Well folks, after a lot of head scratching, soul searching and bean counting...... we've traded in the Scoob for a Hippo.

We had the Scoob for almost 2 years (a personal record), and as much as we liked the Scoob, both ScoobyLoobyLou and myself felt we needed the change:

I took the photos so you couldn't see the tears.






Good points:

1) more room - took a 28inch widescreen home at christmas, fair bit more legroom, headroom etc.
2) much cheaper insurance (how does 50% sound?)
3) better fuel cons, though this might be down to different driving style as well.
4) not a target for racing anymore, don't get pi$$ taken for baby on board stickers.
5) better in the snow this morning
6) hole new world of accessories, magazines etc.
7) back window lowers - great for the dog

Bad points:

1) Feels slow - it's not a Scoob
2) Seats a bit unsupportive when cornering
3) Roof's a bit of a swine to reach when washing
4) oh and....... it's not a Scoob


I'll still be lurking around here somewhere, and might even crop with the odd post here and there.

Keep it safe,

Mike.

YHM. There's a surprising amount of fun to be had with the Hippo, only at legal speeds, which has to be a good thing with a 3 month old baby in the back.

Miles:

apologies for the comment, got the email, cheers. Funnily enough I thought I'd used a stronger word than clowns (people previously mentioned won't make the connection will they)

All IMHO of course.

Yeah! The Forester would hav been the best of both worlds - or did you prefer the "higher quality interior" that the Hippo obviously has
