....and are you all as unfriendly as the 12, yes 12, Scoobies I waved to during a week's holiday in your esteemed county who ALL just blanked me.

Do you hate 'grockles' that much?!

yep from Exeter.

always wave to scoobs but dont see that many around down here......

MY00, green with gold alloys.

bought from Ashburton Motor Works who service it to. excellent service always here and would recommend them. not sure about tyres, will ask a m8 but he;s on holiday at the mo ! as he knows a good place in exeter.

GavM where u then ? dont think i've seen you around ? Did you purchase the P1 from them to ? they sold 2 at the same time i got mine, both i seem to remember had P1 plates ?

Sandman - yes we hate grockles coming to clutter up our roads, esp as they cant drive in a 'lane' thats not 3 lanes wide but we'll make exception if they drive a scoob when were u down here ?

Sasman - where u m8 ? not seen you around neither !

Chip : might be over that way around weekend.

North Devon - Waiting for Templeton Motors to fix my P1.

TM are classic 'They all do that sir' dealers, but if you hassle them with evidence then they will do what they are told (eventually)

Got my Bridgestone SO2's from TM (after much debate of course) and they turned up with a competative price fitted... You'd be surprised how often a normal garage can get a good price on tyres - they usually just use ATS type places, but they get trade discounts.

I always wave at Scoobies (even from my wifes Seat Ibiza ) but my wife drives my P1 a lot now and can't tell the difference between a Toyota and a Scooby, so she doesn't wave

Roger the Cat!? Roger the Cat?!

I knew you were a funny lot down there with your cream teas and scrumpy, I'm surprised you can drive cars without throwing up!

But Roger the Cat!?

Well I never! Each to their own I s'pose. Quaint country tradition is it?

Barry,

Like its not all pidgeons/grim and whippets/grim up north eh?

Was waiting for someone to spot that one. Maybe our brains are all addled by clotted cream and pasties so it takes a notherner to spot.

oi roger dont take no cr*p from that northern ale drinking scouser !

he's just jealous of us southerners and the better life down here compared to him being ooop t'north !

infact i dont think he should be allowed to visit Bristol next week.

ignore him and if we're really lucky he'll go away

he's also obviously got no work to do cos he's always posting on here !!

I mentioned before Steve, Hatherliegh way and I'm still waiting to play counter strike, addicted to Op flash point at the moment. F.F. Barry "and that's without even playing him" can go to Bristol but will anyone understand what he's saying. I cant believe I missed that ROGER, saw a dbm 5dr in Torrington the other day?.

I'm sure Broadwick St is fine....but I work out in Docklands since they took over G&J publishing!

It's not bad, means I can drive to work and have free undrground parking

We were down in Axmouth for a week (came back a week ago)but got around a bit.

Just love those long 3 lane uphill bits.... wait patiently for the git that just has to pull out in front of you and then struggle to overtake, then breeze past as he finally pulls in, his engine about to explode under the strain. he he!! Don't you just love your Scooby!!!!

By the way it's 'Sadman' (As in: mid-life crisis? You sad old man!) Not 'Sandman'('cos who wants to gallivant around people's bedrooms late at night throwing around small grains of silica? ...or is it sloshing port around?) I'll get me coat....
