Where you all hiding

I get enough looks from Evo and Civic Type R drivers wondering what im driving but never see any scoobs
Well of course you will see the Evo's and Type R's . . . All the Scoobs are too far in the distance at full throttle

I saw a green classic parked up outside Halfrauds with some kids in the back last night and was followed home along Manchester Road and up Princess Ave by a Blue classic... tried to wave as I turned off, but I didn't see/get a response.

I make the effort to go through Atherton/Tyldesley everytime I go out, but you all seem to have gone into hiding since I got mine!

Come out, enjoy the weather, and most importantly, give me a wave

Looking at the times of the last 3 posts from you 3 most normal folk are in bed when you lot are up. Daylight hours are better for being spotted or are you stuck in your coffins during the day.

Hi all! Hope everybody's ok.

Seen a couple around lately, but none of you apart from Andy a couple of times.

AndiThompson, I've been trying to keep a look out for you... but haven't spotted you yet. I did spot a bright red sport with a big spoiler and exhaust today, which I thought was you untill I remembered yours is dark red.

Everyone keep a look out for my square rear plate too off my car. It fell off on my way home from work yesterday, somewhere between St Helens and Atherton, lol. I only noticed when I got home, and put the car away. I've got a nice new shiny plate now though... but I'm going to report my missing one to the useless Tyldesley police.

Also, keep a look out for a dangerous driver in a red UK Spec 300ZX TT. This **** was trying to race with me in a 30 zone, and was backing off and flooring it to my back bumper. He then on a very narrow bit of road, overtook me with cars parked up on both sides... and then cut me up when he realised he couldn't get past the learner driver in front just narrowly missing a car coming the other way!

-Elliot

I'm posting now to prove I'm not nocturnal. I got up this early just to prove it.
























Or maybe I just haven't been to bed yet, I'll let you decide

didnt wash the car after all, however I did hoover it (on the indside) may wash it tonight. It has been too dirty for too long.
(probably talking to myself here as there doesnt appear to have been a lot of activity recently). Thinking of taking up photography, nature and all that (just bored at work so just rambling)

Saw the green classic last night parked up near the astley tandoori looks quite clean. Not seen any others about (only been back though for just over 24hrs though)

Yeah he's back
Are you still married jay or has she found out what you are really like? How was the honeymoon?
I'm convinced that no-one around here owns a scoob except us 2. Either that or they only use the side streets. Been driving around more than you do recently only to spot loads of scoobs that don't use scoobynet. Spoke to a decent bloke today driving a very very white scoob in Tyldesley. Shamed me into washing the car as well.

yeah still married Andy, life hasnt really changed apart from I now have a bit of colour in my face. Honeymoon was smashing, would definately recommend the dom republic, bit limited outside the resort but luckily ours had everything including an ice rink and trapeze that you could go on (not recommended on an all inclusive where you are usually drunk)

All the other cameras in the area should be safe then. It doesn't bother me though as I seem to always be stuck behind rovers, volvo's and micras doing 25mph. (Thats just the motorways as well) 20mph on the A roads. Should have bought a sinclair C5 for this area.

Cheers, the pup is doing fine now. She hardly ever bites now as she seems to have gotten that out of her system whilst we were away. Even goes out for a poo (when the doors open). and she has also nearly doubled in size. Just in from walking her

I've spotted you for sure. More chance of spotting the fiat than these vampires on here. Question for AndiThompson. How did you know it was a silver car when you only go out after dark?

If the business is based on Elliott Street Tyldesley then I see you almost every day. If this is the one I will wave if I spot you. Blue stickered up classic. Gold wheels. Rather dirty at the moment. Making jaytc feel okay that there are 2 dirty scoobs.

Steph, is yours the grey Type R then?

Sorry if I'm wrong, as I'm probably getting confused. There is a grey Type R going around, and I'm sure the private plate hints at the name Steph possibly if I remember correctly??

hehe... I got a wave off a GT4 owner today. It's the black ST205 GT4, with all the HKS graphics all over it... sometimes seen on the Kwik fit carpark at Leigh.

Cool, we'll hopefully see you around in the scoob when you get it then.

Shall keep a look-out for your van. Does it have any graphics advertising your company on it?
