Unhappy FAO SMACS....

Alright guys, it's going to be a sad day but i've decided to let the scoob go. I'm getting into the property buisness (aswell as the golf) and need the money from the scoob to get me started. Hopefully will have a nice Bar and Grill restraunt and fancy clothes shop at the end too!! i'll still be coming on here and would come on drives as a passenger. i'll be back with a beast once things are up and running, may not be a scoob but will be nice (Noble or GT3 maybe, HaHa!!)

i'm selling my HKS 60mm Gauges seperate and also me Turbosmart if anyone fancies them

A very sad Gav....

Oh dear Gav!

Sad to see it go and such a good driver too!

Have a seat in mine anytime mate, which btw, is also being sold, but I've got another ordered

Good luck with the business. Where's the Bar and Grill? UK or abroad?

Give us a bell if you ever want picking up for a razz. Post on SMACS for my mobile if you haven't got it.

Cheers m8

Sorry to hear about that Gav although it looks like youve been really busy lately with everything and havent had alot of time to drive the scoob recently anyway.

I can confirm you will be pretty gutted when you sell her (I was) but there is life after, especially when youve got so much else going on with becoming a multi-millionaire (dont forget your SMACS pals!!).

Go for a clio 172 cup like me Gav (provided mine ever turns up at the dealers - hopefully this week), at least we should be able to keep up on the runs out!

Hope to see you soon mate...

Oh dear, another sad day for SMACS. Glad to see you are putting your priorities in the right order - there is always time for nice cars once you have made your first million (like I did )

Keep in touch and I hope to see you out soon, with Beefy and Blitz I hope.

Sad news indeed gav, good luck with the venture, and hope it does well. Anytime you need picking up for a meet, give us a shout, your on the way to meets.
The smacs will soon be about 3 cars full of passengers
Will you be coming to the nbo, or will you have sold it by then?
Hope to see you soon, scooby or not.

Andy - With the introduction of the Cliosport 182 they no longer make the 172 Cup or any equivalent. What Renault have done is allow 182 owners to pay extra for a Cup pack which gives you uprated suspension, tyres and different wheels with another option for a deeper front spoiler and bigger rear spoiler.

When I looked at the difference in price (my cup is pre-registered so I've saved a fortune on the cost of the car) it just didnt make any sense to get a 182, particularly as its slower than the 172 Cup and weighs almost 100 kilos more!

Well Beefy, you'll deffinately be out with us in the wee Clio. I drove a friends cup round some twisties last night and its no slower than the Scoob! Admittedly I have bad shocks at the moment but the way you drive, I should think you'll overtake me in it! I will however shunt you off the road!!!!!!!!


Gav..................where are my golf lessons!!!!!
