Wasn't StuartH exposed as a charlatan. ie. not in the police at all and making it all up? Subsequently not seen.
I still recall Diablo taking his ball home and announcing he was quitting Scoobynet blah drone buzz.........
On his return (actually he never went anywhere)I commented on this melodrama and he flexed his muscle as a "Moderator".
Ha ha. I like this bbs coz of stuff like that.
God bless her and all who sail in her.
A fair few people no longer post as Pen (aka BC and prior to that by her given name if I recall) says. Incidentally Pen, your website still going?
I think some just get fed up hearing the same things over and over. Many think their stomping off means something to the rest of us and that we care.
How wrong can they be?

>>but have not visited very often due to proliferation of sanctimonious self absorbed types on here!
D.A., well, Scoobynet did get a lot bigger, and when you have more people around, you'll have more people you don't like.
Still, I think it's fair to say that there are also a lot of good new people who arrived, and to be honest, going from Penni's list, I'm amazed how many "early day-ers" are still present in some form or shape.
It has become fashionable to scrap Scoobynet as a "high volume/low content" bbs, but at the same time people like John Banks (and others) in Drivetrain really liven up the place and are providing incredibly good info/food for thought/fuel to the flames.
I'd go as far as to say that the available "knowledge" in the technical forums has become vast in comparison to "the old days". Just read the first few pages of Drivetrain again, and you'll see what I mean.
Yeah, there's a lot more static/noise (which can be fun sometimes), but if you look past the "General" forum, there is a wealth of a) good information and b) good eggs on Scoobynet.
Not meant as a dig towards you (unless you count me under those self absorbed types
), just a general observation.

It feels like I've just gone back in a time warp... seeing all these familiar names in one place ... aaahhhh reminising...
My website is still there and I'm going to have a shot at finishing it (with some help????? Frisby????? please...) bought book today 'idiots guide to webbuilding so with any luck) and when it's finished I will publish the address.
Dark Horse now.... yes...

SunilP is alive and well in Croydon & other far flung places - least he was when we had a bevvy some months ago
& despite the fact that he hasn't posted here for a long time, I still haven't caught up with his post count

I spoke to Sunil recently by email too, I miss him, for reasons anyone that remembers our banter will know
StuartH, I was waiting for that skeleton to come out of the closet...boy, could I tell you a story there - but I won't
I can confirm Yex is alive and well - he'd better be, he's part of our Jordan thrashing kart team in two weeks - the "Bitten Ham Rolls"
PS - Sal - how's our team flag coming on??

I'm still here honey but now got a 22B and NO Robbie I'm not going to change it! Is that PEN as in Penni or blackcat or perhaps Mrs W####he#d in real life? I have not heard from Mr Stollery in ages.
Give me an email to say hello. Still got the WRX?

Hi penny, good to see you are alive and kicking.
Tony Quinn, i spent the day with him at the autosport show recently so he is still around, doesnt post here now though.
I havent posted as much as i used to cos work has taken a lot more of my time and i had a few home issues to sort last year. I am due writing a new Novel about my trip to Monte Carlo plus i am going to compete in the Tbird rally again with Jamie in a couple of weeks, thats a good subject too for a Novel.
I have just been asked to co-write a book too.
Not gonna say what on but it will be a first for me. LOL

Mike Rainbird? Didn't he disappear mysteriously in the late 80s? I saw an article in a Ford mag that was apparently the last outing of him and his car (going at over 180mph) and, judging by the cars and the hairstyles, I assumed it was from about 1988-89 ;-)

Go on, please tell us the Stuart H story. I always thought he was genuine and for years seem to be the authority on all motoring related police matters. Spill the beans.

Yeah - I'd be interested to hear the StuartH story too - I just assumed he'd been rapped over the knuckles for posting by his boss or summat.
I remember some story about him and a "celeb" in the back of a car?

I don't want to recount the StuartH story here as it doesn't go down too well......
I suggest you go over to bbs.22b.com and do a search back a few months......
