Cool

....Hope you all had a good xmas.

I took my sister and b.i.l out for a spin in the wagon last night, it was their first time out in a scoob. MY96 uk wagon, scoobyecu, decat centre and scoobysport b/box with a nice little baily d/v.

Took it easy till upto temp, b.i.l said " I thought it would be a little faster", temp gauge got upto temp, and then booted it in 1st 2nd and 3rd, barking and spitting as they tend to do.

You've never seen a blokes face change so quick, God how I laughed
and to think I only paid just over £7K in March. There's another thread on here about getting used to the power and acceleration, that all seems to change when you take out a scooby-virgin don't you think?

I love my motor and I think my sister may put a little pressure on him now to buy one......RESULT !!!

Have a good new year and a cracking 2004.

Skoosh.

Brilliant stuff!!!

I tend to drive round with only partial throttle until they mutter those fateful words about thinking it would be quicker. Then............well you whats next dont you!!!!

Lol, always good to make people think the car is not as powerful as they thought it would be... Wait for the whispering or comments and put ya foot down..

Even better when another car goes to overtake you and you let them get halfway
