I rembered the first NBO there was a good turnout and at NBO 3-4 sidc had a great display with 6/8 cars and the last sidc was I think NBO 5 and there was 2 cars on display Which if i rembered correctly was Callum and te lad with the white corsa who did the epic lands end to John o groats run Cumbrian Scoobs met them in Cumbria with our donation and led them up to Lockerbie then the ayreshire boys rode shotgun with them think Callum raised over 17k So im at a loss where the sidc members are I was a member from 2000/2003 untill I formed Cumbrian Scoobs and TTs were formed along with the LADS ,CADS ,SMACs RB5s and NYIOc &WYIOC groups I had a vision after NBO 1 where we had 2 clubs in the north and sidc were national of linking everyone up as clubs In the past few years we have had 12/14 clubs every year (there has been a few clubs disappeared also ) and I have watched the number of independant drivers or billy no mates as we call them go down to as few as 30 last year as they have all joined Subaru clubs in their area so I'm still at a loss where the SIDC members are ? Possibly Scotland or down south still ?

wellcome to all the scooby fanatics out there I hope you have had a great xmas and santa fetched you everything that you desired , and most of all we should celebrate the fact that the subaru is alive and kicking and the flat four is making a nice burble through your decatted exhausts and I hope you feel lucky to have remaps ,lowered suspension ,uprated springs,bushs and droplinks and many other toys that help us max out our credit cards may we also hope that our SWAGS (subaru wifes and girlfriends )never find out the true cost of such items or we will be in the dog house . thanks go to all our suppliers that give us these necessary things in life after we work so hard for the pennys. may we give thanks to our speed detectors and just sheer good luck that stops our driving licences getting points and hope and pray that the dreaded Gatsos cameras will one day soon become extinct . May we hope and pray that Optimax will come down in price so we can drive further on less cash and that we can get from A to B as quick as we can before the fuel gauge moves as fast as our boost guages Lets hope and pray that Subaru learn that the classic was the best looking car and start making these again and that the new STI is as good as previous modles and that our negative views on the new shape that has just came out will turn to positive views when we all drive the new STI May our beloved Subarus continue to give us the WOW and Hugh Grin factor and stop our ageing by making us feel young again when we turn the Ignition keys and finally I look forward to seeing you all at the NBO6 on Sunday 15th june 2008 at Lightwiter valley where the NBO will hit new levels and new concepts for all you Subaru fanatics out there Drive carefully and remember Subarus are for life not just for Xmas .

Colin and Johnny tribute run Once again we have grouped together and put on a fantastic run up on a sad and emotional journey up to Lanark the runners from Carlisle were Howie CS Rob and claire CS Lord harding and Lourdes CS Dave and Tracey CS Gus Growler Grr on a Motorbike !! TTS Mark and Ooy CS Super Roo (Andy) CS Kev CS elf111 (chris and Emma) CS Sprmatt (dumfries) CS Dan g and Misses G TTS Speye91 TTS Dazh TTS Scooby Carl TTS Peter H and misses TTS Lisa and Ian TTS Mr 9 lives TTS Mick TTS Kev TTS Bwe LADS Gaz wrx LADS Big Dave LADS Mike LADS As always military precision was applied and departure at 1130 from carlisle and a great run up into Scotland After miles of trying we eventually got a 2 lane convoy of scoobys and a smooth arrival into Services at 1pm to be met with another 100++ subarus was an amazing site every colour and modle on show and everyone dressedin subaru regalia and nice to see some of the scottish scoobies with kilts on . ( it made me think of a smaller version of the NBO and has given me another vision) Excellent moving speech by awesomeposse (Grant ) and good planning by Imys who then sorted out 127 subarus into groups of classic,bugeyes,blobeyes and hawkeyes she then led the largest convoy that i had ever seen which seemed to stretch for miles down the valley into lanark parking was swift then we boarded busses (and i bet half the people had never been on a bus for years) when we got into lanark the main street was packed and large screens were set up for us all A moving celebration of Colin and Johnnys life followed with people from all walks of life all grouped together for this sad and emotional event . Talking to Ally B(scottish SIDC organiser)the plans for a national convoy down to Prodrive with the whole subaru community is very exciting and many thousands will be raised for charity once again a fine example of what a great community we all belong to after the event a nice convoy down the m74 to end the day and we will all have special memories of a special (but sad) day . thanks to all at Scotland for making the English feel welcome on this special day Lord harding CS/TTS NBO chairman
