Come to think of it why have I ended up into scoobys

 

A man after my own heart. First car was a 205 GTI 1.6, then a 306 GTI6 (what a car that was!!! Still miss it now!) and then onto a 205 GTI 1.9.
One of my fondest memories was starting work at 6am with me and a Golf GTI "spirited driving" (on private roads of course) for an absolute age, him getting past on the straights and me getting back on the roundabouts.




205's are like quick little go karts on the road. The 306 was a dream, not neck-breakingly fast but a lovely car, just don't try a 3 point turn in one.

 

Peugeot 206 xsi before My previous scoob
and others along the way Peugeot 205 gti & a Peugeot 306 D-Turbo & another Peugeot 205 grd run around..

and a ****house green citroen ax diesel I had to buy off a guy after I accidently backed into it and basically fooked the damn thing.

 

looks like the old french cars were a popular!! im always on the hunt for a good 1.9gti just to say ive had 1 and enjoyed it!!

 

BMW e30 325 sport,Lachs silver.mtech 2 kit on it,genuine Alpina wheels.

Fabia VRS, with some suspension bits and some tinkering from Jabbasport.

Was going to trade it in when I got my scoob, but couldn't see it go such was the love, so still got it.

 

In my case,which Impreza do you mean....I've had 3
