you will totally love it. had mine 5 years now - been thinking bout trading it and my 306 DTurbo in for a Golf GT TDI, but every time i drive the Scoob it reminds me how proposterous that sounds! i love it to bits and it looks fabulous now - spent shed loads!

its an awesome car as you will no doubt find out in due course. if i do sell, at least i'll have had the pleasure of enjoying Scoob ownership (regardless of the downs that have come with the ups).

Hello.

Lincoln ? Not too far away. Can we expect you at the Scooby Shootout and the NBO ? Troll around (particularly Northern forum) and you'll find lots of details about these and other events.

Enjoy

Welcome aboard. Its a pretty good site for digging up info on any project or problem you are have in mind. Look at the events local to where you live. They are a good day out.

Ive had my scooby a couple of months, got to be said: it beats all my german cars in terms of sheer enjoyment!

K9VYN: You cant sell your scooby, its the one we all drool over when we see it.
