. . . so there I was on Jersey, on hols avec family (hire car so Scoobyless) 
Anyway what drives past me but a Jersey registered EVO6 ! ! !
For those who don't know Jersey has 40mph MAX limit (many roads have 15 / 20 limits also) and only about 3 straight pieces of road on the whole island and not one decent bend anywhere.
What can I say?

went there last year myself (booley bay) - and saw a uk spec MY 99 in the airport and an sti in st.helier within an hour of landing - also a ferrari dealer locally with a skyline R34 in the showroom - how utterly pointless.
fwiw - hire cars often have foam rubbing strips on them as the roads are so narrow in places + you will be hard pushed to use 1/2 tank of fuel in a week even if you drove all day and left the engine running at night !
running an evo or scooby on the island would make absolutely no sense at all.
'cars as status symbols' - I guess but it is rather silly - only saving grace would be buying a LHD car and taking it over to france on a regular basis - but most of the cars I saw were RHD -
btw - jersey is a despicable + tacky postage stamp sized island about as interesting as a damp day in cornwall - don't go there !

Paul,
I hope you enjoyed your hol's in Jersey. Thought i'd not seen you about. Can't say that I agree with you about the Evo 6. How about I leave mi Subaru at home one day and give you a spin in an Evo around Salford Quays just to make a change.
Regards p.g.

PWebb:
hmm, maybe, however it was a bloody sight sunnier than the UK for the last week or so (as my sunburnt nose will testify).
Oh & it's certainly less tacky than most islands in the med . . .
PaulGee:
you have an EVO as well?
OK, you're on mate but will have to wait as I'm offski at the weekend for a while (Oz, H.Kong, Bejing).
More time without m'Scoob (blub!)
later

I know what you mean I went to Guernsey last year, saw loads of Scoobys, couple of Sunny GTRs, two Ferrais and a Porsche GT3. The GT3 looked lovely and as it was LHD I'm SURE he took it to France to wrang the nuts off it. Yeah right!
What a waste. I also noticed that the 2nd hand cars seemed to be really cheap over there as well.

PS Guernsey was nice by the way. Very chilled and relaxed

Globe trotter? well maybe but:

2) have to give up own time to travel the morning after my mate gets married
3) <B><I>very, very </B></I>unsure about the "Dragon Airways" flight to Beijing (ulp!)
Paul

hehe.. you're supposed to was your hair with that, it's part of your travel kit.. if you ask, they'll give you a real drink !
Sheesh.. next you'll be eating your complimentary toothbrush..
(Although, given the airline.. you probably are better drinking the shampoo and eating the toothbrush)

Most of the real locals have, it's full of scousers, Irish, Poles, Latvians, Portuges and antipodeans. You rarely hear a real Jersey accent these days. A lot of signage is dual language, English and Portugues. Guernsey isn't quite as bad, the locals are in the majority, just.
as well.

AHH, I think I have it Watson!
As there are all sorts of exotic and expensive cars in Jersey, it's plausible that there's a Subaru quad or other such contraption, hence the interrogative statement.

looks like i'll have to explain it properly.
'mysteryinc' posted a thread 'watch sbaru quad!' (https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...baru-quad.html), obviously there were lots of light hearted SIAL type replies, one of the replies linked back to the oldest thread on scoobynet, which is this one, so in a fit of madness i posted an irrelevant comment to resurrect the oldest thread, as a joke. i kind of regret it now, i have had insults and warnings.
so i apologise to all the people who have become offended and confused. sorry.
