litre, its going to be a shock for you.

Nice part of the country although a little quiet.

J

p.s Bring plenty of warm clothes...

 

99 ron

 

The shock will be that equates to $1.90

 

which equates to around $7.20 a US gallon.

 

Not on the bases there isn't

 

What do you think the KC135 tankers ship in to Mildenhall

 

And...... what about the ufos visiting Mildenhall and Lakenheath at the moment? Do you know what they are? Or are they really "OUT THERE"

 

hi steve i'm just down the road from you as well in march cambridgeshire there's a local club out here call fenland flat four which hold monthly meets.and some of us locals have been holding small meets at a pub in march
