I was in Torquay - the only Scoob I saw the whole weekend was on the A30/303 about 5 mins before the M5.

Have spent 3 hours cleaning the baby this afternoon - expecting it to pee down tonight - Garage is full

The Shell Garage in between Torquay + Paignton has no Optimax luckily I found one that did.

Edited to confirm that the seats aren't the most comfortable in the world on a long run, but hey comfort/**** car or mildly uncomfortable/scooby ?

[Apologies if this is the wrong forum]

After 3 weeks of faffing around I finally got the MY01 on a long run to Devon Fri am returning late last night.

If I've had as much fun with a totally unmodded version as I've had over the last couple of days what am I going to be like when I get around to modding it ?

Drove faster than I'd ever been before (on private roads of course Mr Plod), the handling and performance are awesome around country lanes and up hills. Cruised along seafronts. Strikes me that there can't be many Scoobs down west judging by the admiring looks (although I suppose that might not have been the car !!!)

Never had any doubts that I'd bought a beaut and finally had the chance to prove it.

Payback time today as the car is filthy. Two washes and plenty of TLC to come this morning.

Took mine(my01)for a longish blast yesterday aswell,220 mls every one enjoyable.But must say me bucket seats are not to comfortable after an hour or so,can you buy lumbar supports that vellcro on the the seat?Now just going back out the put another 40 quids worth of Optimax in the tank ouch!!If she gave me a penny for every time she said "f**kin slow down" I would have me petrol money for free!!Hee He.

 

EBR,
Which part of Devon did you go to?
Blooscoob

 

That could've been me!

I popped down to TQ this weekend in my bug-eyed WRX. Drove past the sea-front and got the youngsters' attention before spending a few hours doing my own admiring in Appleby's

Bryn.

 

Nope deffo older than a bug-eye - but did u see any others on the road over the weekend ? And god don't they drive slow (normal) down there. Next time I going to take a flask for the roundabouts lol.

 

Way too sloow!

Speaking of slow, in the 7 weeks that I've had my scooby, I keep more of an eye open for other owners. Every one I've seen on a motorway just sits in the slow lane at a steady 60mph. What's that all about?? It's supposed to be a 'drivers' car!
