Otherwise, why the **** did you get it in the first place???
I bought mine for the performance when I WANT the performance. Personally I like nothing better than to see the little ****s think they have done a Scoob and usually let them go.

Ultimate revenge, which doesn't come around too often, involves a couple of flashes, a smile, a smidgen of speed and heavy brakes - but not necessarily in that order.

Someone's comment about previous cars and what we did when we were kids struck a cord. For every success with the old Mk I Escort and the souped up Mini Clubman there were probably at least a dozen 'failures'. Which ones did my mates always hear about.

Cool



I am 57 year old scooby owner and on the pulic road do not get involved with any type of one up man ship.

I do a few track days each year and get my enjoyment by lapping all these younger drivers who given the oportunity to rearly drive find that there ***** or talant are not quite as big as they think.

It keeps me young

As soon as they see the spoiler and badge they immediately think your up for a race? What is up with these people? Why us?

Okay, maybe a fifth of the owners of scoobs are chavs, and that seems to suck us all in

I never get hassled by chavs in my 2.0TT Legacy B4. It must be these riced-from-factory Impreza STIs that encourage the idiots :P

Try mounting a strobe flash gun on your dash, set to half a second apart, then you can laugh imagining the chav ****ting his pants every day for the next 2 weeks as he checks his post.
