Default **MUST READ** - Scoobynet member fail!!!

Today I had the good fortune of being in the right place at the right time for a QUALITY "Was it you" post

Whilst attending a traffic signal fault on the Euston road in central London, outside Great Portland street station, I heard a lady shout across to me saying "excuse me, where are my traffic lights?"

It took me a few seconds, but then I quickly realised the blonde lady was facing the wrong way down a one-way street!!!! Hence, no traffic lights pointing her way!!!!

I told her she was facing the wrong way, she blamed her Satnav, and then proceeded to back up and turn around, but as she was backing up in her black Honda Civic, I recognised the number plate, looked at her again and instantly knew who she was!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, not to miss the moment, I ran back to her, confirmed the culprit was who I thought she was, and introduced myself Leaving her battling traffic coming at her head on!!

If I said the Number plate read as HIGH 5, would you know who I saw today?

I didn't know she had a Civic either, it was the plate I recognised, then the face just clicked into place

Scoobynet legend IMO

Can I use rush hour as my excuse?

It took me a while to realise something was missing but I never expected it to be the lights.

Full marks v5 Man, well spotted lol. I cant believe I was spotted by a scooby driver, epic fail. One thing though, good job I was in a less conspicious car :0

Haha guys, all in a days work for me.
I was using the sat nav for short cuts through the rush hour and was doing really well until I realised my lights had dissapeared. I thought v5 was emptying the bins loI, i nearly didnt ask for help because I thought he was foreign.
Most speople have these sort of mishaps all the time but mine happen to be rather noticeable.
True to form though I have been busy. Im on my 4th type r since the scooby. The red one was written off by pensioners after 6 months, the silver, supercharged one was stolen after 6 months and then my beautiful cosmic gray one was written off after 10 days. I am now have a black one which has lasted me longer than a year



I think the last time I was here was when my silver ep3 was stolen. It was only due to some members on here that we caught the theives and one went to court. I was awarded half the value of the car in compo (ins ran out 2 days earlier) and am now ready to ask for the other half.

Good to see you back behind the wheel and back on the site. Hope all is well with you apart from the motoring mishaps.

Glad to hear someone went to court for stealing the silver car, I hope the karma caught up with the others who were with him!
