Yeah, I only check in on odd occasions these days. The site was great 10-15 years ago but the last few years it's dropped off. Many of the characters are missing, come on where is PSL??? To top it off I've lost my Orange membership - and with that my ability to list in the for sale section too I expect. Shame as I'm probably going to move away from Scooby membership and would have listed it. Still time will tell.

Ah PSL... I miss him, F1, Maz, Jamo, Big sinky and loads of others that had something to say and really contributed to the site by posting interesting threads or just bollocks for a laugh... even miss some of the mods... dare I say it kieren, Lisa, etc... certainly miss the Tuners and mappers, few characters like Mr Jefrey.

Part of why I posted the thread was just to see if they're alive and well.

As you say there are some memorable names there, not always for the right reasons maybe, but they made a difference to this site with their contributions.

Sold my Impreza 3 years ago, have no intention of getting another Subaru unless they change the new STi and drop the 2.5, until then i cant see myself in another one anytime soon!!

Been using my scoobyboy1 account since 2004 but was under the username johnny555 before that and signed up in 2003 when I bought my first Impreza turbo 2000!!!

If it was cheap enough or if I could run it as a business I would. I contacted scoobynet but no response yet.

Not owned a Scoob for 7 years now.

I only found out about SN 3 years after buying my 98 WRX when I went into ScoobySport for a back box, air filter and some multi spoke alloys. They sat me in front of the PC in the waiting room and showed me SN, after 3 hours of hammering their PS1. Happy days

Loved that back box

I did 180,000 in that WRX, almost bomb proof.

I still come in here daily, mainly sport, some real characters in here who are long gone. Redkop, Chip, Lesley, Kippax, P1ssy and loads more

That's got to be the best un-masking idea I've ever heard, Lisa F1 fans alter ego or vice versa....

I think they'd both find that quite funny... not so sure mickywrx would though.

480-odd of James Watt's finest in an already light (and stripped out, too?) Classic, has got to be pretty intense, I'm guessing!

I joined back in 2000, soon after getting my 1993 WRX.
Always been more of a lurker, but not really been on this site much for a good five or six years - caught this thread purely by chance!
My Scoob failed its MoT 3 years ago and now waits major bodywork repairs before it gets back on the road.... It's only covered around 250,000 miles, so must have some life left in it!

Mention of PSL has made me smile!

I'm still kicking around after 17 years
I'm probably on the top 3/4 on the uk that's had the same impreza for years


Greenwagon is going through a restoration job although photo bucket has lost me years of photos For my project thread

The wrxd went 4 years ago in favour of the Nismo after its engine needed replaced which put me off another Subaru


With no dedicated Subaru clubs left in the north the B-SPOC club is going from strength to strength with a variety of cars in the club and the club scene is strong for us

Log on once a week but it's quite as Facebook as finished off all the forums woth easy to use photos

The only thing I miss about matteeboy is not being able to read "his exploits" on the webclown blog!!! That was funny.

So come on guys and gals, let's see how many of you are still alive and can't resist the odd peek from time to time, don't be shy.
I still pop in from time to time. Been kicking around here since 1999 (in a previous life)
