A FEW PICS OF MY MY00 UK TURBO
Edited to add: For some reason, the resize on Photobucket has now take effect on these images!
Happier now they all fit. Went a bit too far on some though - my apologies! Could delete the ones that are too small and re-upload them but too much effort. Regards, Paul.
Sorry for the sizing
. Only discovered how to post pics yesterday after buying my first camera at the weekend and haven't figured it out properly. 
Went for a drive last night for some test shots.
Here are the results:

Yours looks well too. 
Was tempted to get one of those splitters to try and get the front end looking lower and not like a Scooby A4 Allroad Crosscountry!!
Just another thing on the ever increasing 'to do' list I'm afraid.
Had a great time chasing the sun round the hills near the CatandFiddle last night, trying to get some 'arty' shots etc. Some angles worked, others didn't!! But that's the great thing about digital cameras - just delete 'em!
The wheels are from Wheelbase in Oldham. Think they're still doing a deal on them! Had to get them on quickly, as the old ones were kerbed and stained by the previous owner - the old ones ruined the car's looks tbh. Don't want too many people running on them though. Seen a few pics on here but never an actual Scoob with them.

Thanks for the feedback! 
Glad you like them. Gonna try re-sizing the pics in Paint before uploading to see if that works. Tried doing it with the edit button on photobucket but it seemed a bit erratic! Probably just me being useless though.
Regards,
Paul

It's just a sticker left on from the previous owner. I did a quick search on t'internet and am I right in thinking they are a stereo/speaker company?
It's just got a cheap Sony head unit and basic speakers in at the moment. Too busy driving it to get my own set up from my last car set up!!
I prefer the soundtrack when I turn the tunes off, open the windows and give the loud pedal some beans!

They normally have an IQ quota lower than the number of windscreen wipers on my car . I'd never heard of Nakamichi until I bought the car

Thanks!
I see you're from Edinburgh.
I used to live in Balerno when I was young.
Some good roads around there I seem to remember - A70 (The Lang Whang - don't get any rude thoughts - that's what they call it!!) to Carnwath, the A702 from the ski centre at Hillend to Abington Services via Biggar and my absolute fave, the A701 from Penicuik to Moffat. Know that road like the back of my hand!
Are you a Tynecastle or Easter Road man btw?
Regards,
Paul

Sorry chief, you won't be seeing my car round Edinburgh for a while.
I live near Manchester airport!!
I'm getting sick of explaining my user name to people down here so it makes a VERY refreshing change to meet a fellow Jambo!!
Good result I see tonight!! (3-1)

We have the same exquisite taste in cars.
Liking those fog light covers.

Hi m8! Mica Red is the nuts. A couple of really clean examples. Only had mine a cuppla weeks. Bought with full MDSH (9 stamps), 58K, and owned by a 50 year old Dr. from new. Totally standard apart from a STI rear box what is my first mod after only a cuppla weeks!
Also a MY2000 on a W Plate!

You gonna de-tango the front end at all? I've never understood why they made the vents under the indicators orange! Looks so much better if you spray them. I've got a close up pic of the front end of mine. Can't upload it now as I'm at work and the boss will be back in a minute!
I'm planning/saving for de-cat and remap soon. With an STI panel filter it should be up to 270/280bhp and a healthy dose of extra torque. Can't wait!

What's the number of that road? I'll look it up.
Might be heading up to North Berwick in two weeks to see some relatives out there, but unfortunately I'll be taking my old man's diesel Laguna estate and not the Scoob. Still gonna give it some stick though.

Only downsides of the elastic band tyres are the increased road noise and that you have to keep an eye out for every single crack in the road - makes me cringe when I hit a hole so I avoid them as best I can!
