Due to a Minor Financial problem, i have had to put off my scoob buying for a while.. but It was suggested this morning that I share it with my Mum

But .. to be fair she's never bashed anyting in over 30 years of driving I've never worried about lending her the car in the past.

I've been thinking about this all day and have got to say.. it really does make sense in strange sort of way . I won't leave it at work , so use our Wonderful public transport system, and she would only need it during the day, and for going to work (part time)

Has anyone else ever been in this situation?

I'm thinking a 60/40 split in the costs (So if it ever comes to it, it's mostly mine )

One thing I'd want to consider is vulnerability of your mum when she is driving.

Scoob's are very desirable cars for car thieving scum, and with a women driver I think the car will be more of a target. But at the end of the day if they want to take the car, they'll take it regardless of whether the driver was your mum or The Pope!

Apart from that factor seems an ideal way of getting one.

Spose so, but she wouldn't be driving in the dark, and I will have top security, and anti hijack, as i've had a Car Jacked off me before

 

You sound covered.

Go get a good un

Darren

 

I hope you've warned her to expect other scooby owners to flash at her and the local max power lot to race her at every possible opportunity

Go for it!!

 

Still undecided at the mo, she's used to the attention driving my old Green Golf Beastie

Andy

 

You could always share with me mate

Although, I have no money either so we wont get very far

 

hmmm, I can't quite afford one either...bugger, mi mum doesn't drive

before you start..there is no way on god's earth I would share a scoob ( or any car for that matter) with mi dad! he has absolutely no idea about cars at all

Bob

 

Ask Scoobychick, she's shared one quite successfully with her dad (but he might give you a different story ) - until Chris L came along

 

My dad takes the pish out of scoobs, calls em farmers cars and asks if you can sheep in the back some people..

 

I wouldn't even consider sharing it with my Dad either


Still trying to come to some aggreement with her about the sums of cash involved , and that she should pay for half the Mods

 

I'll share with you....I'll use it for the odd trackday....you can have it the rest of the time

 

Sounds Fair

Whilst you're on the track, i'll have yours
