As above really,after the demise of the original Scoobysport what happened to him.

Thought i saw him on builders from hell but may have been mistaken.

 

Who?

 

pmsl

Interested in what happened there as well - didnt have a Scoob at the time sold Scoobysport etc so didnt come on here too much,
Can someone pm me what supposed to have happened if dont want to say on here

Richard

 

He took the Redbull ads too literally and has taken to the skies in his Microlight

Seriously!

 

The name pops up in the BMAA - British Microlight Aircraft Association - magazine now and then. I did wonder if it was one and the same.

 

I spoke to Pete before Xmas

Enjoying life Porsche, Microlight and back in Construction

 

he was very helpful to me when prodrive were not so good luck to him
martin

 

Sounds good to me

 

Pete was a qualified Quantity Surveyor so he has reverted to that plus the microlighting

 

Very best of luck to him!

 

Yep, best of luck to him.

nothing more to be said other than

 

Spooky this..!

I was doing a search yesterday with regards to spring kits v's coil over's etc.. and whilst reading a thread from 03 sometiime, this one guy kept popping up, obvioulsy seemed to be very knowledeable (and a bit outspoken). Infact as I didn't recognise the name (his post count was high) it made me wonder what happened to him. Name..? Pete Croney..!

Then next thing I know someone's asking about him...! (que theme from 'twilight zone')

Quite often when reading older posts I wonder what happend to this guy or that guy..!

 

Echo the above positive comments. Pete was a massive help to the community until a couple of years ago and his parting with scoobysport was a sad loss to the subaru community on the whole.

Sure, not all saw eye to eye, but there were a damn sight more positives from his involvement over the years, and I dare to say that the subaru scene wouldn't be what it is now if it hadn't ben for him and a few like minded individuals.

 

Never had any problems with him, nice guy.

Not everybody felt the same way, speak as you find imo.

 

dead right

 

I had my first car mapped and exhausted at the original scoobysport. Customers were queueing out the doors so was surprised when it all went bosoms up! Seemed to be putting a lot of investment in, with his own braking and suspension set ups.

 

Don't think he ripped anyone off... not in the old days, anyhow.

 

IIRC, the ones in the know beggered off and set up elsewhere, I am guessing here but I think it is Extreme Scoobies which they set up. That left Croney to talk the talk but alas could not walk the walk. So he obviously packed it in.

If you read Harvey's website the Judge summing up the case made Croney to be highly incompetent.

 

Another blast from the past, what about Grease Monkey!!!. knew loads of stuff that man.

Yes whatever happened to him, just mention dump valve and he used to turn up

 

Yeah nice guy, gave me my first ride round Donington.

 

I found Pete to be okay, talked sense, did me some good deals for me and never ripped me off. You can only say as you found, he even gave me (small) stuff for nought.

 

I was one of these "people" a few years back .... got nothing but lies and broken promises .... needed Trading Standards to get my money back for a non existant exhaust .... 3 months later!

I later found out that my order was never going to be delivered due to supplier disputes .... he knew this when I placed it and quite happily took my money!

 

YES Greasemonkey ....
....where is he now?

 

This is getting to sound a bit like Friends Reunited!
Who remembers Mad Gypsy?

Didnt he appear on fifth gear after winning a competition to drive a rally car. I dont think he appeared on here again after that came rolling along.
