Q Who am I?

I’m also known as ‘crispyduck’ on most of the popular Scooby forums around the world.

I’ve had a couple of Scoobys over the last 9 years (MY00 and MY03 WRX). Just can’t bring myself to get anything else for my 80 mile round trip to work every day.

I’ve created and hosted the Scoobypedia web site in my spare time as a hobby and for free use. A few other web sites (some very old) are here:

• Visual Impulse
• ROM Raider Open Source ECU Tool
• Reeves Roofing

1.  My Current Car

Contact me if you are interested in purchasing my pride and joy. Not worried when I sell it, simply after current market value.

Front - 53 Plate MY03 WRX

Rear - 53 Plate MY03 WRX

Inside - 53 Plate MY03 WRX

2.  My Karting Days

I retired from Kart racing (100 Clubman) about 7 years ago – and bought my Scooby! I promised my wife that when we have kids that would be it – Karting that is! – well he’s 18 months old now and it’s taken me a while to advertise my pride and joy.

Below are a couple of pictures of me racing it in the wet, then dry on the same day! – I won this and many other races by the way :-) Note: pictures are not great quality because I’ve basically lifted them from a freeze frame on the DV camcorder.

Race winning 100c Kart retirement sale, everything is in good condition and for sale including many spares and tools, everything you need to start racing. Package included the following:

• 100cc PCR TSV 2-stroke air-cooled engine (VERY low bore – ready for next race season)
• DYNO chassis with silver side and front pods – also old spare set of pods coloured blue
• Kart cover – coloured red and blue
• Easy start wheel – helps you start the Kart on your own by raising the rear wheels off the track
• Red swede racing steering wheel
• Multi-function display on steering wheel – displays RPM real-time, RPM max and hours run
• Drilled rear disk brake
• Set of VEGA racing slick tyres (already scrubbed in) including rims
• Set of VEGA racing slick tyres (intermediates) including rims
• Set of VEGA racing wet tyres (already scrubbed in) including rims
• 2 off tyre bags – each holds a set of 4 tyres
• Tyre replacement jig tool – you need this to change your own tires
• Kart stand/trolley - coloured silver
• Many spares including lots of rear sprockets of various sizes, chains, lots of spark plugs (hot,”normal” and cold), many bolts screws etc., carburetor gasket kits, basically everything you need to maintain your Kart.

I also have the following, which I am not sure if I want to sell yet:

• Race full-face helmet (coloured black – grade A – basically a motor bike helmet. Note, I might keep this just in case I do a track day with the Scooby :-)
• Neck brace - trust me you’ll need one
• Race suite – small/medium size (suite a slim person up to 5’ 10” tall)
• Race shoes – size 8 ½ - black swede
• Fire Extinguisher – Dry powder type (large)
• Wooden Kart platform for trailer – custom made by me which sits on top of my Halfords box trailer which my Kart straps on to – obviously if you do not have a similar size trailer this will not be required.

Anyway enough of writing lets see it in more detail. Pictures below:

If anyone new to Karting is thinking of taking it up I can definitely recommend it, all be it a little dangerous :-O. Nothing can beat a 60 MPH race with 20 other Karts with your bum only millimetres from the track! If any other Scooby owner out there has experiences of Karting I’m sure we would all be interested to here how you would compare it to racing your Scoob. The reason for writing “does your Scooby do this?” is easily explained by my bodily reaction to a race I won. This particular race was challenging to say the least as I was spun by someone during qualifying and started in the middle of the grid for the first heat. By the end of the days racing in the heats I gained enough places to give me second position on the grid for the final. After gaining and losing the lead as many times as laps I eventually won. As you can imagine I got back to pits pretty chuffed with myself and was then violently sick due to amount of adrenaline running though my body! I’ll say it again; Does your Scooby do this?

If anyone is seriously interested in my Kart please contact me via this thread or send me a personal message. For newbees I would be happy to give basic instruction to get you up and started with Karting. With that said, racing these things is about preparation and strict maintenance as much as driving well in races. Please do not expect to race Karts like these for a whole season without regular attention of maintenance. One thing you can be sure of, as I was when I purchased it, is that this Kart is fast and will not hold you back from winning races. That leaves you plenty of time to perfect your driving – you’ll need it – it’s nothing like driving a car!
