Angry Bashed the Car

Bashed the car yesterday going into a f**king multistory car park : . It was my own fault as I wasn’t really taking much notice and the turning was tighter than I thought. Oh well, at least it’s a good excuse to get the skirts painted just got the quote back from the garage £345 inc the skirts, which I thought was a fair price.

Unlucky there mate. Done my 03 wrx recently , was a nightmare being without it. Had a nissan micra loan car for 3 weeks . Thing is the micra standard stereo sounded better than the scoobys!

Multistory Car parks p1ss me off, There to narrow, and ive curbed my wheels many of times in previous cars, so I always drive really slow in the scooby, the only thing is you have some grandad in his Maestro behind you stuck to your rear bumper cause he doesnt understand why you have to drive so slow.

Noooooooooo.

Gutted for you. Definately look better with the side skirts done though and should take some of the pain away for handing over £345.

When my gearbox was rebuilt I had them fit my Magnex decat centre and backbox at the same time. When I picked it up and handed over £1600 the sound of the burble almost took away the pain of the money while driving home.

I would need morphine to take away the pain of handing over £1600

Tell me about it, that's main dealers for you and a car that's 3 months out of warranty!!

To make things worse, a fellow scooby owner on SN has been quoted ~£800 for a gearbox rebuild by API Engines

My total bill was £2300 but Subaru paid £700 as a goodwill gesture due to a manufacturing defect.

However, I can still remember driving home for the 1st time with the new backbox on....burble, burble, ROAR
