Just a tip though, unless your one of the coolest kids in school, ditch the scooby stuff when you have girls over
Hmm, let me think about that......











No, i love it and it's going to grow.

not an obsession or sad

when I was growing up I had pictures of Lancia Stratos's, Roger Clark's Cossack Mk2 Escort and Rusell Brookes et al. But never had a collection of such depth - i'm jealous

It is rather sad but you are 14 so it's somewhat expected.
Now if you were over the age of 18 and went to meets wearing Subaru shirts/jackets/hats or making pictures for everyone to put on their computers or wanting to see pics of their keys then thats a whole different story.

Good collection mate, can't fault you at all!

Oh BW, weren't you going to come along to one of our midland-scoobies meets at some point? Or have you been to one already and I just didn't see you?

At the moment its not sad at all and fair play to you young fella.

If you are still as obsesive in 4 to 5 years time when you have discovered the delights of flange and hops then thats a different matter!

It's a long story about that poster actually:

When i was really young mum and dad used to go and spectate rallies, i used to stay with my sisters. I was usually not very happy about having to stay at home, so when they went to rally GB once (network Q as it was then) i asked them to get me a pressent, they came back and told me that they had got a pressent for me even though it only cost tem £1 - it was poster off the SWRT stand, they gave it to me in a role, and i found there were two, the person had picked up two instead of one, so that one went on my wall above my bed, (thats why it is torn on the corner) and the other one went in my drawer for safe keeping, that is what got me collecting merchandise, even though I already loved scoobs, I didn't collect.


Scotty.

Default good on ya

i love scoobys but seeing as your at least 7 years away from being able to own and insure a proper scooby then your collection will keep you happy for a few more years, not sure if they'll be many mint scoobs around by the time you want to own 1 seeing as your looking for a classic shape 1, but you never no p1's will probably be about £5000 so keep saving and keep collecting your not sad just passsionate

I don't think that's sad at all. A bit excessive yes, but sad, no.

My mates house is basically like that every where.

Having a hobby that you clearly enjoy is nothing to be ashamed of IMO.

Not sad at all mate, you should be proud! I would love to have a collection like that at your age, your future impreza will be a fine example too im sure if you keep putting that sort of effort in.

Id put that AutoArt 1/18 R Burns 99 model in a case though if i were you, they are a rare model worth quite a bit. AutoArt do a good range of display cases.

I don't think its sad, when i was young i was obsessed with Turtles,Cars,Bikes,WWF,Guns and Pamela Anderson lol. Its also nice to hear a Dad will show his kid the ins and outs of cars and pass down their knowledge.
Make the most of it m8, in a few years you'll meet a girl and all that will be replaced by flowers and little bowls with pebbles in .
