They always look like gimp masks

This pic would benefit from cloning out the TrUs, maybe replacing with some trees, and get rid of the light sat on the roof....



...oh, and the *** butt needs removing too

If I remember rightly, this is the car that gets trailered everywhere (except the odd occasion). Last time I saw it, it had just been trailered down to RCMS to have headers fitted and trailered back again so the headers didn't discolor. It really is in mint condition but pointless to just have a car for the sake of it looking pretty and not driving it to its potential.

Each to there own though and I cannot fault how it looks, apart from the fooking horrible bonnet bra thing. Mind you I'm sure that's there to keep it looking concourse.

Stop parking it up and looking it and get out and drive the bugger properly

Agree Each to their own, but it ain't some ultra-rare £5m 1960's Ferrari to be kept under a sheet in a climate controlled warehouse FFS. You could bestow this kind of obsessive compulsion on a Tata Nano with the same result, but a Scoob is for driving IMHO. For further justification that this kind of fetish is misguided, look at Muddy's for sale thread. No interest and a dropping price as any belief that it is worth significantly more than a higher spec newer car slowly becomes reality. Psychologically, most buyers will be subconsciously deterred because the car will never feel like theirs. Muddy's car will always be Muddy's, and so the pride of ownership and satisfaction from all the time and expense doesn't come with the purchase price, it stays with the original owner, which is dis-satisfying. We had the same thing in the WYIOC with MickWRX's car (known as Baiken to those whom remember it) which Matt, the new owner found it difficult to make it his own as everyone knew it as 'Micks car'. For me, Scoobs are about getting behind the wheel and feeling what they can do on a challenging road, not for sitting staring at, we have **** for that

Cheers, CB. Good PS, but no need really. Yeah, pic turned out good but nothing special, IMO. It was only a small meet and didn't really try and take magazine quality photos.
