The thing is I am old 
(sort of) and I can't be bothered to waste fuel like that. I can't really afford to run a scoob like a lot of people do and tbh it don't go out much and with the low miles it has there gonna stay low for the duration that I own the car 
Also with the run out on some good roads, you run the risk of other road users and police and I like to keep my license as I need it for work too
The reason I feel left out most of the time is that people talk cars a lot and I am very un-knoweldgeable about cars. Or some just talk sooooooo much b0ll0x you can't be bothered to interact
I like to share ideas and look at other peoples cars and see what's been done and good/clean they are etc

I am 53 and not young , I didnt say anything about speed and I am more into the handling of the car, any idiot can go flat out in a straight line, and brake for bends ....the fun is in the car being smooth and staying on my side of the road....if I want fast, track days and autobahns are good for that....
, and I am quite lucky not to be married and have responsibilities, as a result......I do have plenty of toys , Landrovers, motorbikes, quad and ktm crossbow.......If anyone would like to go for a run the navigation seat is usually empty .....

I'm in Huntingdon and I don't see a lot of Scoobies around here, I would like to attend one and meet other Scooby owner and share thoughts and interest about the car. I have an 03 Blob and I'm getting a S2k this weekend as a daily. Lol Vtec kicked in Yo. Also, anyone going to the Japanese Auto Extravaganza in Kettering next weekend? Don't want to visit solo so If I could find a group I can tag along with, that would be cool.

Erm no mate there is not a track at wicksteed park lol , it's not your usual chav fest it's a bit different being more sociable
Them they do the it's a knockout but I never done one but we tried to enter the tug if war but we was 3x the size of most the entrants
It's more of a club show ,
