Found out from my boss. He's got P1 (b@st@rd! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif - don't mean it). So thanks Rich.

Oh and thanks to Simon de B as well - I have to log in every day now to see what's being said! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

I have been into Scoobs for about 6 years now and a friend (Dales on here) bought one last year, and then told me about the BBS.

As I love cars and Scoobs I thought I would have a look. Haven't looked back since as they say http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Was searching for Impreza stuff and came across the the IWOC and joined its mailing list. Also found the v.useful SIDC faq. There was so much talk of Scoobynet I thought I'd better come over and have a look. I have been here in various guises ever since! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Easytrack airfield day last summer - people talking about it - searched for it on the net and found a link somewhere - not sure where.

XRS 18 May 2001 06:02 AM

I asked on the RSOC bbs and a certain Mr Rainbird was kind enough to point me in this direction.

EvilBevel 18 May 2001 07:32 AM

Found this place in May 99. Was searching for info about the Impreza - ready to buy one -, got pretty confused with

RichS 18 May 2001 08:14 AM

I found this BBS by way of a link from Lee's web site:

Robertio 18 May 2001 08:19 AM

You mean there were times before this bbs? what did I used to do with my days? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

I think it was a link from the SIDC site when I was looking into buying a Scooby.

Steve vRS 18 May 2001 09:03 AM

Twas a link from the Easytrack web site last year. I gate-crashed the Scoobynet Airfield day in my Puma as I fancied buying a Scoob. One year on and It's on order and the Puma's gone. God I'm bored driving a Punto round at the momment!

Mark Underwood 18 May 2001 09:15 AM

Found it or rather got directed this way by Mossman (ala Jon Moss) way back when in May/June 1999. Been here ever since and met many new friends.

JohnS 18 May 2001 09:22 AM

I "discovered" the UBB system on another web-site, and recommended to Phil (SIDC webmaster at the time) that it could be a useful addition to the website. Next day I got an e-mail saying that the software had been purchased, installed, and would be available later that night, and did some beta testing before it was generally known to the public. I think I was the third "member" to sign up, after webmaster, and one other person.

It somehow doesn't seem that long ago!

JayDee 18 May 2001 09:30 AM

When I ordered my Impreza, I thought it might be nice to know all about it, so I searched (Google) for Subaru Impreza. One site that came up was the SIDC, which had a link to this bbs.

Mad Max 18 May 2001 10:06 AM

Tom Evans 18 May 2001 12:04 PM

Little while after old man got the Scoob, I had a long look at the SIDC site and found it under the links section.

Been here since the beginning (well actually a little before http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif) I know Phil the previous keeper of the Scoobynet http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif thats how i got to use and hear about it !

WREXY 19 May 2001 01:02 AM

Hi All,
Very interesting, the different ways we found this site. I am glad I found it. I look forward to jumping on here, reading all the different posts. One of the main things I get out of the bbs is, I learn, from peoples' knowledge and experience. I also like to contribute when I can and do so when I think I can help. I also ask questions obviously. There is also a bit of humor about too. It has happy topics and sometimes sad. Some cause a bit of friction. All in all a cool bunch of people to exchange thoughts with, you are. TOP BBS this as the main thing we are here for is our Scooby Dooby Doo's. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Regards,
WREXY.

Originally this was the SIDC BBS, Phil Dawes became my lodger whilst doing some computer programming at some secret base in Herfordshire http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif Phil then turned it into Scoobynet 1 as at the time Dick Grimes the famous ex police driver SIDC committee member was anti internet! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

Phil then closed it down I started up

Gerg2 19 May 2001 06:25 AM

I stumbled upon it doing a web search looking for information about Scoobs (before I bought mine)....that was a fair while ago. I lurked on Scoobynet for months, sucking it dry for info then bought my car http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Then I became a member to try to put as much back in as I got out of Scoobynet which I think I have been doing http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

PS Billbill, Robertio, Blow Dog, Sal, Rebecca, Ady, Richard, Si, Gramps, Longun, ChrisL, BOB.T...the list goes on and on...no need for you guys to comment on my previous paragraph http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

EvilBevel 19 May 2001 08:15 AM

>>Then I became a member to try to put as much back in as I got out of Scoobynet

Since I'm not on the "excluded" list http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif I think this had to be the most disguised way to tell us there was/is nothing but cr*p on Scoobynet LOL http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
