Default Any Scoobs in the Cheltenham / Gloucester area?

Just moved to Cheltenham for a new job - am I likely to clap eyes on anyone from here?

Nice one lads, next question, where do you go for repairs and services? Going to need either a new fog light, or lens thanks to an unseen toe bar

Thanks lads, I'll be having a look at those recommendations - south wales is a bit far though.

Working in Cirencester, so that's a bloody shame the garage is closing!

I'm by one of the Gloucester campuses.

No silly stripes on my car, thank you very much!

Trip to Tewkesbury might be on the cards - some good roads round there if memory serves, and you get to gawp at the tanks and what not at the Mahoosive military compound!

I think the scrap yard in Bishops Cleave (Mitchells breakers) has got a classic in for breaking might be worth a look, if you want a good bit of road head over to Broadway up fish hill and then along the A44 to Morton on the marsh then onto A429 fosse way great road and great views can see for miles.

To be online that early in the morning you must be taking your pension out soon .

Beastra - I caught a glance of a new age blue scoob, but not enough to tell if it was a Hawk or Blob on my way home, think a lady was driving?

I've been passed by a silver M5 three times now, that thing absolutely shifts.

I live 8 miles from Gloucester city centre near a village called Newent (out past Highnam way) but I rarely see any other Subaru's? I have seen a nasty bright green classic a couple of times.

Give me a wave if you see me. Original standard classic .
