I am really enjoying my Scary Sprite. Just last week I was driving some nice roads, when I came up behind a slower car, which had an Impretza behind it. When a space appeared, the scooby passed and shot off. I would have loved to know what the Scooby driver was thinking as this wee Sprite sat right on his tail and couldnt be shaken off !! "
