Further to my earlier post, I have a suggestion that others on this forum may be interested in or wish to pursue on their own.
We all think that our cars are worth more than the market does (especially to ourselves). Therefore I propose swapping cars of approximate value as an alternative. That way we can avoid the unpleasantness of handling the measily bundles of cash that we would get by advertising our cars in the autotrader.
I have an STI 2 Type RA, with all standard juicy bits + aircon, Scoobysport backbox, filter and brakes, as well as 16" Advan Dirt trial alloys. The car is in suberb condition (really)and has done 38,000 miles, with full UK service history. As you all know, STI RAs are seriously quick.
However, my girlfriend hates the thing for various reasons, one of which is that it makes her ***** bounce too much (I don't see the problem)and every time I open it up she screams. (Anyone else familiar with this problem?).
Hence I am up for swapping it for a "slightly" more sedate later model WRX (must have vanity mirrors.........). If you are a WRX owner (97 or 98 vintage would be nice) who's girlfriend is less of a wimp and want a rawer/faster Scooby, drop me a line.
Cheers

Good luck in finding someone to swap, unfortunately I have a very lowly five door UK spec MY95.
I don't know what it is with girls and Scoobs, my wife hates mine with a passion. I think that she is just probably jelous of the attention my car gets.
As for ***** bouncing, why not!!!

My wife made me go out and test drive Scooby's and wanted one with all the bits so we ended up with a UK 98 car with the full Prodrive treatment apart from the interior package. Change the girlfriend if I was you because mine wants a P1 now !!!!!!!
