Default Help!!

Hi guys long time no see

Me and my fella are coming over to the dark side (all hail piston number 3!) And all the cossie lads can just shoosh!

Does anyone know of any buying guide on scoobynet or other such resource we can use to help us make a decision as to which are to be the beasties of choice?

I'm after a fairly old L reg, t'other half is after something quite a bit newer

Can anyone help?! We need to know weak points, what we need to look out for, how to spot a dodgy'un at ten paces, usual sort of stuff please

bumps x

This site used to be buzzing with helpful friendliness, has it got to the point where it's that big now that it's turned all anonymous? I know it's been a while since I've been here, but this is SO different to what it used to be - what happened?

Am I posting in the wrong place? Is there something obvious I've missed on the main site? Just a few hints or tips as to where the best place to look would be good? SIDC m'be?! C'mon guys, this is a big expense for both of us and we don't want to get it wrong by buying a potential baddun

If you can help with links or a buying guide somewhere it'd be really really appreciated

That's his

Does that help? model types don't mean a lot to me, there's that many of em they all look the same and I haven't developed 'scooby eye' yet *grin*
