Quality Michael - I thought you'd gone all sensible on us for a minute :lol:

Cheers George

As for sensible.... I thought about it, but it didn't seem right somehow! :lol:

Quick update, have sold my golf, didn't get as much for it as I wanted but thats usually the way... its gone to a golf enthusiast in Chesterfield who has a golf gti show car and wanted one for his missus, so at least it'll be looked after!

Runabout is going well and is still untinkered with

But have been spending some time pondering what to do with the scoob and where to go for some enjoyable driving, 1/4 mile seems to have lost its enjoyment factor for me

Track days are fun but the scoob hasn't been built for that and wouldn't want to risk wrecking it, though may pop along sometimes in the runabout

However, I think I've found something to get into which will see the enjoyment factor returned, it would involve a car like this...

nice little runaround and I am sure it will be fun - you planning/thinking of using it for 1/4 miles?

MichaelH · Post by **MichaelH** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:50 pm

Yeah I thought it looked nice

Other side of London though, long drive to get there..

Nope, think I'm pretty much done with 1/4 miles, just doesn't seem as exciting as it used to. I guess thats why my 'drag monster tag' has disappeared...

Am thinking of getting into drifting, its something I've wanted to do for a while and hopefully I'd be ok at it.

PS (as the Supra link is no longer working) My new runabout is a 94 plate NA Supra Auto, if I were to go for the Silvia for drifting it would be the Scoob making way.

So what about the scoob? will that be staying too???

MichaelH · Post by **MichaelH** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 12:53 pm

Nope, scoob would be on its way out, can't afford a Supra, Scooby and Silvia!

Shame cos its one of the best modified prodrive edition bugs i know.
If it no longer floats your boat though mate, then theres no point keeping it i guess.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do though

Michael

If you need any info on drifting cars or in general, speak to either Bladerider or gtst lad on here. Both have drifted for a while and I know Bladey has contacts everywhere for bits.

If you want details on cars in Japan (ie loads cheaper) let me know, I am always looking myself.

Best of luck
