Hi ya all,

Apologies for delay in producing this report.

Wednesday's 'Birthday Treat', mission accomplished.

Thanks to all that submitted postings as I am sure that all your comments helped to progress this plot to a very successful conclusion.

We would like here, to express our very sincere thanks to TDT for having volunteered for this mission, for having communicated with us so effectively, for having been so reliable and cooperative and for having very skilfully, safely and legally wowed us with a demonstration of his scooby's performance.

After the 'scooby drive experience' we were privileged to have TDT's agreeable company at our local pub, where over a light meal we were able to hear about first-hand practical aspects of scooby ownership. The birthday cake did not go with us to the pub, so unfortunately, TDT missed out on that. We know that we were very lucky to have had our original request picked up by him and we look forward to meeting up with TDT again sometime. This time though, it should be us doing the two-hundred mile round trip.

Birthday Girl's day at school had been awful. She'd suffered a headache all day, had sat a previously missed test during her lunch break and had spent twenty minutes after school, unsuccessfully searching for her elusive maths teacher for help with a homework problem. Despite all that, when she finally came out and spotted the scooby parked along the road, her reactions did not dissapoint us. She had no hesitation settling into the front passenger seat, almost as though she had been in training for this very day.

When I have learnt which buttons to press, there should be two piccys in my next posting. Hopefully, they will show Birthday Girl with Scooby immediately after the ride. After the pub visit, Birthday Girl had to have a lay down for about an hour and that helped to soothe her headache. As the evening progressed, realisation of what had happened began to sink in and it became clear to us all that her infatuation for scoobies had been further enhanced by the ride experience. She went to bed, as a very happy girl. In the morning she declared that she'd had a very good sleep!

Thank you ScoobyNet

corradoboy

Will look forward to seeing her contribution to the regular Scoobynet thread that is "What was your 1st experience of a Scoob ? " in a few years time

Well done TDT and glad you got it all sorted. If I may suggest, the Northern Big One is an annual event held at Lightwater Valley near Ripon, N. Yorkshire where last year there were 402 Scoobs in attendance. Even without a Scoob anyone is welcome. IIRC it's usually in July/August. I think she might enjoy that

That's nice Kazik, i like reading stories like that. Glad she had a good day.

Kazik,

As mentioned abvove by Corradoboy, the Northern BIG ONE is held at Lightwater Valley near Ripon and will be held on 12th June 2005.

Your daughter and your family will be more than welcome.

Well Done TDT

Cheers

Thanks for info about the Northern Big One. Maps and calendars have already been out today. About then, it could provide a good break from revision and GCSE exams. Looks like a Saturday night stay in local motel, sounds good to us, cheers.

At last, I have created website containing previously mentioned pics of Birthday Girl taken after her dream Scooby Ride, go to :-

Yesterday, due to demands on space and on my time as a result of on-going 'front garden alteration to parking area' works, I had to refuse offer of free car (Sierra) for daughter to use as a racing banger. Still not really sure whether banger racing is good training for a would-be Scooby driver? We'll think again mid-2005.

G'nite.

Nice one TDT, your a star

I have three Kids 24, 21 and 15 and know how hard it is to make a Teenager happy you realise that from know on, her street cred will be ruined if you pick here up from school in an old Banger

Well done TDT, the Happy side of Scoob ownership

Hi Everyone,

I guess that this thread has just about run it's course. Thanks to its success is due to all of you who have contributed postings and those who have taken an interest in reading the thread. We have been overwhelmed by the response to our original request and have really looked forward to reading all subsequent comments. We feel as though we have been welcomed into your community, thanks for that.

Due to natural parental caution, in all previous postings I have deliberately referred to her as "our daughter" or "birthday girl" and now it seems right, that after all the interst shown, we can finally refer to her by her name .. Emily.

Thanks are also due to Little Miss WRX for the sensitivity shown in her role as moderator. I fully intended to print out a copy of the thread and now Emily will have a fitting momento of the plotting that went into arranging her surprise Scooby Ride.

I have introduced Emily to Scoobynet and she avidly checks it out on a daily basis and gets knowledge and amusement from reading postings of many threads and pleasure from looking at pictures of members cars. It won't be long, I am sure, before Emily registers as a Scoobynet member and starts writing postings of her own, you have been warned!

Regards, Kazik

P.S. A message from Emily ...

hiya everyone!!!

thanks to all you guys (and gals) out there who have shown an interest in my scooby experience!!!

thanks especially to TDT for allowing me to drool over his lovely STi8, it was an experience that will definately never be forgotten!!!

this has certainly confirmed my love of scoobs and helped me to focus more on my schoolwork and the subjects that are important for me to get a good job that i enjoy, and loadsa money (!!!), so that one day, i can be writing stuff on here as a proud scooby owner!

as Dad said before, i may be writing on here more often, BE WARNED!...be affraid...be very affraid...lol just kidding hee hee

c ya 4 now!..

gregh

What a great thread,, well done TDT and thanks to Kazik for posting pics and keeping everyone up to date. This kind of thread restores your faith in humanity.



When is the family going to a track day next then

My 4 year old is desperate for a ride in my Westfield, one day I'll pick her up from school in it!!

regards,

Greg

Actually he's driving a brand new WRX in black. 300 miles on the clock. And I've had mine since sept 1st. Never had any problems, threats, zip. But then I don't live in the midlands. I took the post as genuine.

So did TDT and me

That probably why 'A few' took the post as genuine

My mate had his arm broken during a Hi-jack and will always have a metal plate in it as a reminder The crook only got 7 years, they should have doubled it IMHO.

It has become so common place in his area and many are concerned about their Families personal safety, even in their own homes he and many others have sold their Scoobs so they can sleep at night. At the moment I have far more fun than depressing times

Any way, we are trying to keep this Topic on a Positive note, the 'Good side of Scoob ownership'

Happy Birthday Emily

Great thread, got to be one of Scoobynets best???

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year to you all

Father Christmas didn't bring us a Scoob, he took one look at the present state of our driveway and suggested that a JCB would be more appropriate. Looks like front garden make-over and garage emptying will have to be completed before we can become fully fledged scoobyites.

However, in the meantime, we shall be indulging our dream-car-fetish by attending Bedford Track Day on Feb 26th. We've already bought three spectator passes, really looking forward to the day, hope to meet some of you there.
