Very ambiguous wording on the who are we?

Who are we?

There are a number of commercial and legal elements that need to be finalised. Please check back here, and we will make an announcement very soon.

If this means that Pete has a new venture in the same field then I, for one, am very pleased for him. Apart from his knowledge and enthusiasm this guy i one of the nicest and most helpful around! He deserves spadefuls of good luck.

I hope we can all support him if this is his new direction.

Absolutely no idea, but looks very much to me like someone has bought up his interests and is going to run with the name.

ScoobySport Exhaust System

We were, in a strange way, disappointed to find that the current ScoobySport exhaust system is already a superbly designed and engineered product. There are some very clever design elements which aid the performance and of course the distinctive sound of the ScoobySport system.

We intend to make this available in it's current form as we would be proud to put our name and reputation to it.
Just wonder who it is.

Whoever it is, as long as it makes the process of getting a decat car in Essex through the MOT a straightforward one, then i'm all for it!!

It IS decatted Bp!!! Have you driven one that's decatted? Definite increase in power and noticably faster pick-up. Just makes MOT time a bit of a pain and it doesn't ease my conscience with regards the environment....

The quality of Scoobysport's products has raely been questioned. The only area in which the company has failed is in the customer service side.

I think this is a great pity as Pete is a top bloke. I remember chatting to him at a Dono track day where he promised me a ride in his car. Later in the day he went out of his way to find me again and keep his promise.

I'm disappointed that the new webside doesn't hilight customer service as the primary direction in which to restore the name of Scoobysport.

I'm behind on the times......what happened to Scoobysport/Pete.

Pete C is one of a small handful of people that made my subaru ownership an absolute hoot.

Scoobysport charged my credit card for an exhaust before the goods were dispatched. Then ceased trading. I have not received the exhaust

Will the new Scoobysport supply my exhaust? Thought not.

IMO the name is tainted.

Have you spoken to your CC company then Speedking? If the purchase was over £100, you have an equal claim against the CC company.

Hi All

This is true. I'm one of the investors in this new venture which has been on the boil for the last couple of months (although the scoobysport name element is obviously only a recent thing).

They will be announcing the team within the next few days, and I'll give more information as and when I can.

All the best

Simon

Will the incestuous relationship between Scoobynet and Scoobysport scare of current and potential advertisers who help keep SN free.

Hi All

I'm out of the country currently, so won't be able to respond quickly.

I've sent an email to the main people involved to see what kind of information I can give out at this stage, and will post as soon as I can.

Please feel free to take a look at the website and post any questions you have in this thread, and I'll try to answer them short bursts when I can get online.

Pumpkin

ScoobyNet and ScoobySport are completely seperate ventures. I do understand that this element will be difficult to handle, so we'll just have to work hard at it.

All the best

Simon
