I own a R reg Vauxhall Astra 1.6 8v ![Frown](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
I have had the car for almost one year. as i sadly wrote of my first car...92 K Subaru Justy 1.2 GLII 5Dr in maroon. I loved that car, so nimble. I hit a kerb stone in the snow we had last January. and it was not worth the repair bill to repair it. soi we scraped it. I was with out a car for 2 weeks then i found this in a local garage.
Its in great nick.
here it is...

since these photos, i have had a Cat back Sebring exhaust fitted, sounds ok, but no subaru burble![Frown](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
So when insurance companies will allow me on a 2 litre scooby one that is turbocharged ill get one...about 2 year time with a sensible insurance quote.
i can't wait.
I guess ill just have to put up with sitting in the passanger seat of my dads 03 WRX...

Don't worry, we've all done our time in slower cars. In fact, most of my cars have been horrible ****boxes that make your Astra seem like a Pagani Zonda. Patience is a virtue

Yugo 45 - felt decidedly dangerous above 65mph
1978 Polo L - 895cc providing a whopping 45bhp
Citroen C15 van - at least this had room for 8 mates in the back
2 Ford Fiestas - both 1.3s which could nearly hit a ton.
Finally I got my Scoob, and it was worth the wait!

Scoo8y Mad that looks OK
you have to start from somewhere. Keep it looking original-ish don't go down the tacky route of fitting lexus lights and 20" jap style tailpipes etc etc it will just make it look OTT and rather silly

'Nice Astra though. Looks good'
Not being funny but posting a pick of that on here? FFS its a fecking bog standard R reg Astra. LOL I've seen it all now.
And I don't give a **** if I get flamed for 'its all he can afford bs'. We've all been there but ffs why post that heap of crap on here and expect compliments?

'hmmmm this coming from some fcukwit who has nothing better to do than troll at 1pm in the morning.
take a hint m8 get olive oil drunk and have some fun instead of taking the
p(ss '
I'm not taking the **** just giving the poor lad a reality check of posting cars like that on these forums.
It might be his pride of joy but 'looks good' and 'nice motor' etc just make me want to
![Eek2](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/eek2.gif)
Plus how the **** can a Subaru Justy 1.2 have a Subaru Burble and be nimble?
Reality Check needed methinks

Some people are just interested in what other people drive. Seems you're not one of them eh.

Can't believe the trolls on this thread! From seeing SC008Y_MAD's posts on this BBS, he may be young, he may be a bit skint, but he seems like a proper Subaru enthusiast to me. When he responds to other people's posts he compliments them on their cars, is never negative, and spreads a much-needed bit of niceness and goodwill about the place. Look no further than yourselves for espousing the chavvy, yobbish attitude that everyone seems to think is pervading scooby ownership.
