Ouch... sorry to hear that mate. I hope the damage isn't too serious. The way I think about it is that as long as it isn't on the rear quarter, it's not too bad.

I take it, it's coming out of her insurance?

It is coming out of her insurance as she was reversing ,although speaking to her and her delightful hubby they seem right ******* who will try to wriggle out of it. Luckily where the damage is I would have had to be driving sideways for it to have been my fault. No question of blame.

Its being taken to Heatons in Atherton on Monday (Insurance sending it there) Has anyone had dealings with these good or bad.

Front passenger side wing is bent and twisted, bonnet is bent downwards at the corner and a bit has snapped off. The bumper is dented and scratched quite badly. Indicater and light housing is smashed to bits (they still work somehow). Engine bay has been pushed inwards towards the bottom of it.
Seems to want to steer to the left when driven.
Not bad for approx 5 mph.

Psychological damage to our baby is unmeasurable.

What about pyschological damage to me ("the wife") I'm going to have to go to work in a bloody Ford Ka!!!

BY THE WAY.
Only 35 to go. I should get the 400th whilst I can't use the scoob for a bit.

300th and 400th. You'll all have to address me as Sir Andy10 in a while.

Still I will be driving nearby later so you may hear the scoob burble just so you dont get withdrawal symptoms

And as for you taking the 400th post, hmmm we'll see!

Just seen the grey classic that lives off Astley St ( V Plate) Jealous. I'd be jealous of any scoob right now. Is this Dave M who worked at Currentcare.

Listening to Greenday full blast at the moment for comfort.

just been shopping in the sensible car and saw 3 scoobs. One sort of light silver with black decals at junction next to The Avenue pub. One silver one on Leigh Road and a very light blue one on Tyldesley Road who I waved at frantically just to be stared at. Forgot I was in primera.

Seems like the pink ones getting about a bit (I'm sure there's a rude joke in there somewhere )

just glad Ive not seen a brown scoob, otherwise there would be no stopping Andy10.

There's enough scoobs now around here to start a club. I think everybody follows my trend (apart from the people who had scoobs before me) I moved from warrington and had a calibra, hardly ever saw any others. Soon as I was in Tyldesley, within weeks the place was full of calibra's. Got rid and dont see any of them anymore. Got the scoob and they just appeared out of everywhere and nowhere.
I am a trendsetter (flamesuit ready!)

Just after 4pm yesterday, there was a dark coloured wagon in front of me, on the road from Hindley to Atherton. It was so dirty I couldn't tell wether it was dark blue or black. Sounded nice though.

Anybody here got a silver Impreza with a personalized plate consisting of two letters followed by three numbers? Seen outside the "Bargain Booze" shop in Atherton one night last week.

Oh heck, that was me pulling away from Grants, was hoping for a spot when she's clean, bloody salt!

<<< Note to self, wash your car more often, there are quite a few Scoobnetters locally now. >>>

Tis the same flithy wagon that was parked next to you at Tesco's in Atherton about a week ago.


Ps. She's dark blue.

No need to be ****ty with me in my hour of need.
If any of you see a black R plate primera flashing at you that will be me. Can we still count these as spots.

you know me Andy, I count anything as a spot. Especially people coming out of takeaways, mon - fri.

How is yours, have you taken it in yet? Were any of the stickers damaged as well?

Went in today at 4.30pm. Stickers not damaged unfortunately. Could have sold you the new set. Cannot fault Tesco insurance. The woman has accepted responsibility and I have got a 05 merc c180 kompressor until ours is ready as a courtesy car. Neighbours will think we've had a windfall.

Hi Neil,

I did spot you at Tesco's in Atherton a couple of days ago. I think it was either Saturday or Sunday... but can't remember, lol.

I was at the small roundabout waiting to turn out coming from Tesco and turned right in front of you when you was turning into Tesco's. I was in my Celica... as I got rid of the March ages ago.

Andy, hope you get your car back soon better than ever.

There was a silver classic about 3 cars behind me on my way home from work today at about 5:30pm. It turned off somewhere around Howebridge... anybody off here?

Well guys, it looks like I won't be spotting anybody or getting spotted after the end of the month. My years contract ends on 31 March, and I'll be moving back to Scotland and signing on the dole.

It's a pity I haven't met any fellow Impreza drivers, around here.
Now does that sound like a really good excuse for a PUB MEET?
It would give me a chance to say hello and goodbye.


("Yeah, bloody Scotsman, any excuse for a drink", I hear you say.)

Sounds a good idea to me. We're moving to the Outer Hebrides later this year so Leigh will be 2 scoobs down.
Anyone else up for this. Suggestions for pubs welcome. I'll sup anywhere.
What line of work are you in as a matter of interest.

Ah... sorry, lol... I didn't know you had waived. I only noticed it was you right at the last minute, but didn't know if you would have knew it was me.

Thanks for the nice comment on the celica. It's got a Kakimoto exhaust on it... and I'm hoping to decat it soon to make it even louder, lol.

I did just spot you around 10 minutes ago too, but it was too dark.

lol at Jaytc2003. I can imagine a guest coming on and getting the 400th post now.
