Here comes another one inspirated by another scoobynet user...

Let's have the best car related (or scooby, so I can post in this forum) urban legends around

I'll start:

I heard (read on scoobynet) this guy had his (cateram super 7 ???) in his garage. Now this guy is a real maniac. Ties the exel of the car to a steal bar on the ground, alarm is on, garage is locked, etc. He gets home one day after work, to find his pride and joy missing. This guy is p*ssed... Real p*ssed... Just to find his toy in the garage 1 week later, with a note and the new keys in the letter box. The note said: "Just to let you know we could"

Now it's your turn... Have fun.

There is rumoured to be a record of a lap time around Donnington by a Scooby on 4 space savers! They know who you are...!

 

One I heard a number of years ago....

A lady in a new Range Rover is having trouble parking it and pulls in and out of the space several times. She pulls out of the parking place again and a young guy in a Triumph Spitfire shoots into the space.

He gets out of the car and shouts over "That's what you can do when you can park!".

The lady climbs out of the car and is rightly livid! After hearing the young guy's comment, she gets back in the car and proceeds to park it on top of the Spitfire!

She then climbs out of the car once again and says "That's what you can do when you're rich!" and goes off to do her shopping....

Thanks

Scooby engines are designed to take abuse and are always reliable. LOL!

 

There was rumoured, many years ago that a scoobynet newbie who had recently purchased a scooby, didnt post any questions about mpg, insurance, ecu reset, exhausts, brakes, clutch judder, warranty, service costs, bright switch and any thread regarding scoob Versus X, Y or Z . It was also rumoured the said person had a broken keyboard .

And another famous but amusing one:

Not long ago, the highway patrol in Arizona discovered a pile a twisted charred metal embedded 3 feet into a cliff face, 125 feet off the ground. Their first thoughts were that it must be a light aircraft that had crashed into the cliff but on further inspection, it turned out to be the remains of a 1967 Chevy Impala. A certain amount of detective work established this rather unusual conclusion. The driver of the Chevrolet had acquired a JATO and bolted it onto his car. He had then accelerated to a reasonable speed and then fired the JATo. This would have caused the Impala to accelerate to 350mph in 5 seconds, the thrust continuing for at least another 20 seconds. Two and a half miles after ignition the thick rubber marks on the road surface indicated that the driver had attempted to use the brakes which immediately melted, blowing all four tyres. By this time any control the driver might have over the rest of the journey was totally insignificant-especially when the car reached a bend in the road and took off. The car flew for about one and a half miles before smashing into a cliff face 125 feet above ground, where it embedded itself in a crater 3 feet deep. The majority of the drivers remains were not recoverable, although fragments of the drivers fingernail and bone were removed from what was believed to be a section of the steering wheel.

 

Hi chrisp!
It is also rumoured that some scooby newbies are actually scoobie oldies that have posted 100,s of times for years under other names and for reasons best known to themselves have chosen new names recently...just a rumour.. Keyboard fixed by the way

There's the old one about policeman with the radar gun that locks onto a F16 / Tornado / {Insert your choice of fighter or attack plan}. Said plane promptly fries radar gun with ECM.

The old ones are the best...

Or the double decker red London Bus found on the moon ....or the face of man on mars....

 

Not perhaps Car but Biker true story
A few years ago a mate and I stopped for a drink at a pub on the road down to Yarmouth.
We had just ordered a drink when about 30 extremely loud Bikes appear oh! sh*t its the local chapter of Hells Angels. We look great in our red/white and blue/white matched to bike leathers they simply look menacing.This is their "local" and a favorate stomping ground in more ways than one.
My mate trying to be friendly asked the nearest one where they were from.....silence then in a hushed tone anounced that nobody knows.... followed by another pause.
At this point I was getting a little scared then my mate who goes into motor mouth mode when nervous says "Chr*st you going to have a hell of a job finding your way home then.
Thats it I thought we're dead but after a few seconds they burst out laughing and one of the biggest of them commented that he had no idea you could get such big ***** in such tight leathers. We ended up buying a huge round of drinks but escaped without a scratch and invited to return to the pub when ever we choose to .Strange....we never did go back.

 

What about this one:

Bloke buys 1960's Rover from auctions. After a couple of weeks he's less that impressed by the performance and economy of said motor. So he takes it to his local mechanic for a checkup. Mechanic discovers that the chassis has been pumped full with concrete and there has been major underbody alterations. It then turns out that this car had been "modified" by the IRA to make a suitable battering ram for attacks on police stations

 

Another airplane story...

An ex. boss of mine, being an ex. fighter co-pilot, told the story about this NATO training exercise over germain soil, where his fighter was suposed to intersect another one. (Yes, he actually told the story in the first person, but you know pilots (car or airplane), right ? )

He's looking for his target, and his radar detects a slow (160mph) low flyght aircraft.

They dive to intercept................ a 911 Turbo going at it on the Germain motorway at 160mph. ( ) Imagine the face of that driver if he ever found out what was on his tale.....

 

Ok then
Two motorway plod sat in a layby (the rasied thingies) at 02:00hrs wrtitng up reports.
They hear a noise which gets louder and louder 'till whatever it is passes them but they could not see it. They put down their doughnuts and porno mags and head off in pursuit. eventually they come across a black 911Turbo - no lights on 'pottering' at 100+ mph. pull him over to 'do' him to find what turned out to be a Jet fighter pilot from one of the local bases complete with night vision goggles on who had been trying out the top speed of his car.

Another one - people claiming more than 30mpg in a scoob Turbo
- Must be a myth and if not - Y?

Guy out for a few beers one night, leaves the pub and drives home. Ten minutes later, plod arrives and asks him if he's been drinking and driving. He says "No, been in the house all night". So they ask him to explain why he's got a panda car parked in his garage.
