IN THE STICKS

Just thinking about the things I do and know a lot of you out there do also ,like..
1. Taking up 2 parking spaces
2. Not going over 3000 revs untill shes warmed up
3. Cooling her down in the motorway petrol station
4. Not going anywhere near Tescos car park
5. Too much polishing / wheel cleaning
6. Waving to other Scoobies
7. Not letting my daughter eat crisps in the back
Etc
Etc
Etc......
Any more thoughts ?

Getting paranoid when the wife says she will put some petrol in it <shudder>

add the tip of smoking in the scooby while thinking about the *** dust blow back into car!

TREV

If i spend more than 10 seconds in anywhere, come out and walk round the scoob to see if any ****** has scratched it. Or as happened once someone stuck cardboard up my exhaust. BA*$$*&S

LOL, if you lot could see the state of my interior after the wife and two kids have been in there

Zeolite

Slapping a set of forest racers on and taking on the dirt track racers on a 1 mile circuit over a stubble field. It happened!

See autocross scoob in Scotland section.

lol, I thought only I was mad enough to use two parking spaces (after someone reversed into it in the carpark at work on the FIRST day I bought it!!)

BOB.T

Yeah, two of them bad boys should be just about enough

IN THE STICKS

Some people think I'm mad ,but it's comforting to know i'm not alone

"If you have a daughter then why are you not using parent/child parking spaces m8"

Probably because some dumb bint in a 4X4 she can't drive properly will scrape it on the way in, bang her doors into it when she and her brood get out, then after doing her shopping will let her kids swing off your spoiler.
If anyone even looks at my car wrong I'm ready to let rip!

elgordano

i do that with all my cars !!

Not at all, I dont:

1. Let the kids drink or eat in the car unless its a long journey and said food / drink is 'safe'

2. Let the missus use the car when the petrol gauge is below 3/4

3. Park in public carparks unless I have the kids with me, then I use the parent bays (especially so at Sainsburys!)

4. Allow the missus to drive the car unless point 2 is satisfied or I'm pished

5. Allow the missus to parallel park the car (especially if theres a curb within 5 miles!!)

6. Let the kids wash the car

7. Let the missus put the car through a car wash

8. Let the missus drive the car on her own unless its to come and pick me up from the pub pished!!

Edited to say:

9. Park in the multi-storey unless I park between 2 other cars who are also season ticket holders (as they are likely to stay there all day and protect each side of my car from the miriad of shoppers who dont give a flying ****)

messiah

spend a full weekend cleaning and waxing, and then... the fear of running out of bits to clean...

iDLe*

Peeps on here go way over the top on their cars...

I don't like driving hard after washing my car for a few days, don't like to get the rims messed up. But this is on any car I have driven so not just the scoobs. Taking the wheels off and doing this and that, all this nonense with fuel and RON and which wax and blah blah is all totaly b*llox!

TurboKitty

Scooby96, with that attitude, I am glad my Scoob is mine so I don't need to drive anyone else's.

If any bloke treated me like that, I'd ditch him.

By the way, why specify that your gf is not allowed to put the car through the car wash. Are you implying that this is something you do?

Way too **** - jeez peeps its just a car, and a cheap Jap one at that!!

Sith

Mine hasn't been washed since Jan. I go for the used / Rally look.

ethanr

Whats this about lettin the woman drive ya scoobies,Are you all mad,I asked my other half to move mine ten foot down the drive so i could wash her fiesta and not spray crap all over mine and what happens.............. Nice long scratch down the o/s rear wing where she caught the gate post,now i ask you her fiesta is totally mint, not a blemish on it after six months so why did she feel the need to destroy my scooby the first time she steps foot in the drivin seat..........................

Scooby96

TK - I was being sarcastic, she doesnt like driving it anyway as its tooooooo loud

I dont like driving her Daewoo Esate !!!

As for the car wash comment - I had my MR2 T damaged by a car wash (Shell St Johns Rd Tunbridge Wells) so avoid them like the plague, however I dont think my gf has ever hand washed a car in her entire life.

Plus she admits she cant parallel park!

black knight

always maintained the rally look for last 2 scoobs.

had someone scribbled 'clean me'. didnt really care for the appearance coz bought it for the drive.

anyway, was paranoid in letting ppl smoke or eat inthe car though.

TurboKitty

In that case ditch her. She obviously has no taste!
