How long have you owned a scooby?
 
There's a thread running on scoobynet at the moment asking how long peeps have owned thier car. Incredibly there are some that bought classics from new in 97/98 and still own them, which got me thinking who has owned there's the longist on here.

Mine: Owned for 3.5 years with a few mods along the way. No plans to change it, just garage it and get a German runaround lol. Then let the serious modding begin!. Previous 04 WRX for 2 years.

gtiteen 03-02-2010 05:57 PM

Me, 2 years now. Coming up to sell it though as need something cheaper to insure. No mods added to whats already there, just lots of repairs and maintenance! Don't think people will like what im planning on getting next!

worzel 03-02-2010 06:10 PM

Had my current one for five and a half years and the one before for 2 years.

So getting on for 8 years of scooby ownership in total.

It has cost a shilling or two. :whistle:

Squadron-Leader 03-02-2010 06:13 PM

Hmmmm

Sep 2001 > Mar 2004 - MY99 Wagon - 2y 6m
Apr 2004 > Sep 2008 - MY04 Wagon - 4y 5m

...a small break...

Jun 2009 > Present day - MY00 Wagon - 0y 8m


An ownership total of 7 years 7 months, but nowhere near some people on this forum. Scott and Keith come to mind.

worzel 03-02-2010 06:15 PM

We are pretty much identical time wise. :hurrah:

Hongkongfooi 03-02-2010 06:19 PM

How Short have you owned a Scooby

Hells Bells 03-02-2010 07:14 PM

My ownership will probably be the shortest, I only got mine 15 days ago after five and a half years of very expensive TVR ownership, i'm sure the 22B wont be as bad, will it!

Cath 03-02-2010 07:22 PM

I've had my94 classic wrx wagon 6yrs, it was imported 6months before I bought it :doubleup:

I did have a 6 month Sabatacle to the 3-Door Cossie in between the Silver and Green one.....saw the error of my ways though.

Nige 04-02-2010 07:47 AM

Had my Scoob for just over 3years trouble free.:drive:

scatz 04-02-2010 08:12 AM

1st; '96 Legacy GT 22nd Sept. '08 > 17th Nov. '08 - chewed a piston and spat a con rod through the block. Seven weeks of ownership and cost me £2000 to buy and replace what needed doing before failing like that epically :doubledown:

2nd; '98 Legacy GT-B 11th Nov. '09 > date :doubleup:

PS: Do I qualify for a prize for having a Scooby the shortest amount of time (the first one) ;)

Allowing access to company cars, wifes car, brother cars and my own. Remember driving a different car each day of the week and on some days driving 2.

Shortest owned non scoob from bought to actually sold was the 964 C4 porsche which lasted 12 days. Cost me £18K and hated it at the time.

As cracking as scoobs are the thought of owning any car more than a couple of years/months. Sends shivers down my spine, and I start to get DT's just thinking about it. So hats of to you die hard long term scoob owners. :D

Steve_PPP 04-02-2010 05:54 PM

mines my first scoob - but it won't be the last!

had it for 2 and a half years now :)

AndyWRX 04-02-2010 07:35 PM
