Hey all,
Got a visit from one of your members on our stateside site,
[plug]WRXFanatics [/plug].
He suggested visiting your site, and I thought it'd be interesting to check out the subie love in the UK. Cultural exchange, scooby meets subie and all.
Looks like y'all have a really nice thing going here.

Yeah, we love our Scooby's. Shame we don't have your weather, and 2.5 litre engines though

lol.

LoL, There's lots of complaining around here right now about the high gas prices. I'm sure you fellas still pay lots more than we do.
The highest octane available here in Ca. is crappy 92, and we pay about $2.45 a gallon.
I only have the 2.0 engine. Wanted to get the wagon for stealth reasons.
The 2.5 STI sedan attracts too mush unwanted attention IMHO

Twin scroll turbos MMMMMM

$2.45 equates to about £1.31. We pay £3.95 per gallon, but allowing for the different gallon measurement, it's still £3.29; or $6.15

I hear what you're saying about the cars being attention seekers. We have a big theft problem over here, particularly with cars like Scooby's. Just yesterday a guy was held at gunpoint locally to me whilst on a test drive with a prospective buyer Probably not that big a deal over there, what with your gun law situation, but over here it made the news and has everyone talking. We get a lot of break-ins for the keys, as the newer cars have security that's too much trouble to by-pass, so it's easier to terrorise a family for a piece of metal Our police are almost useless too, mainly acting as tax collectors for our government these days.

Welcome to scoobynet I new it wouldn't be long
before you visited this site, you get more action on
here Everyone jealous of you guys in the states

Hahaha, But then the Subie IS AWD and made to kick azz in weather like yours.

corradoboy

Oh yes, the cold and damp reaps dividends with the intercooler, and AWD makes them pretty handy against most comers 98RON fuel helps too, although we'd like some 100 like the Japs get. Our roads can be a little more challenging than the long straights you get too

CaliforniaRex

We actually have one station not to far from me where 100 octane can be had for 4.50 gal.
As far as twisty roads go, there are plenty of them in Ca. I live near the Santa Cruz Mtns (hills really) and there are some awesome roads there weaving through the redwood trees.
