Hi Tim
I have just read your reply and I notice you now have some new wheels in a nice shade of gold. Have you done anything else with the brakes yet.
I will give you a call...

Ah another Oracle person, Mine is the silver MY97 5 dr with SS pipe etc in the 530 car park.
There is a silver MY00 4dr with prodrive also in 530, and a white STI in 520. plus there have been a couple of others trundling round...... Are they overtaking BM's as the car to have in Oracle ?

Hi Sheridan and Colin W
I work at Computacenter ( Next to the Gym)
Blue MY98
Looks like we have a few Scoobies on the Park. There are a couple over at Microsoft and one of my Collegues has a Blue 4 door MY00
Do you guys ever go for a drink/food at lunch time at the Gym ? ( you will NOT find me in the actual gym its self - Tooo Painful)
If you do we could grab a sandwich one lunch ???

Hiya,
I also drive in the Reading area, between Windlesham and Twyford to work in a Silver SIDC stickered (subs in the post!) 95 WRX. I often see a couple of Scoobies during the journey.
I also own a 4 legged Scooby!!!!
Cheers

anyone heard anymore about a local meet ?
I started this post to get one going and a few said it was coming (SIDC official ?) any news
I heard (or read in SIDC newsletter 'True grip') that flyers were available to slip under another scoobs wiper when spotted, how do you get these, or should I just print some up at work (SIDC member has spotted you, contact details, etc)

I live in Reading but cycle to work (it's
quicker). Occasionally drive and
can be seen Church Road, Wilderness Road
Shinfield Road. Otherwise Wokingham Road
A4, Henley.
4dr DBM Turbo with Scoobysport BB.
I am the one revving for "no apparant
reason".
If I don't wave, I didn't see you.
Any meets (at pubs) religously attended.

Hmmm. SGT... Hmmm.... I've had a couple of services there and they do the job - prices are average to high from other comments I've seen on the BBS.
BUT I will never use them again! I ordered a load of bits last June - nothing major, just things like a new bolt for the air filter cover as theb 2nd hand Scoob I bought was missing one. In the meantime I put a bog standard one in. Kept getting the run around for months! Their computer was down, Subarau said they were 'on the way', they were revamping the showroom, etc etc. I got most of the bits in November. I got the final parts this January!
You can accept 'the computer is down' once but not every other time you ring up. My business is going elsewhere.

Scoobymania have a premises in Maidenhead and I understand they will be doing servicing as well - I have been taking my car to SGT and to be honest do not have any complaints about them - they are fair to reasonable in comparison.
But I now plan to take my car to Scoobymania in future for everything including servicing,
I am sure Ben will correct me if I'm wrong on the servicing score.

PS: Hi Dave haven't seen you at all this week, however did see a green Scoob doing an impression of an ice cube yesterday heading out of Maidenhead - he waved.

I'm in Flackwell Heath, near High Wycombe, but collected my RB5 (T442 LBL) from Lancasters near Reading a couple of weeks back. Have been in Reading for a few days since. We have a beauty of a silver 2 door STi here in the village, and a 22B passed through recently.

I work in TVP, and commute from Henley.
Siver WRX (93),with a Japanese Spider in the double glazed back window! A warning to theives?
I've just had the car serviced at the Crowne Motor Company in Henley. They seem to have done a good job, but £35 an hour, plus VAT, was a shock. Took 6 hours, I had an exhaust fitted from the turbo back though.

The 'crook field day' is a fair point, but then again they would probably think twice givenwhat this lot would do to them.
I suggest not disclosing where you leave your car unattended if you can avoid it
