From Evo magazine...

"Impreza bores are nerdy anoraks who spend too much time in their bedrooms playing computer games and live at home with their mums"

And there I was thinking I was a normal Scoob driver

So who will admit to being an Impreza bore then?

I'd kind of subscribe to that theory judging by the types i've seen behind the wheel of an Impreza, that's why i've got no badges on mine so it get's mistaken for a Daewoo estate which distances me.

If there is such a thing as an Impreza stereotype, it's surely not that. However, not buying Evo magazine may easily become a common characteristic of our breed.

Admittedly it was a 'contributor' rather than an actual staff writer and he did go on to slag off his dad for being a 'Ferrari bore' but it does make you wonder what most people think of us.

Thumbs up

Thats the last thing on my mind as I brake into Quarry bend, or snake down the A507

F**K em. Their loss. I stopped caring what people thought of me in high school.

Lifes a bitch and then you drive!

Erm... hands up, I'm afraid (although I have my own home, the rest is fair enough). Consider this:
Driving a Scooby is fun and easy
Living with mum is easy and cheap
Playing computer games is cheap and fun

So, who's up for a cheap, easy, fun life?!?!

pretty much covers me :P

recently had the choice,

A) spend the money i had saved up on a deposit on a place for me and my girlfriend, buy a g reg fiesta.

B) spend the money i had saved up on a scooby, live at home with my dad paying peanuts, get drunk all the damn time, leaving plenty of cash left to spend on my car.

Congratulations B you won by a long shot :P

Cool

Drive real cars for fun and for a living, seems ok to me. I even sold my Scooby and still love cars!! Perhaps this accuser is actually a car hating vegetarian that only looks at the magazine to find out who to complain to but never actually buys it and has an especially low level of automotive knowledge.

Guilty - I also have a traction engine (road going steam thing that is like a steam roller - BUT ISN'T ONE!)

Computers, not really.
