Going to work last week I was slowly approaching a roundabout and noticed this little boy running next to the car pointing frantically and yelling to his (totally disinterested mate) he's yelling ...look...look... it's one of them cars....

today I see him again on the cross walk (a bit further up from said roundabout)... half way across he starts leaping up and down yelling and pointing... it's one of those cars...

no guesses for what he's going to buy when he's old enough...

it was soooo cute....

I had sum nova driving cap wearing boy racer pearing over his shoulder when he heard mine rumble up & i reckon by his dribbling he wanted 1 n allHe wishes, lol

My best story...

I'm driving to a friends house, with 3 female friends in the car.

We over take a couple of cars in Kingston as we head up to north London from Surrey. One of the girls (now my girlfriend) mention that everyone is looking at "Andy and his bitches".

I corrected them and said "They're looking at the car!"

She now realises that it *IS* the car!!!

 

Heh, I was parking in a supermarket car park at lunchtime and a crowd of school kids walked in front of me, just a little ways ahead, and as I passed they all gave me the thumbs up

I saw them in the supermarket and they were kicking up hell as kids do. Nice to know that the little buggers appreciate a nice car

 

Had a great one. Shortly after I moved in to my new house and bought the Scoob, I was pulling into the street, and there were these kids (about 8/9) came up to me as I got out the car...

kids, "Aw mister, thats a cool car, how quick is it?"

me, "Its quite fast, hits 60mph in about 5.5 to 6 sec"

kids (excitedly), "Cor blimey - its got one of them valve dumps too hasn't it?"

valve dump - lol - made me laugh Guess they'll be getting an RS Turbo when they grow up then (maybe even a scoob by then as prices come even lower ) lol.

 

I had a bloke go mental at me when I set his car alarm off with my exhaust!

Not really admiring the car, more of the 'f*ck off you noisy c**t' sort of thing!

BTW - Check out Private, my BB is up for grabs

Sometimes if I manage to leave work early there's usually a group of kids that play near the end of our road. As I pull into the road there's always one that insists it *is* a turbo and another one that says it isn't!

They're only about 6 yrs old too, cuuuute It's like having a little fan club or something!

Nice Plug POC

 

 

POC - my bike sets car alarms off all the time, and the cans aren't that loud compared to some race systems.

Hitting the kill-switch can set off 3 or 4 if they're parked close enough, plus you get two 2-foot flames for your troubles...

Whip

 

ohhh nice!

Bet its not as loud as my car though

 

Tell me more....

I deliberately got not-that-loud cans as I can do without the headaches on long journeys, but having stood 10 feet behind my bike on the dyno I can only liken the volume to a 747 on takeoff F**K*N LOUD on full chat m8! Haven't had the pleasure of hearing a scooby on the dyno as yet though...

Whip

 

My car ran on the Dyno at PE on sat the 17th..... it was erm, interestingly loud!

I just love the sound a bike makes when it has a decent can on it.... you can feel it in ya chest!

Did I mention that my BB is up for grabs in the private section?

P

 

i'm only 18..insurance reasons cant afford a scoob!

we worship you guys.. give u a wave..thumbs up!!!

still do ANYTHING for a ride in a scoob at a track day
i'll even pay

 

£50 and I will give you a decent high speed run to the post office

POC

[Hijack thread 0n]

I had mine power checked a couple of weeks back at PE. Merv was telling me about an ex Le Mans Ferrari he had on the rollers. They had to close all of the shutters down as it was so loud and the thing was throwing four foot flames out the back

Had to shut the rolling road down in the end because the car was too powerful.

{hijack thread off]

WOW - that would be a sight eh!

Those cars are very impressive!

BBQ time!

P

 

How about 50p POC?, for a run at some distant future track meet?

 

LOL I would loose that much in fuel just pulling out of the pits!!

I will give you a run for nout matey

When I start participating in track days

P

 

Cheers

Any other offers??

Pref 22B or P1????

 

POC - like the look of the backbox, haven't seen one of those before. What's all that on the website about the inserts? Can you quieten it a bit?

I'm after a new BB at the mo but want something that's ok at motorway speeds.

The bike is a VTR, basically a 1-litre sports V-twin. There's nothing like a good V-twin...stirs the soul!

Whip

 

fine sod ya!

22b my ****



P

 

Yes Whip, the BB comes with a bug to quieten it down for motorway runs etc....

It makes an amazing sound matey.... you got a A1 condition scoobysport BB?

Mail me on pauloconnoruk@hotmail.com

Cheers

Paul

 

Nah mate, I have a P1 BB at the moment. A scoobysport would be nice tho...or a magnex...or...or....

Whip

 

I'm always getting admiring glances from all sorts of drivers. Not come up against any 'Caps' yet tho.

One thing I can say ..... I get a lot more respect from our "2 wheeled speed freak friends", especially on M-ways :-)

Respect back.

Driving through Bristol the other week and these two blokes in a "Eunos Roadster" (imported hairdryer on wheels) with the hood down kept looking over their shoulder and chatting to each other about my Scoob. Thought it would be rude if I didn't blast past them at some point - don't like to disappoint!!

LOL - We are sad bragging about impressing the less fortunate with our cars....

 

Some people don't appreciate them. Our secretary phoned me this morning asking if I could move my car.........why I asked?(I wasn't blocking anybody in)..........yours is a Renault isn't it! Doh!!
