Feels a bit lonely, up here in the north-west...!

Hi !

Just a quick thread, to see how many BB users are based around the Manchester area ? There seems to be a lot of people from darn sarf', but the North-West doesn't seem that well represented ?

To start the ball rolling, mines a MY94 STI 5 door silver, plate ANZ ???. Anybody ?

Hi m8,

Yes I thought the same. It's all big soft southerners on here isn't it?

I'm from the Rochdale/Oldham area (white 96uk 4dr with gold speedlines).

Are u going to Northern meet 5?

Hi mate...

Cheers for the quick reply ! Not sure about the northern meet - what with work, the other half and my financial situation after buying my car, I may not be able to make it !!!

Anybody else NW based prepared to reveal themselves ?

Hi Chaps,

You took the words right out of my mouth!
I was wondering whether anybody else north of Watford had a scooby other than me.
No disresepct to our Southern counterparts intended.

MY98 R/Blue 5 door on Gold wheels, can be seen around South Mcr/Cheshire.

I'm always on the lookout from other Scoobies, but rarely get a recpiprocated flash/wave, etc

Hi SPJ,

Sounds like you haunt the same area I do - I float around Manchester and south, towards the airport. I'll have to keep an eye out for you - I'm not too proud to wave !

Aw wight geezers or should that be more like 'Taw reet fettlers',well I reckon at this rate of response us Northerners should soon be able to launch a takeover bid for the bbs

Anyway for the record I'm from the Wigan/St.Helens area and I've just got my new MY01 in WR Blue and I can honestly say I'm chuffed to bits.

You can go for days around these parts without seeing a fellow 'scooby smiler'

Tony B,

You're not anywhere near 'the 'Pool' are you?
You know, the one well known for fishing.


If so, I think I 'clocked' you.

Nice to see a healthy reply to my query about NW scooby owners - I occasionally see some Scoobs rolling around, so if any one spots me, feel free to flash / wave !

Has anyone got any experience of NW companies dealing with Scoobies ? I'm thinking of DP Motorsport, ABP, etc etc.

Hi,
Thought I was the only one!!!
Nice to hear from the north!!
I am in a Green 95 UK turbo with facelift etc.. and the evo plate on the front!
(makes it easlier to see me!! )
I am usually around the M60 and Manchester
Don't forget to wave.
I have waved to few scoobys but I do not get waved back??
Maybe not from the North.
Will try and make it to NM5!!!
Regards
G.

Good to know that there are some friendly Scoob drivers out there.
I've lost count of the number of times I've waved or flashed at a Scoob and get no response whatsoever.

See Ya around

Hi Paul Corrigan,
Yes I have had problems with them!!!
I am still waiting for them to get back to me about whether my wheels will clear 4 pots.
They do not even know what type of wheels I have got!!!????:
Looks like they have given up!!
Regards

Glad to see I'm not alone in the North West!

Paul,
I normally use Intermoto in Liverpool for servicing/parts 'cos they're more friendly than IGW - no suprise they've gone out of business with their attitude IMHO.

If anyone sees a green MY97 (with gold speedlines of course! ) around Manchester, especially the Astley/Worsley area, don't forget to wave!
