Hi there,i had a test drive in a 98 turbo this morning and bought it,pick it up Wednesday.But i have found myself grinning uncontrollably this afternoon!!!!!!! Is this normal? Also have you any tips on keeping my license in something so fast? Perhaps a brick under the throttle pedal?

DreXeL

Yes it's normal, it's called the 'Scooby Grin' When it starts to wear off, you may find the modding bug biting. It's a slippery slope........

Bought mine 18 months ago and still got 'THE SCOOBY GRIN'
(mind you - have had a few mods too !!)
You won't regret it m8
Make sure you stick to the speed limits ;0)

Sticky Stuff

Probably the best decision I ever made. Agonised over it for 6 months, because surely they couldn't be THAT MUCH quicker than my V6 Mondingo (PILL*CK!!!!)
Went on a test drive, glanced at the speedo expecting to see 75-80, was doing 120, bought the car there and then. bye bye Ford.

For legal reasons the above stated figures are in KPH and were performed on a private road ;-)

BTW, Whereabouts in W/Yorks? I'm Wakefield area.

Jap Imports

Every time i see a customer out the door in there new scooby they all grin.

Best thing for your licence is to get a Snooper S6 NEO, Whitch we sell at about £469INC VAT.

Get one now, or dont moan when u have points on your licence

Got my WRX wagon 14 months ago, every journey has been a joy since. Stick to 30 and 40 limits like your life depends on it and boot it every where else.

In Reply to RJI,

Is the Snooper S6 NEO, the best or just what you sell? I am not having a go at you, I would just be interested to hear from someone in the trade.

Jap Imports

Well we haven't sold them for long but out of the Road Angel and Snooper S6 Neo i think the snooper is the better All rounder.
We do sell all the snoopers from bottom of the range up, but dont really get any demand for the road angel.(not saying road angel is not good cause it is still a good detector)

To RJP

Thanks for the info, I've not been able to make up my mind about them, what about Origen Blue?

Jap Imports

Dont know anything on them so cant say really, But in my eyes i would go for the S6. But the Choice is yours my friend.

If you did want one i can normally do them cheaper than Halford's and places like that

augustus

Should have been RJI of course. What is the best anti detection device?

Jap Imports

Anti-Detector-- as in a radar blocker so the camera's cant detect you.

augustus

No, just the best warning device

IN THE STICKS

Remember to wave to other Scoobies !!

Jap Imports

Well obvoiously not being able to try them all, The S6 i think, it dispays the road name of what road you are on, what speed zone you are in, what speed you are doing, how far+ what type of camera is up ahead, and aload more stuff.

augustus

To RJI,

Thanks for your knowledge, I guess I will go with the Snooper. In the Sticks is right though, we need to have a well recognised warning sign amongst us!

Perfectly normal. Welcome to the mad world of scooby ownership.

I drove my scooby off the drive so i could get the other car out and had the scooby grin for all of 10sec's

wrxmark

Ahh that feeling. I still get it its ****ing great init!!! Welcome to Scooby ownership

akshay67

Sounds odd. Check that you are not sitting on something left on the drivers seat like a mobile phone.

16vmarc

Ive had mine 2 months now and even other people grin when they see me!!!

Pogue

Just never sell it unless it's for another Scoob. I have the scooby scowl cos I sold my Scoob 3 weeks ago and wish Ihadn't.

I spend my spare time now going to Scooby dealers and drooling, and wishing

I'm off now for a cry

quicksprint

Welcome
The first thing i would recommend is fit some sort of radar/laser/speed camera detection device.There is plenty of advice and info on here...just do a search.

The grin factor starts the moment you turn the key and the flat four bursts into life.
