Image?

What image?

I think people need to realise that THAT is the image of an impreza today.

Unfortunately plummeting prices on SH imprezas mean they can be purchsed by the young, and thus so frowned upon.

I borght a 350bhp cossie at 19 and my impreza at 22.

Does that put me in the same boat as these people you talk of?

Not having a dig fella. Just food for thought maybe?

 

I think you need to expand your comment a little. I often drive one handed with my windows down and with my brown haired (and foxy ) wife in the car. Does that mean i'd **** you off too?

 

Just like to ask, what is the recommended driving stance for driving around in an Impreza then?

 

I've got no problem with the boy racer types owning a scoob. I only wish I was there age with an ace car.
When I was 19 the best car I had was a calibra.....
As for an image..... all sorts of people drive scoob's, we're not talking lamborghini here.

 

i have to have 2 hands on the wheel in mine as 35mm offset 18" wheels on a classic impreza (small omp steering wheel) sometimes like to steer themselves when "pressing on"

to be honest i wish i could do the one handed thing, but driving even remotely fast over crap roads one handed in mine = danger

should have seen it before the expensive 4wheel alignment

 

I hate the Fast and Furious look a likes with the huge bodykits and jap graphics. The Impreza's heritage is from rallying FFS.

But that is MY personal opinion. People might not like the look of my car. Thats their personal opinion.

 

I guess the OP has retracted his thoughts then.

 

I think some impreza owners seem to think the car is in a higher class than what it really is.... its an affordale practical nippy car.

Thats why we have them, if we could afford Porsche GT3 RS's then we'd be driving about in those... i know i would

Scoobys are cheap to buy a desirable, maybe with the huge increases in fuel tax it may force some of the younger drivers to sell?

 

Here's hoping, but not just young drivers as some young drivers are as sane as us "older" drivers

I think we can class them as the moron element of the community - young and old.

 

i bought my scooby at 20 i pay 3084 pounds a year insurance 120 pounds a week petrol drive with my windows down and a hat on is there a problem with that??????

 

You'll have to expand on the "hat" for an opinion on that.

I mean.....a top hat would look quite ridiculous as Imprezas don't really have the headroom (unless you have a very low seat, or diminutive stature), a bowler might be acceptable, but only if you were driving a 22b (well.....it's the closest Impreza to the "Big Cat" Jaguar that Steed drove......think arches), a straw boater would blow off coz you've got your window down, and a Burberry baseball cap worn backwards is probably a bit "chavvy" for most.

 

Yep, the brand has now hit the affordability brackets of baseball cap wearing chavs, hence the **** ugly body kits and blinged up efforts being spotted of late!

I suppose in NSR we're the last bastion for the elite Subaru owners; intelligent, affluent but also modest and charming.... we're a dying breed

 

I remember it was not long ago that the OP posted saying he had just bought his scoob, now he is up is banging on about what people do with theirs as if he is superior to them

 

mine is standard and i never drive with the windows down
i love it when the chavs pull up behind u at the lights u can here the tinnyness of their stereo and then they rev the **** out of it and u here the exhaust rattle too
its a privelege to own a scooby as they are not cheap cars(fuel and insurance wise)

 

Damn straight.... it's a passion, not unlike the passion I have for SwissTony's girlfriend

 

I will admit I am young and i do drive with my windows down. This is only because i bought my car on monday and the weather has been hot and due to my weight consious mind, i decided to get a car without Air Conditioning.
I prefer the feeling of knowing that i am in a nice car that i like as opposed to trying to prove it to anybody else.

 

a baseball hat look at my thread in members gallery dont think its chavved up as you say before u say it lights were on there already looking for new ones

 

AS THE ORIGINAL SWISS TONY WOULD SAY

DRIVING A SCOOBY IS LIKE MAKING LOVE TO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

NOT SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS WITH UR WINDOWS DOWN AND SCOOTER BLARING OUT UR STEREO AND UR BURBERRY CAP ON BACKWARDS!!!

 

**** what was the original post?

 

Never said it was........

 

i quite like scooter...lol

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! lol

 

I've been driving with all my windows down, and the sunroof open, as it's been lovely weather and there was an onshore breeze. Oh and I had Radio 1 on my Kenwood stereo, some cool designer shades on, and when stuck in traffic, my elbow out the window.

No Burberry in sight, 43(just), and to most people a totally standard Scooby. I just enjoy the fresh air, as I spend all day stuck in a modern glass office block with crap aircon and no opening windows

 

Don't see many young ones driving newages tbh, classics on the other hand.....

oooohhh......flame time...

 

Since when has owning a Subaru become like a private members club?!
Only a hand picked number are allowed the honer.Its a car ppl albiet it a very nice car but all this rubbish about what music,what head wear,what bodykits etc,etc a Subaru driver should wear,listen too,not fit is crazy. where's the love..............

 

Nothing wrong with the window down,listening to some of my favourite tunes,it's my f**king car i will do what i like.
It's not a privilege to drive an Impreza it's a choice and with all choices some people will not like yours or mine.

 

Didn't understand that Sorry.

Scooter - they that band that sounds like the smurfs? On the advert the blokes are doing some funny dance with the legs and swinging their arms like apes... WTF? I am getting old lol

 

at the end of the day people do what they want with there scoobs drive with windows down i drive with my windows cos i like listening to the sound of my scoob cant see why it matters its there car let them spoil it with big body kits.oh and dont know about scooter
