I find the General and drivetrain a little light and Projects unbearably heavy going - it would be great if we could start a new heading - eg Scoobynet Automotive Support SAS where the experinced members could 'lecture' on current development in a semi technical manner - also discuss and assess service offered by various specialists together with a links directory with a view to offering idiots guide to Scooby fettling.................
