Hello Strapper (where did you get that nick name from!!)
Before I bought my scooby, all I heard were good reports about these cars from people who owned them, they were reliable, "nippy" and nothing really ever went wrong with them.
I would recommend you buy one cos I still believe the above is true.
It is the best car I have bought so far and when the time comes will probably trade it in for another []
(This is about the extent of my scooby knowledge) [^o)]
