Default Anyone in the Telford area?

See plenty of scoobs around, just wondered if any locals are SM members?

Mines a 93 classic WRX, completely standard with the original wheels, but noticable from the reg J** WRX.

I often see a woman in a white classic wagon going up Red Hill when I'm on my way home, is that (are they) yours by any chance?

Hi Shrop and Dave

Shrop and I know each other and usually meet up with the Darlaston lot.

I am in Shrewsbury and wave to all Scoobies I see but some just ignore you.

Be good to meet up at some time, keep an eye on the Midlands forums.

You're not looking hard enough. It's just disappointing that they don't log on here and that we cannot get a good local crowd together.

MY99 saloon sonic blue, rebadged as SCOOBY.

Well, I'm on the committee of the Telford Auto Club and look after their website. There's a couple of us in the club with road-going scoobs and it would be great to get a few more. The club meets every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, at the Allscott Inn, next to the sugar beat factory if any of you are interested in seeing what it's all about and maybe getting involved in club level road or stage rallying, either marshalling, spectating or even competing.

By the way, the website is http://www.telfordautoclub.co.uk

I have a friend who is wanting to start club rallying in the future. i will bear this in mind when I speak to him.

When is the Bulldog rally? That comes to Shrewsbury and I wouldn't mind spectating on that one.

The Bulldog is Saturday 23rd of this month. I'll be out videoing the event if anyone wants to tag along they're welcome.

The club are also organising a novice road rally which takes place on the 4th December which is worth going to watch or marshal on. You can even compete in a standard car if you are a member, no comp licence required (but I think they're not allowing 4x4 turbo's this year - bummer).

Hi Redkop . Nev you handsome looking bugger and Dave.

1st Redkop Sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..

2nd Nev How you doing stranger ?. Hows the Boss ?? Wanna buy a Beetle. lol

3rd Daveocean . Marshalling on Bulldog mt8 as the per the Norm . Have Done quite a few this year. About 12 rallies me thinks. As your a Member of Telford Car club you know Dave Stocking. When you speak to him again tell him you have come across Bob Davies (me ) Ex D&P Transporte he will know who you mean. Would be Good to get a local group together. Bit far when the weathers Wet to go out to Darlaston ( no offence intended)

Cheers SG

Got your message 2day Shrop. Tried to call you back. Would like to come along on the bulldog. Can you get me more details on times and locations?

Hope to meet some of you there if we can arrange something.

I would have loved to tag along to the Bulldog, but afraid footie comes first
TBH I see a lot of Scoobs in Shrewsbury and have no idea if they are ScoobyNetters, but it would look very strange, me waving to one as I don't own a Scoob

Hello SG

daveocean - is the Telford Auto Club open for all? Might try and get to that sometime.

Hi Andy, not seen you in Shrewsbury mate, but did hear there was another rebadged "Scooby" in town. Will look out for ya, mine is sonic blue MY99 saloon turbo. I think we are getting enough interest for a local meet soon. Lets keep this going and who knows.

Why not Redkop. No liverpool fans tho (only joking). Be good to meet some interested local folks and have a chat about anything you like.

Why the interest in Scoobs if you don't have one? Just gotta ask.

Redkop, TAC is indeed open for all, see the TAC website for more info.

If anyone in the area is interested in rallying, the club's the best place to find out what's going on (besides on here and britishrally.com of course)

Not the interest in Scoobs tbh that got me here, I just liked ScoobyNet and knew a fair few people on it and it sorta progressed from there. I am a cossie person I'm afraid and have an Esc Cos

Hi Andy.

No lexus parts on my car mate, its pure Subaru and some. Not keen on the Lexus stuff, each to their own. I saw another Sonic blue in town today with the lexus option. Don't know who owns that one tho.

I reckon we need Scoobynet stickers with our usernames. Are these available yet?

Hey Redkop, would love to meet up and see that Cossie. What colour. I really used to like those when thay came out. Whats the reliability like tho?

Anybody else going to the Bulldog?

Ash Black and for 370bhp it's incredibly reliable, feel free to come round and see it - only thing that has gone on it was the gearbox, but that was expected, as I track it a fair bit and Esc Cos gearboxes are notorious for letting go once you go over 330bhp.
