Question

Is there any chance of this materialising in the foreseeable future? Is any work underway with it at the moment? I understand some of the reasons it is taking time and those involved have other commitments but I am beginning to think that the content is all going to be old news by the time it is released. In another year's time, there is a danger of most of the people that payed for it won't even have Scoobies anymore! Obvously I have waited this long so would rather get it if possible but if its been shelved for the time being I will be taking advantage of a refund. (Hope you didn't invest all the upfront payments on the stockmarket )

Talking

The scoobynet CD is being marketed and released by the same people who are doing
1. The RS Focus
2. The STI 7 PPP
and
3. The MY01 reshape..



Seriously, drop simon(webmaster) an email.

Boost,

Apologies for the time this has taken. If you would like a refund this is not a problem. Unfortunatley other commitments have caused us to put back the publish date. We are certainly not shelving it, but in the same breath, I am unable to give you a firm production date.

Dont quote me on this, but I would hope we will be able to steer towards a Sept release.

Again, I apologise on behalf of Scoobynet Ltd, for the constant delays.

Regards,
Shaun.

Shaun,

Maybe, if it is actually going to be out soon, then now would be a good time to re-advertise it and see if there are many more people who'd be interested?

It passed me by the first time round, but I might well be interested now (especially as I presume it'll be searchable!). Lots of new people have joined Scoobynet in the last year who probably have no clue what this CD is.

Andy.

Hi All

I would like to add my apologies again...

I have 2 refunds to send out (which are also late - apologies) so if you would like a refund, please send me an email with your address and I will send it to you.

We are working on things right now that should free up enough time and resources to make this happen shortly, as shaun said.

All the best

Simon

Hi

OK.. the scoobynews cd is a cd archive of the bbs prior to end of 2000 (the rest is on here), and has a few articles including the group test where we tested the Ferrari 355 spider against the entire impreza range at bruntingthorpe proving ground, etc. It also has a load of videos, etc.

We will not be taking further orders for it now until it is released.

it will be £20 and the poor sods who have pre-ordered it and waited so long get it for £12.

All the best

Simon
