you can also expand it to when people ask daft questions you say " I haven't got a scooby doo" or I haven't got a tube of glue, (clue) think i will shut up now!!

Lol! Still not happening, it's just grabbed the thread URL.

Not to worry though, copying the link into the address bar does the job!

Plate, difficult one. Technically, it's illegal, and thus if you find the wrong copper on a bad day, you could be pulled for it. However, as long as the character font and spacing is kosher, with a bit of luck it won't attract too much attention...

In any case,Scooby is a kinda "cute" name for a hardie like SI,I think.It should have been called "Bullet" or "Tornado".What do you think?

i thought the "did you spill my pint" was the evo

wasnt the subaru "oi you - outside - now!"?

also - I know someone who argues the toss that a "scooby" refers to an XR2. the muppet.
