Talking

Well after 3 years Ihave had to let the old scooby go she has done me well with over 80,000 miles in those 3 years and not missed a beat.........

Decided to go for a hairdressers car instead and have some fun in a 2 seater so I expect a good ribbing for this!!!!

Out with the old


in with the new





Nice 3 litre engine naturally aspirated and boy does she pull, not as quick as the scooby and the handling is not as sure round corners the traction control light flashes away but still bloody good fun and servcing every 15K which is a relief.

V. nice, sterling grey with black? Same as I've specc'd apart from the alloys. Can't wait for mine (delivery in Jan possibly) Great car.

I found the 3.0 not much slower than my sti7, how are you finding it?

I think it also looks pretty mean, and I'm no hairdresser!!

PPPMAT - Yep they are not much slower than an STI7 and to be honest when you see the traction control light still flashing in 3rd as you have the loud pedal to the floor you know you have plenty of power. It has just loosened up now at about 2500 miles and is starting to pull very very well!!! Fourth and fifth are great and have more guts than my impreza did in those gears. (feels like it anyway).

Mine was due in Jan but got moved forward as someone pulled out so had it a month and I am very chuffed.

You get plenty of turning heads as much if not more than the Impreza and it works well with the young fillies!!!!!

Faser - I had a MY98 uk with SS downpipe centre and firestorm BB it was a bloody good car and very very loud !

Personally I do not know either I think the car looks great!!!!

Had first puncture yesterday and a nice new run flat tire will set me back £230 Bugger.

An Audi TT I would never stoop so low!

Had a few local Impreza's have a bit if fun and it is bloody great to be blasting around with a scooby stuck to your tail!!!

ADP, those wheels on the silver car do look very 5 series-ish.
