Hi Mate & Firstly welcome to the ESC Forums

There are loads of Scoobs out there to choose from , Really your best bet mate would be to get yourself out on the next two Thursday nights if possible

This Thursday ( 9th ) Halfway house On the A127

Following Thursday (16th ) The Lodge Nr South Woodham Ferres

Here you will see 20 / 30+ Different scoobs from all ages & Years different limited editions etc ...

You will also be able to talk to the guys & Girls who own these cars , To give you a good idea about running costs etc...

Then set yourself a budget & start looking ...

Off course the best model to have has to be the Bugeye WRX 2001 But i may be a bit biased

What i will add though if you do decide to get a Scoob & You also live in Essex you will not be short of events to attend


Hope to see you perhaps @ one of the events mentioned above

If it's so good, why does everybody modify them??

As Baz says, the 'Classic' was the first and the best

BTW, welcome to the ESC

have a look at a good few scoobies first.

Always test drive them, if they appear to be holding back, misfiring, blue smoke, walk away.

Import Imprezas are the best, as they have more power, and usually are fully loaded.

Unless an Import has been remapped for UK fuel, you'll have to use octane boost every time you fill up.

check the car over like you would any other car

Post counts should be 20 per page and every 20th post is a "corner". The first post on a page to be precise. Some people count the last post on a page too but they're just desperate

Go to User CP > edit options > thread display options > number of posts to show per page > set to 20

Everyone wears Pink shirts with the names on. Bit of a worry for the ESC trip to Brighton I tell you.
