Thanks Taylor, would love a Spec C blobeye or a Hawkeye JDM STi but I have to admit I would also like an Evo 8 FQ 340 or 360.

You may be right there Mervil, but it would have need £K's spent on it ie 6 speed DCCD conversion to make it the ideal car and even then it would have been a modified WRX.

Looks like the S202 is sold as a buyer is coming down tomorrow with £'s to have a look at the car.

Mixed feelings really I'm glad it has sold (fingers crossed) but I will be sad to see her go as she is a real hoot to drive although the lack of soundproofing does make it rather noisy when on the motorway.

Once I have the £ notes in hand then the hunt for a suitable replacement starts...

Thanks Taylor, the car has now gone to it's new home. it was a bittersweet moment watching 'my' car drive off into the distance.

Never mind though I have now left the 'fugly' bug club (although it was a nice club to be part of), now I need to start looking seriously for another car.

Now I can start mocking the fuglies again, it makes worth selling the car for. (Only joking once a fugly always a fugly )

It was sad seeing the car drive away knowing how much time/effort and money had gone into the car.

The new owner rang me when he got back home and thanked me for selling him the car - he said he loved the handling, looks, acceleration and everything about the car.

He also said that he was glad that he made the effort to travel to see the car as there were cars closer to him but he really liked the look of the S202 and he said he definitely made the right choice.

I was really happy to hear his positive comments and was glad he appreciated the car.

Great Tyron, I'm glad he appreciates what Sti and what you have done to the S202

A little cracker no doubt - but dry up those tears and dust yourself down for the next generation of Scoob for you

You will make a well informed choice, I'm sure
