Just wondering how many people when driving in their own Scoobys would STOP if they saw a fellow Scooby broken down?

I myself dont know jack about fixing cars but i would probably stop top see if i could help in any way

johnfelstead

yep, done it once or twice. I even tried to help a guy in a Rover once. No idea what i was thinking that day.

Mr.Cookie

I stopped for a couple in an escort that had just got a new engine from blackbush way was just after finishing a evening service in a restaurant i used to work at, next morning i get into work and chef goes right off on one at me for stopping.
Later found out a mate of his got stabbed to death stopping for someone (although in germany).
Did make me think but to be honest i'll still pull over and help regardless of their car

nope unless their car was worth more than mine because some gorillas might pop out of the suspect vehicle and say "we'll swap ya!"

serious answer: would pull next to the scoob to evaluate the situation and if it was safe to do so, ask if they needed some help.

while holding the clutch @ biteing point and the revs at 5500 rpm?

...and checking for a scoobynet window sticker...

The Zohan

Assuming it looks legit i would stop for most people and always women with kids in the car if in need of help.

Last chap i stopped for was in a 944 cab, just watched him get swiped by a lorry and gave my details as a witness, i hope others would do the same for me.

Came back from Carlisle on Saturday evening down the M6 and passed a very early (MY94?) red turbo on the hard shoulder. It had crossed my mind to stop but I was with my lady and the two young lads seemed to be on their mobiles so left them to it.

Was not really safe to stop anyway as motorway was busy and it was dark. Hope they got sorted OK

However, once stopped and changed a punctured wheel for a distressed women in a volvo who was struggling with two young kids...in the Aberdeen snow!

Turboteeth

I was with a fellow Scooby owner and we stopped for a broken down Scoob on the M32 in Bristol...

But I personally would only stop if the Scoob was being driven by a fit 17 year old blonde - big Scooby driving blokes can fend for themselves

Might stretch to 22 year old female!!!

Funny one this .... as a biker I'll always stop (and even do a detour) to see if another biker by the side of the road needs help ... but never done it for a car driver. Dunno why.

GRIFFS STI

i stopped once to help an old boy who had run out of petrol,offered to take his can and get some for him and he openly told me to **** off and said i was only trying to nick his can!!
told him to **** off back and left him there.....miserable old git,never again!!
cheers

stopped and picked up a fellow mountainbiker with a puncture on the snake pass once, and gave him a lift to his car.
He was well chuffed and made me feel good for a while
Don't know if I would stop for a scooby though, so many stories about car jackings starting with that scenario.......

If it was safe to do so, I would and have stopped. Last time I did this was actually only last week, to a sick P1

No because i would be no help to them.

Marky-San

Probably, but only if it was busy with people, otherwise nope. Thats what the AA are for

Only for a scoob, or woman lookin distressed/(fit).Seen a woman get sideswiped by dutch lorry on m40 in rush hour once she ended up in a field must have been hundreds seen it only me good self n a fella in a suit stopped she was most gratefull an so were the rozzers when they turned up.

darlodge

I'd stop.

I stopped about 2 years to try and pull a Ford probe out of a ditch. It was pitch black, no other cars, miles from any where and there were 3 guys trying to pull it out. I attached a tow rope but could not pull it. Waited for about an hour until the police and the AA arrived. I told my girlfriend afterwards and she went nuts at me

Looking back at it no it was dangerous but I was carrying my maglite and I can run like forrest gump

So yes, I'd stop again.

Errr, Turboteeth, I somehow don't think you are likely to see a 17 yr old person (let alone blonde female) driving a Scooby, bloody insurance is too much, otherwise i'd have one (courtesy of student loan that is)!

BMWhere?

I thought Scoobies never broke down, so if one is at the side of the road surely it must be a con

Seriously though Scooby or not, if someone is broken down and it looks genuine and I think I can help then I will (and have) stop to help! ...Maybe
