...driven by poofs called Gervaise who frequent the EVO board?? ..... and is a scoob a real mans car?? . i think so

 

How can a Scoob be a real mans car?

4WD so you cant spin it
ABS for the nunces who cant brake
Power assitance for the girly blokes trying to park.

Pah. Pansy cars.

Richard,

With the power vested in me I hearby award you the order of the


Stirring spoon

 

...oooh hark at him
...feel the breeze blowing thru my hair...now who's the nonce.....

 

Open top cars are girly cars?
A few F1 drivers might disagree.

Anyways... unless your name ends in

-kinen
-kankunen

then there far moer exciting cars you could be driving than Scoobies

Clios for starters.

Bri

 

Well let's face it, you're both wannabes, aren't you?

Elise drivers want a Ferrari but can't afford it.

Impreza drivers think they're Richard Burns on the Special Stage, but in fact are talentless ******.

 

..... another blue rinse Mrs Jones?? ...going anywhere nice this year.....ooooh tenerife how nice .....i dont like foreign food personally......

Whoah there Leslie!

Can I take the Elise please? Not that I'm biased or anything. Bri's right though. ABS for big wusses

 

why would elise drivers want a ferrari? Many people aspire to owning the worlds best drivers car. Ferrari owners wish they just bought one instead.

I own a Lotus 340r and an EVO6 gsr and a friend of mine owns an elise 111s and a Scooby WRX.

In the last 2 years between us we've owned a lot of other cars but ended up with these combinations.

We both decided that if funds allow you have to have a lightweight (elise or caterham variant) and a 4wd saloon (EVO or Scooby) to pretty much cover all your motoring needs. (until funds allow for the Zonda !)

As far as a w/e country blast in decent weather is concerened or a dry trackday, the elise/340r is much much more involving and stimulating than the EVO/Scooby and more of a drivers car and harder to drive. Ultimately its a lot more fun. The elise variants can be tuned to whatever so hairdressers cars they aint and well driven on a circuit they are veeery quick.

But saying all that, we both love our scooby/evo as much. They are a very different car and better in different scenarios. Sterile, uninvolving and half-removed maybe be also so highly competent and reassuring. And they do the kids & shopping etc.. and keep the rain out ;-)

Type RA's had no ABS I think you'll find..
Bloke over the road from my old mum's drum lives @ home with his retired parents, washes his Elise a lot 'n' drives it when it's dry enough Seems like a nice boy though.. [/quote]

You either get ABS or water spray

I have a MY00 WRX Type RA WRC LTD Edition which has ABS but no water injection. They seem to make the specs up sometimes esp. on the the LTD editions as mine has alcantara seats, air con , 74F paint and full electric pack. BUt no side skirts, no noise suppression , rock hard pink suspension, close ratio box and an RA badge on the back .

cheers

Just usual jealousy from the Scooby brigade that they have to trundle round in a souped-up rep-special with go-faster stripes whilst us Elise owners actually drive sports cars.
Think I'll continue prefer my S2 with it's looks to die-for rather the myopic myxamotoid rabbit look of the Scooby !
Mind you, if I ever do take up ram-raiding or armed robbery I'll know what car to do it in !

 

Buy an RA ! None of your girly ABS here! best of both worlds!

 

My wrx has switchable abs, just pull the relay out! Best of all three worlds!

 

I used to run one of the Lotus Elises a year or so ago whilst working for the local Lotus dealer. They are not as much of a hairdressers car as you may think! 0-60 in 5.5 secs from 118bhp and no turbo lag

As a year round car - not a hope in hell of me owning one. But, as a weekend car - simply suberb!!

Finally to quell any blow-dry rumours, you only need to spend 2000 pounds to get 190 brake from a car that weighs 693kgs (Remember, power/weight ratios of this nature are seriously in the supercar league!)

 

Come on Askew..... Admit it..

Ya only jealous coz ya can't fit in one..

Oh and ya too tall for a hairdresser

You'd do ya back in clipping the silven locks of of those little ole grannies that you so admire

This subject pi55e5 me off a bit.

What makes a Hairdressers car? Am I right in thinking it has to look pretty but go, well not so well? Or is it I suspect a little jelousy?

BTW I drive a girlie RWD mid engined 2 seater MR2, not a farmers wagon that has visited a max power live show

 

There is no way the Elise is a Hairdressers car. Just sit in one (or try to get in one ) let alone drive it - it is about as far from coiffure's transportation as they come.

The MX-5/MGF/MR-2/Z3 - yes, a hairdryer and crimping scissors come on the options list but not the Elise!

Granted, compared to a Caterham, the Elise seems positively luxurious and flabby, but the Elise still makes the Impreza look like a reps car from a drivers perspective

PWR is the key, but so is overall curb weight - the lighter the car, the faster it corners, quicker it slows, quicker it goes

Plus don't forget, even a standard Elise has a greater PWR than a Std UK WRX

Elise - c170bhp/tonne
WRX - c155bhp/tonne

But then the Caterham fireblade has 325bhp/tonne AND costs £4k less

 

Having followed an Elise around 3 sisters circuit, watching it rotate **JUST** infront of my bumper I can safely say he wasn't a hairdresser. Although back in the paddock he certainly needed :-

A hairdresser (After removing his helmet)
Dry cleaners to clean his racesuit after seeing a Scoob smoking its fronts in his peripheral vison during his rotation.

ABS for hairdressers... err I think not. I've put my fuse back in

BS

 

Ridiculous.
I now have both (as of yesterday when I picked up the Impreza) and it is already blindingly obvious a real driving enthusiast will go for the Elise keys every time.

And no, I really don't want a Ferrari.

And if there was a non convertable Elise at the time I would have bought that instead, but Elise drivers don't get a choice.

The Supercharged Lotus 340R gives you a good 400bhp/tonne

No slouch for a hairdressers car.

 

Forgive me but I dont understand why you wouldnt just buy a Caterham and be done with it?

 

Just get a cossie and have done with it.
astraboy.

 

Having watched the Caterhams compete up Harewood Hillclimb I think I'll stay with my ABS, 4WD thanks...

A Caterham on the limit looks some what scarey. I've never admitted to being able to drive with any skill..... Never will..

I think this thread belongs in the muppets section.
