Thumbs down

On the 6th November I was due to pick up my brand new and first ever Scooby. About 12 hours before collection I broke the bone in my arm! 6 days in hospital, one op and a titanium arm later I end up at home.
My Scooby sits outside my house with delivery miles on the clock. There it will torture me for another 6 weeks 42 days until i can drive it!
This is hell, i can't believe it, when you all next get in your cars and drive away remember how lucky you all are.
Any tips for brand new scooby owners apart from using 'optimax'?

It'll be worth it, mate!! Picked up my first Scooby (WRX) on the 5th November. I'm still running mine in but can't say I've noticed any difference between SUL and regular...
BTW Where did you buy the car from?

Oh and the only tip I can offer is to take it steady in the wet (at least until you get used to the car)- you aren't invincible... On the second day of ownership I managed to get it sideways...heart was in mouth!! Very very stooopid.

Dapster you must have been very bad in a former life to deserve that - hard luck mate, bit like being an ugly tw@t and sat in a room full of f@nny - not that I'm admiting to that or impling anything either but Jesus I bet you're going mad. I ran mine in in less than seven days.

No worries mate in a few weeks the pain will be a distant memory as you zip around in your scoob and grin like a cheshire cat!
