Some great memories. Done so much in the last 5 and a half years of scooby ownership and made so many good friends.

The early days (2004 - 2005 particularly) were just so busy, with a meet of some kind virtually every weekend! How did we find the time?!

Not sure it will ever be the same again for me, but I hope all the newbies coming on the scene have as much fun as I have over the years.....truly awesome times!

Glad you like the thread son. I haven't looked at some of these files for years & they go back to 2002. They do bring back some reminders of some great times though.
