Well if you turn of right as if your heading into leam there is one just up the road on the left but i dont know his name or telephone number, sorry. might be worth a drive over tho

Ive phoned this guy already i think (located just off willes road?), its the only one in leamington/warwick in the yellow pages but he said he's got a bad back so wont be able to look at it for a few days yet til he feels better

I heard lucas were abit of a rip off but ive never been there so its just word of mouth, has anyone else been there before?

Basically my cars intermitantly overrevving on idle, doesnt do it for a good 5 mins from cold, but suddenly decides to get revving at roughly 1500rpm when ive been driving abit. Arden Bridge Subaru have had it in for about 3 weeks and have replaced idle air control valve,maf and ecu to no avail. So now its a trip to an auto electrician to look at the circuits more in depth and find out whats causing this bloddy annoying problem!!!

Ps nice silver classic at sainsburys petrol station (shires) sunday at 1ish

Were you working at Halfords on Sunday at 1ish ??

Bald Speed Racing

Hi there,

Might be worth giving these guys a call

The Village Garage
Tel: 01327 264614
30 Warwick Rd, Upper Boddington, Daventry NN11 6DH

They have just opened but the two brothers who run it are VERY experienced. Between them they have worked for Porsche GB, BMW UK etc.,.. worked at Director level for a dealership and one of them is an ex WRC mechanic.

They are not electrical specialists but I would of thought there is a good chance they can help, certainly worth a call to find out.

So averyp2 did you witness it then ??

Apparently one of the halfrauds guys was fitting a bulb in the fiesta at the time !

averyp2

iTrader: (25)

i didnt see it but a sure did hear it! the lad fitting the bulb in the fiesta on the right got caught on his hip slightly but is ok,the owners of the fiesta pulled him out of the way luckily.
how p#ssed would you be if that was your bmw though!? the guy was in halfords at the time and had no idea, imagine the convo, 'urh excuse me sir there is a quad bike parked in your rear window!'

Molds

WTF was the quad bike rider doing?

I followed one from Kenilworth the other week. He was dressed all in dark colours, it was night time and raining and the thing had just one small rear light. At first I thought it was a bicycle but wasnt sure why it was in the middle of the road. Not safe.

Bald Speed Racing

Strewth, was the Quad blue? if so its owned by a lad called Peahead (hes got a very small head lol) he does own a skyline but he cant afford to run it tho

Molds

If it was his own fault then from that pic you can only conclude he has a pea brain as well

averyp2

iTrader: (25)

ner its not that lad. i know who your talking about, him and his dad have got a garage down emscote road. this was someone else, someone far more stupid!

wrxseeker

iTrader: (1)

Didnt he used to have a WR blue 2 door impreza ??

Anyway it wasnt his quad.

Molds

So, does anyone know what the story is?

Bald Speed Racing

yup thats peahead, the car got covered in paint stripper and was written off in the end.

Well I popped in Halfruads at lunchtime and they said the kid was riding like a knobjock and caused the crash, they said he has been arrested. Someone is in hospital, dunno if its the rider or wot.

averyp2

iTrader: (25)

rider went to hospital with suspected broken ankle, the other lad is fine. The police were taking statements with the intention of doing him for dangerous driving. the quad was insured but in his partners name, so a pretty bad day all round for him

Bald Speed Racing

Well serves him right imo, wot a tool.

Robin filled me in, no doubt he was there on his radio broadcasting it all lol

gixxerpaul

Good ol Jingo jago always able to fill people in on the goings on at the shires

Gave you a wave but forgot I was in the wife's Astra !!

and averyp2 going past warwick station yesterday (sunday 18th Feb) at 4.30pm ish....

when I was driving the wife's car again !!

Molds

Sorry wrxseeker, didn't spot anyone waving me; Scoob or no Scoob! I do wave though (whatever you're driving ) so I wasn't being rude!

That was almost the last time my car was going to be seen for some time I reckon. 20 minutes after that I was coming back up Harbury Lane towards Leam. The long straight near the Leam side, some old guy in a Rover decided to over take coming towards me and tried to take the whole line of (I think) 6 cars! I was actually not going very quickly (honest!) and could see him from a long way off. Right from the start I had a bad feeling about him so I just came off the gas and cruised. The Muppet had loads of chances to pull back in between the cars he was trying to take but he kept coming! We missed by inches and I was almost, almost going to drive onto the grass. I could have come to a complete stop I guess (yep, thats how slow I was going) but couldn't believe he wouldnt pull back in before then?! In fact I dont even think he knew I was there FFS. Person at the front of the queue he was over taking looked over at me with a shrug and a WTF face.

Closest I have been to disaster in a long while and what a way to go if that had gone nasty. Taken out by a crap old Rover when I am barely moving and on a straight. Its hardly live by the sword...die by the sword eh? First time the car has been out in a week as well. It went back in the garage after. Phew!

Hope you all had a better weekend.

Its always hard when some other idiot drives in a way that makes you think they are going to damage your pride & joy let alone damage you.

At least there was no damage to you or your car - just some underwear to wash !!!

When I saw you you were on the new housing estate off the Tachbrook Rd opposite the new college and AP.
