Before! And after some idiot driving straight across in front of me on Dual Carriageway without any helmet on. (Standards practice here in Chiang Mai sadly)

The forerunner to the Manx Scoobyfest which I sorted. Awesome trips and you guys that came over hopefully enjoyed them. In fact only yesterday added a photo from one year in the gallery section. Who else was at the bottom of May Hill waiting for the roads to open with FAD's last event, I think we had around a dozen impreza's tagging on for a clear run over the mountain (which was closed for the event. The clerk of the course even kept the road one way until we had also passed through the Bungalow after he had seen us all waiting for the roads to "Open" top man Just wish I could afford one over here! Even an old classic is 600,000 baht and at 43 to the Pound, it s expensive! New WRX Sti was 3,800,000 when i inquired last year! Cheers Richard

Simple advice re the most important bit, your helmet. Buy the most expensive you can afford! Cheers Richard Ex R/O Isle of Man

Hi Tony, Also lifetime member (although not according to my profile ) But can confirm that they sorted me out in a couple of days and got me back on the list of members. And I have voted as well! Cheers Richard Chiang Mai

Some more users on the IoM site would be a start. where have you all gone, because for certain the Scoobies are still there! Cheers Richard (EX R/O IoM) Chiang Mai Thailand

OK, it's not a Scooby. BUT, be aware that any imported car here is subject to an import duty of up to 200% of Original cost. Hence why a new Wrx Sti here in Chiang Mai is currently 3,800,000 baht = 78,000 GBP And who needs a fishing line! taken outside my office on Wednesday Cheers Richard Chiang Mai Thailand

Have been a member since way back when (lifetime) so do not need to rejoin annually. However, I would rejoin even though I no longer have my scooby. I will do though one day, just need the spare 1.4 million baht for 2.0 RS or 3.8 Million baht for the A-line STi Having been involved with motor(clubs) sport for 35 years, I know that membership goes up and down. I still remember when back in the 80's my local club Smc Face-book nearly folded, we even had a "local" rival club come to the Agm thinking they were going to get all the equipment, events and stuff for nothing. It did not happen and now 20 years on, there still going strong So please keep faith and support your club, it will only get stronger. I may be 8,000 miles away but I still log in nearly everyday and keep an eye on things. Remember, you only get out that which you put in. Merry Christmas from The Land of Smiles Heazille (Richard) Ex R/O Isle of Man "Sin City"
