Petter Solberg, 2003 WRC champion, MASSIVE motorsport legend. 460 odd stage wins. And a really nice guy.

Wow.....that is a very cool story bro- thanks for sharing and posting all those pics.

So to cut to the chase....how dafuq did you manage to meet Mr Solberg himself and what was the holiday/time away all about? Did you like book a package holiday at a winter rally course or something

Shame you haven't managed to bring any snow back with you

 

[Nilz]

[ScottD3]

Cheers bro.

I got it as a reward for being one of the top 10 Fiat Salesmen in the country.

They paid for everything, I didn't spend a penny.

Just bumped into him basically, got on with him really well. Sol erg wasn't part of the package they booked for us, he just happened to be home whilst we were there and took a shine to us.

Lol @ just bumping into someone with his talent.

From what I know of Scandinavian people, they take very warmly to pure petrol heads - probaby because they take driving very seriously because it is literally matter of life of death if you don't respect the roads/conditions

If I was that rich/famous I wouldn't be letting any random tracksuit wearing lad to see my private collection of motors in a remote plan/warehouse tbh! haha

I also expect PLENTY of driving videos of you mucking about in the snow when it reaches the UK - just don't go behind the wheel of a focus

 

[JingleJangle]

Been a bit of snow here in bham city centre!!

Ive lost my voice though from being at the Villa game last night!!

 

[jojo]

Snowed for a bit, but not cold enough to set thankfully!

[JingleJangle]

Dreading the motorway driving when i start my new job when it does start!! people driving at 3mph when its not even settling!!

 

[Westy]

Loads of rain in cambs. I want a load of snow. Because of my 100 mile round trip daily commute I always get to work from home with the slightest drop of snow

 

[Ghost]

I've got that Friday feeling

People got much planned over the weekend?

Think I'll be buggering about with my mates Focus and helping him with fitting a new exhaust - beer, fags and a swearing jar at the ready

 

[ScottD3]

Westy, I guess you do 100 miles commute for work?


This weekend I'm off to a mate garage to look at wiring up his Golf and making some custom LED rear lights for a customers RX7.
I also need to check out the faults on my motor as well.
But its currently ******* it down, so no chance of me doing any thing out side.

 

[Nilz]

Not much planned this weekend, need to change the tyres on the wifes car, so going to do that hopefully, got a cracking price on some Uniroyal Rainsport 3s - £60 each fully fitted (205-55-16) apparently they are a really good tyre too going by the reviews I have read. Footy with the lad in the morning tomoz and then just chilling hopefully!!

 

[Westy]

GFY

 

[ScottD3]

How was the corsa?
I assume you drove that today for your 100 mile commute?

Football and drinking on the weekend as well?


Its a awful wet and cold day today.

The 2s got amazing reviews for wet weather performance - so I can only assume the 3s will be just as good if not better.

Does sound like a very good price - £240 for a full set! wow.....

 

[Nilz]

Yes the 2s did have awesome reviews, and the few that there are for 3 are just as good in the wet and the dry, she doesnt do many miles, so im hoping they will last a while too.

Im actually looking forward to getting them fitted!!

Even the fitter was surprised when I told him the price of them.

Camskill have got them on their site.

 

[s3dave]

GFY

[Westy]

I didn't know you had a roof box Scott. You should have mentioned it

 

[ScottD3]

Did I not?
Sorry mate.

I'll be sure to make sure you are aware of it next time.

Good luck.

[JingleJangle]

Haha yeah deffo mate!! Ill make sure i keep an eye out aswell!

Ready to get my **** handed to me by a S3

Highly unlikely! lol, I rarely use it to go to work!! haha, plus traffic is a nightmare on Stratford rd.

 

[Nilz]

I go through Shirley everyday JJ, I will keep an eye out for you, who are you going to be working for and what you driving?

ha ha the element of suprise eh Nilz...

 

[Nilz]

Haha!!!

You never know who is waiting around the corner hey!!

 

[ScottD3]

MONDAY!!!!​

 

[g60leigh]

MONDAY!!!!​

Urghhhhh
Two and a half hours sleep 😒

Got to try and sort getting some of my money back from the muppet mechanic who messed up my clutch. But he is threatening to get his mates to come and beat me up 😱

 

[crazy88]

Boooooooo! I hate stuff like that. Why can't people ever be real men and handle stuff themselves rather than getting mates to come round. Get Scott involved, he likes stalking people. I'm sure he could find your dodgy mechanic in a compromising position soon enough and bribe him.

 

[g60leigh]

You up for the challenge of dirt digging on him Scott? Haha

 

[Nilz]

Morning all!!
