I'll add that last month, since the doughnut/tea place wasn't open we chavved it up in the sea life center car park instead. Worth a look to see if the little place is open on the way past first and decide.

i still flash at the odd scoob (in the cmax) and do get some funny looks once bitten by the scooby bug you arent getting rid of it

It was my UK turbo classic, lead car on outside lane. wont bore you with all the details but over the 5 years i owned it, i had 1 or 2 issues with her!!! had some very good times in her and some very low times as well......

Sounds like you had more low times than you did good times mate Going by the other post about your car on here

I'm surprised with that experience, it didn't put you off from ever owning another scoob again

Now i can understand why it was known as the devils car

Maybe you should have had it blessed by the local vicar

Certainly was close to pushing it off a cliff on more than one occasion. But that is what ESC was, and hopefully what ESOC will get to be.......more than just a car club think I made as many meets in a non scoob as I did in a scoob lol

Some would say you even tried to do that.

Not the only one tho mate, my classic spent as much time broken than being used in the few years i had it. 3 gearboxes and an engine later when it was all sorted what did i do? buy a TVR.

No mate no rides in mine, would have been too scary.

Vampire Pudsey was fun though.
