Default So it's all still here then!

Hello peeps.

Just checking back in after many years in the wilderness. Some of you might remember me by my other previous Username: Akira.

Back in the good old days (1999 - 2001) I owned both a UK MY97 Turbo with a few tarty mods, followed by a rather tasty MY99 STI V Type R Ltd. Had some fantastic times with some of the old school Scooby guys including trackdays at Donnington and plenty of meets and drunken japes.

Since selling my STI in 2001, I have owned a New CTR, S2000 & Porsche Boxster. Got married last year so have temporarily reverted back to a Seat Leon Cupra R and a Focus for the better half. I am however in the throws of sorting a TVR Griffith as a 3rd FUN Car for the weekend.

Who is still around then?

Main reason for logging back in is that my brother is on the hunt for a new age STI PPP.

From what i've heard, the number of Scoobynet users has increased a tad since I was last here. (understatement of the year)

Back in the late '90's early '00's there was a real camaraderie and pioneering spirit amongst users of Scoobynet. I guess this must still exist but in fragmented groups now owing to the numbers involved.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh <reminiscent mode> those were the days!

I think you're confusing it with a car owner's bbs


So, did you ever get yourself Annapurna Goretex jacket ?????

Trashman,

Never did get that jacket. To be honest, I can't for the life of me imagine why I wanted it in the 1st place.

I've just had a trawl over my old threads, it's a shame the car piccies aren't showing anymorw :boo:

Ian Watkins, well I never.

Good to see you are keeping the faith, although from memory you never actually owned a Scoob did you? I believe you were more a GT4 man if my memory serves me correctly.

What's the craic now then? Who is still about?

Hi Chris,

Good memory !! No, never did own a Scoob, and my interest is Jap AWD turbos has declined over the years. I've gone all french hatch these days, mainly because it is cheap but still fun.

Good to see you back.

Still quite a few old faces here, no doubt they'll drop in later.

Ian
