The sooner they break up all the scoobies the better I thought the chavs had started to move onto fiestas and likewise

Maybe they can't sell their scoobies on Evilbay so they are trying to improve them
It is crazy how many they break, seems every chav who needs some crack money buys an old Subaru with Morettes and breaks it

No loss tho
Yeah looking at his thread count on here, its not a big loss to the SNET community, but he does need shooting for bringing all those clueless gypo's together in a single place

If you're referring to you '99 plate, thats not a bad innings for a set of bolts exposed to the elements 24/7 over 14 years! You should see VW ones after five years

This page isn't a bad one and it's mostly scoobynet users on there https://www.facebook.com/groups/579172192131490/

If you want to join up send me a message to let me know who you are because the doors are closed to people that we don't know to try and avoid the swap shop lot

You have to ask what the group owner's intentions are that he cultivates such an environment where sellers may only advertise to daft clients (whose misinformed statements are seemingly encouraged) and people with knowledge (who are trying to help them) are kicked out for speaking up.

One of them is free money through the 'authorised' advertisers paying him for the privilege of selling to the misinformed. As I am aware, he dosent pay anything to Facebook for having the page.

But in his defence, a chav army is probably too much to bare, so when the likes of some 'questionable' folk get in a muddle because their knowledge, or rather lack of it, is highlighted,by a sole user - whats easier, take on the wrath of the chavs or remove the intelligent single user? Thick people are easier to control

I wonder if the Mr hard man who started it all, 'DoubleD Removals' understands that his company he freely advertises as isnt registered with Companies House

A lot of them are on here as well, someone I know bought a perfect gearbox that was not as described, has put it down as lesson learnt

Imagine seller was a "trusted" one on there which to be fair some are genuine

Yeah it's pretty good, it seems its a higher class of scooby user (except me) and no WUM's on there either.
