Scooby Days are Numbered
 

Just found out i'm having baby :D which i am over the moon about, however it means that when this insurance policy finishes in April next year then the scooby will have to go!! :cry:
Any ideas on a more economical but fun car to drive that i can get a pram in the back of? :lol1:

Buy whatever car you want, you dont need to worry....the last guy to have a baby made a fortune.

Just sell your story to Hello mag and others, and your set for life.

Congrats by the way.... ;)

i know of a few decent cars economy wise (missus has to have one for company), what sort of size are you looking at? you are just having the 1 for now(child)? what sort of price range/ repayments monthly are you looking at? ps were gonna miss you bud, i take it yours will have a "for sale" sign in the window next time i see you. lee

I've got a 3 year old and a 10 month old and and MY97 JDM sportwagon. never had a problem, except that occasionally 240bhp doesn't seem quite enough.

next car will be MY01 sti sportwagon. I hope.

Why do you have to sell our baby is 16 days old - remember its a 4 door family saloon after all :D

My kids are 6 8 and 9 we all fit in an Impreza, they have done since they were all babies. No probs with pushchairs etc.

Congratulations and start stocking up on sleep.....

thats why i bought the impreza ,baby was just born and needed a bigger car so we bought that ive just moved back to a 3 door ford :norty: as she is now 2 and climbs in and out her seat herself i just have to fasten it :thumb:
impreza's have fantastic boot space as you already know

congrats mate and hope you find a new car to suit your needs, at least yu got a few months of enjoyment left yet,

as said by previous guys you could still keep the scoob, my little girl is 6 and loves the car as much as us lol

i would keep the scooby but as i'm only 21 the insurance is an absolute killer!! i will try my best to keep it but if i can't get a decent qoute then it looks like i'm downgrading to a lexus IS200, at least then i wont get moaned at for having lexus lights!! haha

if them big woofers fit in your boot im sure a trolley will :D are you still doin the two runs in october ?

i know what you mean about insurance your postcode like mine doesnt help mate. we will miss you on the monthly runs mate good luck.

get a bmw :thumb:
reliable, economical, trackday not a problem, cheap parts and servicing , as the meerkats say , "simples"

We met you on the July Tunnel Run and Frankie thought your boot full of speakers was just top :notworthy

Congrats wi the baby. It's a breeze when they come along ;)

Congrats on the baby mate :luxhello: our first is due in December & I have been deliberating for a while whether to grow up and buy a Vectra estate lol, but I can't bring myself to do it! Decent sized boot on the scooby, four door practicality, solid safe car, and has isofix for the child seats. Happy days! :D

Just did a bit of a rough qoute to see what prices i would be looking at when it comes to renewal time next year by fudging the dates a bit and it comes back with a price HALF of what i'm paying now so hopefully with a bit of shopping around i may be able to keep the scooby afterall!!

I will do anything to keep this car, nothing else compares anymore!! Plus they are actually quite a family friendly car with the four doors and big boots, just means the twin sub will have to come out, to the dissappointment of many! ha-ha

:wonder: except the neighbours!!:lol1: ps. A plan for me bud, best by a long way:thumb:

Dont get a beemer, had 2 before I got into scoobies - any none routinely replaced parts are pricey and their re-sale value goes thru the floor - hope you find a cheap insurance quote - got 3 kids myself and the scooby is the "family" car :nono:

get your priorities right man.

sort the car first then worry about other things like buying nappies and so on

Build a pair of rear floor mounted enclosures...

Congratulations !
