Well so much for Flybe saving us..... I now work in Turkey. Commute home and the Scooby does all of 600 miles a year. I'll be commuting for work for the next 20 years now.....bummer.

Good points. I drove cross the UK the other week, and saw maybe two scoobies all day long. On the Island, I can't drive anywhere without at least half a dozen going past me. This place is crawling with Imprezas of all ages, well, not many Hatches but that's no bad thing! I suppose they all drive about instead of sitting on their PCs!!!

Strictly speaking it's not V power they have here. They apparently blend their own from normal premium unleaded. Supposed to be slightly better? Mine runs on it well enough and every Scooby I know always fills up at the Milestone on Peel road, Douglas. It's the one next to Mcdonalds on the way out of the town centre towards Quarterbridge. We use it because, with the volumes they do, it's the only one you can depend on being relatively fresh. Mark.

Drove into London tonight and apart from three tatty Evo Vlll rat cars I didn't see a single Subaru out there. Not one of any kind. Is I against the law for anyone insid the M25 to purchase a Subaru then? Also glad Mr Livingston's £200million Kengestion Charge system can't figure out IOM plates too. Tried to pay up, honest!

Mine's the Crystal Grey Hawkeye STi with Nurbergring sticker on the boot and Subaru Graphic on the upper wing vane. Also running silver wheels with plastic red edge protectors on right now. Governor's Hill resident. Private plate too. Front fogs also if you're coming the other way. Not that many hatches about on Mona's Isle still.

Hi, I'm about most days hee (boring life). I'm in Douglas. considering the Island is absolutely full of Scoobies it is a shame so few pop on here. PM me if you want to meet up.

Hiya Dougie! My spec D was bought because I wanted a Hawkeye STi and it was the only local one I could find at short notice (previous lost on black ice). It's not really a Spec D any more with big wing and roof spoiler fitted- but I have the original and bootlid to match in the loft if I ever need it! There are now 4 on the IOM! But this place is a Scooby Redoubt- they're everywhere. The O.E. Sat Nav was pants so that went first-nice double DIN Alpine now. The supposed extra soundproofing was pants too, so there's loads of dynamat in mine now. Much nicer. Enjoy!

Excellent! Any other Scooby owners up in GLA then? I'm just a lowly pilok here on the Island- I forgot to hide when they needed a numpty so some call me the "Pilot Base Manager"- but mostly it's filling coffee machines and sending company mail. Were you Loganair before Manx took over or arrived after?

Yes, for my sins..... No Flymaybe jokes FFS! I moved to the Island to work for Manx Airlines and never left so after BA came and ruined nearly ruined it all Flybe pickup up the pieces and restored what was left. Godsend for the 72 of us that are left! I do miss the Manx days though...

It went to Alan Jefferys in Plympton for an engine rebuild. Nice job too. My HQ is just up the road in Exeter so it worked out easier that way.

Still for sale! I've laid the Scooby up now as I can't afford the fuel! Driving a taxi instead! one day I'll be back.....

Bugger. The Prodrive rear box is just too noisy for me! Wakes the kids up at 5am when I go to work on early shift. Back to standard. Anyone fancy a nice clean shiny Prodrive back box? Fits onto O.E. or Prodrive mid section. Pm me if you want it!
