Any Scooby owners in the Dumfries & Galloway area?

I dont stay there as such but do visit Dumfries every day, pick up from Gates Power and would say that there doesn't seem to be any more or less Impreza's than other places, saying that there is a beautiful import Series McRae out at Lochmaben, next to the Glanbia. One day is saw the guy herd cattle with it, by far the strangest use of a Scoob i have ever seen

I will say that Dumfries and Galloway has some of the best driving roads in the UK but has the sneakiest traffic cops, 9 points on my licence and not one of them to do with the Subaru, and some of the most dittery, stupidist, ignorant and downright should be in a nursing home, old farts in the whole world

3 favourite roads in D+G

Lockerbie to Eskdalemuir

Eskdalemuir to Langholm

Langholm to Lockerbie

When the Shell garage was at Lockerbie i done that triangle four times burning a full tank, back to Lockerbie to fill up then home............................. Awesome

Yeah its weird but according to Top Gear, D+G and Shetland have the highest concentration of Scoobys in the UK!

One more when I import my new beast back!

Your right about the roads, we have some great roads for blasting down!

And the cops, yeah I totally agree! B*stards gave me 3 points!

The chap that I bought my H&S bb was from Dumfries and we met outside the Subaru dealership (which is no longer there).

He had a green classic with 555 on the plate. We are talking 3 1/2 years ago though.

Impreza's are common as muck where I live (a wee town in North Ayrshire).

There are four in my street, and seven in my housing estate. I've no idea how many in the town but I see them everywhere.

Im from dumfries. There are 7-8 scoobs in town. Dont really know any of them that well. Not sure if they are members of sidc. Never seen any of them at track days etc

I do agree about our fantastic roads. The a701 ' devils beeftub' road to edinburgh is always fun. And bikers always on that road in the summer to play with. Its a great warm up for knockhill

We do have some shocking drivers though, esp on the a75. Always some old fart in a nissan micra causing a 2mile long traffic jam

If you see a DHL van flashing you then its me saying hello, she may be a delivery van but she will give most cars the heeby-geebies over the twisties

Im heading down your way on the 5th of December for the Galloway Hills rally and to scout out some new roads/stops for another run in the country, might see you about

Based around Castle Douglas and uses a lot of the Scottish rally stages. It usually attracts a lot of the Irish boys in thier WR machinary. Service area last year was at Wallaces market in C.D, we could all rendezvous here to head to the stages. Last year was very cold so wrap up super well

Me and Scoobay are meeting up prior to heading down at Dalry
