I've seen your car whoever you are. Red Mica is it? I did wonder. First one I had seen in that colour.

Kind regards

Mine is black WRX S55 PEN (what else)

The only other person I ever see is Dave
(not that I'm complaining ...)

I have seen another black one coming up towards Ascot as I'm going down - I wave - but he looks ever so grumby ..... ahhh!

Lucky you - San Francisco - excellent!

I'm in High Wycombe, and I pick up my DBM MY00 (V772DBA) on Saturday :-)))

Looking forward to (finally) meeting everybody at the next meet - until then please give me a flash or wave if you see me!

Hi Guys

I work in the Thames Valley Park, Reading. Spend my time up and down the A329M and going through Bracknell and onto Egham.

I have seen a couple other Scoobies going in and out as well as two that frequent the Gym !!!!!

Before Xmas followed a Scoobie from Wentworth all the way to TVP. Any of you guys ?

Looks like there are quite a few of us round and about.
Me thinks a small Reading Chapter meet is in order.
I would suggest :-

One Sunday meet for lunch in a pub then a simple route for all to follow, just to let Reading know we are here (lots of reasonable lanes in the fairly local area)

What does everyone think

Would that be Bracknell Gym - if so - mine is a regular visitor.

Interesting observation....

Sunday - Bracknell Sports Centre hosted (again!) a Computer Fayre - not one Scooby in sight (or parking space) I might add - not a one..... or maybe it was too early for Scoobie IT Techie types?

PS: Tim - yes I know what you mean.

I live in the Wokingham area and regularly see (and wave at) lots of Scoobys. They are much more popular now than when I first got a turbo back in 1995.

Jonathan,
I also work in TVP there are at least 4 other Scoobies in my office car parks, but I have not seen any SIDC stickers on any of the ones I have looked at so assume the ones I have seen are 'Owners' rather than 'Enthusiasts'
Oh dear better put a flame suit on for that remark.

Hi

I work in Marlow and drive an STI IV type-R
I see a few other people around and they all wave- but not many on the M40 back towards Uxbridge > Ruislip - strange...

Hi All

My car is a rolling SIDC / Scoobysport advertisment.

See Loads of scoobies around Theale, not suprising since Pangbourne has Lancasters.

Being a weekend Welsh boy, i doubt i'll make any Sunday meets hence the occasional Mid-week get-to-gether in Nettlebed.

Bye, NeilR

Hi,

I also work at Thames Valley Park, Reading. I'm in the standard uk turbo 4 door, DBM MY00 (I have also seen a 5 door DBM, V reg in the car park).

I go to the gym at TVP (Penni, I assume Jonathan means this one) occasionally but I always walk there from the office. I am sometimes parked at the nursery next to the gym however, collecting or dropping off my little boy.

I don't have a SIDC sticker yet as I've only just applied to join.

I very rarely see Imprezas on the road to wave at, maybe they're not so common after all ?

Colin
