Smile Nice to be back

Alright guys been a while, but not been the same man since selling my last scooby! So went and viewed a classic and one go made me fall in love with them all over again! Can't explain the smile factor but im sure you guys know what i mean every time boost kicks in LOL will say its a bit crazy half white half black and some expensive paint job with lightening on the back end but bought it for the smile factor which i've so so missed!! Also missed the grub down toby

Welcome home.

Your not the first & certainly not the last to sell one on only to purchase another so soon.

Nice one, let the grin never fade!

At the end of the day buddy cars are a personal choice and if this is what you like then good on you bugger every one else and the people from across the border who put it down. If they dont like it don't look or comment, let the guy enjoy his buzz of being back in a scoob! The paint aint to my taste but with all the work that has be done to it I probably would of also bought it, the car is oooooozing potential at the end of the day its only paint and can easily be changed, it aint like somebody has cut the roof off to make a convertible. Enjoy your motor buddy like you say atleast its unique and not a clone!

They are well respected so happy days
