I was here pretty much from the start of the original scoobynet in 97/98 when my stint of scooby ownership began.

I used scoobysport exhaust systems on my first 2 turbos and they were (and still are) a good exhaust system. I've spent countless hours whizzing round the countries tracks in the company of pete and april - and it was all good fun. I've had pete have to tell me I've been banned from bedford autodrome - to then help me resolve the issue and be un-banned (roll on end of may and the new XTR4 will be popping its track cherry there fingeres crossed) - none of which he had to do.

Its unfortunate that nothing ever lasts forever - hope it all works out for you Mr C.

Ian.

Bad luck Scoobysport. I'd like to thank Pete for his excellent advice when I bought my first Scoob back in 1998 & I of course fitted his excellent backbox. I also remember Pete's support in the early days of the SIDC.

Pete generously sponsored my Scooby entry in the 1999 Le Chateau Challenge trip in aid of Marie Curie cancer care. (We won the event, visiting 38 Chateaux in 2 days.)

Thanks Pete & good luck in the future.

We sell our Imprezas, and see what happens (That was an attempt at light hearted humour BTW..... )

Just spoken to Pete, he's in the pub - that's my boy

Regardless of my personal feelings, this is a sad day for the whole Subaru community when one of the "Old Faithfuls" closes it's doors.

very sorry to hear this as I will be buying a scooby in the coming few weeks

So does that mean you will be selling what you have left of your stock for cheap?

Very sad. I remember a few years back when Scoobysport and Scoobymania were the only real sources for Scooby bits.... will seem very strange to not have them around.

My Scoobysport back box will bark out my sympathy for Pete . Hope he bounces back quickly.

Posted on behalf of Dave T-S

Pete was rather reluctant to get in the passenger seat of many people's cars, but I managed to persuade him here - Donno 031101
