Default Do you have the best looking Impreza in The UK?

If you think your Impreza is up to competing with the best of the best, then send me a spec list with a photo or a link to your web page.

Please include your email address and telephone number.

*** None of your details will be given out to third parties. ***

The Idea of a Scooby only Magazine was thought up about 6 months ago. We have been working on the formula for a good magazine for the past 10 weeks.

It has been important for us to keep the lid on things until such a point as we were 100% committed to producing a monthly magazine. This also ensured no-one else had the opportunity to beat us to it in the UK.

We have been in contact with a few people, including ATM Sport and Xtreme Scoobies, who we have had dealings with before. We also have spoken to some of the members of this board (speak up and support me if you like) and other boards. I spoke to a few people at Japshow about the project too.

My name is Jon Bracewell, and I have been a scoobynet surfer for over 2 years, and also a longstanding member of www.scoobycity.co.uk.

The project is now in full swing, and we are ready to tell. So if you think your car is up for featuring, let me know.

The launch date will be August 2004, and updates will soon be available on www.scoobymagazine.com

Thanks, Jon
editor@scoobymagazine.com

87 Views, and 40 emails from David Wallis - I've told you David, "It's not up to scratch", not "There's not a scratch"

I think the clue "to be launched" gives it away Ollie

But seriously, the magazine will be launched August 2004. The full promotional campaign will launch soon.

I'm glad you're interested too.

I'd just like to back Jon up here and say he is who he says he is and this really is a very serious venture for him and all the Subaru Community.

Default Purple beast

Jon you know my purple Scooby is the best thats why it's going to be featured soon in your magazine.

Come on guy's how are we going to have a Scooby only magazine if nobody wants to have their car featured in it

Your Scooby's don't need to have loads of wild mods like my Scooby or David Wallis's, real cars that are used every day but are loved by thier owners is what is needed to make the magazine a success. Just because your Scooby hasn't got 19" wheels, AP 6 pot brakes, coilover suspension, 500+ bhp etc doesn't mean it can't be featured Doesn't even need to be a turbo, aslong as it's a Scooby.

If any of your mates Scooby's are good enough to feature but they don't think so, stick their details in for them and they will be well chuffed if they get chosen

If any of the Hants pub meet people are reading this I'm going to hasseling you next Monday night because I know there are some Scooby's worth featuring.

Colin.

Do tell us what the blue lights and siren are used for.

We are looking for something different. But we would also like unmodified cars for other areas of the magazine (we don't want to give away too much ). Unless the car is something special, it really has to be very good condition, and clean.

Thanks to everyone who has sent details so far.

I'm usually a GP, but also respond to road accidents for West Mids Ambulance Service. I go to about 10-15 major RTAs a month, to provide extra backup for the paramedics.

John - good to see the idea is coming to fruition. Need to finish the TypeR now to get a feature!

I have worked with John for several yeas now and he is straight as a die.

Trust me, this mag will be good (cheap deal on advertising then John!)

Met with Jon at the weekend so he could get some photos of my car... not in its best state at the moment!

I suggest you speak to Steven Darley and also any of the guys at scoobyclinic as they have done some pretty impressive paint jobs

If responding to an emergency call am allowed to exceed speed limit, provided it's safe to do so. Also have to be able to prove I was on a genuine call when the NIPs come thorugh, so as to get them cancelled.

Have had to do advanced driving and response driving courses, and regular refreshers.

We've got some great cars there - thanks to you all.

We are also looking for those with extreme audio/video mods.
