How do you describe that ??? !!!!


That was just pure amazing ...

Fantastic that so many turned up, 54 scoobs and others were counted leaving B&Q.

Thanx to B&Q for supplying the lighting...

We even got a mention on the radio..


Needless to say, next year has to be bigger...!!!!!!!!!!


And as for the 'mini' convoy on the roundabout ..... we've got bigger cars, and there's more of us than you ..!!!


Thanks to everyone who's helped set this up ..... D.k 1 and TurboRay for keeping me informed when my pc was down, Griner and DJ Watts for doing their stuff in Blackpool, ............

and thanx to everyone who turned up and made it safe, fun night..


See you all again soon


Frank

Took a rather reluctant wife and kids and watched them turn into Scoobynutters before my very eyes.

I wanna 22B, and a big overdraft

Edited to say... Ritchie, many thanks for passing on my details to Ste with the black STi.

What are you on about, 17-21?, I'm 38, female, took the kids (and husband!!) it was a brilliant night. We came from Middlesbrough, your'e either a scooby lover or you ain't,,...... you obviously ain't.

ZIP IT!


Jees,Chill out love!!! I think he's on the wind up since he knows quite a few of the lads on this thread anyway and does like to stir things up a little bit as most of em will testify!!!!!

Edited to say I think you'll find he's a real Scooby lover.He spends more time washin his car than what he does workin!!!! (And I ain't jokin either)

Great night guys, missus is now well and truly hooked Problem is i've gotta find a Scoob for her that i can trade her Polo in for

Anyway's heres some pics that i had to take coz my lad said so...........narration by him also

Heres Dad's boring Scoob but he made me stand in front of it so he could get a picture


Some of us kids weren't even bothered with Scoobs


Then the real mean looking ones started to show up at Burtonwood Services.



........and heres some really nice back ends (dad said he wanted to get some pics of some really nice back ends but looked disappointed when i stood behind scoobs waiting for my picture to be took )



..............and then some nice front ends



I told Mum that Dad wanted to see some nice rear ends. Mum looked mad and told me she wanted a nice big black one so here it is


We got to B&Q but it was really raining so heres a couple of a few scoobs



My favorite car and its for sale



We finally got to the lights but then we where stuck behind some bloke called sonic. Loads of girls were screaming with shock when they saw him, so i told him to put a mask on so as not to frighten them If you look carefully, you can see his head sticking out of the drivers side window

Thumbs up

Wicked night The noise was amazing, there was pops and bangs all the way somebody’s car sounded like a machinegun. and the smell think it was mostly clutches Blackpool didn’t know what was going on………. especially when we cut through that housing estate

Great night everyone

Yes a totally awesome night and great finish to the season.
Thanks to everyone that came down to Blackpool, for a while it made Blackpool the place to be!!
And cheers Frank for putting plenty of smiles on peoples faces with organising the meet.
Will keep in touch with ya and help you out again with the organising in Blackpool. Shame we gotta wait so long though...
Nice to see the locals again (AJ, Griner, Milf and the rest of you) and thanks again to everyone for the support in coming down.
Yes there was plenty of clutch smells on the prom and popping all over the place.
There were also loads of horns going crazy on the prom, it was mad! Shame my horn wasn't working though...

Ok here are quite a few pics from the night, think i was making up for the last time as i did not have a camera to take any shots then...

To start, a photo of my silver Scooby at the meet on B&Q and some more..








After the route down to Norbreck we all ligned up on the prom here and caused quite a jam for other motorist...

And here's the view from the other side with my passenger Garnz looking like he's trying to count em all in.
Check out that convoy, there all SCOOBY'S!!

The convoy starts up, engines are hot and off we roll...

At this point in the lights we are all beeping our horns (except me as mines broke) and popping the exhausts to full effect...

Further up the prom and the Scooby's come to a standstill and bring the lights to a halt with AJ in front...


Dont know who this was behind me in the silver Scooby but the pop from the exhaust earlier in the convoy was a real chiller to say the least...

Local Gornalls garage car was there to make sure we did not break down...

My passenger Garnz was clearly impressed with this all to say the least...

A quick turn around for a quick run back through the lights to make sure we were noticed then...


And again Gornalls car was here to help out with the technical support!!

A final stop off at Mc Donald's for a munch to eat for all. I had 20 Nuggets, 4 dips and a Shake... lol
And those headlights look mean...

Frank?

And finally the great Pro drive sponser car was trying out the new model "Mc Pro Drive"


So to sum up, better than last, 53 Subaru's & others and a munch!!
What more could you ask for? A horn for me that works maybe!!

"Very interesting" were the words of my girlfriend who missed the first blackpool meet, even though i spent a while trying to explain what was so special about the 22B that was in front of us. "it just is, okay" was my final answer.

Glad i managed to lead u all down to the norbreck okay though the idea to all do three point turns in the middle of the prom was all Franks, quite a sight, i think the local houses were all wonderin what was happenin on their quiet stretch of promenade!

Right, think i'll go and spend a fortune on mods now so i'm ready for the next get together. These meets have a habbit of making me dissatisfied with my scoob!

Morf,i'm not suprised the woman you took didnt like it,meeting up at the pub is one thing but driving in convoy upto and through the lights is highly embaressing.
Now before you all flame me i know you choose to go and i dont but
even if i passed you lot by mistake i would have my head in the glovebox hiding from the shame of it.

It is a tad sad at 17-21 maybe but lets be honest how old are most of you.

LOL Zippy

I have to say Ian, i took the kids (lost one on the way). My lad has never seen the lights and he said if it wasn't for the Scoobs it would of been cr@p.

I was extremely surprised that the missus really enjoyed it and said that there was a great bunch of peeps there. I enjoyed meself aswell...........but i know what you are saying

BTW is Thursday okay for the hoses
