Do your neighbours think you're... well, a bit sad?!
#1
I can't help but think my next door neighbours think I'm a bit sad as far as my scoob is concerned!
They always seem to be going out or coming in whenever I'm outside doing something to it.
Usually I'm just washing it, which is ok, but over the last few weeks I decided to spruce the thing up. Last weekend they saw me polishing it...twice, and cleaning under the bonnet, but this weekend topped it off. Yesterday they came outside to find me cleaning under the wheel arches, which was bad enough, but this afternoon, when they saw me with the car jacked up with a wheel removed, my neighbour asked, "Oh, dear. problems?" When I replied "Er, no... I'm er, well, painting my brake callipers," the look on his face said it all! Oh the embarassment!

Mine are superb - we only moved in five weeks ago.
The guy opposite says that he loves the sound of the Scoobysport exhaust. It's just the backbox, and he's happy for it to be a bit louder as it "sounds so good". Top chap. His wife probably isn't as keen
Diagonally opposite is the neighbourhood drinker. He relgiously cleans his Z3 and his wife's compact every sunday, even using tyre shine on the tyres. Compared to him, I'm nowhere near as sad

I am surrounded by Old people that fart and don't realise and have plastic bed sheets.
That said, the old guy at the end of the road always waives and smiles when I pass.
The joys of a turbo timer when I had my scoob at 3.00am

You think your neighbours think you are weird, mine idolize me as the ones opposite me are Rally NUTS and when they see the RS200 and 22B they go RED. Shame I don't speak to them as all my neighbours are a little stuck up!
Having loads of Scoobs and a Oil burning Beemer on my driveway each weekend must pee them off with all those exhausts

My neighbours must think I'm a car theif, I turn up in different scoobys all the time. My demo gets sold on average every 3 months, I use my Dad's P1, the demo Forester Turbo, my Mum's legacy and the company Trooper Commercial.
And I get them cleaned for me (Sorry, I had to say that )

I'm truly the maddest of the sad.
Most weeks I;
Wash the car
Clean the wheels
Clean the calipers
Polish the car
Polish the wheels
Polish the tailpipe
Black the tyres
My neigbours all think I'm bananas. Trouble is, they've mistaken me for someone who gives a ****.

I think it depends on their age...
I never clean my scooby, but always leave very slow, and return home even slower. (Warming up and cooling down from trashing it just 5 min ago ).
So, the young think I'm sad, because I have this brilliant car, and don't deserve to drive it if i'm this slow ...
Se older think I'm just a discrete young executive, because during the week I'm always in a suit, and don't show off or drive fast... So, the parents like, and the kids must hate me . They are all wrong .

My neighbours thought that me a my brother were gay, drug dealing, car theifs.
Two guys living together therfore we must be gay, couldn't be related or anything oh no.
My brother looks like a columbian drug dealer so I can understand that Sorry bro!
A lot of cars seem to keep coming and going Scoobs, Porsches, M3's, Jags and when I had had a hire car someone would drop it off and pop the keys through the letterbox. I'd drive it for a couple of days then someone would pick it up. They obviously thought that these were hot (as in nicked) cars.
Some people must lead such sad lives that they have to make bollox up and spread it round the community.
Oh well off to sell some crack to a rent boy in my stolen Merc.

Mark,
To be fair if you share a house with Nigel, and even look a bit like him, I can understand why you two are mistaken for drug dealers!!!
Also I've met his girlfriend , so I can't understand the gay comment! A lesbian couple maybe, but not gay!!

[Disclaimer - I have no connection with Mark and his brother, they are just my usual drug dealers!! ]

It's so bad, that we have a swear box at work!
It's a 50p each time we do or say our thing!
My boss can't say "fu*k" and "b*ll*cks"
My colleage can't fart or say "c*nt"
I can't say "Subaru" or "Impreza"
I swear like a trooper though!!!
So far I've contributed about £5 in two months! I managed a 45 minute conversation with Nito, and Subaru slipped out as we ended the conversation!! Doh!

My neighbours don't pay me that much attention anyway, so they don't really notice the car. Plus i'm not at home that much anyway.
when I am cleaning it they stay well clear as I tend to get water everywhere, bit clumsy me!

I "think" the neighbours think I am very sad!
Only get the Scoob out in sunny weather and the blue neon doorbell does not help either!
Saying that there is an equally sad chap near me with a Scoob! (You know who you are!).
Cheers,
Mossman

Hi Nigel,
All I said was that you and your girlfriend look like a lesbian couple! That said, I guess the beard throws that theory in the bin. You really should get her to shave!!!
Andy
PS - Do you still need a food parcel???
