went down today at the last minute as i had nowt to do.did anyone else go?
on the way down i was just doing a steady 80 when i saw a car approaching at a great rate of knotts so pulled in,looking in my mirror i saw a great big intercooler on the front of a d9 estate 7 seater
when i got to pugfest saw it go up the hill a couple of times till he curbed a tyre! hope you got it home okay

was all set to go yesterday and ended up having to go into work grrrrr

I remember this car being on the forum



and seeing a picture over on the coupe club of a very similar looking car, but just looking and all images in the same post aren't showing

Wonder if the new owner made a few "subtle" changes

[plod]

Found other pic, but unfortunately different car it would seem

thats the car
if you look close at the front you can just see the blue samco hose for the intercooler.
looks like it was taken at pugfest
think hes trying to blow the tyre up in that pic

[plod]

Yes, I nicked the pic from a thread over on the coupe club about Pugfest


I don;t know about trying to blow the tyre up
Makes me think of this

Is it a HDI? I would imagine it looks quite menacing with that intercooler up front

Some enterprising individual will no doubt start selling dummy ones, for HDi 90's.

People can't see the intercooler unless there is no front on the car?

In that pic, it looks like he's taking a golf club to the car?

People can't see the intercooler unless there is no front on the car?[ on this car you can see it as its mounted outside under the bumper [its huge] says its off a suburu you can just see the hose for it on the front right corner]

In that pic, it looks like he's taking a golf club to the car?

[think thats a foot pump hes useing and maybe praying at the same time]

Now, is that a 3 wood, or the driver's door trim?

[sirwiggum]

Bit drastic to peel off the drivers door trim to beat the car with!

Hey guys, yes that was me doing a Basil Fawlty on my D9 Estate LOL

Yeah I had understeered over the rumble strips, accelerating out of one of the bends, and was gutted to find that I'd made my front 19" alloy square

With no spare (yes i know -), I first borrowed a rubber mallet from a friendly guy with a couple of rally cars. After some sweating i managed to get it a bit rounder but started to crack the rim before his mallet fell apart ! (sorry -)

-----Yes Omega thanks , I eventually found a very helpful guy in a 306 rallye (thanks Mark-) who lent me his spare to get me home...

Got the alloy welded, and threw i bit of paint on it to get me rolling in a straight line by wednesday lol

-----Ha Ha Thanks Plod, good old Fawlty Towers, I'm honoured that i reminded you of that hilarious episode !

-----Yes ToddM it's the 2.2 Hdi, running bout 200+bhp at th mo

Great day, Friendly bunch at PSCUK was my 1st time at PugFest

-----Yes sirwiggum, I removed the bumper, fitted a Japspeed Scooby FMIC, then wrapped the bumper over, cutting away any part of the bumper that covered the FMIC, Hoses, or stopped it going back on ..... and yes it seems that some funny guy(or girl) has photoshopped a golf club in place of the rubber mallet i was using LOL

[sirwiggum]

Hey Frenzy406

Isnt it unfortunate when people take pictures of awkward situations!

Wouldn't mind seeing pictures of the front with the scooby FMIC

Sorry about the Golf Club. We were all obsessed with Golf here for a brief while after McIlroy and Clarke.
That has all died down now after the hangovers and the poor play in the Irish Open / WGC invitiational.
