After that nasty metal pole backed into me in my work car park a few weeks back (I was there, I saw it getting closer and closer through the back window!) which chipped and cracked the paint to around the diameter of a coffee mug, I'm finally getting it back from the bodywork shop today. Woohoo! Gutted I missed the Jap meet though although it will be nice not to drive my dads boring Corolla anymore! I saw one of those Halfords adverts on during the break on top gear where it gives the impression you just turn up and they do a quick spray job and then big bash bosh - good as new etc... How wrong was I? They actually use external local companies to come down to the store and do the work and for my scuff I was told it would be at least a 3-4 week wait and it would cost bottom line £150! Yikes. I thought surely there isn't that many other people like me who are rubbish at parking? Just as I was leaving the store to look elsewhere ther spotty Halfrauds employee ushered me into a corner and put a piece of paper in my top pocket with a phone number on which belonged to "his mate Dave" who runs a bodywork/spray shop and could do it at half the price. As sceptical as I was I thought I'd give it a try and I was suprised not to find some 18 year old greasemonkey cowboy type but actually a really nice guy who has been in the business for quite some time. He quoted me £80 and I have only had to wait a week and a half before getting the scoob in there so I'm looking forward to seeing the results this evening! If I'm happy with the result I'll post the guys details on here is case anyone else needs anything done locally. I've got some blue dashboard LED's to put in this weekend too so I'm really looking forward to getting that sorted too.

Nevermind, lets hope the weather is nicer next time. Glad you didn't end up on the roof of PC world

Shame the rain seemed to put most people off turning up. I shall be there next time you mark my words! Did anyone get any pics?

I see! So now you've seen mine and I've seen yours

I was in Chaversham on Saturday - is that when you saw me? Were you in yours?

Nooooooooo! Dammit I really wanted to come along this time but my scoob is going into the paint shop tonight to repair bumper damage after an evil metal post reversed into me (not the other way around...) I think me and meets just aren't meant to be Please someone take lots of pics tonight and post them asap! Hope lots of scoobs turn up

Cool. At least I'll know your car this time!

I'm definately going to the Jap meet on Tuesday! You going? Will bring my camera too if I remember.

Oh no! I had a feeling it might have been. Any idea of the date/location of the next meet?

Definately, I'll look forward to it! Nice pictures there! Which car belongs to who? The one in the middle was still there when I got there but I couldn't see the owner!

I'm from just outside of Reading so not too far. Yea I will definately be at the next one and hopefully before it finishes too! Anyone get any pictures?

Dammit - I got severely held up and didn't get there until 3.30! I only saw one scoob there (dark blue non turbo), but couldn't make out who it belonged to as the place was pretty busy so I went home but had a nice drive there and back anyway! I saw a gorgeous scoob behind me on the way back going down the bath road. Was a Blue WRX STI. Was it anyone from here? Mine is a noisy black WRX turbo. Did many people turn up? Lovely day for it!

7pm

Excellent, I'm quite looking forward to this now! Chris

Hey Mike I may be up for going if you are! Ive always wondered what the crack was with this one. Anyone else going?

Hmm I do quite fancy a mid level spoiler

Pics as promised

My one has just been described as darth vader on wheels too - how freaky is that!

Thanks Kylie nice to meet ya! You know what I think I just might make it along

I'm the proud father of a 1993 WRX turbo in midnight black Pictures will be here soon! How about yourself?

Can anyone turn up? If you don't mind a newbie there then count me in!

Hi guys Just got my first scooby and I'm absolutely chuffed to bits with her - pictures to follow soon! Anyone else from Reading/Woodley/Winnersh area? Be cool to meet like minded individuals!

Waggons aren't really for me, but I'm sure when I get myself a dog I'll need a bigger back end to keep it in Well assuming all is good tonight the should be a new scooby on the block in Reading! It better be good the distance I'm travelling to see it...

Here there, I'm in Reading and I too am a new member. I don't have my scooby just yet but I have a few to look at over this week but after taking so long to sell my MR2 I'm raring to get my first scooby like a kid in a toy shop! Ive posted on the general forum too about this but if anyone can reccomend a good insurance company I would bevery grateful! Also - if you're a Berkshire local and you have a turbo for sale (not waggon) then send me a message and let me know as I havent decided on one just yet. Cheers
