Further from a comment made by one of the mods, I find it so true that i have to ask this question:

Do you drive even if the destination is exceptionally close?

If so, is it out of laziness or the temptation of taking the car out for a spin?

Little Miss WRX

If it is a short distance then I sometimes walk or even cycle!!!!

If I do take the car, then naturally I have to take a detour in order to warm her up and cool her down again

At the same time we bought the Scooby, we also bought a bike for my wife, and for distances <10 miles we (sometimes) cycle. Always walk to the Station for work (not paying 3 quid a day instead of a 15 minute walk, I'm too tight!).

However do drive to the gym but not sure why!

Esoteric Beast

Drive everywhere.......

Newsagents 5 mins walk away.................DRIVE
Chip shop 5 mins walk away..................DRIVE
Grocers 6 mins walk away....................DRIVE
Work 15 mins walk away......................DRIVE
Petrol Station 18 mins walk away............DRIVE

But then I would look stupid going to the petrol station without the car now.......wouldn't I ??????????????

Lol @ Esoteric Beast. very funny mate.

as it goes i got in my birds brothers car the other day to pop somewhere. my belt had just clicked in when he switched the engine off and got out.

we were there already (1.1 fiesta not warp 9) btw.

that's more like it, i'm feeling better now...

i'll show my other half that i'm pretty normal, or normally lazy.

Congratulations Black Knight...

This must rank up there with the most pointless/saddest threads ever. You could have added the following:-

1) What colour is your car?
2) Have you raced a .........?
3) What colour of hair have you got?

All IMHO of course, no personal insult meant....but what is this board (bored!!!) turning into?

Nicely defused.... no wonder you are a moderator!!

I should clarify that my comments apply only to 'Scoobynet General' and there is a wealth of great and useful info on drivetrain/for sale etc, sections which I admit I would have been stuck without in the past.

No offence meant

You have hit the nail on the head re general and othe forums

All the best

if it's sad and boring, why do u even bother replying? wouldn't ignoring it be better for you.

i do find some threads pointless but i don't go around slagging them off, it's a free bbs.

imho, re your suggestions of questions, post a new thread and don't hijack mine.

this was supposed to be one of those pointless yet amusing thread (some thruth to it though) coz it's my off day and it's just like chatting on the internet with scooby and other car enthusiasts for a laugh.

can't take the heat, get out of the thread. oh! and no personal insults intended. and i was half expecting this to be moved to muppet forum anyway, u/ve been warned...

Soon as I get me car, I'm driving EVERYWHERE, 17 sodding years I've waited to get driving, I'm driving next door I am

JackClark

I drive my car with my bike on the roof. Sometimes I stop for a ride, sometimes I just drive

SiPiE,

you must have a bad day. any one that is on scoobynet has to be slightly peverse anyway, in the sense that they are that obssessed about their car in the first place! that includes me and you btw!

i have seen many what you may call boring or pointless threads, however, often the most pointless and boring ones turn out to be the funniest and most entertaining.

we cant all talk purely subaru all the time - we will go insane(er)!

peace to all,
weava

chill winston!

Black Night..

Think you've taken it the wrong way.

I'm not one to dive in when I see a standard my99 in the for sale section for 15k and tell the dude that it's way overpriced. I agree totally with you that it's a free site and each to their own, nor would I normally slag off a thread. Just like you say I would just ignore it.

But today was finally the day and having trawled through (IMHO) dull threads I just happened to make a point perhaps at the expense of yours.

If you thought it would be moved to the muppet forum then why not post it there in the first place?

Save the general forum for 'generally interesting' things, rather than 'do you take your car to the chippy'..

Just so that this is not a complete thread hijack ...
'No I don't drive everywhere'

black knight

LOL
my simple question requires just a simple answer.

i was here to find out that how many people love their cars
like mua to want to drive it anywhere and everywhere regardless
of cost and obviously petrol money coz it never happened to me with my prelude and 328i.

the feeling i get from the scoob is that i just want to drive it given the slightest reason, hence the question 'do u drive your scoob everywhere?' this is a fair question i think and the moderators will move if it becomes muppet-y.

peace...

Hoppy

Stupid question. There are loads of places I don't drive to.

To the bog, stagger or crawl.

To the kitchen, walk if nobody else is around to fetch stuff for me.

To the bedroom after she's drunk too much, walk quickly while pretending to be nochalant

LG John

In answer to the original question 'yes' I'd drive to my scooby if a car would fit between it and the front door

Sorry I'm a bit late to the thread, but the traffic between the living room and the study is dreadful, and parking's even worse. I've had to double park outside the bog.
