Hi Michelle - I have got a few ideas.

I am away from home at the moment and only get weekends with the family hence I cannot really organise anything until October.

Question

Having decided on a few upgrades to my car, I would like another event nice and local t me, as it will be hard to fund long trips especially with the Tour coming up. I know there are about 3 Impreza owners in Stone at least, not including myself, and quite a few in Stafford and Stoke areas, so can we organise something local? Neil, I'll hand the reins over at this point if you want?

Michelle.

Michelle

My ideas were :

I have a couple of routes in mind to various watering holes.

1. Out to West of Stafford / Stone
2. Up around Leek
3. Similar area to last one.

A Treasure hunt.

If they were going under the SIDC banner ( which it would if I organised it ) then I would have to produce similar route directions as SM1.

Hi Michelle

Reading my responses I think they may not be worded quite right.

I am not trying to awkward it's just that I don't have a lot of time at the mo.

I have already been given a pass out on the 18th ( 10 days after the wife has our second baby ) so organising something else would just be rubbing it in a little.

Don't worry Neil!!!

I understand, us young bods who are young, free and single can do as we please!!!

I don't want you to feel under pressure to do anything, if you are happy to let me help you, I am more than happy to assist you, maybe I could be your deputy

Hey, have you seen the Gobarkingmad banners (excellent channel BTW), are we sending you there???

Ladies - I am used to being pestered by women ( even more so over here )

The only real problem comes when I have to actually do something.

I now have 4 ladies who pester me and two of them are at home with a list of jobs as long as my arm.

So life hasn't changed much.

Michelle - I would gratefully accept your help ( as long as you don't want a badge )

Have a ponder on roads to the West of the M6 and see if you can come up with a route.

As a very happy new Scooby owner ('97 WRX Estate Import version) I would be extremely interested in a Scooby meet.

Never before have I had so much fun behind the wheel of a car. Keep up the good work Subaru :-)

Amanda, we must get our semi-northern heads together and come up with a Tour of Derbyshire

Meanwhile we need to reserve a date in the BIG SCOOBY DIARY, (and in Michelle's too!).

How busy is October?

October is good for me! August is chocker (oh to have a social life!)

Derbyshire ey? We can go and terrorise all my relatives I grew up in Derby until I was 10 or 11 years old (when we moved to Stoke). At that age you don’t go looking for good roads, so I’ll be interested to see what’s out there…

Any ideas of a date for this meet? August is kinda busy for me but I'm sure I could 'arrange' to come out to play.

If you need any help scouting a route around Derbyshire / Staffs let me know.

I have a few ideas, but no dates yet, anyway let's stop hijacking Michelle's thread or we'll all be in trouble
