haven`t seen him for a while. Loves Minis, just sold his 16v 2000cc 5speed Vauxhall engined Clubman (which he built himself and goes like stink)and now running an Elise. Told him I`m getting an Impreza in a few weeks time and what did he think of them, (knowing he`s had 5turbos,1.9gti`s etc, etc). Got this reply......"Nah mate, Fanny cars. every ***** got `em. All you see is **** flyin` round in `em."
Looks like I`m going to be a `****/***` `flying` round in a `fanny car` very shortly. Hope I pull up next to him at the traffic lights in his upside-down fishpond.
Anyone else get this kind of atitude from friends/workmates(strangers)? and shall I expect this on a regular basis?

My Doreens sister in law knows nothing about cars. Infact, if you gave her a set of car keys, she'd try and open a tin of beans with them!!
But for her to turn round and say that she knows that a scooby is one of the fasest cars on the road shows how much of an image they have.
It Mr fiberglass has a total disregard for scoobys its because he knows that his hot wheels trolly is no match for it, in the wet or on the bends!!

Now i feel better!!

Mr.Cookie

Damn most blokes have been looking for the **** for years didn't realise it was that easy

Those lotus's are great fun untill the batteries run out ..lol ask him what frequency his radio controller is on !! ........ oh **** am i on the right forum ?

..... I for one never bought the scoob for it's image

its more true to say I bought it DESPITE it's image

yes, there are some **** flying around in them

but so what - it's a great car and when you are in it 'flying around' believe me you won't care about the image too much

Stiff

Spot on. I definately aren`t getting one for the image and not really bothered what people think anyway. It`s just a shame to have a certain genre of car and have people judge you without even knowing you. Strange thing is, the wagon doesn`t seem to get quite the same knocks from people yet it`s the same car with a bit more space! Go figure.

So your mate's a car-snob... who cares. What matters is whether you like the car or not.

Bonkers.

Before I bought mine I had a queue of people in my office with various other suggestions aimed at dissuading me from buying THAT one. I work for a major auto supplier in which everyone should know what that car can do but no one supported me. They told me it was a lad's type of car, pig ugly and some sent me the Jeremy Clark quote that both the evo and scooby are like two ugly sisters - great under the cover but you don't want to be seen with them.
AFTER I bought it, it earned me a lot of respect (not that I needed it). Now they know that I know that their advice was misplaced. In the purschasing decision you learn who your friends are!

mo,s scoobymonster

hi mate i get this alot people saying there common blah blah,then you just ask them have they ever driven one or even been in one the answers normaly...eeh ehh no.
