Re: Indian in Aberdeen

Huge choice mate. Jewel in the Crown on Crown St still does a good one but v.busy to sit in and might need to be booked?

Shabaz on Rose St pretty good

Cinnamon on Union Street (Holborn end, nr Rose St) supposedly 'authentic' - wife likes that one

Cheers

It's a hawkeye Lee. Not a fan of the hatch but apparently the saloon version will be available in UK spec very soon and I do like the look of that.

Re: Hi Folks

Holy smoke! I stand corrected - you're both right. No idea where I invented that from :oops:

Anyway - what I do know is that's it's definitely black and definitely has no gold wheels or a big spoiler. I'll post up pics when I figure out the IT.

Cheers

Re: Hi Folks

Cheers Guys for the welome back. Thanks Lee but not in the market for an Afterburner Vortex.

I was not sure about the 6 cylinder sti but h...

Re: Audi TT service

It's loody impossible to decide when you're just throwing good money after bad. I spent 2K in 6 months on my last Scooby before trading it - should've traded earlier - but that's easy to say with the benfit of hindsight. Like other folk have said, seems to happen to almost everyone at some stage.

Hi Folks

Hey Guys Back after a bit of a prolonged absence. Bit of financial meltdown last year led to the VX220 turbo being sold.

Re: Caterham Crash - Aberdeen

That looks like a fantastic cep. We get a few around here - always under beech trees but they're pretty uncommon and don't appear every year. Texture is firm and really nutty taste. Sliced and fried...

Re: I am a ned / chav

Looks great LD, I've often toyed with the idea myself, perhaps a green and gold theme...perhaps not.

Is that a real Steinmetz grille or did you find a substiturte material?

But then the VX looks better than an Elise in any livery :D

Re: Are you a REAL car fan? NLC - Alfa content

a mate of mine had the Sud Tii cloverleaf which was a cracker - literally, the monocoque split from one side to the other. Great car though :roll: :shock:
