Hey guys!

Have been bouncing a few ideas off Stu (admin) and i thought it would be great if we could incorporate a South West forum into ScoobyNet, as other guys have done, like ESC & WYIOC.

Stu has rightly asked what kind of response this would get if implemented and well, i dont know

Personally, i think there are alot of members in the SW, being Cornwall, Devon, Avon/Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire that would benefit from our very own section of the SN forum.

We could organise local meets, attend local shows, etc. Or team up with the other SN local forums for the bigger national shows.

What do you think, would you take part in a forum dedicated to us down here in the South West?

Stu is looking for a good response, so if you think this would work, please post here and hopefully we can get something sorted quickly

 

I`m from Cirencester/Gloucestershire and although I don`t currently own a scooby it would be nice to attend local meets when I get one, which should be very shortly now.

With the UK-MKIVS.NET site, we have a south west region and alternate the meets every week, so one month it would be Gloucester, then Swindon, Bristol etc etc.

Gets the from me.

 

I'm from Chard in South Somerset, yeah would be good to have meets down this way.

 

Happy to support and promote where I can

Sounds a good idea to me, I'm in er sunny Cornwall

 

Yes i would be interested, i'm right on the Devon/Cornwall border.

 

Thanks for the support so far guys. We need the word getting round to post support here as this is the only way it will happen. Do you know anyone on here you could PM, email, msn about it? The more, the better

 

 

Hi boys and girls,

Somerset, Devon and Cornwall scoobys have there own website which is i believe to be ....

see hux309 post below

They do post things on here but the southern section seems to be mainly taken up by msoc = middlesex owners club

Southwestscoobies is mostly plymouth and upwards.

Wrong addy btw.

South West Scoobies

 

Get on there and kick there **** then Daz

 

I already am.

Already had to correct one guy saying a wrx had piston slap due to forged pistons only problem is only sti's have that luxury, it was probably noisy lifters.

Elowarr knows me well, met him in the past, id have hung around but sws is dead down this way so wasn't much point in my hanging around.

Where is the link of this meet in truro tomorrow, pleeease don't say it'll be your usual crooooze meet with paxo's and corsas alike.

I may make a showing, well see heh.

 

sounds like a good idea......................

 

gloucester hear sound's good to me .

 

pmsl @ hux

sorry mate me an the mrs run Dorset Scoobys

could arrange a meet down there on the saturday or sunday

No chav wagons allowed on this one, jap cars only >>> Board Message

Its an excellent spot for photos too!

 

One problem with the multi storey, i don't think my splitter will let me in.

Well i can make the ground level but it's too dodgy to try the other levels.

I may attempt it if someone keeps an eye on the car.

 

Hey Hux, we'll be on the entry level anyway, so no need to worry about the splitter

 

Ideal, i might just have to make a showing then.

Quite chuffed atm, i could never figure out how the car was jumpy on part throttle, i spied an oil trail coming from the pipe on the turbo, tightened the bugger up and it calmed down a fair bit, so must have been a boost leak, sodding thing lol.

 

Im a member on there too...

Also im from torbay so would be up for a SW section

 

hi Darren good to meet you at truro wjcc meet, maybe see if we can get some local impreza up for a meet

 

Hey guys. Didnt get time to come over and introduce myself but did see you leave, i gave you a on the way out though.

 

Good idea

 

Up for a south west section

From sunny Cornwall too just outside Truro

Kaz

 

Yeah would be good, something a bit more specific, you've seen what the vtec brigade is like.

Aah so that was you boro, shame about your splitter though been through one myself.

 

if you ask me i think you should stay in here
the reason essex moved on is because they got too big
with about 20 threads on southern we were overwhelmed
when they left it was dead in here
now things are starting to improve and msoc dont have too many threads
you only had 3 active threads in the last 7 days
not enough to warrant leaving us on our own
please stay and keep us company

budgie

FWIW i said the same to MSOC when they asked to move

 

Yeh, it does spoil the look but hopefully have it repaired this week, so should be looking more like it

 

Lets try and get some imprezas together, I am up for a meet

I am missing my local meets that I use to attend back in Oxford, Now I am down here theres a hardly any meets

Kaz

 

How about county arms truro, nice and central, easy to find with good parking and reasonable food.

It's near sainsbury's for those that don't know.

Say first sunday next month around 2pm, about time someone around here pulled their finger out lol.

I used to arrange pug meets there and it's a good location, also has an aldi opposite for those that fancy taking home some cheep booze.

 

I like County Arms, been there a few times and the food is decent. Like you said the carpark is a good size but does it get busy on Sundays?

Ive only been weekday eves and struggled to park/get a table for between 6-8 people.

Ideal location if it doesnt get that busy tho!
