welcome to the forum mate - btw we are looking for someone to organise meets in the Dorset area thats why there is nothing up:smile:

[boysey]

:welcome_to_sws:

[coolscoob23]

i will ask the wife(julie) she is in to things like that,she seems to like organising me lol

[Edmondo]

its a woman thing mate - all this stemmed from me asking Jacqui would she organise the South West for the SIDC:hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

[coolscoob23]

are you going to japfest maybe you or jacqui could speak to her about it,tell her what is involved etc,i no it is in may but it seems there has been no one doing it for a while so a few more monthes wont hert will it

[Edmondo]

have added you to Japfest thread lists on here and SIDC - Been without one for a few months now - a couple more wont hurt:smile: ...............if she got the bug sooner just get her to give Jacqui a call or even better for you guys to come to the next meet:smile:

[coolscoob23]

when and where is the next meet,i will see if we can make it,car will need running in anyway so the more milles the better cant have a scoob and only run it at 4000 revs or less for too long can we

[Edmondo]

it would have been the SWS party but that has been cancelled - still think we are looking to do something weekend 18/19 Feb

[beachsleeper]

I got mine a 03wrx last year. It was standard, I changed the back box to a afterburner and changed the air filter. I put the scoob on the rollling road down at AP motors, wow it came in at 255 bhp just with the back box and filter change.Since then Ive took two cats off, Still got the the cat in the Down pipe which is the big one. And last week I got 271 bhp on the rolling road, so Im well Happy. :action-smiley-065:

[coolscoob23]

i wont have any cats so i would be well happy with 271.5 lol

Just watch out. Your scoob may over boost. Its common with the new age. A remap may be your next mod. Thats why I havint done mine yet.

[coolscoob23]

cant afford a re map yet so lets hope it dont get to fuel cut,sorry for delay in reply had to take 15 yr old daughters freind(boyfreind)home,dont want the little s++t getting his feet under table

[Edmondo]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[coolscoob23]

it aint funny edmondo its making me go grey(and bold from pulling my hair out) dam teens full of mouth and no it all lol
took him home in the work car a ford mondeo cant have him a scooby

[Edmondo]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: - know what ya mean - have 3 Boys - older 2 no probs even when they were that age but the youngest who is now 15 I have a job to keep myself from having "serious words" with him - he's 16 in 4 months so have told him unless things seriously improve he will be looking for alternative accomodation............

[coolscoob23]

we had that over xmas had to get her from town p1$$ed and had serious words she said she was leaving home at 16,she cant even be arsed to clean up after herself,iorn,put plates in dishwasher ect but thinks she leave home,grounded for 2 weeks and she seems to have calmed down a bit now,lets hope it lasts,allthough she has just been suspended from school for decking some girl who was bullying her sister how wrong is the school as the bully walks free

[Edmondo]

Jamie was the Bully - School expelled him just over a year ago - he's at college - would you belive bloody part time - we have gone thru just about every avenue to try and keep him on the straight and narrow - almost on first name terms with some of the local police - disappears for 2 or 3 days at a time - it has put a hell of a strain on our marriage ( Jacqui is his step mum - his real mother wants nothing to do with him ) - he just doesnt give a toss about anyone or anything - he doesnt realise that he is throwing his life away and I find that really really sad cos he is a real intelligent kid.

[coolscoob23]

i no what you mean i am the step dad real dad jumped under a train 6 yrs ago(dick head)and julie and i had to pick up the pieces and still are at times we havent had the police on the door yet but it does put a strain on things at times,worst of all we sure she was dabbling with chemicals befor we grounded her but seems to have moved away from thet crowd so i suppose the boy thing aint so bad if thats why she left some of bad crowd

[Edmondo]

we are sure he is / has played with funny substances - he is very good at borrowing things on a no return basis as well especially from Jacqui - I picked up yesterday after a 2 day jaunt away from home and all he has done is stay in his bedroom and doesnt talk to any of us in the house

[coolscoob23]

we had to sped all night in front room with her think it was bad trip or something,some of the things she said her mother,i felt like decking her myself,had to get up for work 7.00 am after going to bed at 5.45 am whilst she spent the day asleep!we think alot of it is pent up anger over her rejection from father,but i did learn to play poker that night online

[Edmondo]

first wife walked out when he was 7 - at 9 he had to go and live with her ( cos the Child Courts said so:angry-smiley-055: :angry-smiley-055: :angry-smiley-055: ) - he became pretty feral over there and was we are sure abused - we got him back at 11 and the last 4 1/2 years has been very difficult - all sorts of outside agencies has been involved with him and none of the problems seems to have been resolved:j_sad:

[coolscoob23]

tell me about we went the counselling road and it turned her into a monster!dont take this the wrong way but its good to hear we are not only ones with kid probs,i think the only way to deal with it is stick together as a couple both pulling the same way and have plenty of patience

[Edmondo]

Jacqui bless her has had to put up with so much **** from him - had stuff stolen from her by him and yet she will still defend him - but it has come to the stage that at 16 I may have no option but to tell him to get out............I will be gutted to the hilt and feel that I have failed

[coolscoob23]

good to hear you got a good women there, there are plenty that would have gone,it it just a shame the kids wont see it untill thay are about 25,i have looked out for and supported are daughter for the last 10 yrs and i think maybe she is just starting to see i am not the bad guy now so there is hope

[Edmondo]

With this Scooby Club we have taken him to shows - turned his bedroom into a Subaru Shrine - got him involved as much as poss but it hasnt been enuff - you are right though he wont see it till he's 25 - the older ones are 20 and 19 and on the whole they get on with her - ups and downs every now again but no real probs - but I hope that when Jamie gets to 16 things have calmed but as it stands I am struggling to find a valid reason for him to stay under this roof.

[coolscoob23]

you got to keep going mate,and hope it will come good,sorry to say but i got to go bed julie will be cold if she has to go alone and i got work tomorrow,keep me posted on the next meet it will be good to meet both of you in person i am sure ju will come with me,will cathch up with u soon(next time kids doing my head in)maybe there should be a problem page bit lol

[Edmondo]

cheers bud - will suggest a problem page - look out for meet details in Jacqui's area

[bob]

Glad to see i'm not the only one with problem kids....:frown: They have all grown out of it now thank god.. Now the girls have kids of there own I think they feel sorry for the things they put us through and are much closer than they have ever been.:smile:

[Neil G]

I don't have kids:party0006:

Jamie is a good kid Ed and I'm sure he'll quieten down as he gets a bit older

[STiG]

Ahhhhhhhh, I think I can stand with Bob on this one (not often) but have been there and done that, had two step daughters live with me for the past 14 years, 18 and 20 now and have kinda found their way in life, but they still have moments but by and large have turned out ok.

Where abouts in Dorset are mate? I'm right up north of the county.

[coolscoob23]

hi stig i am in sherborne(posh area)lol
