Only owned the scooby a couple of weeks, but have finally had the chance to give it a bit of a clean and take some photos.

Lots of plans ahead, mainly tweeks to prepare it better for track use, but what do you all think so far?

I'm not a big fan of those scoops on bugs, I think it spoils the nice rounded lines. Seats are awesome, have a set myself. Nice looking bug

Do you jump on the site just off the the A1 south of Wittering?

Used to jump at Weston-on-the-Green but haven't done it for about 15 years

Again not a lover of the scoop but it doesnt look that out of place on yours.

Nice bug mate. Whats the engine spec?

Personally, I love the big scoop. Each to their own I guess

Exactly, not my cup of tea, but it's your so as long as you are happy. Great spec too.

I was gliding out of Wittering until I moved south in late 2007

Why not jump again? How many jumps did you get up to?

Nice car mate. Great spec too!

I did a short course and got 13 jumps in with a VGATW on dummy pulls. I would go back tomorrow if I had the time. I've also flown powered aircraft and done some aero instruction in gliders, but I need to stop spending on the car to afford all these other hobbies. Hopefully I'll get the next job I want and does some HALO stuff for work

Ooops, forgot to mention, carbon fiber mirrors and morettes, but you can see those!

Jon, are you military? You can get skydiving courses dirt cheap and substationally discounted jumps at military DZ's

Another double post! Whats going on?!?!

Yes mate, that's why I trained at Weston. Biggest issue is time - between now and the end of June I'm in country for about 3 weeks and one of them I'll be doing some military camping

Still, with a wife and 2 kids as additional hobbies cash is limited

I will get back into gliding and jumping as well as learn to fly a helicopter when I finish the current job
