Just had a call from Rich, his missus gave birth to a little baby boy this morning at 5.15am.

Congratulations mate, lots of sleepness nights ahead of you.

And a few group buys on baby clothes :D

Recaro baby seat is definitely a must though.

Rich doesnt have a name yet but Slowbaby will definitely be the nickname for baby when he grows up and starts posting on the boards like his dad.

:D

OMG :eek: :eek:
I can't belive he was out to play o Sunday when missus was due a few days later!!

Congrats Rich & Mrs Slowboy, Good job you've got a wagon, it'll make it easier karing all of that baby gear about......or are you gonna trade it in for a people carrier :D

Yeah, congrats to the big man. Got the remap in just in time to make that all necessary 140mph drive down to london. This time there was a reason for it, and not just for fun! Look forward to seeing"Slowbaby" at the meets.

Congrats mate, gonna be bringing slowbaby to the meets now heheh??? :D:D:D

Congrats to all :)

You'll be lookng for a roofrack now :p :D

Excellent news, nice one rich :D lets hope the little one eats like you ;)

Congrats man!

Lmfao @ you lot! :D :D :D

First chance I've had to come online since Tue night - nice to find a thread dedicated to 'SlowBaby'. May as well get the nipper used to Scoobynet from day one, eh.

Missus was due on the 20th, but got a call from her Tuesday saying I might want to come straight home after work. So I left early, and at just before 3am she'd had enough and said we had to go to hospital (they try to keep you away until the very last minute). Just over 2hrs later and I'm a daddy! Defo not a 'slow' baby! :D

And I already have the perfect family car - lots of doors, boot space, and even cupholders. As for a roof rack, that's not a problem...I'm sure BRD can tweak my map to accommodate the baby friendly mods. So no people carrier for now.

Thanks again fellas!

:D

Congrats Rich,he'll be driving a Scoob and playing Hockey just like us in no time,can't wait to see you guys dude!!

Mike.

WELL DONE MATEY!!!!!!!!

Congrats to the new parents! Hope everything went smoothly and mother and baby are well.

Let us know if we can help out in any way....meanwhile..enjoy fatherhood!

Me...still got 4 mnths to go till I join you!

Congrats Rich :)

Slowbaby is gonna be more expensive than any scoob will ever be :)
Maybe you need to think about trading in for a Focus :p

congrats rich :)

mags

Surprised you didn't spot the baby seat on your test run, mags. :D

Krade - don't need a focus, mate. Already got a 5 door family estate car. ;)

scoobnov - how about knocking up a little wardrobe, changing unit, and a crib? Not fussed about the wood - mahogany, rosewood, columbian pine? It'll be good training for you! :D

Hey Nice One Rich!

Congratulations to you guys, that seemed to come round very quickly! 'Slowbaby' is funny, as are the other comments. Hopefully 'Slowbaby' will get his sense of direction from his Mother! Ho ho!

Look forward to seeing you and the family in the not too distant future.

As Scoobnov says, if you need anything give us a shout. Unlike Scoobnov however, I am not very practical - so if you need to get drunk, fall asleep in front of the TV, and belch very loudly - I'm your Man!

Take care and best wishes

Asif

congeats to you and your other half on the new arrival :)

Thanks guys. Lol @ asif. :D

Amazingly, the little fella has an even bigger appetite than me! :eek: He eats every 3 hrs! And after he eats, it's all about the PPP - Peanut butter Poo-Poo!!! Yuk!
