<< << hhhhhmmmm.....I wonder how mine came about? >> probably cause every time i get mad at you i say " edmondo get here now" >> LOL Imy

ally, enough with the chav innuendo. Gayle and I are trying to do this right and your comments dont help. Imy

thanks for the comments. The Scottish Scooby clothing will have SIDC on it, so it is clear that we are part of the SIDC. wrt the banner and possible events in which it should be used, i agree it should be used on official SIDC outings. For events organised by other marques, the scooby representation is fantastic and our cars already have SIDC stickers on them so there may not be a need to roll out the banner. there is a unqiue mix of regulars and newbies here and we should be able to compromise and get along without lowering the tone of the club. Imy

Cal, i see where you are coming from and agree that it does get quite muddled in here as threads move so fast. I too would like to see the main scottish scoobies forum split into some categories e.g. general, forthcoming events and technical. From what Derek and Willie are saying, things are in the pipeline. Lets just see what happens and hopefully we may get some subcategories when the chiefs implement the new software. The extra traffic and number of Newbies is encouraging and i think the growth of scottish scoobes is a reflection on how good we have it here. Imy

sorry chris....... its the only pic i had! cue evil cackle hee hee ........ another topic that got a few laughs on sunday...... Imy

for those of you scratching your heads wondering what the whole Gumball thing is, i'll fill in the blanks for ya. We were at Crail on Sunday and Swiggi was quite taken with the graphics on CHRISP's scoob - Gumball 3000 - so much so that it made him hyper/giggle/giddy ALL DAY. He hatched some hairbrain idea that we should all do it! his hilarity made most of us laugh, except for S6CUB who wanted to sit in someone else's car on the way home! seems like Swiggi is still amused by it and is holding on to that idea! Imy edited to add pic of source of hilarity

i drive our 2nd car - a 1.3 micra so thats where the 'micra' comes from the boyfriend (Squirrel) drives the scooby and was responsible for getting me into the whole WRC-scooby-rallying-driving scene so thats where the 'wrc' part comes from. oh, and he introduced Sebastian Loeb into my life - hubba hubba Imy

fraser, had a few too many beers hve ye? Imy

Imy

Hi lou, welcome to the forum. I am TheSquirrel's other half and hail from Glasgow. he's the one with the scoob, my user name should give u a hint as to what i drive i decided to get my own name for the same reason as you, Squirrel didnt want or let me post under his name, in case i tarnished his street rep! as if i would?! Imy PS Phil - i'll be up for a ladies only section too

<< Run there and back was ermmm.... interesting but the run in lorry was better, eh Imy!!! >> LOL S6CUB. the run in the lorry was fun. it was a good day, weather was surprisingly mild for Crail. some pics from today we've arrived. let's all pop our bonnets and look important there was a lorry creating a lot of smoke in the drift ring so gayle and I asked for a pax lap. the driver took us out one at a time decided to blow his tyres when i was in the truck group buy Imy

nice one gayle, PMSL guess u were bored today and got creative? keep them coming....... Imy

PMSL Imy

andy, v. funny. now the women's turn........ we've got men sussed........ how to be a man..... 1, OPENING JARS - nnng, she's struggling. You take it from her hands, open it effortlessly and pretend she loosened it for you. She didn't. Jars are men's work. 2, CALLING SOMEONE 'SON' - Especially policeman but even saying it to kids makes you the man. 3, PARALLEL PARKING - bosh, straight in. first time. Can Schumacher do that? No, because his cars got no reverse gear which, technically, makes you the worlds best driver. 4, DRINKING UP - Specifically, rising from the table, slinging your coat on and downing two thirds of a pint in one fluid movement. Then nodding towards the door, saying, "Let's go" and striding out while everyone else struggles to catch up with you. God, you're hard. 5, HAVING A SCAR - Ideally it'll be a facial knife wound, but even an iron burn on the wrist is good. "Ooh, did it hurt". "Nah". 6, KICKING A FOOTY AGAINST A GARAGE DOOR - Clang-g-g-g-g-g! Stitch that becks, I kick so hard I set off car alarms. 7, ARRIVING IN A PUB LATE... and everyone cheers you. It doesn't mean you're popular, it just means your mates are pissed. However, the rest of the pub doesn't know that. 8, HAVING A HANGOVER AND THICK STUBBLE - When birds have been partying they just whinge. You, on the other hand have physical evidence of your hardness, sprouting from your face. "Big night?" Grr, what does it look like. 9, USING POWER TOOLS - slightly more powerful than you need or can safely handle. Pneumatic drilling while smoking a fag? Superb. 10, NOT WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT - fat is a feminist issue, apparently. Brilliant. Pass the pork scratchings. 11, CARVING THE ROAST - and saying "are you a leg or breast man" to the blokes and "do you want stuffing" to the women. Congratulations, you are now your dad. 12, COOKING ON THE BBQ ? charred on the outside and raw in the middle is the way to do it. 13, WINKING - turns women to putty. Doesn't it? 14, TEST SWINGING HAMMERS - ideally, B&Q would have little changing rooms with mirrors so you could see how rugged you look with any DIY item. Until then, we'll make do with the aisles. 15, PHONE CALLS THAT LAST LESS THAN A MINUTE - unlike birds, we get straight to the point. "alright? Yep. Drink? Red lion? George, it is then. Seven. See ya." 16, DOING A PROPER SLIDE TACKLE - Beckham free kicks? Gay. A Stuart Pearce tackle is the pinnacle of the game, simultaneously winning the ball and crippling the man. Magic. 17, KNOWING WHICH SCREWDRIVER IS WHICH - "a Phillips? For that? Are you mad?" 18, CALLING YOUR MATE A C**T - and punching him on the shoulder. Just a man's way of saying "you're a good mate; I missed you while you were in hospital". Imy

btt just checked through 5 pages of posts and i think everyone is on the list. well done boys, almost everyone that's replied has stuck their name down for this in the correct order! Imy

happy birthday fraser, hope you have a nice birthday and that Gayle buys you something you can fit onto your scoob! Imy & Grant

hiya Jodi, welcome to the forum. it was nice meeting u on sunday. you need to get a pink lanyard made up. Find a nice pic of your bloke's car and email it to Malky along with details of the name you want shown.. clicky Imy

quote by mcgoo from the other thread...... << Apart from the good range of Scoobies on show, some bemused villagers, some waving villagers and a comic of a cyclist leading the second group... could be heard as he passed .... "...scooby, another scooby, another sccoby, another scooby, another sccoby, .. volkswagon ?" >> i knew we took a picture of it........... Imy

Andy, just added my name on Grant's, seeing as i dont have a scoob! by the way, you should be able to spell s-q-u-i-r-r-e-l by now Imy 1. ANDYJDMSTI 2. Swiggi 3. TheSquirrel + micra_wrc 4. sti-zlv

andy, which one of you two came up with the name? both weekend suits me, as my social diary revolves around Grant's motoring schedule I am assuming that i will be doing the paperwork on this? Imy

<< Of course mate. Seeing as i am usually nominated as Pace car, then just pop in behind at the start. Grant and the Red Dragon >> just wanted to confirm that the 'red dragon' is his car Imy

grant, yup, link works. need your password now! lol Imy

thanks for all the positive comments about today. am glad everyone enjoyed themselves and got the 'scooby bug'. I must thank my wonderful scooby-mad boyfriend Grant for knowing the ace roads, taking the lead and helping me produce the maps. Am sure you would all agree that he did a superb job in planning the route, keeping to plan (esp picking up SCOOBAY and Jambo_Scooby en route) and got everyone on the road for equal stages of driving and blethering. moments for me today: - handing out the maps at the entrance to the car park at Coatbridge, shivering in the cold wind whilst Grant was away gabbing. Thought the red wagon was zipping in a wee bit too fast for me to run after to give him a map! - hearing how the policemen standing at the junction when half of the convoy went the wrong way were actually laughing and assisted the lost pack re-navigate onto the correct route, after they burlied around and drove past them.....again! Note to self, folk will not look at the map if they have developed tunnel vision when driving past the police and will automatically go straight on instead of turning right. - meeting and speaking to new folk and to see everyone mingling, chatting, examining cars. Good to see the number of Scooby Ladies is increasing. - deciphering Grant''s cryptic clue and realising it was all true, down to the Queen's goats. - hearing that the colourful pheasant that was standing at the side of the road when we went past is no longer 'standing' at the side of the road - seeing the lovely toddler decked out head to foot in subaru gear, romper suit and hat Glad everyone enjoyed the day, suggestions/comments welcome to make the next one better.
