Nice STi UK in the car park today with grey alloys and huge AP racing brakes on the front.

Phil

 

HP Reading still sounds odd, Compaq Reading is more like it

Wurzel
HP Böblingen

 

LOL... maybe I should have put Death Park instead!!

Phil

 

Don't you mean, "the new HP"

 

Not down for "the chop" then? Heard quite a few rumours about bad times ahead for a lot of people...

 

Not at the moment.

Not too worried really,

 

yep... that was the one.

Phil

 

Seen several in the car park. MY00 Blue DBM, Silver MY00, UK300, MY01 Black 5 door, Silver MY98?, Sonic Blue MY00 and those are the ones I know of. Also been told theres another STI-7 but not seen that one.

 

I know who has the UK300 - he's a rally driver and the 300 is is day to day car - and the other STi UK is mine. I don't think I've seen an STi 7 either.

Phil

 

UK300 in an HP/compaq car park could be my Mrs

 

Towzer what is your real name then???

 

Towzer, Wurzel,

Do you both work for HP then ?

From the addresses looks like Wurzel is an "HP Heritage" person
and Towzer a "Compaq Classic" !!!

Reason I ask is that I work for HP, but am based over at Oracle at TVP, but my boss works in BBN !!!

Is it that obvious I'm a 'Classic' Compaq Classic!

My e-mail is now philip.molloy@hp.com

Chris - What building are you in at Oracle? My wife's at 510.


Phil

 

Hi Philip,

No, not really that obvious, more a case of simple calculation.
Old HP didn't have any offices as such in Reading therefore it must
be an old CPQ office and probability was that you prob came from the CPQ side !!!!

Yep, I know 510 very well as I work in 520 (next door !)

Chris

ps. not very chuffed at the spread of job cuts. I work in ESG who are to be hit with 350 after losing 35% of our workforce last Sept !!!

(email Chris.Fitzpatrick@oracle.com is best)

pps. don't know your wife !!!

 

Hi. I have a UK300 and work at Pinewood. Unfortunately, car is for sale which depressses me mightily..... only 10K miles and less than a year old.

There are a number of folk at Pwd that have Scoobies, mainly old body style... however, today we seem to be having a Boxster day for some reason, three silver ones parked in heringbone style in visitors car park

 

Fitz... I am in same boat. I work in HPC and we (as part of HPS) are down for 350 as well. This follows on from the VR that took place last October as well as the compulsory second round that we had in March.

I am wondering if it will be third time 'lucky' for me or if I will make it through having survived the last two rounds

 

It's my fault we are selling the UK300
Still have the legacy thou

 

Not really your fault ... just poor planning which is more a joint thing

Still, can always get another one later

 

Can get a STI in a couple of years
wonder what version that will be,10 perhaps ?

 

I'm one of the old... sorry "classic"-stylies (DGM MY99) in Pinewood !!!

What's the deal with all them Boxsters here today then .... maybe there's a hairdressers conference going in the Board Room

Sal.

 

Well personally, I'd rather be an employed rich hairdresser
with a boxster than a skint redundant ex-HP person who had to just sell their STi !!!

Bring out the handbags ...... ooooooooohh !!!

 

Not sure what's up with the hair dressers' convention out of doors.... perhaps they've come to sample our lovely parkland surroundings....

i have not seen any white shell suits to accompany your handbags though... the education lot must be falling down on the job!!!

 

Erm, it's England and rains a lot therefore they'd never be able to
dry their Customers hair !!! ?

 

England .... rain .... never

As for the education lot ... corporate tarts the lot of 'em !!

 

Rain! Rain don't talk to me about rain, you should try being in BBN at the moment it is raining so hard you can't see out the windows. it is also cold and foggy.

 

I used to work for them corperate tarts B4 moving to openview in sunny Germany

Andy why don't you sell the Legacy and keep the UK 300

 

I also work for HP.Work in the northwest of england for a customer but am based at Reading.Part of Compaq Professional Services as was but now under the HPS umbrella......
Perhaps we should have a distribution list defined in the GAL for Scoobynetters uh?

Cheers

Nick
