Hey folks, just a note to say "Hello" to you all, had my first Scooby about a week now and loving it!! Had all sorts of cars in the past from the old RS2000's to a 911SC but the Impreza drives superbly. Anyway just wondering if I am the one of the oldest folk on here! at the tender young age of 55 my moron brother actually said that i was too old for a scooby!! bloo**y cheek..mind you he drives a 996...posing git!!

I'm a touch younger - 44, but still an old "git" to some in here I'm sure! I'm on my 4th Scooby Turbo.

Happy Christmas! :-)

June who does rally radio marshalling around here got a P1 for her 80th birthday present to herself, now changed it for an STi7. So you have a few years to go yet.

That quote is not due to your age. It's 'cos the only thing you'll be tempted to race up there will have four legs

L Vic's premium was double that with no business miles and limited miles as I only drive to the Post Office for my pension.

Thanks for the info - my renewal comes up soon and I will try Liv Vic. Young drivers are always expensive,lets hope it doesn't start to affect us more mature types!

Unfortunately I'm not so much in Gods country as Yobs county.
But I am putting my Winter Payments towards extra tanks SUL in the hope of making it across the border

No Scottish tour this year due to Johns involvement in the Isle of Man bash I guess.

To get back to the original subject, I'm 3 weeks short of 59 and have had the Scoob 4 years in March. Again plenty of mods. Maybe see you at some of the shows?
By the way, I play guitar - I assume you do?
