This might be a bit like Viz top tips, but anyway the BBS is supposed to share useful experiences, so mine is:

After replacing my tyres I left one of the old ones in the boot. Turns out it is a fantastic shopping tidy! Up to 2 carrier bags sit snugly inside it, and it's bulk means others can safely be stacked around it. Being rubber and heavy it does not slide around!

Hooray, an end to scattered supermarket carrier bag boot misery.

Anyone else got any "top tips". Subaru related obviously.

er,....like covering up the fuel gauge with a sticking plaster so you can't see it going down so fast?

You really should get out more

BarryK

I do I go shopping and stuff!

BarryK,

Top tip! here was I thinking it was the Trunk Monkey who kept making all that mess in the boot

I may try it with one of my old 15" rims, it may be one way of using them! Any other ideas for redundant rims anyone?

Take all the bits you take off your scooby.
Arrange them haphazardly in your garden.
Hey Presto! An assault course.

Hello,

You can make plant tubs out of rims/tyres!

Cut along the outside of the tyre about one third of the way in from the edge. Then turn it thing inside out to get a lovley plant pot!

To save fuel..............

Fill up one of your scooby's and park in the garage.

Next.........get the husband to hurl himself off a ladder whilst painting the house, breaking his wrist in the process.

Result......no fuel costs for 4 weeks or more !!

To save fuel...

Fill up your Scoob and park it in garage...

Fall off a ladder whilst painting house and break wrist.....

Get wife to run you everywhere whilst using her petrol and putting miles on HER Scoob.....

Save having to ever do painting again.....

And she thought I broke it accidentally.....

BarryK - stuffing's better than shopping....

Claim on your Chaufeurplan policy (obviously purchased via ME!!! ) and pay the wife or even your best mate to drive you around for as many weeks as it takes to get better.....

To save the shopping going all over the boot try the folloing smimple method, DONT GO SHOPPING IN THE SCOOBY.

That way numb nuts in the car next to your cant open his/her door in to yours leaving nice little marks.

Also you can save your SUL for more fun things.

SCOOP

TOP TIP

When parking your Scooby in a large car park ie the NEC, Cinema etc avoid that irritatating problem of not being able to locate your car when you come out......

Just leave the headlights on.... and hey presto when you depart yours will be the only car with its lights on (maybe)

Not advisable for stays over 3 hours

I bent a wheel & now Clare grows her herbs (legal ones!) in it. Not exactly a free accessory though.

I like the tip, although on MY00 they have nifty device designed especially for plonkers who leave their lights on.

They are automatically turned off when you turn the ignition off !!

It used to be so much fun returning to a flat battery.

Don't bother with expensive personalised number plates, just change your name by deed poll to match your existing reg.

Avoid waking your wife up after a late night out with the boys.
Fit LOUD aftermarket exhaust.
Screech into driveway revving loudly.
Go to bedroom. Stamping upstairs tripping over sons Spiderman action figure and Pokemon cards.
Stroke wifes hair making amorous gestures.
She won't wake up!
