Hey Rich

If you want my advice sit back and enjoy it bud... it would be a be a shame for someone else to profit from all that hard work you have put into it.

Don't sell..... Drive..... Enjoy

yup, it was the only garage with a deep blue subaru in the country when I bought her

I think they look good with or with out the headlights - what I like best is none subaru fans can't tell what model year it is, I ve been asked recently if it was the new 06 model with a private reg

you don't see to many like this around

Is the girlfriend pushing you to sell the car for a house?
If so, ditch the girl and keep the car !

trouble is I now have a polo and only done 2k miles since febuary in the scoob, and every mile Ive been looking in the mirrior for speed cops or lazers I don't think I ve broke the speed limmits in the polo but give me but give me 90 degrees on the oil temp the horns aprear and its loony time with the scoob

I don't want to sell as I ve test drove a lot of cars recently and nothing compares to this - STI PPP is nothing, EVO 320 isnt worth the money for so little difference, Porsche boxter too slow, I would need a 911 to really temp me and thats when the girl friend starts screaming about a house

I think my days of fast cars are comming to a end , but

If she's so desperate for a house, Rich... Tell her to find a job that pays so well as yours. Fair's fair mate.

Keep it - If you sell I promise you'll regret it big time and it'll sour your relationship. At least that's a good enough excuse to give her!

Don't sell it mate. It's absolutely mint. I am doing the same to my WRX - slowly modifiying it and enjoying the process. I'd definately keep the car for as long as possible If I were you and enjoy it at every opportunity. The Bug-Eye is a rare car and that has to be one of the best modified examples I have seen. That is a georgeous looking car.
