As a new wrx owner I was just wonderin what sort of cars want to race Impreza's? When I had my 106 gti it was always bloody corsa's, saxo's, metro's, punto's or anything about that size! Who challenges you??

 

I'm not a racer but don't go near MR2's unless you have a lot of mods...

 

Bloody corsa's, saxo's, metro's, punto's or anything really. It's mainly people who just want to see a scooby go rather than race. I rarely race but I do occasionally partake in the traffic light GP. There's nothing in the law saying I shouldn't do 0-40 in 2.8secs

 

Haven't owned a Scooby for long but my favorite trick is sit at the lights giving the eye and slightly reving

Then watching your "opponant" roar away and then I just gently pull away

Its gives me imense pleasure and I am sure the other guy tells all his mates he has "done" a Scooby

 

flame suit on

 

Yup, pretty much anyone in any POS that has an interest in cars will either fancy their chances or just want you to entertain them. Best to ignore it, but I didn't last night with the 4.0l BMW 5 series on my way to w*rk And I slightly bogged on launch and fluffed my 3rd gear

Where's mi flame suit

 

anybody in any car, cos a wrx is slow u know.

 

my car int slow m8 ive been bustin up the corsa brigade ever since i got mine

 

Yeah,know what you mean matey,I do the same in my work's corsa combo

 

Spose a WRX may be slow to a lot of you but Ive just come from a 106gti so Its fast enough for me at the moment!

 

A rep mobile (mondeo) tried to overtake me by going round me on outside of a roundabout the other day. Should have let it go but that little devil in me said "nail it", so i did!
STI 1 - Repmobile a big fat 0

I get all sorts of shed's trying it on but most times i won't entertain as they aint worth petrol.

 

innit

 

Is the hutch slow this afternoon?

 

pmsl at this thread ...... so glad I got rid of my scoob the other week

 

LoL.... do you really mean that?

Last sunday on the A11 there were loads of cars, mitisis(evos,ftos,gtos)and scoobs just trundling along (including you're ex scooby gutman!)........then who come screaming past in the outside lane........

Mr vectra with wife and kids at 100 mph+
shame it was a sunday no camera vans about..... bet he felt good.................

 

Much as I loved the scoob im glad its gone big time. Having watched people trying to sell these cars on here and elsewhere the chance of it being a millstone around my neck was quite real.

Great car, had it nearly 3 years, replaced it with something which has already payed for itself and now its free motoring all the way....

Besides when I bought the scoob there were probably 4 or 5 in my town. Now there are probably 15-20 and 50% of those are driven by the reverse baseball cap brigade.

Not the car for me anymore ......

Gary

 

Can understand where your coming from there matey,Bought my sti about 18 months ago,only one other that i know of within the area,Last count,there is now six on my road alone all lesser model's though !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thats a real shame.......but thats life!
you will miss it....
One day you will have another....... I'll give you ten to one!

 

Whenever I see another I remember it mate........but then I look at my bank balance and I smile again.

My next 'proper' car will be light enough to use on track which is what I really want from a car. The scoob wasn't built for that im afraid. Mind you before I buy that car I have a hankering for my mates E36 M3 ..... However in the meantime i'm really enjoying driving my £350 run around. You know what, I bloody mean that too, makes me smile everytime I drive it.

Gary

 

Yes i know what you are saying.... my TD escort i use for work has real kick and does bring a smile to my face.... but when the weekend comes and the wife don't need the scoob....Our 03 STI PPP really does impress.... worth every penny!

 

I have my 205 for the buzz, and it gives a bigger one than the scoob used to.

 

205

 

Seen the videos.... very impressive......
Still cant help thinking one day you will have another scoob.......

 

With Gary on this one - departed Scooby-land last week. Got myself a subtle sleeper that willl suprise quite a few motors.

Certainly don't miss the "attention" I used to get from what I can affectionately refer to a "motor-*******".....

I'm already enjoying watching/reading posts like this!

Dan

 

Well for me the attention you get is part of the reason you buy something like my 03 STIPPP, Otherwise i'd buy an audi etc etc.......

 

You've all got no chance. My Wagon is an sti PPPP.

Yes, you heard it right; like Spinal Tap's amps that go all the way to eleven, my extra P makes my car invincible.

 

Yes if you have a dog he is very lucky.........
Mine has and never will be anywhere in our scoob..... he will have to like and lump the escort TD!
As for the extra P be great to find out!

 

I was the exact same - but it depends on what class as attention. The main reason for owning a Scoob is moreso the performance and smiles per mile.
Had 6 years of it in 2 different Scoobs - wouldn't change it for the world.

Scoobs don't have the image they used to - and there is more to driving than racing everything on the road

Going back to the original question, i now have 'dad' in his people carrier trying it on, sitting 2 inches from my bumper

I really can't be bothered with it, so let him go past....with the wife and 4 kids in the car looking as white as ghosts!!!

 

LOL!!
