Cool

To all, now everything makes sense. Just picked up my first scoob this morning, MY00 last of the classics UK spec. Due in work at lunchtime so a little play time before going in plus needed to get the tracker registered. Headed off up the a 6 northbound to lancaster and the meaning of life actually became clear this car is amazing to all of you who own scoobs how the hell can you move on to another car after one the car is wonderful. Ive been smiling like a nutter all day in the office and have been giving people tours of the car all afternoon. And now Im off for an evening blast something no car has made me want to do since I was 18... If you see a blue classic on the A59 are tonight and the bloke can't stop grinning its me see you all out there
Thanks to the guys at elite motors for haniging on to the car until my settlement came through.

If you see a blue classic on the A59 tonight and the bloke can't stop grinning its me
Alternatively it could be the coppers in their unmarked car

I'm from Skipton so I'll keep an eye out for you, I only have a battered up Fiesta si though Have a look in the Northern forum for some meets, we don't bite!

Glad you're enjoying the car Take it easy on the 59 though

Grinning like you've got a coat-hanger in your mouth? Sounds about right.

I'm new to the club & just love the scooby (WRX03).
Got it on the 1st of March & have been grinning every time I get in the car, a whole month of grinning I've got face ache.

Nice one mate, enjoy....
