Helloooooo

I am in a little weee town called Cheadle in Stoke-on-Trent and a mate of mine has just bought a Scooby and I am very impressed with it. I am registering on his behalf really for technical support.

Just thought I'd say hello and wonder how many people here are in my area. I will be keeping an eye for you now.

There's a guy not far from me who has a dumping valve on his tractor, we are a wierd folk alright. LOTS of Nova's around but I'm not much of a fan. But I do drive a Sierra I'm afraid.

Hmmm this board needs a little something to make it feel more impreza like.... ah ha!

LMAO Well this is in Caverswall, apparently all the other young tractor drivers want dumping valves too but he's keeping schtum about how he's acheived it on his.

We do however have lots of Scoobies in Cheadle most of which seem to have been modified in one way or another aswell. We even have an RB of some calibre.

Ye gads, another Chris (a W) at that!

Hang round till the things get warmer and we'll kick start the evening meets again. Or there's the New Year meal currently being planned (looks to be Lichfield way).

Chris.

Thumbs up

Sounds good thanks.

I actually have a company pub in Darlaston that might be of use if anybody needs to organise any events.

Denzil Dog "i have to work in stoke but then i get to go home to where the normal people are" But you have put you are from mersey side !

MWF - Hi, what scooby ya mate got ? probably seen it around, got a few mates in cheadle and play squash there too. Always see a silver scoob at the leisure centre, and the RB belongs to Rogers, bBrock and Barker right ? - i take me rabbit there (goober knows what i mean ! he ain't no ordinary rabbit either !)

Company pub ? would that be the darlaston inn ? we have meets there but i don't like it cause the car park has to many pot holes for dougnuts !

Hey Jonto, it's not me that's got a Scooby mate it's a mate of mine. Are you fimiliar with the three brother in Cheadle who all have Scoobies, A white one, a silver on and a black one? Well my mate has bought the black WRX - it's on 17's, custom leather interior, loud exhaust etc...

Yeah I take my cat to the same vets but I think he has got rid of the RB now.

Who do you know in Cheadle then? I might know you/your car/of you.

Oh and the pub is the 'Frying Pan' in Darlaston, nice big car park, meals etc... I am sure I could arrange a good deal for a Scooby meet there.

I know the stoddards in cheadle, but i don't know the three brothers with the scoobs, although i have probably seen them about.

Red mud flaps by any chance ? or a reg plate ending in WRX ?

The white scooby with the red mud flaps is owned by a guy working at JCB. The ones I know are:

Black WRX Sti on 17's - My mate Ryan (was Ad Grocott's)
White WRX Sti, roll cage, roller bearing turbo - Simon Grocott
Silver WRX, gold wheels, evo style wing - Justin Grocott
Silver (not sure of spec) gold mulispoke wheels - Burger
Blue Wagon, lowered with alloys - Burger

There used to a be a lovely blue one with twin exhausts, a red one about which was really loud, there is now another red one I see about which is quite loud and a girl who thrashes a grey one about everywhere.

MWF,
You will know when you see Jonto, He's the one with his wheels going round extremely fast but only moving a few yards, Can also be identified by black rubber marks on the Tarmac !

You may see me about occasionally but probably in the focus with the SIDC sticker, jugding by the number of Foci about it would be a good spot though .

If you haven't seen the grey/silver one about recently then that may have been me. LOL

I used to have a silver MY94 WRX and drove enthusiastically everywhere.

Look out for a 22B, that may be me.

There was a girl driving around my area in a grey/silver scooby with grey wheels, she's got all the local car lads talking. Nails her car everywhere.

Saw a few Scoobies up Festival Park way last night, quite a few on Sainbury's car park and a silver one nailing around Festival Park itself.

Brave man to take any car onto the fezzy park in the hours of darkness. Happen to be down there one night and left without stopping . I didnt realize it became one way after 7pm . There was some seriously dodgy driving going on overtaking and speeding with people crossing the road. Not good and not clever IMHO.

I don't tend to go down myself, went down last night out of morbid curiosity. Lots of kids about messing around, very few decent cars.
