Default Lack of Scoobies

Last thursday I drove from South Wales to Uxbridge and back via Oxford and in the 296 miles I covered I saw only one Scooby.

A dark blue Turbo 2000 (i think) somewhere between Swindon and Reading on the M4. I got a friendly wave though.

Anyway my point is i was amazed i didn't see more.


Sorry to sound like an anorak but something more amazing happened that day.
When I got on the M4 in Newport, south wales, I got the car up to fith gear and didn't need to change down until I got off the the Heathrow junction.

122.5 miles and no gear change which meant no jams, no queues no roadworks .

I need to get out more i think

Many times i have driven from Hull to Aberdeen and back nearly 800 miles i could count the amount of scoobs spotted on one hand But once you get into Aberdeen then thats all you see particularly blasting up and down Union Street

Theres flipping loads of scoobys in Reading. I cant drive anywhere without seeing at least one. Dont usually get a wave. Waves most of the time come from newage owners.

Ten a penny here in Leeds, in all shapes and variations! On Saturday I saw a WR1. There's a black blobeye STi in my works' car park right now too. Loads of classics about..... They're everywhere!

That will be one of the nice things about getting myself a Bugeye in January, you don't see many of those

There's a few in South London but don't tend to see them too often. And even when I do it's unfortunately with misreable looking drivers who cannot be asked to .....
