If no-one else will do it, I will

Welcome to SNet

Nice wagon, just needs springs, 18's, tints, detango and front lip. But I suppose if it's leased you won't bother Just enjoy it, and drive it like it's stolen

Hi & welcome 2 Scoobynet, the happy land of those who r:
1) Too afraid 2 drive/park anywhere/ go 2 work or sleep in case their car is keyed/stolen/reversed into/has eggs, cat poo, spit, or MacDonald's offerings deposited on it.
2) Believe that the world will end if ever their knocklink stops working!
3) R bankrupt from insurance/fuel/modding costs!
4) Laugh at saddos in the real world who talk about trivial things & then spend 4 days discussing which is the best colour on a scoob, blue, silver or black!?
Enjoy! You too will b completely mad by the end of your 3 years but by then it won't matter anymore & you'll b looking forward 2 your next scoob!

Could have PAID for the options....PPP, 18's etc But the my company wanted the whole amount in THREE months ?????
So £400+ out of my wages each month was a no no. = DIVORCE+NO ACCESS TO KIDS.

Excellent in the dry, and surprisingly good in the wet, although you do have to be a little cautious in the damp.

I haven't found much else that's in their league on track with the exception of the other semi-slicks on the market from toyo, dunlop etc, and of course, full slicks- which I wouldn't use on a road car as I reckon it would fall to bits pdq

Overall they're pretty good- although the ride quality leaves a little to be desired as the sidewalls are very stiff, but you can't have it all unfortunately You coming up to Croft on the 29th?

Welcome aboard the good ship Scooby Nuthouse, sorry Net.

You'll need to wait a few thousand miles (~5K +) before she starts to loosen up properly and continue to improve over the next 5k..!

I was a little dissapointed after 1st service as I gradually increased revs over next few weeks until I was using the full rev range and it didn't feel any quicker than before service when I was running in @<4000rpm..!

HOWEVER...! Once I'd done 4.5k the car transformed (almost overnight..!) it was SO much quicker and continues to improve all the time, now at 7k.

So be patient and enjoy.

regards,
Jason

Short notice Anything in about 2 weeks would be good. Got a run out this week, meet next, but then I'm clear, I think.
