Had a modded Punto GT. G/F's uncle was selling the Scoob and offering 0% finance;) So I got it as he had owned it from new and it had very low mileage:)

bignick 02 October 2004 01:56 AM

As my name suggests, a VW Corrado :rolleyes: for nine years :eek: and I've still got it :cuckoo:

Drove a Scooby in anger on a track at Rallydrive with the G/F for her birthday treat. Took over 6 years of job swapping, house buying and sheer determination but I got one in the end. Mightn't have it long though, if I can't meet the payments on the new house :cry:

New To Scoob 02 October 2004 02:52 AM

Had a nice low mileage '97 318iS coupe beemer, but it seemed too slow after my moded 309 and I'd always fancied a Scoob, when they changed from Bug to Blob eye the Mrs prefered the look also, plus the salesman at my local Mitsi dealer was an @r5e :razz:

Big-G 02 October 2004 09:18 AM

I had a Mitsubishi Delica 2800 4 Wheel Drive Turbo Diesel Intercooler Space Gear Super Exceed. Had to get rid of it because the name was too long and people would fall asleep whilst waiting for me to finish telling them what it was.
It was a monster, 7 feet tall and on big wheels, turned as many heads as a Scoob!!

merc 190E cosworth 2.5. actually not a bad car, quick, handled ok but for my first rear wheel drive car at 21 it was a bit of a handfull for the first few weeks:D

bought series mcrae, then current scoob.

SUBTYPER 02 October 2004 03:04 PM

I originally had a 2.5V6 Ghia Mondeo Modified to just over 300bhp and a fair bit of trque to match LOL then decided that going round corners was cool too and decided on a 1995 M Reg Impreza WRX. Then sold that to my mate who loves it to bits aand I bought a Type R. Funny thing is I still love the WRX better than the Type R LOL

scoobyboy1 02 October 2004 03:18 PM

Drove round in my dads jeep grand cherokee, cause couldnt afford my own car and insurance, then when i got a bit of money together at 19 i bought a 106 gti had my fun with that then sold that and bought a MY00. :)

RB5_245 02 October 2004 03:33 PM

Mr2 turbo. To be honest I didn't even like scoobs, but had to test drive one just to see what the hype was about, and bought one it just had to be the rb5 though.

The first car I purchased by myself was a 1 year old scoob.

Saw one outside dealers once :jawdrop: and wow. Then saw one at 98/99 motorshow and I thought to myself "God how I would love to own that car"...a couple of years later after mucho hard work I found myself in the position where I could buy a sub £50k car. I had a look around and there was no competition.....it could only be the scoob as my reliable daily driver. The first on I went to see was a lovely example. Its caring owner took me for a drive and I was gobsmacked. I handed the cash over without even sitting in the drivers seat.

Been robbed blind by insurance premiums (Yr1 £3500, yr2 £2400 etc), lined the pockets of Shell, been held up at gunpoint....but never looked back.

My loyal companion never fails to make me smile. :D
