Scooby Pete

Jay you from the Toon? Had a memorable night at the Baja Club it was about 15 years ago though. Drove from London to Newcastle in my Pug 205 Gti. Took me about 8 hours as the tracking was bad and the car shook itself to bits if you went over 60mph

TBH the cost of living looks fairly similar: Average UK salary is £2166.66 £26,000 per year Rent is Prob a bit more especially In the south of England and around London Shell V Power is about £1.44 where I live Tax and Insurance look pretty much the same. Although in the UK it will vary quite a bit depending on Location. Always found Switzerland to be a beautiful place.

some nice touches inside the cab. Love the Flocked Dash :)

I understand where TG were coming from, for a while it seemed the the scoob was the choice car of the boy racers making the progress from the Saxos and 106's taking over from the Ford Escort RS turbos. If they could get insured that is. Most had loud exhausts and dump valves and were driven to make use of them. Now thankfully they all seem to be going down the Honda civic type R route. Having said that I have noticed that in my area west London (Heathrow) the classic scooby seems to be pretty popular with young Asian's. Where as the latter Blob Hawk and shark eye seem to be 30+ white people. Still see a few mums in wagons of all styles, and the odd foz which again are 30+ white. On the whole most people seem to like scoobs, I get comments fairly regularly like nice car ect when out in mine. Don't seem to get hassled by Beemers or Audis as the hatch is pretty stealthy compared to a Blue saloon :) Wouldn't say they ever were yobs. Too expensive to insure for anyone under 30. Unless daddy pays for it. Just cars owned by enthusiasts who drove the cars in the spirt of Colin and Richard, ok that may have sideways every now and then but that's what the cars are about, not motorway rep cars.

Hmm some one won the lottery is been reserved. Haven't checked my ticket yet though

if it were mine it would be a garage queen with a few weekend outings when the weather was good.

The origianl BBS wheels and Exhaust are included in the 35k asking price. As we always said in Dixons RTFM Read the F-ing Manual or in this case RTFA Read the F-ing Advert!

Oh I nearly died twice in that car, forgot to mention the brakes were about as good as the clutch and required pumping to make the car stop. If that didn't work a handy lamppost or stationary car would have have stopped the car and very nearly did :D

WhanI was younger back in the 90's I had a real rust heap of a mini Clubman that I had run into the ground, it was so bad you could reach through the floor in the boot and touch the pavement, also the exhaust leaked really badly and carbon monoxide filled the cab after about 20 mins of driving. Lastly the clutch was so bad you had to pump it like the brakes to get any presure to move the clutch. The car was a death trap so I took to a scrap yard for scraping. 2 weeks later saw it on the side of the road for £450 with a 6 month MOT!!!! Uness they did a full resto that car didn't have ahope of passing, so they must have done a dodgey MOT for it to sell on. Hope no one bought it.

deffo getting a Euromillions ticket tomorrow!!! 22b is one of the 1st cars on my Lottery win wish list, just beaten out by the DB5 and E-Type.

They should have put the orignal BBS wheels on for the pics, it looks wierd with the speedlines on.

22B for Sale. Premium price of 35K though http://www.xtreme-uk.net/performance-cars/detail.asp?ID=489

Posted on Surrey Scoobies & South East Scoobies as well, you never know.

When I had the scoob I changed all the bulbs in the binnacle and the controls for Blue Led bulbs. Changed the amostphere in the car completely.

Big Dredd Fan here read the comics as a kid. Suffered through the Stallone 90's Dredd. Loved Karl Urbans Dredd, pretty much just lifted him off the comic book page. Got him Spot on. It's a travisty that crap like Hansel and Grettle, Saw, Final destination get sequels and Dredd doesn't. If you want a dredd sequel click the link below and sign up. If you don't want a sequel click and sign up anyway. www.2000adonline.com/dreddsequel

I have tought about getting some of this: http://www.evanscoolants.co.uk/Powersports.html Coolant you dont nned to change also has higher boiling point and a lower freezing temp.

Your right Bouncer. It's an expansion tank not a header tank so it shouldn't be full of water when cold. Best way to refill is use about 7.5 litres of coolant to refill.

I know it has hill start but that lights up when in use :p, I'm not talking about hills or even multistory car parks. I'm talking about stopping at junctions and lights with slight inclines, when stopped I ease off the brakes and the car stays where it is. The cars take a lot to get them moving have you ever tried to push yours on your own? The resistance in the drive train is enough to hold the car on slight inclines.

I have found that the car doesn't roll as much as RWD and FWD cars. I have sat on a few gentle slopes with out rolling. Not a great idea though really should use the hand Brake :)

Are the Turbos sequential? Ie one goes to full Boost then the other takes over or do they work in Tandem? Reason I ask is if they work in Tandem puting a BOV on one Turbo and not the other may unbalance the system and mean the one with the BOV won't spool up as quickly as the Recirc one???? I may be talking Poodoo???

welcome to the mad house :)

The Trike is Mental, should put that into production I'd buy one :)

There not Morette the bowls for the lights are too small. They were a cheaper copy, prob harder to find than originals lol. You can buy the real things here http://moretteshop.dyndns.biz/index.php?cPath=49_147

If you have all the top mounts bits great its easy, but if you don't you'll need quite a few bits. Brackets, top mount, y pipe, dump valve adapter or recirc + piping. Then theres the cut out in the bumper and holes in that allowed the fmic pipes through. Maybe it's just me? Seems a lot of hassle to return to stock, when if you don't like the car that much, sell it and get one more to your liking. But then I can't be arsed with all the crawling around under the car these days. Which is why mines stock :D

Welcome, might be worth giving http://www.keithmichaels.co.uk/ a go I've used them for nearly 12 years.
