some of the older members of this region and various clubs will know Bob so passing on this sad news

copied from bbs forum

I am really upset to have to tell you that Bob died in the early hours of this morning. Bob as many of you know was one of the original scooby owners and his last scoob was a Wr1. He often spent as much time at Tileys as one of the staff and was a true gent. He had suffered with cancer and kidney failure for a few years. He was only 61. I am sure that all of your thoughts will be with his partner Tricia who will always be known as Bob's Dragon.

Sad to see you finally go Ed.

I disagree with you Rae about the end of the region.

The region has been very slow (almost dead for a while now), but recently there has been new blood injected (albeit via SWS) and there is hope yet.

With SWS returning home to its roots, lets look to the future and not dwell on the past.

really JD ,its just sws under sidc umbrella now, which is something they didnt want to be associated with a few years ago when they broke away.and whats happened since , sws have become a small club ,when ed and jaqs were running it they rivalled the esc for members/cars

ed and jaqs built this section up twice when most would have quit.and i cant see anyone with the same commitment,backing,even coming close to what they done .

well i guess that kills off s/west region altogether .sorry to hear you going ed ,its been good times even if i didnt come to as many meets ,was always a good laugh.im sure your witty humour will be missed by all. you know where to find me if im at a show you to bailey sure i'll bump into you at some show with your lense out

:icon_salut:

Evening ! When's Eddie the Eagle back then ?

going by his last post , id say never, see below if you missed it

Well

What can I say - I am jacking this in...........Walked into a highly political environment - undermined from below and no support from above........very little training and no support or guidance. This fact was recognised by one set of upper management however nothing done by direct management. Worked my backside off for the last 5 months and tried to prove that I can do the job I am now written off sick with DEPRESSION so bang goes my Probation period plus £42k a year! - and I didnt even get that when I was seriously ill 4 years ago!.

So far in January 2011 - Jacqui and I split for a time , my lottery numbers came up however as I forgot my ticket I did lucky dips instead thus losing out on £4 Million plus all the hassle I had at work it has been a crap start to the year - oh yeah bloomin car now playing up!!!!!!!!.

So for Feb its looking for another job - this time a pitance paying one with no responsibility so probably putting the car on Fleabay and let someone have it for 99p!!!!! - oh yeah its 4:40am and now suffering from insomnia.

Anyone around from the good old days how ya doing?

well thats my gossip!

cheers

Ed

Howdy

Been a very long while since my last post - Work , Forum Politics etc.......anyway if any of the old crew still lurk just to let you know a mate of mine has got the gig at the Sun Inn in Swindon on New Years Eve from 8pm so Jacqui and I will be there so hope to see some of you and perhaps to chew the fat lol

who are you??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Can't remember the last time either the SW or Oxon RO's posted

I would just like to congratulate all the new committee members and thank them for taking over the running of the club, If something hadn`t happened there wouldn`t be a club left shortly, I have lost count of the number of long time members who have left the club because of the way the club was being run, ie Refusing to have an AGM, consequently non elected members being given jobs and lifetime memberships with no way of us paying members voting them out.

Now we have a properly run club i will be renewing my membership again.

to little to late . to many people been s__t on , check to forums nobody posts anymore

from a ex south west member

Sad thing is that this IS the way it left the factory!!!

as i remember correctly ,the body kit was designed for maximum efficiency by the racing division of subaru .so it may not look that pretty but is better than the various bolt ons available as after market kits/ spoilers you see everyday on scoobs .

is it always this quiet in here?

seams even more deader then the previous model forum i frequented

on a nicer note

got some new wipers coming so i might be able to see where im going when it rains now and will hopefully be upgrading the headlight bulbs too

(was meant to do that a while ago but never got round to it )

never used to be mate ,was prob the busiest part of this club , but things happened and s/west organiser jaqs give it up due to well ............if you go to swindon meet you'll hear about it .

40 views and no replys , admin on holiday ?

was my post deleted .some one asked about drive outs/meets in the somerset area .and seeing as s/west section on here is dead .i pointed him to a local subaru forum were he would get a response . ok i put a link in but are sidc threatened by another forum that you cant mention another forum , i dont see scooby net posts getting deleted . or is this just a s/west thing .

and you wonder why people are leaving this club .

:lol: after all the abuse you give me ,you old fart you .jaqs get the slippers and pipe out and dont forget the blanket to go over his legs whilst he's in his lowered wheelchair .(not lowered for performance he just wont be able to get his a55 that high up )

bus pass soon old chap

anyone else going wilton house

Bit slow around here what is going on people

were is a good place for a re-map and how much will i be looking at?

andy forest performance not sure how much tho prob around £500 mark .

Look what i found

So how many people still have theirs and still live on here

answers on a post card

still got mine but will be up for sale soon ....... havent lived on here for years just pass through when im bored

its only going to get even more dead on here .....its going to be a struggle to keep this region going,but nothing that hasn't been said before..ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm its the regular posties that kept this going for too long.....................wasn't rocket science wss it..

que tumbleweeds

well i'll put my opinion in ,first off south africa done a good job of hosting it and the stadiums were top class ,esp the durban one which is basically now redundent unless they can get the local rugby team to transfer across, security was second to non with only the minor blip here and there . but since the finish all security have been made redundent .

as for the football i think it was appalling .if half the teams put the effort in that bafana bafana put in then it might have been worth watching . France pathetic ,england just plain awful . italy nuf said. it.ll be a while before i put on a england shirt again . to embaressed to wear it > so will be wearing my fake bafana bafana one atleast they showed spirit.

felt for those fans who saved and payed to stay out there in the vain hope we would get somewhere . atleast i had family and friends to stay with .

needless to say i wont be going to brasil

Just popped in to say missingu all ......... Not having a great time

watch England beat slovinia great atmoshere. Just driven 2000 ks to capetown .awsome views

going up themountain in the mornin. Not seen to many scoobs.

Anyway see you soon well july meet prob. Be good

till i get back from the world cup unless i get infront of a pc out there . i'll struggle with the weather being a cool 26 degrees this week ,

guess who's stand i wont be on if i go

oh dear - meet starts about 7.30pm...............can you not be "slightly late" for one night

its not as though the locals will complain

They bully me something rotten on here..................not fair etc

Rae is the worst followed by Parker1 , Bailey 73 , JD - In fact the list is endless

hey im a reformed character i'll have you know

is it sexual tension?

also are their any lady drivers in this group??

Ed drives like a woman does that count

You are such a Tart Rae............

takes a bigger one to know one

i think instead of a car meet we could have a group therapy session, we can all sit together and talk with a concilar,

we could vent our feeling get them out in the open put some kind of closure on this matter as to why the leader of this bunch feels down useless pick on,

do the others feel jealous of your power?

thats called the monthly meet jaqs and mum the coucilars
