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

Heres Dad's boring Scoob but he made me stand in front of it so he could get a picture :(
https://photobucket.com/albums/1003/Buzzer/3991b93b.jpg

Some of us kids weren't even bothered with Scoobs
https://photobucket.com/albums/1003/Buzzer/22bf87be.jpg

Then the real mean looking ones started to show up at Burtonwood Services.
https://photobucket.com/albums/1003/Buzzer/52509823.jpg
https://photobucket.com/albums/1003/Buzzer/e11989a9.jpg

........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 :confused: )
https://photobucket.com/albums/1003/Buzzer/1514597b.jpg

https://photobucket.com/albums/1003/Buzzer/5b2d12bb.jpg

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 :eek: so here it is
https://photobucket.com/albums/1003/Buzzer/2293a35e.jpg

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

https://photobucket.com/albums/1003/Buzzer/b01443ae.jpg

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 :eek:

TEXAS PETE 03 November 2003 10:50 AM

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

Great night everyone :) :)

GAZZAS WRX 03 November 2003 12:01 PM

wow what a night i missed the first but well glad i didnt miss that one...had a moment when i thought the clutch was going to give up sorry to the people behind me who it gassed out .. on the week concord did its last flight i think we all used more fuel..hope everyone got home safe and see ya all next time we all meet hope its soon......... top night

DJ WATTS 03 November 2003 12:51 PM

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!! :D
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. :D
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... :D

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

http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/7.jpg
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/8.jpg
After the route down to Norbreck we all ligned up on the prom here and caused quite a jam for other motorist... :D
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/9.jpg
And here's the view from the other side with my passenger Garnz looking like he's trying to count em all in. :D
Check out that convoy, there all SCOOBY'S!! :D
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/10.jpg
The convoy starts up, engines are hot and off we roll... :D
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/11.jpg
At this point in the lights we are all beeping our horns (except me as mines broke) and popping the exhausts to full effect... :D
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/12.jpg
Further up the prom and the Scooby's come to a standstill and bring the lights to a halt with AJ in front... :D
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/13.jpg
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/14.jpg
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... :D
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/15.jpg
Local Gornalls garage car was there to make sure we did not break down... :D
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/16.jpg
My passenger Garnz was clearly impressed with this all to say the least... :D
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/17.jpg
A quick turn around for a quick run back through the lights to make sure we were noticed then... :D
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/18.jpg
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/19.jpg
And again Gornalls car was here to help out with the technical support!! :D
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/20.jpg
A final stop off at Mc Donald's for a munch to eat for all. I had 20 Nuggets, 4 dips and a Shake... :D lol
And those headlights look mean... :)
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/21.jpg
Frank?
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/22.jpg
And finally the great Pro drive sponser car was trying out the new model "Mc Pro Drive"
http://www.dj-watts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/23.jpg

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!! :D

parkysaxo 03 November 2003 01:12 PM

TonyNesta 03 November 2003 02:14 PM

ecotech 03 November 2003 03:01 PM

what a fantastic night we really enjoyed ourselves. i'll own up too owning the silver scoob that gave u that chiller of a pop dj watts it was loud.

richie_wales 03 November 2003 04:31 PM


once again it was an excellent spin to blackpool!!!!
franks little co-driver (shannon) counted 53 scoobys, 2 evos, an RS Focus and a saxo, so it turned out to be quite a gathering.
.......great photos, scary mask, loved the 22B, our car needs a good wash! any volunteers?
and my final word is neeeeeeeeeeeeons!!!!!!!!!!!!

richie + rob

roll on next year

Griner 03 November 2003 05:10 PM

"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,:D 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!:cool:

Andy S. 03 November 2003 07:59 PM

I could hardly walk this morning due to the amount of times the clutch was up and down. LOL

Jen_M 04 November 2003 07:19 AM

Thanks for organising REDWRX - brill night.

M0rf 04 November 2003 10:24 AM

u all came back saying how your girlfriend/wife turned into scoobynutters, unfortunatly the girl i had with me didnt :(. maybe i need to stick an add in the wanted section for a scoobychick :D

Buzzer 04 November 2003 10:54 AM

MOrf

She did seem a little cold at Maccy Dee's mate :(

M0rf 04 November 2003 11:04 AM

o well she wont get cold again :/

ZIPPY 04 November 2003 12:47 PM

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.

Buzzer 04 November 2003 01:03 PM

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 ;)
