View Full Version : UK scoobies are slowww
big eck 05 January 2004, 23:20 I raced a lad last night from falkirk to kincardine and he couldnt get passed me, he had scoobynet transfers in his back windows, it was a green wagon type, R reg, anyone off here??
Oh I forgot to mention i've only got a corsa.

big eck 05 January 2004, 23:59 I take it thats a no then??
scoobyslayer 05 January 2004, 23:59 16V CORSA ????? WE ALL KNOW UK TUBBS ARE SLOW,
scunnered 06 January 2004, 00:11 Did he know you were racing him?
Just because you were racing him doesn't mean he was racing you.
(I think this thread is a wind up)
big eck 06 January 2004, 00:14 Trust me m8 it aint a wind up he even pulled up next to me at the roundabout and gave the thumbs up
sasim 06 January 2004, 00:24 Oh dear oh dear :rolleyes:
Will this go anywhere, I think not.
Keep it clean and friendly and it will stay open

big eck 06 January 2004, 00:26 No point in bein like that m8, was just wondering if the guy comes on here, its a 2ltr 16v corsa i've got so its not that unbeleivable.
RS Grant 06 January 2004, 10:44 Yeah, a 2.0 16v Corsa would give a totally standard UK Turbo a decent race, once up to speed, but throw in some rain, standing starts and twisties and it will be a different story!! :p :D
.......also thought this was a wind-up thread!! ;) :)
Cheers,
Grant
Johnny50 06 January 2004, 10:56 Must be a wind up...cos everyone knows that Wagons can beat anything !!! :p
Saxo Boy 06 January 2004, 11:01 UK scoobies are slowwwww
Er no! I think you'll find they are rather quick and by virtue of the fact you kept up with one so is your car. John Banks has a UK scooby that would blow the back doors off an M3/M5 and put the sh!tters up Ferrari's - should we now regard rarri's and M's as slow because John's modified scooby can keep up :rolleyes:
Besides, 'slow' is a matter of perspective. To some people a VTR is fast as fvck to others an Tommy EVO could do with being a little quicker.
RS Grant 06 January 2004, 11:26 Sorry to be a stickler for details, but the current M3 doesnt have any back doors to blow off SB!! :p :D
I agree with what you have said though, all very true... :)
Cheers,
Grant
Civic Type R 06 January 2004, 13:21 If it was an R reg then it was a classic scoob and would have blown the Corsa away. Ever considered that he wasn't even trying to race you ??
Threads like these don't really go anywhere ......they just annoy people. If you want to settle it then go up to Crail and have your face reddened :D

drb5 06 January 2004, 13:26 :D
just my two shillings worth;)
Saxo Boy 06 January 2004, 14:04 Sorry to be a stickler for details, but the current M3 doesnt have any back doors to blow off SB!!
Insert 'bootlid' as and when required :D
scoobyslayer 06 January 2004, 15:11 think what big eck is trying to say is standard tubbs are SLOW,from past experiences i belive a good 16v corsa which ways less than a fag packet would blow away a subaru,remember power to weight ratio,but then again every subaru owner thinks there cars are unbeatable,
john banks 06 January 2004, 15:18 Mine won't beat anything at the moment until I get this rather large six speed box fitted.
RB5-Black 06 January 2004, 15:38 LOL Slow :rolleyes: .......... Fiat siecento's are Slow :D
UK scoobs just arn't as fast as some other things out there.
you put a 2ltr lump in a Corsa of course it's going to be quick but it's a highly modded Corsa.
go have a race with a modded UK scoob and it'll leave you for dead , at the end of the day
MY CAR'S FASTER THAN YOUR CAR:p
scoobyslayer 06 January 2004, 15:45 rb5,what you are saying is correct,put most performance moddified cars up against a factory product and i dont look good,
y ur car faster than mine ????????
Johnny50 06 January 2004, 15:46 I can see this being locked soon.. :(
RS Grant 06 January 2004, 16:15 ........Johnny, possibly a good thing?? ;) :)
Cheers,
Grant
scoobyslayer 06 January 2004, 16:40 there again if i was beat by a corsa i would throw my dummy out to
RB5-Black 06 January 2004, 16:45 just a phrase mate :p

scoobyslayer 06 January 2004, 16:47 so tell me,y do threads get locked on here,y not just move to a muppet room if they get out of hane
cheeRS stu
Johnny50 06 January 2004, 16:50 They get locked as they eventually turn into a slagging match, which serve no purpose at all, and is of no use to anyone on the board.
I must be getting old...
RS Grant 06 January 2004, 16:51 Be too many threads in the Muppet Room Stu... :p
Waste of web-resources, probably!! :p
Cheers,
Grant
