NO MORE SCOOBY FUN
 
I hate to start another thread on the subject but here goes anyway.
I sold my beloved MY97 turbo last september with the intention of replacing it this spring with a newer scooby.
HOWEVER i can no longer justify the cost of running one of these incredible cars any more, because my daily comute is a 46 mile round trip it meant running an old escort as well as my scooby,for the daily grind to work.
What am i replacing it with i hear you ask ??????
Well it is going to be a.....DIESEL......i'm afraid.
It is a no brainer really:-......
VW BORA 1.9 TDI 115 BHP
210LB/FT TOURQUE
50MPG+
6 SPEED GEARBOX
CHEAP INSURANCE
ROAD TAX OF £115 PER YEAR
10K MILES FOR MINOR SERVICE
20K MILES FOR MAJOR SERVICE

Sorry guys i will always love scoobys and i will shed a tear when ever I hear that wonderful scooby throb.

I will still use scooby net because it is absolutely brilliant....

BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL..

Sorry to hear that :(

If it's any consolation, you're far from being the only one to ever sell up and get a diesel. I commute on average four days a week in a scruffy old Primera for much the same reason.

Somehow I've still managed to do about 4500 miles in the scooby vs 2000 in the Nissan since I bought them, though :D
