After working like a dog saving up for a scooby I finally got a
mint 95 turbo 2 months ago.My question is does anybody under 50
own one of these beasts? I am 25 and Everytime I pass a fellow
scoober the driver is usually middleaged bald and overweight!
Why spent thousands of pounds on mods when losing a couple of
stones would give you at least another 30bhp!!!!!!!!
I look forward to reading your replys!

 

I'm 38 ( Middle Aged ? ) , Bald and overweight according to some.

What's your point ?

 

Yep- 28 with an MY99!!!!!!!!!!

 

probably overweight, certainly not bald tho'!

 

I'm 35 and overweight .... but I have a full head of hair to compensate ....

 

I'm 38 overweight, going thin with bits of grey. What about you then Colin.

Well, I'm knocking 50, bald and only a little overweight. I have driven performance cars for the best part of 30 years and am pleased to be in a position to still enjoy them. Just because we look that way doesn't mean we can't have fun.

Chill out whippersnapper!

 

I'm 26, bald, slightly overweight( I said SLIGHTLY) and i've got a WRX! So we're not all old fat chrome domes!

 

I am not overweight, or bald, or grey or boring or anything else for that matter, but I am 50, and the proud owner of a well modified 96 mint scoob. I have been into cars since my twenties, when my first car was a Mk1 Escort RS1600.

You dont lose interest as you get older, in fact the opposite cos insurance is cheaper and mortgage is paid you can afford more toys.

So Colin, something to look forward to eh!

enjoy a blast in a high performance car.
However I very much dought cars like these will still be around,
sorry again for upsetting the old timers!

I'm 38 going slowly grey but as fit as I was 20 years ago.
But you don't have to be young to enjoy yourself.
And have the ability to indulge in what ever you want without someone other than the other half and 3 kids looking over your shoulder.

I am 33 only a little bit overweight 14 stone and 6ft and going bald (but only half way)maybe old to you but to me i am still 20 especialy when i am in my car.My 99 and not bad for a company car!

 

I don't know if this counts, but, 19 with a Sport Will be Turbo (or something better) when insurance premium comes down a little bit

Colin,
i'm 25 with a 95 wrx as well and i reackon that you see alot of let's just say young at heart scooby driver's because there insurance is alot cheaper then what i'm paying ,plus they know a great car when they see one, nick

 

You got me to a tee. 49 almost 50 going bold, overweight, fat some call it. Brand new Scooby tones of extras. But this bag of sh!te some call a car just don't go fast enough. But I will soon sort that out.
**** stirring old man Bob.

 

you know what... you young'uns have absolutely nothing to look forward too....

so.. chill out.... !!! a great car.. enjoyed by any age... so bloody what...!!! old ... young... just a great car... ...so young man... what exactly was your point.!!!!!
P

 

Well I'm 28 with a MY99 STI5, not bald, not over weight, but have to work shifts to help pay for the car & insurance....(would not have it any other way)

Jason

 

Here goes, 35 yrs old, overweight due to my affairs with Stella and Mrs Massalla, smoke like a bleedin` trooper but i do still have me hair and a 99 type r and a 99 uk ppp and cheap insurance.........
and i still act like i`m 20 anyway......


Paul

 

Im 21, bald. not. But my dad is. Oh dam it might be genetic then. Anyway i love fast cars, and will soon be the proud owner of a car that goes from 0-60 in about 5 secs... I can't decide however what car to go for. Maybe the new impreza. I know most of u are laughing at me but it is actually starting to grow on me. Besides the performance,handling is blistering, so i think i trip to the motor show in October may be in order.

 

I'm 22 and overweight, bought a wrx instead of losing thoose couple of stones.

Cheers

Alec

 

26 definately not overweight sometimes
I think I am the only one!

Jake
MY00 UK

 

20, well covered, and got too much hair!!!

 

34, overweight, thinning just a tad and still like a kid on Xmas day every time I get into my Scoob.

And I've had it for 18 months!!

36 next month, going thin on top more overweight than 3 months ago due to getting married apparently Couldn't be bothered to diet so bought a more powerful Scoob......RB5 Prodrive

Yex

 

So Then Colin, Just to re cap
It appears that you are ageist, hairist and anti-fatty. It must be difficult being perfect.
I am 36 (just), 16 1/2 stone and slight receeding (hair that is). is it OK for me to keep using my car on public roads or should 1 go to a disused airfield at night so's no-one sees me?

On the plus side i do have a winning peersonality and fab in bed even if i do say so myself.

Yex - Good idea. I have now promised myself that i will 'do' the exhaust and filter when i reach 17 stone and the brakes @ 18 stone (looks like i'll need 'em too) how i will ever reach these targets i do not know - anyone for a curry or three?

35 , bald ,maybee pinch an inch , (an old fasioned term from before you were born ) been obsessed with cars since before I could walk , the obsession doesn't go away with age it just changes !!

Pual

I like the idea of being banished to an airfield with my Scooby and linking weight to upgrades - I'll join you for those curries (and maybe a few pints)
