OVERTAKING ANOTHER SCOOBY
Total novice here. Bought my first ever Scooby (WRX STI) yesterday. Can anyone tell me the what the form is regarding overtaking another Scooby? Was in the situation where there was a Scooby in front of me on a dual carriage way today that was moving on fairly nicely but could perhaps have gone a little faster but I just held back out of respect. Just asking so that I "play by the rules".

I believe that it is alright to pass a slower moving scooby. but you should'nt really as the slower Impreza is probably in the fast lane anyway do the max limit of that road ie motorway 70mph or dual carriageway 60mph, so if you are going faster than him, which i hope not, then i see not reason to overtake him as you would be breaking the speed limit - not good

I'd regard it as bad form to hold up another scooby that wants to come past - there's no shame in being overtaken. Provided you don't tailgate the other car and try to force the driver to move over, then go for it.

70mph with a central reservation.

<------------Pull a face like this as you go past!
Just 'nudge' him off the road, then when he/she wants your insurance details tell to 'em to **** right off as it was a 'racing incident'. They are rally cars after all

The scoob in front looks for some where to pullover (i.e. a lay-by)
From where you have a chat for half an hour
PS if you see two scoob’s in a lay-by you have to stop to join in okay

the correct method is to nail yourself to his rear bumper,
whilst applying full beam,
this has the following effect, it will either seal the micron thin paint to the bumper or remove it , which i believe is the norm....
the heat generated will cause the driver to go into cool down mode, upon where
he will find some twisties , which generate masses of air to cool the scoob,
and as you know you will always have em on the twisties

It's a turbo car! You are on boost, they are off boost (probably). So zoom past but try to wave.
Is there an etiquette thread anywhere on Scoobynet?

As you pass you shoudl pull in front of them, stick your *** out the window and fart at them!
The sudden intake of methane gas into the air intake system of there scoob should then increase the power for a few seconds just enough to give them hope that they might keep up with you

1, pull along side
2, perform the scooby wave
3, if they wave back pull into a layby and chat until you're cold and hungry
4, race like you have no regard for life until one of you pulls off at a junction
5, one final wave
6, explain to the boss why you're 5 hours late for work
I think that's the rules is it not

Just Impress the hell out of the other driver by passing them with a four wheel drift around an Island.
Otherwise don your flat cap, put your cushions on your parcel shelf & stay behind....

As Burr says, treat it like any other car, drop a gear and f'ing nail it.
I ve had a couple round here that wouldnt move over, scoobs that is, and have braked, then they have dropped a gear and booted it. Any car that does that to any driver is bang out of order, and receive necessary ebarrassment. Scoob drivers receive the same treatment.
I drop a gear, floor it, and if they aint moving, then i will undertake them, simple as that. Bad form i know, but if they want to drive like a tit and hog the road, then i will use the other part of tarmac i pay my RFL for.
