Who holds the site records for longest owned Scooby?
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.

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.....????
