Ok, seeing as I now realise there are actually a lot of Scoobs in and around East London, especially Docklands, how about we meet up once in a while?

There are some good places to meet up and compare notes, but I'm not 100% sure until I look into it more where we can eat...would depend on the number of attendees. My thoughts are meeting around Canary Wharf as its easy to find, then going for a blast out past City Airport to a pub.

Register your interest here.

Ugg!....

Edcase

OK so the west london lot are interested in a visit, what about the other locals? You know who you are!

Hello mate

You know you can count me in, especially for the blast to City Airport - its my daily route so i will really enjoy it in a convoy of Scoobs

Not sure where we can stop but we will think of somewhere

eliot

p1bobsta

Yup... I'd be up for this.

Unfortunately, my scoob's got suspension issues (knocking noise coming from rear) at the moment and is booked into Wilson's this week to get it looked at.

Once that's sorted - bring on the convoy!

Edcase

Seems a common-ish problem with Scoobs.

Mine also has a problem...namely body roll and huge gaps under the arches! Being sorted this friday at TSL with a set of Eibachs

ed_the_duck

ed what wheels and brakes do you have on your scoob?

Edcase

Getting Team Dynamics lightweight alloys (as seen in BTCC) but bog standard brakes for now.

How come?

ed_the_duck

just wondered as you gettin engine work done to...need to stop it

Edcase

Ahhh - all in good time ed all in good time

Actually I'm really stumped as to which direction to go regarding tuning ATM so I may finish all my styling mods first, which will take til summer, and then see how some of the current warranty issues people have get resolved and see how ecutek etc. develop.

You getting a bugeye then or what? Make is snappy, prices are expected to start rising a little come May / June.

ed_the_duck

looking into it.....a blue black jobbie with 7 miles on the clock
Awful front end mind!.....still got a much nicer scoop than the 03's lol

bugeye

ED just do it, you know you want to.......!

eliot

Oi you lot, lets get a few of us confirmed for this - the more the merrier!!

Lets put a few dates in the forum (I'm sure we can find a day we can all make it), for a meet and work out where we can go for drink/bite to eat

by the way ed, if you are around this weekend, let me know

eliot

Edcase

Okay, anyone around for Sunday 2nd Feb???

eliot

Count me in

Edcase

OK, I'm away this weekend...who fancies the 9th?

Paul N P

I'll be up for some of that on the 9th Feb!

Be careful down the dock roads though, I got pulled by the fuzz twice in a week for looking like I might've been going too fast, of course I denied this!

Cheers

Paul

Hi guys,

I should be able to make the 9th too and Canary Wharf sounds good to me. If we are going to go on somewhere else (doesn't CW have some decent places to eat or are they shut at the weekend?) then I hope people can stick to a convoy, and not let it turn into a race. I've been to too many events where peolpe have taken their brains out just because they are driving with "fellow scoobs" and don't want to feel I have to drive like an idiot to keep up (I only drive like an idiot in the countryside )

Cheers,

Matt

you should be able to count me in as well as long nothing unexpected crops up(usually does knowing my luck)

Could also be on for this one but got a heavy night next Saturday so depends on the hangover situation.

Edcase

Hi all...there is a Surrey meet on the 9th, anyone fancy convoying along the Thames to meet the West London lot and then a mass convoy down the A3 to Guildford? They have a great spot down there and some superb cars...

If its raining, then we stay East?

How does that sound?

Matt - yeah I'm the same mate, don't worry shouldn't be a problem.

mutant_matt

Can't do the bigger one as I need to be in and out within an hour or two, regardless of weather.

Where are we meeting anyway? Cabot Square or somewhere like that? (can you get up there on a weekend these days?). How big is McD's car park down by the roundabout?

Cheers,

Matt

eliot

Count me in for the 9th, but better if we stay locally as i will only be able to stay for a few hours

How about Excel, that could hold about 10,000 scoobs - only joking, just feeling a bit cheeky this afternoon

let me know - by the way ed, have you got the wheels on yet?

eliot

mutant_matt

Ideally, we want somewhere easy to find with a big car park and if poss, somewhere to eat/drink (and ideally within sight of the car park )

Matt

Edcase

I'll do a reccy tomorrow lunch...

mutant_matt

Good Man!

So what time on Sunday? 11? (and what is the state of play with the Blackwall tunnel on eves and weekends?)

Matt

Edcase

OK - maccy d's is a good location, right near canary wharf, good size car park, and surrounded by bushes to keep away unwanted attention. Streetmap link is here

The maccy's is right on the roundabout, and you have to go onto Trafalgar Way to access the car park.

Let me know now if people are definitely up for this - I'm happy to blow out the Surrey meet if we are going to get a decent turnout but if it's only gonna be 3 of us I'd rather do it next weekend instead? However if its raining on Sunday then I'll definitely just stay local regardless.

How does 11.30 sound? Blackwall Tunnel is fine @ weekends for anyone coming from South.

So...this week or next, this week or next, this week or next???

Ed

mutant_matt

Can't do next week so I need it to be this Sunday. I don't care what the weather does (but dry and bright like yesterday would be nice though ) and 11:30 sounds good to me.

I'm deffo in, hopefully everyone else is too (and I know where McD's is so I'm sorted!).

Paul (N P), I hope you're coming as I want to sample the mods you've had done (and we may be able to do a DeltaDash road run including DetaDash Dyno ).

Ta,

Matt

Paul N P

Matt,

I'll be there mate! Looking forward to doing some logging as well.

Cheers

Paul
