Will be staying at Hendra, just up from Morrisons. Used to use their filling station, but if its anything like the local ones, they don't have any SUL. Is it still Texaco on Trevemper road? Do they have any SUL, not keen on BP!

Only had V-Power in the car once because the nearest Shell station is around 12 miles away from me. Usually run Excellium (Total) or Sainsburys SUL. Didn't really notice any benefit from the V-Power, but maybe 1 tank not enough for the ECU to adjust. I think I know where you mean for the Shell station anyway, so sounds like I will be mostly using V-Power on holiday. Such a shame what with all those nice roads! Appreciate the help guys!

Oh god, bad for me i have a habit for spending on the scoob, actually i think i have bought some odds and ends from you in the past so a shop in newquay would be ideal.

Scoobs down here are growing in number too.

I have travelled around loads of the country in the scoob and visited countless counties with varying degree's of waves, flashes etc from other scoob drivers (and other japanese performance cars ), but.........................


By far you lot in Cornwall have to be the BIGGEST BUNCH OF RUDE AND MISERABLE scoob owners by far
Just come back from a whole week in Cornwall driving all over the county and out of all the cars we waved at , flashed etc, only one scoob waved back.

but the question still remains, would you bloody wave
knowing you , you probably wouldn't

Save up more and buy the house, but wait until the house prices tumble a bit and then you can have somewhere to entertain all those men..I mean ladies

You will find quite a few drivers down here are miserable, but tbh most of the scoobs down here are decent bar a lot of the newage bunch but i think they have no idea about the scooby wave as more are responding in kind.

Never got that invite, but as I had no web access and you are full of ****, I guess it was never going to happen

I spotted a rather interesting red classic in Bude last Friday, it was very subtle looking and nice and standard looking until I spotted an exhaust (screamer pipe?) coming out of the drivers side of the front bumper

I also had a DBM classic trying to keep up with me last Thursday but he failed miserably
