. . . so there I was on Jersey, on hols avec family (hire car so Scoobyless) http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif
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? http://geocities.com/r337m0nk3y/net/tongue.gif |
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 . . . http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif 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 Paul http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/cool.gif |
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. Mark PS Guernsey was nice by the way. Very chilled and relaxed |
Paul,
ya bloody globe trotter! See you when you get back. Lucky sod. |
Paul
Globe trotter? well maybe but: 1) don't get to drive m'Scoob (even my wife asked me on the flight back yesterday if I'd missed my Scooby . . very understanding - top girl eh?) 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 ps mind you drinking all that free shampoo on the plane can be a right <B><I>pain</B></I> http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif [This message has been edited by Paul Frank (edited 06-06-2000).] |

> ps mind you drinking all that free shampoo > on the plane can be a right pain 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 ! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/tongue.gif Sheesh.. next you'll be eating your complimentary toothbrush.. (Although, given the airline.. you probably are better drinking the shampoo and eating the toothbrush) |
David
GREAT! SO can I eat the free socks as well? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif Paul (actually thankfully it's not a BA flight where the socks are far more edible than the food) |
You think thats bad, Guernsey is even smaller and the amount of Ferraris, Scoobys and Evos I have seen there is amazing !
|
|
There is someone on here who had a 10s Scoob on Jersey and now has a 10s Skyline.
Hmmmm! |
Last time i was in Jersey there was a scoob dealership as well as ferrrari bmw and mercedes. plenty of money on the island so you are bound to get certain exotica about

The forum must be getting that bad now if people need to drag threads up from nearly 10 years ago to have a say :D:D
|
Driving scoobs in that place is no different from 200mph super cars being driven on our roads, surely?

Hola Mr RJ |
What's wrong with having a Scooby in a place like Guernsey?????
<---- <---- <---- <---- PS, yes Jersey IS rubbish, Guernsey is MUCH better |
Correct me if I am wrong, but jersey isn't a penal colony and the residents are allowed to leave ?

Try Sark!
only one car on the whole island!!! nice and peaceful though :) Mart |
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. |

Blimey, that was a bit esoteric! :freak3::D:D:D:D
I bet you wish you hadn't bothered. At least it gave me an excuse to slag of Jersey, which is always appreciated. |
