Ok, so does anyone know why is a Scooby called a Scooby?

RB5Jezza

Su ba ru............Scooby do

Ciaran

its short for scooby doo that sounds like subaru obviously!!

dhayzen

I had kind of thought that, but wasn't 100% sure. Thought there might be some other link to Scooby Doo other than just sounds like.

Baby Blue

You're thinking about it too hard m8

wideboyuk

Yeh I believe Shaggy had one

chrisp

Yep the image would be better if it wasnt for them pesky kids

Pete Croney

Does anyone know where the term was first "publically" used?

A set of clear side indicators to the first correct answer

Pete Croney

Clarification...

the term Scooby or Scooby Doo being used to refer to a Subaru

dhayzen

Thanks folks, that's good enough for me.

I had someone ask me the otherday and said it related to Scooby Doo, but after saying it I thought... is that really the real reason... I guess it is.

Cool !

banshi

publicly is I believe the correct use

So do I get a prize for spotting the deliberate mistake Pete

ChrisB

Carweek or Performance Car Pete? Richard Meaden maybe?

pbee

scooby doo was orginally used as rhyming slang for a xr2, and i guess as a lot of scooby owners previously had xr2's (scoobydoos) it has probably carried on.

just a thought :-), not trying to make any connections between impreza's and xr2's in any way.

Pete Croney

Thanks Banshi

Nope, not PC or Carweek.

chrisp

used in a film to refer to a subaru saleman as "he sells scooby doos" but I cant remember the film

Dracoro

also, 'scooby dooby doo' fit's the lyrics of every song ever made!

try it! if you're unsure of the lyrics, just sing 'scooby dooby doo' in the same style as the song and you're away!

Chris

I need the tittle and the year

wideboyuk

Surely you mean title

Pete Croney

Yes Wideboy, I do

Brain functions are off line today

Brendan Hughes

Not fair. I'm sure Dave T-S has answered this two or three times already, and scoob indicators won't fit on his VX220

By the way, by "publically", do you mean "in a pub"?

dhayzen

Ok so as Scooby has been explained, can any of you put me in the picture of a few other alias's that are used often but not 100% sure of there meaning...

Terzo - Turbo?
DBM

Go on, shoot me down in flames for not knowing these

Pete Croney

Brendan

Only cos I once told him the answer

Nick1

Crocodile Dundee II in 1988

Gedi

yep, I remember when XR2's where called scoobys. Well before the time of the Impreza

hail-hail

Terzo - limited UK model, have a look in members gallery, you'll find a few.
DBM = Dark Blue Mica/Deep Blue Mica i.e. the colour of the car.

anymore?

Pete Croney

Not Croc Dundee. The year is close though

dhayzen

Heh, makes sense once you know doesn't it

Thanks for info... I will now know what to say in the "Was it you?" section when I see a DBM or Terzo.. Cheers!

Nice pics of the Terzo by the way

So where did the term 'Jap Crap' come from?

Was it the blue oval boys that started that?
