Thanks for all your kind words like "Bling" "Bling" "Bling"
"Drug Dealer" "Pimp" "Daddy" pmsl....
Keep the opinions coming and any suggestions.
Make sure you keep it alarmed at all times, keep the key out of view of your letter box at home, keep the car locked when driving at night/poor lit areas make sure it has a good alarm.
My boss had a similar one nicked using the hook on a length of bamboo, plus nearly got it car jacked a couple of times.
These things brand new are stolen to order.
I'm not being funny or notin but i would shoot anyone who attempted to
enter/access my property to get the keys and as for as Car-Jacking goes,
well they have to get past me first..... You think i am going to let a
beauty like this slip away....
Its got a Clifford top alarm system on it and Tracker system 2 fitted also.
CCTV monitered and a weapon awaiting anyone who may try.
... dont bother me at all, you just need to speak their language.......
Some more pictures just added in the first few posts

You do have a good point, and we did have a good discussion about this a couple of weeks ago, suppose if it were my car i would be quite anxious that jealous people didn't key it/mothers didn't bang their doors in to it etc.
But a very nice looking car.
Is it likely to see off road action any time soon?
you don't really need performance mods rangey, its the kind of car you cruise in so every1 can see exactly how quality it is! it looks all very well done to a very high quality and you should just keep it clean and enjoy, but hey maybe an exhaust to put ur own personal touch on it!
G
cream leather, gotta love it
do like the rims too, very BIG
you must be chuffed eh "Ranger Jay"
heres a question, how much for a new trye??
saw it a thurgo beach yesterday and all i have to say is WOW thats all that u can really say bout it init!
PIMP jay. Real pimp! what else can u do to such a car. The only thing i can think of is another neon at the front as the floor is hardly lit there. Nowt else wrong wiv it mate. Needs a personal touch but am not sure where ur gonna get that. Exhaust?
What size r them rims? 22's?! they wudnt look out of place on a tractor! (size wise i mean, obviously you dont get any farmers blingin it on chromies!)
Am led to believe there 24" chromes!
WOW oh mi god hehe its gr8 i thought that vinnys 4x4 BMW was tight now weve got 2 too drool over xXx
i want it, wot else can i say, you are the envy of wirral mate, over the moon for you mate, sound system is immense, and the rims hurt your eyes in the sunlight, all that you need now is a skin head, about 10 stone extra in weight and about 2 foot in height
wats gonna happen to the scooby?
Yeah, as Aceritz has said they are 24"
Tyres size is : 305/35-24
The tyres cannot be purchased in the UK for this, i will have to import them from U.S.A. when needed.....
The Scooby will be going up for sale in the near future, keep your eyes peeled.....
the price range for them tyres on the net is $298.00 to $610.00 for Kumho tyres, thats on a cheap site in the u.s.
very nice jay!! very gangsta!!
Love the truck Scooby
Just one question
In the video what on earth were you listening to?
PMSL.....
That was not the music i was listening to, that was the Cruisewirral song from last year that i overlayed onto the video
I guess you had to be at the nationals in 2004 to understand.....
well wot can i say the car looks sweet and cant wait 2 c wot u do 2 it. heavy fuel bill as well i was shocked when u where talkin about it look the rims and install

Hehe, I'm sure I can arrange summat if you're up for it Jay. Find that exclusive photo shoot point!
You got to be joking havnt you, i would be too scared of marking the rims or somit matey......
I think this one will be staying on Tarmac
Very nice scooby VERY NICE. I no longer have the gangsta looking car. Rims are sweet and the body is mint ice well all i can say is WOW. One question your not the biggest person i know so how the F do you clean the roof LOL. Great car mate good enough to grace any pages of any mag. Just dont go doing any tyre spinning cos u will need a loan everytime you need to replace the tyres.
Quality. Looks great and cannot wait to see it in person.
Which motor is going the nationals then jay?
That loooong road trip down was well worth it eh Jay
lol
Loving the ride ever since I first saw it poking outta the driveway
Made up you got the amp tray workin as I kow you said you were worried about that
You need to drive alongside the vehicle to really see the beauty of the rims, they're like perfect mirrors! me n jim were lookin at them and doin our hair in the reflection
Still toy'ing with the idea of suicide rear doors?
I still say Lambo front doors
Reverse lambo doors at the front and normal lambo doors at the back or the otherway around nobody in the country has reverse lambo doors (i think) getting plans drawn up for my car as reverse lambo doors nobody has em on a e-30 we are just trying to get the weight right get it done. Or get suicide doors at the back and leave fronts standard.
seen this the uva day at ker chans n its gorgeous, nice choice scoob
i thort about lambo doors the other day ud
look like the white version of "50" in the his escalade
do it, do it, do it!
Bling Bling Just had to post this picture of the new car cruisin down the motorway, wheels looking like mirrors
Very nice motor!!! Need huge drilled brakes now as the huge wheels make the brake look tiny!
I am looking at getting the upper and lower chrome grille's for the Rangy..
- As it is Now
- Chrome Upper Grille
What do you think ?? Stick with the black look or chrome it up to match it up with the blingin wheels ??
chrome in my opinion mate
bring back the scooby, only joking, chrome mate, looks nice,
are these just stick on tho, or is it a complete replacement grille.
is it a range rover part or an after market ones, cos ones i have come across that are aftermarket, aint that good a fit
They are aftermarket ones, could afford the real things at the mo
Not sure if they are a full grille or stick on jobbies ? Probs stick on jobbies but thats good as the front grille has been smoothed and sprayed black unlike more range Rovers which are simply black plastic and not colour coded.
May as well go the full chrome hit, just go totally over the top, there's not many around here.
as is m8. u dont wanna use all the chrome in the world. the only mods u need 2 get is sum gangsta rap nice n loud n a big gun then ur big pimpin.
I say chrome, but only if its real chrome. Surely u cud just get chrome slats from B&Q and fit them urself mate? Also think those lights need work IMO fella those covers are proper farmer giles
Just had an insurance quote of about £1k for this car lol.
Shame i don't have £20k spare
What be happenin scoob,both cars ARE goin, that means u must have a crazy plan for a new car? MG Xpower SV!! u know u want to. Thy must be goin cheap now
As Said, Its up for sale
just wtf! is it possible somethin that sexy is possible i think i may have to go get a proper ice install in my 106 i might as well have no stereo compared to that looks godlike m8 TOP BOMBING!!!!
spill the beans scobby whats ya little plan??? will be a shame to say to the rangey as we only know her for a short time.
can't believe your selling her already, i still haven't seen her yet :S
Maybe i will keep her ??
Looking at changing the wheels to 22"
Or
What do you guy's think ??
i think the 22" look bigger than the 24" on them pics lol
nah keep the 24" chromes cos they are sweet
Oops, forgot to scale them down, thats just my photoshop skills matey....
Guess i was being lazy. Obviously the 22's would be slightly smaller but it gives a guide to what the new ones would look like on it
Whats everyone else think ??
keep the chromes matey, looks blingin, why you thinking of goin to 22's?
The tyres are simply a tad too big and catch the arch very occasionally, but i am fussy and it does me head in....
Thinking if i drop to 22's this will get my heart into the vehicle a bit more ??
i say still sell it and start a fresh new project. that way you can get what you want and poss a nice balance of p.i.m.p and speed.
If thats the main prob with the rangy, then yes I would change to 22". Would have to a set of crome again thou. Then you would keep the same affect, just a little bit different.
it is very nice looks nice and tidy i would go 4 it but it is up 2 u at the end of the day
i dont think u should do it, i think you should get a high performance sports car or keep the scooby and I have said that all along, which means getting rid of the rangey but not in that way, a swap for that would be ridiculous, its a very nice BMW, but not at all worth your rangey.
Thats a sweet BMW. It would be alot different from what you had. Not sure wheather you should do it or not. What are the sats on the car.
You'd be stupid not to. I love Beemers!
Hmmmmm... I must admit i am quite tempted, just e-mailed him asking for more info and specs especially on the conversion.
I have had several beemers in the past and they are georgous and such a nice drive. 530's are quite quick and this conversion on top, well its got to shift a bit for a heavy car.
More opinions needed peeps
Think i have seen that at a couple of shows this year?.
If it is the 1 it goes like stink and sounds sweet.
What would you do when you got it though?
Not alot to do to it to sort of put your touch to it.
Also wouldnt turn heads like the ranger.
This commin from a bm fan aswell. I would say no me scoob.
Okay, i am getting old or somit but i have had
Head Turning Cars for years now and it would be nice to become almost invisable with a touch of Luxury to go with it

ME AND DIKKY CARNT BE HAVING YOU WITH A FASTER BM THAN US.
Putting it like you have maybe you should go for it.
If your after a sleeper so to speak then YES i would get it.
i say defo go for it, i would if i was in your shoes. also if you did get it i think a duplex exhaust would look nice, keep the same design which is on it but just a duplex version. its just a thought
go for it!
I'd go for it Jay
I'd say its not as "look at me" as the Range Rover, but its a down right gorgeous car, its an 02 reg car with bugger all miles on and a shed load of goodies with it, not to mention some gorgeous rims and a racing conversion thing, that must of set him back a bit, well the advert says £45k, even if its half true its a lot of dosh!
Dont not get it because people wont look at it as much as the Range Rover, get it because its a lot more practical, probly cheaper on juice (just lol) and the people that do stop and look can and will appriciate just how nice a car it is, and not just think "wAH lad onto dem maSSif khrome rimzzzz me m8 jobBo ad dem on iZ saXslow "
If your after invisibility, luxury and you still want awesome performance why don't you look at an Audi S8 or A8 4.2 Quattro.
I think adam has just summed it up in one very good and practical post
go for it an stick a nice duplex on it an maybe get NOS to finish it off
go for it mate. naff all miles, nice slick smooth, will still turn heads just not as many, lol, but fast still, with nice rims, and a lot spent on it, dont like the interior to be honest but its still lovely DO IT
i told u 2 buy 1 b4 u bought the rangy. why u not listen 2 me. im allways right. a right ar5e!!!!!
soooooooo fine the 5 series. all i gotta say is speed is electronically limited 2 150ish on them so u fancy a flat out race on m53. cud b fun!!!!!
Just got this reply via E-Mail from the owner :
The car has extras as follows:
1. full Breyton bodykit - front valance (stone chipping is apparent due to it being so close to the ground and my 30 mile round trip to work each day!) rear valance, side skirts, M5 bootlip spoiler, Schnitzer (debadged) roofline spoiler and schnitzer mirrors.
2. Breyton big brake conversion - basically enlarged vented and crossdrilled disks with larger calipers - but I've seen your Subaru, so you probably already knew that!
3. Breyton Ecu re-map, giving the car improved perfomance with decent MPG.
4. Twin exit back box for aesthetic appeal.
5. 20" Breyton alloys. Some scrubbing is apparent - weathering around the valves too. Some tyres will be required for the MOT. A set of very good part worns can be obtained for as little as £280.
6. Factory privacy glass.
7. Uprated suspension components lowering and enhancing the ride without losing comfort.
Inside, the car is fitted with heated sports leather, aluminium trim, OBC, individual aircon, auto dim mirror, mfsw, cruse control etc etc.
I had the car serviced at Bowker bmw in October last year and it has three green lights remaining.
I have all the documents, hand books etc, tracker details (not subscribed,) the car is due it's first MOT but as I was cosidering selling it I thought I'd see what happened regarding a sale first.
An amazing 6 disk CD changer and BMW business head unit is also fitted............ lol.
Well, I am liking that reply....
swap now or ill beat u 2 death with a wet fish. swap now!!!!!!!!!
lol. do u tink i like it. i wud b little upset at u havin a quicker bm than me but hey team bmw allways welcomes new members. lol
get it. the range rover is, as you know a novelty, and i think that you and i both know that the novelty has worn off, get the bmw, at least if you want to sell it you have a wider field of people that may buy it.
My Thoughts exactly, very sensable reply my little pumpkin
why thank you. i try some times.
lol ! yeah i agree ! swap ! but jay ! r u ever gunna get a normal car and quieten down ? lol ! ur mad !
OMG thats is one sweet ride i wuld say swap or i rekon u wil regret it

ohh wicked i just have dun a topic on this in car chit chat haha that awsome i rekon!
get the black one looks so much more classier!
the black one has just been sold rennie, do people not read these days lol
dont get it, its nice, but its not special. perhaps get it, strip it, and sell it standard.
Cash ur way jay. No way is that Bimma worth the same as the range. No way in hell. Its a crime u bought the range for wot u did. Its worth over 20K imo. And that bimma just aint. My 2P
The rims looks FAR to cheap for the car, would look so much nicer on some classy Alpina rims

gotta agree with you there matey.
i wouldnt do it personally mate, youd be gettin a cheaper pimp car for your bit more costly pimp motor. doesnt realy make any sense to me
The rims look to bling for the car.
The tyres are far too low a profile and its been lowered too much, just dosnt look right somehow....
dont ask me why but i would swop, i quite like it but just got the feeling that you should swop
Nice rims but far too commin, They are sold in Halfords for christs sake!
Pitty you cant get that Black BMW
Or a Jaguar S-Type R - they are rapid and quicker than an S8. I just traded mine in for my new Range Rover - strangely enough, the Rangie has the same engine as the S-Type R (4.2 Supercharged V8) which was just lovely!
its nice but its no way near as nice as the range rover and definatly not worth the same price!! dont do it jay!!
Just been offered a swap for one of these :
And some guy is offering me £3,000 plus this BMW
pictures of bmw as said book value for this car i £10,500 am looking for £9000 but dont know how much you are wanting for yours hope to hear from you soon cheers
I asked for more info and he replied with :
hi again she has a full bmw service history bar onw which was done at an independent garage but is still stamped the last full service being at 87,000 miles when she went for her m.o.t in jan bmw said she was not ready for another yet her mileage is now at 99,000. she is hpi clear as far as i know well i hope so anyway have had her for a year and have had no probs! as for what kind of deal i am looking at i have no idea because i have no idea what you are hoping for yours if i know a price for yours then i can see what sort of money we are looking at as have only got limited funds myself.
cheers again
Paul
What should i do ??
IMO you should go for cold hard cash mate. Any new car in the equation and who knows what will happen? the scoob may get kicked to the kerb again. Although that TreVoR is sweet! How much a TVR of that age worth. If i were in your boots I'd just look at securing 17K+ in my back pocket. If it involved Swappin the range for a TVR then sellin the TVR so be it but wouldnt get another car with plans of keepin as u have the PERFECT car already and im sure all that money would really do you well
Been offered a swap for this also amongst about 30 other cars
This guy has just got back to me offering a straight swap
Tempting i must say, 5,000 cc engine, Hmmmmmm.....
Opinions needed peeps
I just dont know any more! Its your choice matey and jesus knows what you can afford. Id hate to see the scooby get kicked to the kerb. I think u shud just sell it and be happy with the money. Whats the going rate of the above TVR? if its ledd than what you think the range rovers worth tell him no and SELL the rangey. thats my 2p mate and always will be
Been looking about and the chimaera 500 is worth approx £18,000
But, i could keep it for a few weeks considering it has 5.0 V8 engine, Rear Wheel Drive, No Traction Control, No ABS, No Airbags. Loving it...
Also runs 320 BHP with 440NM of troque
TVR's are ****ing mental, do it, just don't kill yourself in it.
Well it beats gettin run over crossing the road and being hit by a bus....
I could think of worse ways to Die
So come on peeps, more opinions needed......
Just got this e-mail about the TVR
Hi Scooby, i knwo what u mean about things getting crazy with e-mail etc, i have a bike on e-bay ending the same time as your motor and u wont belive the swaps etc i have been offered lol
milage on car is 40, 000
yep its hpi clear
its the very limited etd chrimeara 500, with the 5 ltr engine ( less then 300 made ), so you have the kudos of that, probably one of the fastest cars u can buy, 0-60 in well under 4 secs, and sounds unbelievable
no faults but it being a TVR its wise to be in the AA, they are know for not being the most reliable car in the world, i have had no trouble though, and all parts are cheap coz its basicly landrover, rover and ford parts
yes lots of history and its in the garage now having a complete servive and check over
deffo no back seats, but plenty of room behind for some PROPER ICE, which is what was going to be my next job ( i had no intention of getting rid to be honest, until i saw your motor )
tax runs out end of Aug, but depending how much is on yours etc i will happily tax it etc, mot till next year but same applies will happily put 12 months on if your car has etc
i live in conwy so only bout 45 mins away which is nothing really
Either way anymore questions feel free to ask, and good luck with what ever you decide mate catch u soon
Max power - 340bhp @ 5500rpm
Max torque - 350ft.lbs @ 4000rpm
Standing quarter mile - 12.2 secs
0-60 - 4.1 secs
0-100 - 10.2 secs
Do it do it do it, even if you only keep it for a short while. I would love to be able to say I'd owned a TVR.
yep i know you should swap deffo, unless you really need the cash for the sale, although i know which would be easier to sell which would be the TVR anyway
go 4 it its the sexyest noise u could ever hear my uncles had about 10 TVRs in his lifetime and they all were beautifull pieces of kit the tusken was a bit rubbish though was constently goin in garage 4 this and that but the griffin,chamearas,and chimeras and ceberas were sound go 4 it!!!!!he seems an honest type of bloke aswell to be fair!!!!
Just been offered a swap for this
just sel mate anytin else u get will b a downgrade get a much "cash!" as you can an beef the scooby engine up with a bigger turbo an uprated everytin we all know thats what u want.
Even if you do say u recon ur past all the fast cars,
You know im talkin sense
The wise man has spoken, lol....
Cheers John, you kinda tellin me what i already know
Well the auction is up too £11,850 now with a genuine bidder
Could just do with a couple of more genuine bidders to jump it up to £15,000 or so now
There is still about 8 hours left and over 500 people watching the auction so theres hope yet.
iv got me fingers crossed bud, its the best way mate at the end of the day if you do a swop ul just b in the same situation cos ull hav 2 cars again,
its obvious ever since you put the topic up about which car shal i keep u cud tel u didnt wanna say bye to ya baby!
plus u let out a few hinters to me last sun ie "are you gonna video me goin round this next year" wel unles u wanna rally round the prom in the rangy ur mind was obviously on keepin the scooby,
end of talk lol
i have gotta say m8 thats a 1 of a kind scooby there aint no mistakin theres hundreds of blue 1s no offence any scooby owners so u can never really tell whos who cause they all look the same with rally graffix or not lol(and no1 take offence cause my dream car is a blue scooby with bronze wheels so there lol)but urs does stand out from the crowd m8 uve come along way wioth ur scooby that was first car that stood out wen i joined apart from if it was parked nxt 2 jimbos lmao
but keep it cause u obviously in ur heart of hearts dont wanna flog it
come up with an idea m8y why dont 1 of us lot of ebay bump it up a bit 4 u??????
13.1 thousand with an hour left. Shes going..........shes going..................

Thats been done earlier in the auction, its too close to the end of the auction to do that now.
Cheers anyways matey....
Auction over.Going going gone. Ended at....£13,251
Is that it final mate?
Is it going?
Yeah, its going within the next few days
i reaken u let it go a bit cheap m8!!!lol
but then agen just think u got 13k 2 play with now
I was hoping for more but hey, thats life i guess....
Just need to move on now.
Spending £8,000 on new double glazing out of the proceeds just dosnt appeal to me somehow
so will you be spending some on the scooby then? if so wot are your plans?
:go: :go: :go:
Erm, probably not as yet. Need to spend some funds on my house (Boring i know)
Probably looking at getting a front mount intercooler next
