Thanks scoobychick! I feel in good company now then

 

Hmmm - don't reckon that one relates to me - what's sexy about loose elastic?!

 

Ask me that again once you've been here for a month

 

I'm getting more and more pleased I joined by the minute!

 

Hi Lucy,

Nice car the RX8. there's a fair few people on here from the Leeds area.

 

Thanks STi! It is a nice car, in fact in the summer it's a great car - unfortunately in the winter it's a ridiculous car - couldn't get it off my drive for a whole week last year! So, currently considering a change, as I think RWD for where I live is a no-no!

 

Not driven one but know mates who have and they liked the RX8 although they did mention the back end. They do sound nice!

I take it you're out in the sticks a bit then?

 

Not really, Chapel Allerton area, but it's off a very steep little-used lane, that my car can't appear to climb if so much as a solitary snowflake has adorned it! So, move or change car I guess.....New car it is then (and they're starting to become too common now anyway!)

 

Well the AWD of a scoob would help but if you don't like common look elsewhere

 

True, but I don't think there's anything I can afford that isn't common - the RX8 had it for a few months, but they appear to have bred like rabbits in the Leeds area recently

 

Hi, and welcome.

 

Hi Doc, and thanks for the warm welcome

 

Get yourself a cheap 4x4 for the winter.


The Scoobs aren't as great as some would have you believe in the snow (that assuming you get REAL Snow).

Scoob is fine for an inch or so - much more than that and they start to get challenging (Fat tyres being the biggest problem).

Suzuki Jimny for a second car - great fun in the white stuff .

 

As a suvverner exiled ooop north, I can assure you we get REAL snow up here - thought I'd lost my way and ended up at the north pole the first winter I was here! And thanks for the advice - perhaps a 2nd car is the way to go....

 

Ooh now you're talking, I'm also a suvverner exiled oop norf and even the summers are cold here compared to darn sarf

 

Try Suvverner exiled to Aberdeenshire .

The wife's Jimny really is great in the snow (and being a soft top it's quite good in the summer too )

 

Tell me about it!!! The norf certainly has it's great points, but the weather is definitely not one of them - I have to have 4 wardrobes now, summer, winter, northern and southern!!! what a drag

 

The locals have a description for the weather up here - I think you may like it.


9 months of crap weather followed by 3 months of WINTER

 

I'd usually agree with you, but I'm pretty sure a weak ray of sunshine fleetingly broke through the clouds here a moment ago. (Although it could have been someone switching a light on next door, perhaps)

 

Welcome Lucy, you look like you are having a good time already. You appeared to have joined during the "scoobynet mad season".

I'm frequently in Leeds myself and know someone else in an RX8, nice car - much more room than you expect. ferocious fuel consumption though.

Have fun, relax and ignore questions about bread or whips.

 

Tell me about your whips, Lucy.

 

Thanks Milamber! You're right about the fuel consumption - she can drink more than Ollie Reed and George Best on a bender - but slightly more loveable probably

 

I've been banned from using the whips now, back to soft floggers, appears you men can't take it

 

There's a million ways i could answer that statement.


Welcome though, good to see an absence of txt spk; have a peek in Muppets at some point

 

Dnt no wot u mean m8, bt ty nyway

Thanks for the invite too, not sure I'm up to Muppets just yet though, a lot of the stuff on here is going right over my head!

 

Lol, I know exactly what you mean It's such a great excuse!

Oh by the way be careful if you go into muppets, I started out my scoobynet career in there and looked what happened to me, I ended up a Mod

Actually they don't know it but I still frequent the place, I'm just too scared to post

 

We know everything, SC

Loosey, get yer **** into Muppets. NSR is only for people with an opinion about everything, and knowledge about nothing.

 

How true.....

 

So does that mean in Muppets I can have an opinion on nothing, but knowledge on everything?! Hmmm - not sure where I fit then!

 

No, we're just fekkin clueless!!
