Default The Beast is back!!

Just picked up the finished beast last night - and within 10 seconds got spotted by Sticky and the crew - lol!

Helen's car is fixed (by Bowetts) so we're back to a 2 Scoob family again

Big hats off to Rick (sub1600). Although I only listed them as niggles after the build a couple were real brain teasers. He's completely refitted and reworked the exhaust to stop it knocking on the prop (more like a 4D rubics cube), traced and corrected an oil leak (devious little bugger!), replaced my ball joint (ooer) and a few other bits that he spotted. He also replaced my aircon compressor through Bowetts.

Proves the point that he's a real asset to the club on 2 fronts:

If you want something "normal" doing through a main dealer at a good price - he's your man. Safe pair of hand for your baby rather than the faceless and crap dealer service most of us have suffered.

If you want something "abnormal" such a project work that dealers won't touch, he's only too ready to get his teeth stuck in!!

A few of you have already used him and I can only echo their comments - if you've got any issues with your pride and joy, do yourself a big favour and contact Rick.

Best to contact him via Email (rick@rae-motorsport.co.uk) since he rarely gets the chance to browse on Scoobynet.

Made me laugh!

I'll do my best for Sunday but my brother is up on Saturday for a final knees up before he moves for good to Australia. So I'm figuring to bob along around lunchtime - ish

I'm hoping to be back "regular" again now - lol!
