Saw an RB5 (or replica) coming down the dual carriageway from Caversham, going up the slip-road heading towards Oxford Road in Reading. I was behind flashing my lights a couple of times.

Anyone here? Very nice car....love those RB5's!

I'm sure it was you, m8. You turned right at the roundabout (top of slip road), I went straight on. I love the look of the RB5...the colour is well suited. I'll look out for you again, although I'm surprised you didn't hear me with the HKS Zorst!

At last - I've spotted a ScoobyNetter !

Plantie, BTW if it was you, you were stopped at the traffic lights, just before the slip road. There was a taxi behind you, and I was behind him. He must have felt intimidated.

I'll probably be driving around tonight around the same kinda area (Town/Cav/Oxford Road) about 9:30-10:30 tonight. I may see you around, and no doubt I'll be out for a short while tomorrow night too...looking for trouble.

Watch out for the BIG spoiler. You can't miss me!

If you ain't got one yet, get a ScoobyNet sticker from Salsa King. Still waiting for mine tho.

Is it bigger than mine?

Plantie, yeah my spoiler is bigger, it covers over 2/3's of the rear window. I think I may just have to come along to that meet.

Katana, I doubt you'll see me in the mornings, as I'm not heading down the A4 till about 9am. Travel back around 5pm.

I live near university and have an RB5 which my wife uses to drive to work in Newbury.

Go out playing at weekends when there is time!!

Car is non prodrive with full scoobysport system, clear front, side and rear indicators and SRT plate - also SIDC stickers.

Unhappy

Living in the same area I can tell you that it's one problem that worries me a lot. I'm constantly looking out the window when I hear a bunch of loud mouth kids walking past.

My flat was broken into about a year ago, so I'm always paranoid about it. I'll look forward to the day I buy a house with a garage - peace of mind. Even when I go out to my car, I give it a quick look over to check for vandalism.

Sorry to hear about the scratched m8...that would pi55 me off something chronic!

I doubt it was you. It was at the traffic lights by the roundabout with the big "O". I went straight on, the other person turned right.

Angry

Know the feeling about checking for damage each day:

Had the front badge nicked off the RB5 and rear badge from BMw stolen Friday night!!

Neighbours had merc and TT badges nicked too - we are near Cintra Park off Christchurch Rd so they just leg it through park if seen.

Starting to pi$$ me off - should have put the scoob in the garage!

Cheers
