fast-bits-chloe Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 << << So you think I'd be better forgetting about my scooby for another couple of years If I do that then I could go straight for the turbo ..... ohhhhh what a decision to have to make. I'm dying on getting my scoob, but I'm trying to be sensible about it which is hard cos my heart is kinda ruling my head !! >> to be honest i would put the turbo on the back burner just now and save like a demon for another wee while. Get the sport, still bags of fun to be had, even on the light modding front But then again the choice is entirely yours, you know what your financial constraints are and as has been said many a time..........listen to your head not your heart. Your time will come, might just take a tad longer than expected Remember............a scooby is for life not just christmas!!!! >> Haha !! I know I need to be sensible about this ............ it's just such a minefield out there when basically I know very little Thank everyone for your help so far .......... any other chickadees on here from my area ??
FastScooby Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 could let mine go as well if the price was right
fai17 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 First work out what you can afford monthly. Then if finance allows get a turbo if you can but take your time and learn how to drive her. The SPORT is a very good start to the realms of the scooby ownership. Take care and take your time buying the car you want. Glasgow meet(tonight) at Hillington if you want to come along
G.T. Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 insurance will probably be the biggest killer ruby the scooby has a sport and i think you could safely say she loves it buy shares in shell
fast-bits-chloe Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 << insurance will probably be the biggest killer ruby the scooby has a sport and i think you could safely say she loves it buy shares in shell >> Oh no ......... the more I look at this thread, the more I think I'm doing the wrong thing Ruby the scooby, where does she come from?? It would be nice to speak to a female scooby driver No offence lads your advice is much appreciated
fai17 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 You'll see her on here every night ...just wait till tonight and she'll answer some questions.
G.T. Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 i think ruby is from grangemouth not totaly sure about that though you should get a few insurance quotes 1st bell admiral and elephant are probably the most common ones then you will know wether you will be able to afford it or not
ScoobyAndy Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Morning Chloe. Welcome to the nut house. Rubythecooby comes from Grangemouth, no doubt she'll appear very shortly As with the advice.. at 19 id stick with the sport too, not go the get up and go of a turbo but will still keep up with them once you work out how to drive it properly and the running costs will be lower. Unless of course that youve got a family memeber willing to be very nice to you and insure it through them Get yourself along to the lothians meet next tuesday, its only along at ratho. Andy
colinj Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Damn Ive just sold mine....would have let you have it for £6k aswell

colinj Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 hahaha nah im not a chancer, well okay maybe for £6k I would have been I just sold mine for the exact reason your worried about buying. Im about 40 miles to work & back every day then trip to girlfriends a few times a week, shes about 15 miles away then just going random drives was leaving me skint, so sodly for now at least I need a 40-50mpg 12k a service car!! I will be back though I was 21 when I got mine so there may be hope for you yet My advice - try to get the newest lowest mileage standard (cosmetic mods ok) UK car you can with full dealer service!! Keep it that way cos when you mod them they cost even more!! Theres loads available so choose wisly

Ha ha listen to me, wait till friday night comes and The Twig and Ratt are beconing we'll see how much will power I have then !!! Joking aside, I'm busy getting a few ins. quotes etc ..........I've been told there's a nice Scooby in Kaim Park garage in Bathgate at the moment, so gonna pop along later and have a wee look

Don't know what to expect for £6000
colinj Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 To give you an idea of what you can get for your money, this was mine until 2 days ago. Sold it for £4k so for £6k you could easily get something like it but newer, just gotta keep an eye on whats for sale! http://snap25.photobox.co.uk/44422786ee821...f4a97fa679c.jpg http://img.photobox.co.uk/20663401377fe585...ad998ca0ff9ee38 b5f7dfbbaa2a.jpg http://snap25.photobox.co.uk/02765993e2740...bf85023149b0fb0 8761ed50b45507f.jpg http://img.photobox.co.uk/86699822b4eb4fdb...8e9cf9849d31917 6b84ba553be8.jpg http://img.photobox.co.uk/77718111f5461fa5...ad9aa3302cfe32c 9ea336b57526.jpg http://img.photobox.co.uk/11860982ccb0f8b1...25a5fd11a42145d b2d5443adf6d.jpg http://snap24.photobox.co.uk/133287306f917...3887fe0d4b1ef87 0b16e69ed07174e.jpg http://snap20.photobox.co.uk/9210657812828...5e0a5892d8adac7 458372aa169e9b8.jpg + it gives me a chance to post pics of my car again.....oft its sorely missed already
