Glad I don't drive a scooby

THey just seem to talk about mending washing machines:

on the other hand, I did find out how to fix my Indesit!

Well there is a strong affinity between Scoobies and washing machines.

They both sound the same.

And they're both used a lot by hairdressers.

Beating it against a stone at the riverside was always more reliable.

Why bother having a wife, if you've got to do everything for them ?

Now that's a strange thing - when I hear a Scooby : I often mistake it for a RV8 TVR until it gets close then it sounds like some of the cylinders are missing .. but that woffly burble is there.

My neighbour has a Scooby - 10yds across the close.

There is NO mistaking who has the loudest car around here,
when my V8 'thug' explodes into life.

You guys have very odd ears! A scooby has that typical and rather special flat 4 sound - does sound a bit 'off' until you get t know what it's about. Not like a V8 at all - even an American one with different firing order.

A Scooby comes by here in the morning - so I get to know what time it is!

mmmmmmm none of these scooby owners would buy a TVR as they think a thing should run for 4 years without any spanner work

Don't laugh, but when I first test drove a Scooby I told the bloke it had mis-fire!! He thought I was joking, so I got away with it. I have to say it turned out to be one of the most reliable ( and fun ) cars I have ever owned. Sounds nothing like the wedge or the Griff, and I still own both of those..... Now the wife want a scooby, and I can think of worse things for her to have ( like the corsa she has now...... )

I have a TVR (ok a V6), AND a Scooby! But it probably doesn't count in this conversation as it is a 6 - a flat 6 twin cam boxer with about 240 bhp!And it is quiet, but revs up to about 7000, bit thirsty though.Great car.

I admire Subaru for being different.

They do sound pretty good too.

I had a 400se for a little while but had to sell it, as couldn't find anyone to buy my Impreza. The Impreza is a great car, but I'm getting a little board with it. You wouldn't believe how difficult they are to sell at the minute.

Really wish I had kept the Tiv now But it was good while it lasted and may try and get another next year
