Going to be moving up to East Riding in a few months and coming up next month to have a look at the area (and the roads). Can anyone from the area what the Scooby scene is like up there: are there (m)any Shell garages, any good independent specialists and any regular meets?

 

Hi there Spec-cie

Welcome to Yorkshire

Theres lots going on round you....

There is a regular meet at York first monday of the month.

First Tuesday of the month is a All jap-car meet at Sherburn in Elmet... which is 20 mins from York towards Leeds.

There are members scattered all over the place... where roughly are you going to be...

The shell I cant help you with as dont use it but Im sure someone will be along soon to help

Theres all these... https://www.scoobynet.com/northern-e...ast-coast.html


and also there is a club www.humberjapcars.co.uk

(Is that right Steve? address done from memory)

There is also www.japtorque.com which is a mixture of Jap cars from Lincoln to Guisborough, taking in Hull etc they attend all the shows, track days, meets etc

 

You know what?

I just typed up a big long reply to your post and it didn't upload!!

I'm in a huff now and can't be arsed to type it all again.

The shortened version is:

Yes there are quite a few of us.
Yes there are a few Shell Stations.
Elvington has an airfield for trackdays and the Shootout.
Another drag strip in the same area.
There are Hull Scoobs and York Scoobs.
The roads are good.......but watch out for men in high vis vests, holding cameras!! Very popular motorbiking roads between York and Scarborough/Brid.......plod/council have taken to putting the wee vans at the side of the road on long straight (fast) sections......oh yeah, they always seem to be slightly.....erm...hidden from plain view!!

Edited to add:.....Oh yeah.....and RE Motorsports have set up in Elvington. Rick has a very good reputation with the local people as a good independent specialist.

 

Hi Marty....

Hows you?

(sorry for hi-jack)

second for RE Motorsport Subaru Dealer, Subura Imports, Subaru Specialist though

 

Plenty to see and do around these parts, only a few miles from the coast, coupled with some amazing scenery. You wouldn`t wish to live anywhere else.
So, make yourself known. You`ll be made more than welcome

I'm fine thanks Claire.........you?

Hijacker!!!

 

Good thanks

 

Im booked in at RE Motorsport at the end of the month for my 10,000 mile service....

 

Spot on Clair, hi matey you will be more then welcome to join us

 

Thanks for all the replies. Not sure where we're going to be living yet ... somewhere in driving distance of Hull but hopefully out in the country and above sea level! Coming up next month to check out the area so, if you see a blue spec C, give me a wave. Hopefully will get to meet some of you in the future.

 

Will do.... If you want any advice regarding schools or anything else etc then just ask Im sure there will be someone in the area you are looking at
