No it wasn't me, but they're all out today,

Guy in Watford in a dark blue classic coming up to the arches decided to over take the traffic and then cut it up as you came to the lights. No wonder scooby drivers get a bad name

I read quite often on here about bad driving in other scoobs, I know I'm new to ownership but the only bad drivers I have come up against since I've had mine are the youngchavs in their corsas and fiestas wanting to race me.

You get that too, the problem as I see it is that older classics are now extremely affordable to the same chav community, but just to twist the knife after they have stuck it in, they then don't insure them because they can't afford to and drive 'em like they stole em

It's not all bad news, however. While out for a drive this afternoon I was joined at separate times by two Imprezas - both of whom were happy to stay a sensible distance behind me and enjoy partaking in a mini-convoy along the roads and lanes of central Hampshire. No harassement of other drivers took place either.
Cheers
Nick

Yes Nick that happens with me actually, as a general rule the scoobs I encounter never act, for want of a better word, disrespectfully. Usually if they pass me on a carriageway its nice and steady, that kind of 'respect'.

However, there are one or 2 who drive like loons around my area (Nuneaton/Cov).

Everybody, have a nice weekend! Im off to get some ale and sell ma body for scientific testing! In a bit man init bo!
