Default I'm Back Guys.....With a STI V5!!!!

Well guys, after selling my stunning white scooby due to personal problems i'm back in a scooby again, and my god does it feel great

As most of you know i recently split with my wife and as i was on a downer i made the stupid mistake of selling the scooby. I knew i'd made a mistake the minute i watched the kid drive off in my baby. To cheer myself i went out and bought an Audi S3 and all i can say is what a load of poop! Classy car but such a boring driving experience, nothing like the scooby. Well after a few weeks of ownership i just knew i had to get another scooby so up went the S3 for sale.

Well the good news is i ended up swapping with Shawn R off this site for his Stunning STI V5 scooby, and OMG, the car is a beast. I absolutey love the car and without doubt it's my favorite scooby to date. The car itself is an Ex Graham Goode owned car and has loads of Graham goode goodies on the car which help it push out 340bhp. The power of the car is amazing, i can't stop grinning from ear to ear everytime i drive it. My old car was pushing out around 250 bhp, and i thought it was quick, but **** me, this thing is lightning The condition of the car is excellent and it has only done a genuine 55,000. I have loads of receipts for the car and in the last 7 months it has had a new gearbox, new clutch, new flywheel, new diffs and new discs at the cost of £4000, which leaves me with a car that feels so smooth to drive

All in all i'm made up to have a scooby again and to have an STI is brilliant, i can't wait to come to the meets again, hope you guys approve and please let me know what you think

Ps. I've also patched things up with my wife and we are back together again too so right now everything in my life is just great

Its easier to sell fridges to Eskimos at the moment the value is all in the owning and driving pleasure which is priceless
