Angry Swindon/Highworth

Silver STI, WR1 on Great Western Way, numerous others, getting bored of people not waving back, makes you wonder why you bother! Yawn...

I drive a green MY01 WRX, though I think it may be invisible! Will have to check the paint sometime...

Perhaps if I flick the V's and see what happens?

I tried to make the meet in Chippenham last weekend but had a change of plan with w$#k, but always up for a cheeky beer

I see quite a few in Swindon on Tuesdays, but I'm in my truck!! So feel a bit silly waving
But I will start flashing and waving from next week. So if you see some fool in a yellow truck doing so

WN51 ***, head light conversion with new black ones, I think better than the originals.

Considering how many there appear to be in Swindon, it's amazing how often you drive around and don't see any! Perhaps they're all hidden away for special occasions?!

Robocop - no thats not me, I have a normal plate.

Like the idea of a Swindon meet - last one I know of was about 9 mths ago at the Sun Inn by Coate (and I never made that one).

Yeah the last meet was at the Sun Inn but lots of people didn't go because it was the same weekend as the International Air Tattoo (that was my excuse). Could set another one up towards the summer, there's lots of Scooby owners in Swindon (and surrounding areas).

There are indeed, definately a higher than average density of Scoobs around, I'd be up for a meet if not a "working" day.

I'm up for meeting fellow enthusiasts to, I might of been the lunatic in the green one in highworth bigknd, but now I'm in a Red classic with another loudish exhaust

Btw guys look out for any Lexii cop cars, marked n unmarked. I got stopped today on the dual carriageway down to the common head roundabout following one (yes I said following). The copper thought I was gaining on him too fast? even though I was only just over the 50mph limit. I think he just wanted a look at the car, as all he did was give it compliments.
