Well, after 5 years of scooby ownership and memebership of SN, the time has come to leave both behind, due to imminent immigration to Australia. 5 years has seen alot of changes both for me (married FFS !) and to SN : some good and some bad.

I'll miss :-

• Some of the good friends I made on this board, many of whom helped me when I needed it. Including (not exclusively) ToneLoc, John Felstead, AndrewC ("shiny"), David Wallis and others. Thanks guys
• The joy ( and noise !) of when the turbo starts to kick in at 2600 RPM, especially in 3rd.
• The looks other marque owners get when a 10 year old estate car goes flying past them - Porsche, BMW and Merc's especially.
• The technical knowledge and advise available on this board - never waste or abuse it guys, else you'll loose it.

I won't miss :-

• Some of the arseholes on this board
• The cost of running the scooby - £1600 alone in parts this last year !
• The weather in this country ...

As I said the cars for sale, we're flogging/selling/dumpin/packing most of our possesions and I've been to renew my australian passport ( dual nationality comes in useful again ). Fingers crossed in 4 weeks or so I'll be jetting back to a country I grew up in, and left 25 years ago to start a new life.

Good luck! Bon Voyagee! Say hello to Skippy, Dame Edna Everage, Rolf Harris (DOH! He's over here) and Crocodile Dundee. Oh, and Ned Kelly

Edcase

who do you both work for?

Is she going to work for Auran or someone?

Nearly went myself a few years back....

BoxerFlat4

Good guess Edcase : my wife's working for Auran.

I work for a company called Simbin, who are involved in a certain racing game at the moment.

BoxerFlat4

should also mention a big thanks to Peter and John @ Prosport - Peter first worked on my car many moons ago and has been cursing me bringing it back ever since. Without the lads at Prosport, I would've ground to a halt long ago.

Anybody in the North-West should take their car to Peter @ Prosport, best garage for Scoobies out there

Edcase

Aye, I know all about it

I used to work for Bitmap Bros, Acclaim etc. now own/run hive (www.hivepartners.com)

Auran were on a huge UK recruitment drive about 6 years ago but I moved to London instead
