It's official
Just paid the deposit on another Scooby and it's probably one of the most imfamous cars in the history of the ESC
After weeks of Dal trying to sell me the car, he's suceeded in selling me Spally's old Scoob. TBH I liked the car, but didn't like the yellow and blue taxi look, then Dal gave me the hard sale by saying that it's now all blue, with a 22b front bumper and Tiny's old wheels!! so after 6 months being Scoobless, I couldn't resist any more!!
First thing I'm going to do is to do a compression test on the engine and check it over to make sure everything is in order.
Then fit my knock level meter I designed/made in to see if it does work!
Then later on in the year, will be rebuilding the engine - I've been chatting to Zak and he's given me some great advice
, so watch this space
BIG UP THE CLASSIC POSSEE!!!!! yeah baby

well done Paul, it's certainly going to be weird seeing someone riding round in my old baby.....soooooo many memories some bad but mostly good.
Even though people are aware of issues i have had recently with that car, some down to my inexperience with these cars but most the issues though have been down to bad service i have recieved from a couple of firms.
Although there were some bad memories there were also one hell of a lot of good memories.
Am sure with you now owning the car she will be fine and hopefully give you as much enjoyment as i had.
Oh and pm on it's way to ya.

Thanks Spally, I know how it'll feel seeing your old car driving by someone else, but got to admit, your new motor is just stunning so it should be a bit easier!!
Talking of memories, what about the time we raced at Arena Essex for the supposed "Jap night" PMSL
Quality memories

Just picked up the scoob, feels sluggish but glad to be back with a vengence
Dal and Rob have done an exceptional job on her, it really does look the nuts, in fact the finish is so good, it would be a shame to hide it behind graphics!!
