In Germany, on Fairgrounds so called Auto-Scooters are very popular (I really don´t know, if England or the USA have them, too).
ah, "dodgems"
In these Auto-Scooters semi-braindead people drive around in small two-passenger scooters and ram each other (sounds like fun, eh?). They play very loud charts-techno in the background.
with some scruffy-lookin' type shouting "scream if you wanna go faster" into a microphone, eyeing up the girls, and collecting the money that falls out on the loop of the rollercoaster. aaah ... fairgrounds!
In my opinion this whole auto-scooter-thing is the physical embodiment of Scooter´s music. So perhaps, this is where they got their name from? ;-)
