i always take up two spaces if i can !! coz im fed up getting doors slammed into mine.

Got my scoob near three years ago and it was immaculate and now theres at least five different dings due to ***** that cant open there car doors without banging them into someone elses pride and joy !!!

Scoobies a not "that common" so don't see many about to park beside, but on the Sunday before Christmas I was in Tesco's at Knochnagoney and there was a space beside another Scooby (a dark blue classic I think) so I parked beside it and when I came out it was gone.

I've seen posters up in Bangor about this too, obviously it's aimed at 4x4 & people carrier drivers as that all you get in Bangor these days , oh and spide's in Corsa's and Clio's too.

i remember having this chat. i was starting to think i was the only peeps that was so sick that i went looking other scoobs to park beside .and when it happened the last time mrs fabio just looked at me and said boys and there toys .

but to save me a bit when we returned to the car,the scoob id parked beside was gone only to be replaced by another one on the other side of mine.

It depends - if I spotted any of you lot I would park beside you, for a quick nip into the shops. There is always the risk that the scooby leaves and some 25 stone grunt in a monster truck parks beside you and steps out onto your bonnet as he dismounts.
