Best ebay listing I've seen in a while

Went to Dunoon this weekend to do the Mother's Day thing. My poor scoob has taken two beatings in one day!!! First of all, my dad was messing about and has dented the drivers wing and it isn't comng out easy Then, later on that night, we had been watching movies at Empty Heed's house. She chucked us out at half 3 sunday morning as she was going to Crail so it was early to bed for us at the parent's house (usually leave hers around half 4). Fell asleep at about 4am, woke up at 4.55am to a lovely French bonfire in our driveway...some wee w***stain decided to get leathered in the pub then take his car for a spin - minus insurance. What ever happened next we are unsure of but this is what we saw from the living room window after mum screamed the house down... The guy had driven off the main road and into our driveway where it looks like he has used an accellerant to set it alight. I ran out the house, mum thought my machinery in my van ie generator had exploded, Vicci thought the subaru had been attacked, and I thought the mondeo (daily driver that we had just parked up an hour before) had blown up. Instead, I found a Saxo alight, flames higher than the trees (and directly under two power lines) and explosions galore, with a guy standing at the bottom looking at the inferno. Scoped him out to be a guy on the way home from work who heard an explosion, came over the brow of the hill and saw a green car wheelspin out the driveway at stupid speeds. Emergency services were called and the police managed to catch the guy pretty quick. Far too close to the house for comfort!! We live in the woods, so any noise outiside is worthy of investigation. The way the wind was blowing, the flames were heading for the van, the van is right beside the scoob if the transit had caught fire, the scoob would have been gone, the house would have got it, and the other 4 cars would have been damaged = complete devastation because of one bloody 19 year old! He was let out Sunday some point. Am sure he came up in another car but when Vicci tried to approach the car (twice) it sped off each time. Now we are left with this in the driveway and cosidering he has no insurance, who knows when it will get taken away. My thought on the matter is to deposit the car off in his own garden with the help of a friend and his recovery truck Happy fecking mothers day!

The only thing half decent about them is that 555 badge

Much thanks to Ally-B, the flywheel fits and is in will need to get the other one back to you soon Thought we had a problem as the car wouldn't fire but it looks like it's just a dodgy wire in the starter motor. All it needs is an MOT and it will be all good for the Highland Fling Thanks again mate, you are a lifesaver

Cheers mate, that's brilliant see you in the morning and fingers crossed by lunch time I have a car that works Car is stuck on the ramp and Paddy's boss needs it shifted by 1pm, time is ticking

Started the clutch on the scoob tonight in my mate's work. Got the gearbox and clutch out and realised the flywheel in my car is uprated and wont fit with the clutch I have. Now the car is stuck in the garage and it has to be out of there by tomorrow, I really need to get hold of one tomorrow morning Any help would do, thanks in advance

Just booked ourselves into the Morefield Motel for £72 for both of us in a double room. Called and spoke to the Royal, they have 2 doubles, 16 twins, 3 singles and 3 triple rooms left, but none with a balcony or four poster so figured I would just go stay where empty-heed and big-bob are booked, seeing as we are all coming up together. ( and i reaaaaaaaaaly wanted a balcony ) Booked in for dinner at the royal with you guys though, and apparently our hotel is only a 15 min walk with lots of taxis available, we can park the cars right outside our room doors so that's good if anyone is interested here is the link: http://www.morefieldmotel.co.uk Getting excited now (obv Vicci and not Gerard, he is still scared of the internet and makes me read everything to him ) am wondering if we are all wearing hawiian gear, that would be a laugh Can't wait, Gerard is fixing the clutch this weekend as the car is starting to feel a bit sorry for itself

Disgusting!!! my thoughts are with you mate, hope you catch the they deserve to be

Ha, just told him of the conversation considering he just pretends he is listening when i am on here, and he snorted through his nose regarding that comparison sounds about right to me.... The wee guy next door was seriously starting to take the pi55, he knew fine well the alarm would wake the dead so decided to speed up going past it everytime, even at 1am . Your other neighbours blame us for all the noise too (keira). At least you can tell now if it burbles, it's more than likely coming to visit you , and if it sounds keech, then it's gotta be for next door....except Kenny's escort only kidding, don't tell him that! Mad as a box of frogs on crack, am still enjoying that

Little ba5tewards!! ragin, eh! Any idea when the last time one of us was up there? Did Bob do a check round his and yours when he got back from Christmas? I put a tenner on the bams that go next door having something to do with it... time for security cameras, no? Did they go for any other stickers, bits of car? Gutted for you dear, I know how sentimental that was

We got snowed in at our house, just as we left to head to dunoon for christmas Live near the naval bases down by helensburgh and even their M.O.D roads are bad. Stay on a huge, bendy hill, considering the scoob is off the road and I'm driving a LWB (empty and VERY light) transit, I didn't fancy my chances and stayed in beside the coal fire!! Think a few christmas deliveries to me have also been missed so people will be getting presents after christmas had great fun hitting the dog with snowballs though Hell, even my mum was out playing with her collie; used the dog's football as a base to roll the head for her snowman and the dog went up the hill, only to come charging back down and right into the 'masterpiece'. Guess she wanted her ball back Snow is great, when you don't need to be anywhere, that is

the one that always goes nailing down Lover's Lane?

Oh no!! Not good is your car ok? Looks not too bad, would think the scoob took the brunt of it My scoob is off the road, driving my new (empty and very light) van just now and have been snowed in over here, meant to be going to Dunoon for Christmas, but that ain't happening today The hill we live on is all fresh snow and really steep, no one has dared try and get up to the houses yet, so I'm not taking my chances trying to slide down it!! I can't even play with the subaru when I reaaaaaaly want to Hope you get your car sorted, is the scooby driver on SIDC? Car looks familiar...

The blue Oz Allegeta gets my vote And I agree with getting blue graphics, I will finally be able to tell in a split second what silver wagon of yours I see takes me a minute to register, even now lol

Did you get it fixed yet bob? what a pain in the a55, and I've got it aaaaall to look forward to...

Gutted we missed it but so pleased with the turnout, well done to everyone involved. Just goes to show that a little off of everybody goes a long way to making children smile when they need it. Well done again, you lot would bring a tear to a glass eye! Next year, the scoob WILL be on the road for Santa Cruise and it will come with bells on and a dog dressed in a santa suit!!

He he, yeah but it sounds like it's dying when you push it that much, gotta be in 2nd gear two thirds of the way up. Ridiculous just put a new engine in it, not sure if the new one is rubbish or I'm just too used to driving the impreza now....feels like you are on the slow boat to China trying to go anywhere!! The only bonus is £15 will get you a lot further in the diesel, you just have to leave half an hour earlier Btw, what happened to your poor black scoob? hope you weren't injured in the smash looks pretty gubbed!

I hit a flood on the military road last week and completely spun out in the scoob, was full of the flu going into town to pick Vicci up, shouldn't have been driving (wanted to be sleeping!) thought I was going a wee detour off the edge for a bit before I caught it and came to a stop. Spun about 3 times, but the car was fine thankfully. I've crashed a few in my time but am terrified about wreckin the scoob, that's it off the road now until we get the clutch sorted and re-MOT it, so if you see a blue pug 306 passing you and waving frantically, it will be us 30mph up the Peaton Hill, god it hurts!!

Sorry to hear that James, little bastewards!! Hope you catch them Had my wee pug daily driver damaged a few months ago in a village, my mate saw some neddy lassie walk up to my car and kick it with all her might. We got a call when we were on way to dunoon in the scoob, good thing or we would have been out on the hunt for her!! called the police who managed to get her sent to the childrens panel (due to witnesses)but even the nice copper told me they would just want to "support" her. We were told she is always out drinking on a friday night (that's when it happened) so needless to say we went a wee drive the next weekend. If we had found her I (female half of tingtong ) wouldn't have been responsible for my actions!! We brought that car from Germany after doing a 3000 mile road trip from my sisters; it has sentimental value like the scoob even though it's a diesel Anyway, hope you catch the little feckers, they deserve eveything they get!! Fingers crossed for you that it doesn't cost too much either...

Slid out at on the Arden roundabout near helensburgh yesterday in mum's vectra estate. Was going normal slow speed for the roundabout but pulled the wheel a bit harshly and away we went never even got a fright when it happened, I just fixed it and went on my way. Was about 3 seconds after i reclaimed my steering that i realised what i had done and how lucky the mazda trying to pull out in front of me was!! Gerard has decided the vectra needs new tyres went all slow the rest of the way to the airport and back again, feart of the mother in law's response if i pranged her baby

Hiya Welcome to the club, hope you get many years of satisfaction out of your scoob and we will see you at a meet sometime

Ha, we were met with a wee skyskrapin hat wearing 1 litre corsa driving guy at the slip from the erskine bridge yesterday. Considering we were doing the speed limit, he came right up our ar*e and Gerard couldn't help but slow right down (there was no-one else on the motorway) in the fast lane to make the wee guy would have to change gears , then he slowly (for the scoob) pulled away and left him for dust when he wasn't even trying. Went to pull off at the airport and he was trying to catch up, flashing his lights etc, not sure if it was because he was angry or happy to hear the burble i hope it was the first, love to wind folk up that'll teach him And, for the record, it would appear I get more eejits trying to race me (Ms tong) than the man of the house does. Maybe it's just I give them a chance every now and then whereas he is always going at the speed of light!!
