BONKERS!!!!! Looks good fun.

Tony G said some people take along radios to talk during tours.

Is that right?

Horico

yeah, they do...i didn't have one on the last one but the rest in my group did...adds to the fun

make sure ure brakes are up for it tho lol...if you watch the last video, you'll see what i mean

wrxcity

yeah what did happen with ur brake's m8?? over heat or summit??

ricardo_wrx

no brakes.......No Brakes............NO BRAKES.........................


...........NO BRAKES!!!!!!

and i said bonkers before i saw that video! Lol I have some DS2500's , so i hope they are upto it.

I bever been on a tour before. Fast arnt they???

Horico

Fast?

Depends on the group really...you drive at your own pace and stick to it. No point being a hero and crashing...We were going fast enough but there was still regard for safety..

I found it was a great way to really get used to the car and by the end of the day was throwing it around with a little more confidence..

As for my brakes...I'm not sure to this day. I got a slightly spongy pedal feel and at that last bit I was pressing as hard as I could and I was only just slowing down.

I'd only had the pads in a while so I went back to my garage and they replaced them foc....but not had chance to test them yet.

It felt like the pads had glazed over but I've got grooved discs so that should stop that from happening. I really don't rate the brakes on mine tho and the next mod is gonna be some bigger ones i think or at least to get them fully sorted...

RON

Just watched both vids.....

Brakes...Mmmm, long downhill stretch, lots of 'easing' off... and light braking = lots of heat build up, they simply faded mate...... not a pleasant experience though!

Horico

to be fair tho...i did feel the brakes working poorly a few miles back....it felt like it was down to repeated heavy braking....

Shardlow

Next ones April 30th!! come on!!

ricardo_wrx

yam got a scooby

Good vids mate brings back a few memories ... Especially that bump on the second vid. I nearly put my head through the roof

ricardo_wrx

how many turned up last year? and what was the total milage? just as a rough guess

mickjg

nice vids mate brings back some great memorys.
some of the best drives i have been on in the scooby.
and this is comming from the person who has had damage to his scooby in 2 out ou 4 tours.
scooby less now but it did go to a very good home.

What a great advert for a tour newbie! Lol. How did you do that?

Horico

if youestimate at about a tank full, you'll not go far wrong....i didn't use more than a tank last time.....spirited driving is always gonna make it a little worse on the old mpg....

mickjg

the 1st 1 was just driving to close to a good mate in his scooby and i hit him up the rear more damage to mine than to his. also ABS didnt help at all. no cost to me or the other driver like i said a very good mate.

2nd 1 was just bad luck and very silly driving from the other driver. if you go throw the very nice long tunnel it happened at the end of that i was parked up talking to other scooby drivers when a scooby came out the tunnel to fast no time to stop and bang i had to jump in the air out of the way before he hit my legs and the car.

1 hour before my very good mate had just worte scooby off with a very bad crash luckly no one was hurt.

but i will still say it is a very good day out you all have a map so you can drive at your own speed.
