Correct ,The Nickname Got tagged originally on the Imprenza Model and Like The UKs Morris Minor (Moggy) all the Brand was nicknamed Scoobies in the UK Perhaps a reference to the Front end design? I Rode a Bike nicknamed the Plastic Maggot(pic) by its owners (Honda CX500) My First big Bike, plastic panels everywhere (Disliked strong crosswinds) All the plastic bits acted as a sail or a Brake if the wind was at the wrong angle!

Nice looking bike though I remember when I was in school and the first chance they got, the guys went out and got 50cc mopeds and graduated up from there. Not the same here..16 year olds are driving their parents 3 litre plus cars to school! First car I ever looked at buying was a Moggy Minor..but my Dad made me buy a Fiat instead!
Just given me an Idea for another question (you'll know the answer ) Wonder if the rest of the gang know what they are? Have to put "Time markers" on these questions for the Uk members to come in later on OK?
