Sorry Pele - was hoping to get along to the meet on Friday but didn't get back until late - let us know whats happening

Thank you guys - knew it would be painfully simple just couldn't see it for looking!!

How do you use this facility? I suspect the answer lies in the 'help' pick on the toolbar although at the moment the site doesn't want me to access it any advice would be gratefully received. Perhaps I should deal with it like setting the timer on the video - get a neighbours 4 year old in to press the buttons!

Deano , I don't know if I can get to the meet on Friday - may give you a call.

Ferrying friends down to south coast that day so hoping to attend, subject to time.

....he knew the headlight conversion kit was a bit cheap when the roll of sticky tape fell out of the jiffy bag......

Pele , can we bring guests or is the Christmas do just for members?

......is Alan Titchmarsh blonde?

Paid 94.5 for ordinary unleaded in Bath yesterday - was told today that Asda on Bugsby Way still selling ordinary unleaded at LESS than 90p Must confess that I find this difficult to believe........but then this was over 6 hours ago and a lot can happen in that time.

........and just you wait, in a couple of years, Ken will no doubt try to lump scoobies in with the '4wd Chelsea tractor' and charge us all a premium rate of congestion charge Hopefully there'll be a motoring organisation out there who'll fight our corner on this!

Hi Leon, just seen your postings about 'cheap' go-go juice. Must admit that you've confused me (although that happens more and more as I get older!) but I live just off Plumstead Common and the only garage that I can think of in that area is the one along past the Co-op - is this the one you're talking about ? The only martial arts centre I know of is at the other end of the Slade. Perhaps the price of the juice has gone up so much since your posting I hadn't noticed that it was 'cheap' . An Esso garage on the Bromley Road in Shortlands near friends of mine was one of the cheaper ones around until last week when it hoicked its prices up - unleaded now up to 94.5p making it about the dearest!

Deano , believe it was you I spoke to in the pub on the way back from the club run down to Herne Bay a couple of weeks ago - I was the new member in the blue x- reg classic. Would be interested to speak to you about your services if you could get in touch . Cheers matey.

Hi to the blue classic, just pulling on to Welling Way couple of nights ago - I was waiting at those lights and don't know what your problem was but what was with the sneering and look of disdain? If you haven't the courtesy to acknowledge a fellow scooby driver then I suggest that in future you pretend you haven't seen him!

Is there anyone out there that can attach a map to the thread please? Cheers guys

Morning Dan and welcome to the club. Bought my first scooby at beginning of June and enjoying every minute of it. Previously driving a 2.9i Scorpio auto - large squashy seats and only 2 pedals to think about etc etc so you can imagine it was a bit of a learning curve driving the scooby in the early days!! Look forward to seeing you at the club meets - keep an eye on the website for dates etc. By the way, where are you?

Disregard my last message - just seen the date on the events list

So, what day is the BBQ? Sorry but I've read through every thread and can't see what day its scheduled for! Thanx

Welcome . . . . I'm a scooby virgin myself having bought mine in June just before my mid-life crisis! Well I'd got shot of the wife some years ago and shes since remarried and 3 of my sons are now working so there's only the usual stuff such as mortgage , food , drinking to worry about. So what the hell, I thought I'd indulge myself and buy a proper motor Haven't been disappointed. Went to last Fridays run down to Herne Bay although apart from the 'local massive' in their corsas and novas the place seemed to be shut ; but hey it was 9.30pm!! Try to get along to a club meet sometime.

Age didn't seem to be the problem - had more problems with it being an SE18 postcode - insurers seem to think we're all bloody car thieves up here! Will perhaps give Michaels a ring just to see what they have to say.

Managed to get £650 through AA although I am 50 and with clear driving record - it took a bit of phoning round though as mines parked roadside in Plumstead Common area and a lot of companies wouldn't even think about insuring me unless it was garaged etc etc...usual stuff

Meant to add that our Air Ambulance team race about in green Scoobies when the choppers not flying - they were our guys parked up in London after the bombings

Logistical role in Central Ambulance Control for London Ambulance Service - seems pretty boring compared to some of you guys out there. Can't even offer anyone 'free' ambulance journeys to hospital in case of emergencies!!

Pele, what times ko from the Wharf ?

Pele , should already be on it - am receiving club emails. Hope to get along to the meet on 19th.

Date looks ok at this stage - what time do we start off from the Wharf? Nice to meet some other club members
