I sold mine a while back, so not me

What sort of length of service do we have here?

Well I've driven Scoobies uninterrupted since 5th May 1998, although in that time I've owned 5 different ones.

Fatboy still has the P1 he purchased new, which would have to be from 2000, though sure he's not been on SN for a long time.

I still have the first one I bought, a GC8 classic which I bought new from a dealer back in June 2000 and it is still going strong.

Any photos of these cars, then and now? be great to see how they looked when you bought them and what if anything has changed over the years.

I still have to stop myself waving at Scoobies, and it's been a good 7 years since I owned my last Wagon.

My WRX was delivered in July 2003, and it's still in the garage. 46500 miles on the clock, but I've hardly driven it for the last 7 years due to kids (about 300 miles total...)

So if you have it for another 20 years and dont get to 100K you'll keep it on the original cambelt.....????

Seriously chap, use your head.
